Back in time, in the 1998 era of audio I owned a pair of Aerius i. I drove them
with a Classe Audio CA-100/model 30 Preamp/Sony X7ES CD Player. I liked
the sparkle in the highs but some how the vocals sounded off. Bass too. Maybe
my setup or equipment. Who knows. I eventually sold them to try other speakers out.
I only listen to classic rock. The Eagles, Journey, Tom Petty, Don Henley, Boston,
Fleetwood Mac. Most are recorded hot and harsh needing a warm sounding
speaker to balance out the sharpness of the upper mids and lower highs.
I have a 13' x 14' room with the 14' right side extending 25 feet for the open dining and
kitchen. The speakers are on the 14' wall and I sit 9 feet back. Plank floors, no carpet,
leather furniture. Nothing to make the room acoustics sound warm. 9 foot ceilings.
I am buying used and looking for suggestions of what 3 models were the warmest
sounding Martin Logan models. (electrostat & woofer) I read this forum for the last
few days and read that the older models were warmer sounding. I am looking for
warmest first, convincing midrange second, decent bass third, and is the right size
for my room. I don't listen very loud since I live in a condo. I am thinking SL3
looks like the right size but I need the experienced people who heard them all to
tell me what they think. I prefer warm/organic and I avoid clinical/analytical/cold.
What are the 3 warmest electrostat & woofer models? I'd like to spend $1000 to
$3000 on the used market but I don't really have a budget in mind. Thanks for
sharing your knowledge with an old timer.
