Nice score! Congratulations. I've not closed the door completely on MLs.

Mahler, Symphony #1

Hi Spike: Aha! More good info. Thanks. I tried to go to the audition with no expectations, and I think I was successful. The Aeons would likely sound different, one way or the other, in my listening room, with my gear, etc., but this is not a logistical possibility. I have not closed the...

A decision reached. Not what I anticipated.... I was able to spend considerable time yesterday auditioning Aeon i's as well as a pair of Vistas. Each set of speakers was powered by excellent tube gear. The speakers looked and sounded gorgeous- I actually preferred the Aeons because the...

Aerius i vs Aeon i These are available locally. Asking price for Aerius is $600, and for the Aeon's $1100- Your thoughts? Both are supposedly in fine condition, except for the obvious age of the Aerius. I don't want to be- pardon the cliche'- "penny wise and pound foolish. Replacement panels...

Stuwee and Raflar: Thanks so much- every time I visit this site, I learn something (s) new. Greatly appreciated! One of my obvious concerns is having to replace the 'stat panels on such "vintage" speakers as the SL3 or Aerius. I am scheduled to audition the Aeon i this week, likely tomorrow...

Hi Spike: Having made a number of decisions based on "nostalgia" - which I understand quite clearly- for example, I tend to prefer older cars. However, at this point in my life, I'm inclined to yield to "common sense" - if there indeed is such a thing. SO: this week I will be auditioning the...

Your thoughts on these: Aeon i, Clarity, Aerius i, SL3 These are on Craigslist and all priced within my budget. Since the Aeon i and the Clarity are the newest, I'm especially interested in those. I'd greatly appreciate your perspectives. Again, my listening room is small- 11x13 and I tend...

Thank you for your suggestion- I have indeed considered selling the mono amps- but never the Luminescence- and decided against it. All my MFA gear has been significantly upgraded by one of the original designers, about 5 years ago. It's simply "too good" to part with. :)

Thanks, M15. I do like Magnepan but am fascinated by Logans! If I eventually go w/ Maggies, it would be .7 due to room size.

After considerable thought and a few yoga classes, I've decided to be as patient as possible. :) Which means waiting calmly for the proper pair of previously-owned ML's to come along. Meanwhile, thankfully, my current speakers provide me with great enjoyment. I like the idea of being able to...

Thank you, Spike. I see that your speakers are Request. There is a pair for sale locally for about a grand, by the original owners- I'm wondering if this would be something to look into given the size of those speakers and my rather modest listening room. Fortunately, as I've gotten older, I...

Gentlemen: Thank you so much for your responses. Kicking myself as I type this but I had a great opportunity to purchase a pair of Vantage about a year ago, for an excellent price, and I did not jump on them fast enough. Sigh.... Eventually, instead, I picked up an inexpensive pair of MMGs...

I'm hoping you guys can give me some guidance with my quest (no pun). This topic has no doubt been discussed often, but even after extensive research, I'm still a bit confused. I've been doing a lot of online research as I try to decide what would be the most prudent path for me to acquiring a...

Thanks very much. I especially liked the Ethos. As I mentioned in my initial post, my budget is limited. I check Craigslist, Audiogon, eBay, etc. regularly for previously owned Logan 'stats which would be good buys. But the rather significant fact that the Magnepan .7's, new, are well...

I've always been fascinated with ML Electrostatics ever since I first heard the CLS's a long time ago- but have never owned a pair. My speakers now are a pair of fine Italian monitors and Magnepan MMGs. I am seriously considering purchasing Logans but first want to learn as much as possible...
