Two questions about the latest Martin Logan's

I bought a pair of Sequel 2 speakers in the early 1990s, and I loved every second with them. Recently, I saw a pair of Vista speakers, and I was shocked by their size. They are considerably smaller (57 x 10.7 x 16.8) than my beloved Sequels (72 x 14 x 13). I know that sound is most important, but does anyone care to comment on the size difference? Also, any recommendations for tube amps (Cary or BAT ideally) to drive the Vistas?

Thanks everyone! I figured the size differance was driven more by market than technology. The trend for many OEMs is smaller speakers that integrate better with home decor. This is fine as long as sound or build quality isn't affected.

I think my shock at the smaller size of the Vista speakers derives from my experience as an engineer: There appears to be less for the money. I don't think this is actually the case. Martin Logan has always manufactured excellant, high-quality products.
