    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Picked up my Impression 11a's about a month ago.. Have to say I am very happy with them. In fact at this point, I am going to say that it is the best sound I have had in my room so far... And yes they can do rock!!

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Timm, I have owned Manepan 1.6, 1.7, and 3.6's. I liked them a lot, however somtimes I had issues getting the center image as solid as I would like. The issue I had with them (besides the image) was that they were too physically imposing, i felt they got in the way of me enjoying them. (Just by...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Hello, thanks everyone for your input. I think I will take the plunge and get a pair of impressions. I understand that I can pick up a pair of Montis for around 5k ,but I found someone selling a pair of 11A's for 7k - are 11A's worth the extra 2k? Im looking forward to this cause I really always...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    That may be true, but I'm not giving up �� Maybe this next purchase will be it! I'm slowing down with age - it's been a fun trip though, I've learned a lot along the way!

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Perhaps I am overestimating the DB levels then. I have a pair of tonian labs tld1 speakers that use a 8" fostex driver and they go loud enough except for peaks, then they start to distort a little. If the logans could do better with deeper bass I would be good. I've been in this hobby quite...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    I suppose 100db, 105db peaks. I will be running a music reference rm200 tube amp (going straight through a NAD dac that has volume). I also have 12 SET amp, and an musical fidelity int amp that has 150 watts. I spoke to Roger majeski from music reference and he said his amp would work well. I...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    I've heard Logan's quite a few times and always loved their highly dense soundstage, highly resolving and emensly musical presentation. The Klipsch are musical and jump out at you with their dynamics. But I really find the Logan's very envolvng musically - and I only sit in the sweet spot when...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Thanks to everyone who replied Yes "Welcome to the machine", Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin, even Steely Dan.. I like to get the volume up now and then. What will happen if it's too loud, will it distort? (Break?) I love the sound of Logan's, just never pulled the trigger. Ironically I have a pair of...

    Can Impression 11A or Montis handle Rock well?

    Really thinking about purchasing one or the other (prefer to try 11A) but still saving up. I mostly listen to classic rock and the like and so at times like to crank it up - can they handle the volume? I'm not talking about concert levels but "relatively loud" - should I have concerns? Thanks Mike

    Montis vs Impression

    I am considering purchasing one of these speakers I understand the impression recently came out around 6 months also and the Montis came out few years ago - my question is if you were to purchase one of these used (Montis at $5,500) or (imperession at $6,500) which would you choose and why? I...
