7. Comments about my Martin Logan experience:
I’ve been a fan of Martin Logan speakers since the initial purchase in 2005. Prior to that, I owned conventional speakers (Advent & Yamaha) and wasn’t aware of electrostats. I’ve come to love the ML’s amazingly pure and transparent sound. In 2007, I upgraded my front mains from the Aeon i to the Summit. My wife occasionally complains that I spend too much time in the HT/Music room! It’s easy to lose track of time when I’m enjoying the music and/or HT experience the ML’s allows.

Just a few more pics. The oldest piece, QL-F6 turntable, (I purchased new in 1977 and still going strong) and the newest, Wadia 170i, (purchased in 2010). A mixture of old and new.

Thanks George! Yes, the acoustic treatements raise the listening experience to another level. But then again, checking out your system (great btw), you know that already!
