    Martin Logan vs. Other Speakers

    I have now owned my ML Montis speakers for almost five years. I spent dozens and dozens of hours optimizing the location of the speakers and then lots more hours making home-made acoustic treatments to improve the sound in my room. I totally love the experience in my room. I tend to listen to...

    NEW SITE - HOPING TO SEE MORE ACTIVITY

    I have been a fan of this site for years, and I love my ML Montis speakers. When they are properly set up, in a treated room I will take them against any speaker that costs anywhere close to what I paid for mine. I am hoping that more people return to this site and that more new people find the...

    McIntosh MC275 vs. McIntosh 6700 - powering ML Montis

    Other ML Owners, I currently have a pair of ML Montis speakers and I power them with a McIntosh 6700 solid state, integrated amp. I am considering purchasing a McIntosh MC275 tube amp. I would continue (at least for now) to use my 6700 as a pre-amp, with power then coming from the new MC275...

    We all have our favorite "go-to" albums and CD's that we think sound best, but I would like to know - are there some very particular songs, tracks, or CD's that show off a Martin Logan's ability to present a sound stage? I have done much in my room to optimize this characteristic of the ML's...

    What Single Song Shows Off Your ML's The Very Best???

    I'm guessing this thread exists somewhere on this forum, but I cannot find it..... If you are having a friend over who has never heard beautiful 2 channel music on a great setup with ML speakers - what is the very best piece of music to be played that will show off the system?

    Summit X vs. Montis - Based on Room Size

    I am getting closer to pulling the trigger on a speaker upgrade. I currently have a 5 year old set of ML Source for my main front speakers and I have loved them. I am now ready to upgrade. I have sampled tons of speakers and have decided to proceed with ML's. My listening room is 13' wide...

    New Member - Carlsbad, California, USA

    I'm a new member and live in Southern California. I am currently recovering from a back injury so I have lots and lots of time (too much) to enjoy my system and to study all the posts and threads on this site. It has been incredibly helpful to me as I upgrade my system. I love my ML...

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    I have read much on this site about the importance of acoustic treatments of a room and how one can often make considerable improvements by making some simple changes. I currently have ML Source electrostatics (and I am soon upgrading to a pair of Montis for my room). I have spent hours...

    Newbie Question

    I am finally at a point in my life where I can afford the things that I only drooled over earlier in my life. (When I graduated from college I still remember going in to a high end audio store and hearing some ML speakers, matched up with MacIntosh tube amps - this left a lasting impression on...
