7. Comments and/or stories about your Martin Logan experience:
To own a pair of ML was a dream I had since quite young. I'm a music addict and I was always looking to get the best system my money could buy.
A bit more than a year ago (it was in March, I guess) I was navigating a site of the store where I already had bought some of the equipment when I faced with the Ascents for a great price. I went there and spoke to the owner, who happens to be a friend and showed him my interest in purchasing them, but I had not enough euros. So, I proposed to give him my other speakers (Infinity RS IIIB) and the rest in cash, which he accepted and in a couple of days, my new babies were in my living room.
Now, I confessed that, as soon as I turned the music on I felt bad, I said to myself that I have made a bad business, altough I had previously listen to them at this store. The sound was very veiled, extra weight on the bass and almost no treble. But then I tought, no, this can't be that bad, so, I left them playing and went to another room...
In the meantime, like, after half an hour later I went back to the living room and I was so happy. The sound was completely different.
Great bass, excellent open and detailed midrange and treble... This is it, I said.
Later I found out that the previous owner had them in his room, at the bottom of the bed and almost didn't play music. So they came to me almost new...
And they have been giving me, along with the rest of the equipment, many, many pleasures...
