Greetings All,
Need some advice/help on my next speaker.
I recently sold my Source SE and now have been deciding on what to get next. The Source were great for awhile but I never fell in love with them like I wanted to. I've been reading "bigger is better" so I'm possibly considering the Vistas, maybe. But, perhaps its my small condo and the arrangement(one tucked in a corner) that's didn't giving my Sources a chance to sing, which can be same issue with my future Vistas if I go that route. Hence, my alternative choice the new Motion 40 towers.
A ML regional rep. was in the showroom, I think his name was Peter;Great guy, suggested these as an alternative to ESLs speaker for easier placement and still have that "Martin Logan" sound I'm familiar with and enjoy.
There seems to be a few New Vistas out there for the $2K price which is the same pricing as the Motion 40 and close to the ElectroMotion ESL (which I should consider too).
So, are the Vistas going to be a nicer sounding, larger sweet spot speaker (because of the larger panel) than my Special Edition Sources in my same condo environment? Will going to the Electromotions be a lateral move from the Sources? OR maybe the easy of placement, new tech of the Motion 40 line be satisfactory? I've heard the Motion 40s and they do sound very nice, but I'm visually biased because they are not ESL.
An after thought concerning room conditions, can high humidity play a roll on the musicality of the ESL panel? I have a live coral reef aquarium in the same room and I can evaporate half gallon to a full gallon of water a day.
I'll stop for now and get some feedback from 'yall.
