Zu Essence vs Martin Logan

Electrostatics are hard to beat for vocals. That's one genre of music they really excel at.

I had the Druids, not the Essence. I now own Spires. By comparison the Druids sounded thick, slow and closed in. It was almost like listening to music in a tunnel. The Spires are open, very transparent and excel at acoustic and vocal music. The Spires can be a difficult load with impedance dropping down below 2Ohm so your amp needs to be up to the task.

I fully understand that these forums are for gathering information, but the last 4 threads from you have been about these speakers vs ??.

Just as Tricon Dave mentioned that they were slow and closed in sounding, dont let that influence you on your decision of trying these speakers....as this was in his system, in his room, and not yours. In your system and room , they might sound completely different, and might be just what you are wanting to hear from a speaker.

Buy a pair of the speakers and if you like them, then fine your search is over, and if not, sell them and move on.

You can compare 2 kinds of speakers all day long on this site and get answers all over the place...as there are way to many variables to deal with.

Have you researched to see if there is a dealer nearby that you can go and listen to the speakers ?

right, if I had the option to listen at a dealer I would, since you are studying my posts you should know this is not an option. Tricon, your response was exactly what I was looking for, someone who has owned them both.
