Hello fellow ML owners,
I've read two very different schools of thought on going tube vs. solid state for Martin Logan speakers. One of the more convincing arguments for solid state takes the benefit of large capacitors to provide the quick bursts of juice that the panels need. A claimed downside of tube amplifiers is a noticeable rolloff at higher frequencies due to the ML's differing impedance levels across the panel.
I'm VERY curious on the thoughts of the Forum... Are Tubes a no-no for Martin Logan speakers? Or is there just a sufficient amount of tube power that is necessary to appropriately drive MLs?
Thanks in advance!
