RE: Marten Speakers

Hey those panels already have their own forums. So they have plenty of fan boys. And hey $15k for speakers and you don't even get a box or expensive drivers. I think they did okay. I enjoyed my direct comparisons with the 20s against the 1/3 the price AN E/LX. Unfortunately the retro 70s box isn't cool looking like a panel or a conversation piece when guests come over so you can talk about the uncommon design of speakers without dynamic drivers. I just wish the sound lived up to the conversation and coolness appeal that Ribbon planars muster.
At least ML knew they needed a dynamic woofer to sound any good. Any their current hybrids are vastly better than they used to be! And not ridiculously prices. I awarded one of them as a top five room along with King Sound ESL a few shows back. I think you will like the current MLs more than Magnepan. Same or less money too.
