The ML Summits require a decent break-in period. All stats do, but Summits even more because of the higher membrane tension resulting from new manufacturing techniques. So they probably don't sound all that great "out of the box."

The ones I heard at CES sounded amazing and had a huge soundstage -- however -- The rep did say (when I asked) that they had only 3 demo pair, and these had plenty of mileage on them.
Chadnliz -- what you say about the bass of Martin Logan (hybrid) speakers is true, but it's not true of the bass on the Summits. They have just about the fastest, tightest, most powerful bass I've heard anywhere. When you have time to hear a pair, I'm sure you'll agree.

And they have built-in woofer amps this time (finally!) which means you can drive just the panels with a modest tube amp if you want, but without compromising bass performance (as with earlier models) by trying to drive a hybrid full range with a tube amp.
Electrostaticman > It might have been a Krell, but I wouldn't swear to it. ML demo's their Statements with the big Krells and I remember thinking "Oh, of course." I can say it wasn't a toobie, which would have been nice.
I was reading on the ML Owners website that ML was using Pass Labs amps to drive their demo Summits in Las Vegas.
Just FYI.
