I have had many sets of speakers actually. I currently have Thiel CS3.6's which are great speakers, but after rearranging my living room to keep my toddler safe they just don't sound as good as they did disappointingly. My wife also wants something more attractive and for whatever reason likes...
Interesting about the newer ones being taller, that's not something I want and my wife is pretty picky ever since I plopped a pair of carver amazings in my livingroom when she wasn't home! haha
I haven't ever owned martin logans but am very tempted by the chance to buy new vistas for 2k. I tried the local logan dealer but they don't have anything on display.
Thanks for letting me poke around guys, I learned a lot in a short time about these speakers!!
