7. Comments and/or stories about your Martin Logan experience:

I was first introduced to ML sometime in the early 90s, still in college. I had a basic system consisting of Carver CD Player, Carver Receiver, and a small Infinity Infinitesimal bookshelf speakers (hey, I was still in college ). I went down to Magnolia Hifi in Spokane one day, just visiting and not planning on getting anything. I was asked if I wanted to hear a Denon Receiver at price more than double my Carver. It was connected to ML Aerius. I was amazed how a speaker could sound like that and instantly hooked. But, the price was obviously out of the budget so I could only dream that one day I would own a pair of ML.

Fast forward to 2012, finally able to convert a semi-basement room in my house into a home entertainment room. It houses a 2 channel, 5.1 system, and a small Karaoke system in the room for the wife and kids. Not ideal but works much better than the apartment room in college

Welcome aboard, Danny.

Thanks Tom! I have been reading the forum for a while even before having the system. Very nice to have a forum like this. Not sure if owners of other brands have something like this. I'm sure Martin Logan owners are grateful to you!

Thanks!
Danny
