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?

I am interested in the new Logon line also. I own the ReQuests and truly enjoy them despite their limitations. I still look forward to sitting down and listening even with nine years of ownership.

I would love to hear the Summits to compare and contrast, especially the bass and bass integration. They have the Vantage in Alaska and although it wasn't a extended listening opportunity I wasn't that impressed and I think they are asking around five grand for them.

As for tubes, they will help Logans. Isn't the Sonic Frontiers doing it for you? They reduce the leaness and flesh out the sound on my ReQuests. I use CJ premier 12's on mine and love them, but if you are a fan of BAT or Cary, I am fairly certain they will satisfy. A friend has Cary V12 monoblocks and they are beautiful looking and sound splendid.

Have Fun!
