Martin Logan, Quest, Quest Z, ReQuest...questions


Can anyone share some light on which of these three models was 1st, 2nd and 3rd in order of age? Also, what were the sonic differences and which may be the best sonically?

Also, are they better sounding that the Squell II or SL3 of the same time period?

They were the Quest, Quest Z and Request in that order. I owned the
Quest Z and now the Odysseys. The larger panels expand everything and
the larger woofers go deeper on these units than the SL3 and Sequels.
The difference in the three were mostly aimed at getting the fusion of
sound between the electro panels and woofers more in a seemless
quality of sound without as much speed diffference in the two different
philosophies. The Odysseys improve on the speed and unison of the
panel working with the woofers but I still think suffers somewhat in its
presentation from the Request's/Quest Z's wider panel. The SL 3/ Sequel
units work ok in smaller rooms but all of these rely heavily on placement
for optimum sound quality, imaging and soundstage.
