Looking for Logans

[jaycee]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Martin Logan Club and, at the moment, feel that I am here under false pretences as I don't actually own any Martin Logan products but actually that IS why I am posting here.
I live in the UK and have been looking to get myself a set of Martin Logans' but they are soooo expensive here. Also I thought that if I joined the forum I would get the best advice available.
I am looking to get a set of used speakers and I think the SL3 is about the largest that I can consider (make that the largest the wife will consider) so does any member have a pair of Martin Logan speakers that would fit the bill that they are looking to sell.
My budget unfortunately is not very high so max at £1000 ($2000)

I don't know if there would be a specific problem for any of the US members to ship ML's to the UK but I would be willing to pay the shipping (gulp!)

Any advice on what model I should be looking at given size and budget restrictions will be gratefully accepted.

There was an exchange of posts here recently, where someone in the UK wanted to buy SL3s, and found a pair at a good price ($1300, if I remember correctly), but the cost of shipping was prohibitive, and the buyer decided to not proceed. Check the classifieds threads.

BTW, welcome to the club.

Incidentally, rich33, a post in all caps constitutes shouting.

That exchange about the SL3s was actually between jaycee and I. I probably overestimated the size of the SL3 boxes my a few inches, which could have had a significant impact on the shipping cost. For future reference, they're 20" x 20" x 69" (not 24x24x72 as I had estimated).

My SL3s are sold. Found a local buyer who came and picked them up last weekend.

This is the spec's -The Aeons have a reported frequency response of 43 Hz – 22,000 kHz, a sensitivity rating of 89 dB and a four-ohm impedance rating. The Aeons stand 57 inches tall, 15.5 inches deep, 10.25 wide and weigh 56 pounds each. They’re not small speakers by most standards, but they’re a far cry from the MartinLogan Statement E2s, MartinLogan’s flagship speaker, which weighs in at a trim 1,800 pounds. The Aeons came to me with standard black rail trim, with the rest of the speaker finished in MartinLogan’s standard black matte. MartinLogan offers 15 different trim options, enabling you to integrate the loudspeakers into a wide variety of decors, some included as standard and some as upgrades for an additional cost. The MartinLogan Aeons retail for $2,995 per pair. Overall, I found the fit and finish of this loudspeaker to be of acceptable quality in this price range.

So like i said hit me up if this is something that mite fit what you want.
