7. Comments and/or stories about your Martin Logan experience: My plans were to put the Spires in moms room and give the Aeon I's to my dad. Since mom lost her hearing plans have no changed. I also was going to replace my Vistas with the summit X's in my front room and install the other 2 script i's for 7.1. I am still considering this move.
then the second set of Summit X's were going in my bedroom, ok I cant sleep without music..lol Those Aeon'I were going to a friend for his undying friendship during my struggles with my health and my moms. I was going to replace the S300 intgrated Bel canto with Ref 1000 Mk2 Mono blocks in the bedroom feed by Bel canto Cd-2 which works like a pre also, you can adjust volume with that player. Still deciding what to do at this point. I have gone thru so much audio gear in the last year. Pioneer elite receiver, another Denon 3808ci, nad t175 pre-amp, Nad M25 Amp, Krell Tas Amp, Nad M5 Sacd player.

I was just trying to find what I like, what pleases my ears and not my Neighbors...

All My Martin logan stuff was bought from Authorized Dealers, except the following: One set of script I's the ones I am using bought used on the Gon and both sets of Aeon I's bought used from Original owner.
