A great day for my HOME audio system

Before I tell you about what happened I want to first share a story with you that happened to me a year ago.

Well today I headed over to a bigger best buy than the one near me for some Christmas shopping. After picking up a few things I decided to head over to the magnolia HT section. Their was no one in sight except a guy that worked their named Patrick. After talking to him about my setup and my future ideas I asked him to show me some nice speakers. That is when he took me into the demo room very well setup and organized. Their I laid my eyes on a set of Martin Logon Vantage speakers and the matching center and sub. I asked him what was driving them, he told me a higher end yamaha receiver but could not tell me how many watts. After selecting a music cd from the collection I sat down for a demo.

After figuring out which input to select the demo was started. I played guns and roses and could not believe what I was hearing. CRYSTALS CLEAR SOUND! It almost brought tears to my eyes the speakers had a wide stage and very solid but not crazy bass. The next thing I noticed was the high's. They where not annoying nor where they bright. Very smooth even at higher volumes. I was absolutely astounded by these speakers. I mean I had my jaw open about 20 seconds into the song.

I think I am going to start saving up for a set of them as the price tag is almost three grand a speaker. But you know what I think it would be worth every...............single............penny.

All and all I think they are fantastic speakers and will be heading back there next weekend with some of my own cd's for another demo. If any of you are wondering where I went it was the best buy in Concord Pike in Wilmington Delaware.

That was a year ago maybe more.

About two weeks ago I set eyes on a set of ML speakers on ebay. No bidders and 3 days left. I said ok max bid 850 do not put it in until 15 seconds left. Last day one bidder other than me. At 15 seconds I threw my bid in. 3...2...1 I WIN. I was so speechless. I had just won a set of ML for nearly 70% off. Of corse they are the older models but still as great as the new ones.

Today I picked them up they do need some TLC but I have been playing them for over 2 hours now and I am speechless. This is what music should sound like this is what music does to me and my gosh its amazing.

My neighbors went away and i am dog sitting so I am using there setup for now and its great. Will clean them this weekend and put them in my setup.

Here are pictures.

They may not be the newest model but my god this is sure close. Oh and wining bid was 656 Total

Nice Martin Logans!!!! I was going to get a ML system for my parents home theater but they require a lot of space well atleast the big boys do. You will definitely be happy with the Lil Logans! Props bro!!!

656 > 6000

You've created a new math Matt. Nice pickup. I'm gonna guess you're glad you waited.

Anatoray · 09-25-2010, 12:41 PM

Nice. I have a pair of martin logans myself; a pair of Quests. Huge lumbering behemoths lol.

What are you going to use to power them?

bigaudiofanat · 09-25-2010, 03:05 PM

I am going to use a external amp a cs 500 amp wich is a five channel but better than what my elite is putting out. Going to.give them a shower tonight.
