Hello, I have been using Vistas as Surrounds for 5 years and have really enjoyed them. I think they are a much better value than the EM-ESL's as the Vista retailed for over twice as much, uses an Aluminum Woofer, has a larger panel, and with the exception of the cabinet is made in America...

Hello, As a Stage owner, I am kind of interested to audition the Stage X to hear how the Folded Motion transducer works with the ESL Panel as opposed to the Soft Dome Tweeters that have been used with every ML CC with the exception of the Logos. Cheers, JJ

Hello, I have had my Vantages for almost 5 years and have primarily used an Aragon 8008bb. This has been a great combination and the 8008bb is a great buy on the Used Market if you can find one. They tend to sell as soon as they are listed on Audiogon. I have also used a Parasound HCA-3500...

Hello, As for Surrounds, something like the Aerius or Aeon would do quite nicely. I cannot tell you how much better I have found having ESL Surrounds. I am using Vantages, Stage, Vista, Descent i, and Depth in my HT and it is amazing. For a short time, I was using Martin Logan Montages which...

Hello, I prefer the Descent i and even the Depth i to the JL Subwoofers when using with MartinLogan Electrostats. There is something to be said for the I think 7 Years that Gayle Sanders and the ML Engineers spent Designing the first Descent to be optimized for ESL's. Cheers. JJ

Hello, I have been utterly blown away with XT32/SubEQ HT. I have been using MultEQ XT for the past 4 years until July when I got a Processor with XT32 and I was utterly astonished at just how much of a difference there was. As I am using a Descent i and a Depth Subwoofer, I really think...

Hello, That seems like an idiotic statement. The Stage and the ESL's both use the Xstat Panel and I absolutely love my Stage. I am assuming you are using the Electrostatic Model of the Electromotion Series. If not, I do understand why he might say that. Granted, most do not spend $1000...

Hello, Shipping may well could have been behind the OP's issues. That being said, with the EM-ESL costing less than half as much as the Vista, it would not be altogether surprising if the QC is not quite as stringent. Still, like the Vista, the Cabinet is made in ROC with the Panel and Final...

I could not agree more. They are leveraging on the Brand Equity of Martin Logan by releasing all of these non ESL Models. I actually think there should be an ESL Subforum and Non ESL Subforum as opposed to one main Discussion Forum. Fact is, owning ML's is a very broad description at this...

That is just it. The Martin Logan name is also on a 5.1 Speaker Package that sells for $320 Dollars at places like Newegg. That is close to the price for the Custom Covers they used to sell for Sanders era Martin Logans and certainly not for 5 Speakers and a Subwoofer. Sadly, the MLT-2 has...

Hello, Indeed. The Dynamo is literally 1/7th the price of the Descent i. I would Return them and purchase a HSU Research VTF-2 MKIII for $509 provided they are still On Sale. It will utterly trounce the 500. Cheers, JJ

Hello, I personally never recommend any ML Subwoofer below the Grotto as the Dynamo just does not come close to offering the performance of the Internet Direct Brands like SVS, HSU, eD, Epik, et al. However, the Grotto, Depth and Descent and truly fantastic Subwoofers and were the culminations...

Truly stunning. Must bring a smile to your face every time you come home. And needless to say, it must sound wonderful. Cheers, JJ

Hello, I think you would be better off with the SC-35 that Costco is blowing out for $749. It retails for 1600 and it shares the same B&O ICE Power Module and Power Supply as the SC-37. As the 37 output well in excess of 100 Watts into 5/7 Channels it is a known quantity. The 55/57 have...

Amen to that.
