Tom, it 'depends' , lots of discussion on here regarding that. Do a search

I'm not gonna say you're an idiot but no way will that room ever be optimized for those speakers. You can treat it till the cows come home and it will still be a compromise ! Good luck !

I used to deal with Jim McShane back in the day but I think he has retired. I've also dealt with these folks over the years with no problems ........... https://tubedepot.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN6wBhCcARIsAKZvD5jPTqC3w4sAfEp6q27cEa9zT0IfapNZbQ_mZqg8JUesm3XyE8vJeYEaAoYGEALw_wcB

Fond memories from back in the day (18 years ago) when we had a nice gathering out in Lawrence and toured the Logan facility, all of us getting nice gifts including well made polo shirts. I still have and wear mine to this day !

welcome to the fold from another 70 year 'young' as well !

Robert, for any planar, di-pole speaker, including ML stats, sufficient 'space' is paramount to optimal sound. For all my years of owning such speakers I NEVER heard a pair sound their best without at least 4-6' to 'breath' behind them.

Another of the 'Planar Pioneers' has passed, I was happy to have owned several pairs of his speakers. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/jim-winey-1934-2024/

Welcome to the fold Koen ! I'm 70 years old, live in the US, 'work' is a dirty four letter word(I'm retired) and I listen to music whenever I want ....... ;)

there is a rather interesting discussion going on over there at Audioholics on the vary review. Seems a forum member or two are getting riled up over the design specs. Worth a 'look and a laugh' !

less than 50% of original msrp

next to widely varying humidity / temp an overly dusty environment is a no-no as well. IMO, if these two conditions can't be kept under control time to move on to some other speaker .........

Thanks for the 'heads up', but will say and in all honesty, anyone that would fall for that probably deserves to be scammed !

Nice review / write up over on Audioholics ........ https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/martinlogan-xt-f100/#toc-h2-4

I had a good laugh at the cyber truck video drag racing the 911. Apples to Oranges IMO. Yes EV's are quick, we all know that, but a Porsche 911 wasn't built for the 1/4 mile. Id love to see how that ugly assed 'Muskmobile' does against the 911 around the Nurburgring !

hoping for the least expensive outcome !
