Check this post of mine: http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5083 You will be far better served with the XA than the X. The differences are astounding.

The cabinet of the Vantage is taller than the one in the video. Notice how the part that joins the panel is roughly square.

The enclosure looks smaller than the Vantage's, more like the Summit's.

I didn't try the CLX. Aside from the comparison of the Analysis Audio house sound with that of ML, which very early on made me prefer the former (there was no CLX at the time yet, and there are a number of discussions here in this forum about that comparison), there are some additional factors...

Thanks, I'm still waiting for some bass traps to be delivered. Because the Amphitryons are full-range, there's a lot of bass being emitted to the back and that has shown how limited my current acoustic treatment is. As for the sound, there's a certain "authority" to it, a uniformity across the...

Updated system pic, sans ML This is how my system looks like now, after replacing the Vantages with the Amphitryons. The trusty Logos and Esoteric maintain their roles: Another full view, now from the right side: And a closer full view from the left side: Finally, this one shows...

ML Vantages on the way out... I'm getting a pair of Analysis Audio Amphitryons this Sunday (a good way to start the year, I agree ;)). I am therefore putting my trusty ML Vantages for sale (strangely that leaves me nostalgic, must be all the good memories) and with them gone, I will no longer...

No problems whatsoever. Music is louder coming through the XLR inputs, but that is a normal occurrence.

Has anyone tried ML with Pathos Inpol2 or Twin Towers, especially Vista, Vantage, Spire or Summit? Inquiring minds are eager to know... especially since both the Inpol2 and the Twin Towers output about 60-70 W into 4 ohms, and the MLs have those difficult loads at 8 kHz and higher. Personally...

Repeated listening might help, indeed. However, if you want the strength and direction of Beethoven, why not listen to Beethoven then? Alkan is as far away from Beethoven as Liszt or Chopin are.

They are the plain Mapleshade stands. Yes, I did, but the X-03 is in a different league than the SA-60. All that matters is the sound... (and I would only upgrade to the X-01 D2 or the P-03/D-03 combo). I suggest you compare the X-05 with the X-03 just to confirm whether you really like it...

Yes. My system took a few months to settle down and it never sounded good until I upgraded the CDP to the Esoteric (8 months after getting the speakers and amp) and the cables (3 months after getting the Esoteric). Given the timings of those upgrades and the required break-in for the individual...

Of course, except when other key components are in the process of being replaced and then all bets are off. The most you can do is an educated guess through exposure to the equipment and at some point take the plunge. And the education level of my guesses at this point unquestionably favor...
