Are You Addicted to Audio?


I love Martin Logan's I love the sound of their life like images, I can't stop listening to my Aerius i, I seem to like it more then $10,000 non electrostat speakers. Is there any speaker that sounds as life like as a Martin Logan. I want a speaker that can play LOUD for my big band and large scale orchestra music. I was thinking of a Aerial Acoustics 10T or a B&W Nautilus 802 or a Dunlavy Aletha. Which do you prefer for detail, imaging power and punch?

Hello! I have a dedicated 2 channel system with Aerial 10t's. I listened to MANY speakers for a long while before I made my choice. There was nothing under $20,000 that I felt could touch 10t's sound and presentation. These speakers work best with a good quality frontend. The better the upstream components, interconnects and cables are, the better the 10t's will sound. Good Luck! Paul
Have had the original Sequels for years (bought new within 1 year of their original release) and have been very happy with them. However, my bias for electrostatics got stood on its (my?) ear(s) when I recently heard the Revel Salons auditioned against one of Martin Logan's bigger current models. In fairness, the Revels were a good bit more expensive, but, for the first time, I thought that the detail and speed of a good electrostatic could be enjoyed with the punch of a non-planar design. Not enough space for the Salons in my current listening room, but I'd buy them IN A HURRY for a bigger area.
AS long as there are cones moving and tweeters hissing you will not get the noisefree transparency of a true electrostat - check out the new Quads full range or the Soundlab design not the hybrids - even the ML CLSz is clearer with less distortion than a Revel.
