Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Marten Speakers

the only way you can really understand and know a speaker is by living with that speaker in your system for a couple of weeks.

I have LS50, SCM7v3 and P3ESR in rotation in my system. ive had the P3 for 6 months, the ATC for 4 months and just recently bought the LS50. so far, i prefer the ATC and Harbeth, but I know better to not trust my first impressions and know that I need to get used to the LS50 for a couple of months before making sure which is my preferred speaker.

theres no way I could be confident in making a final decision between the 3 speakers at a dealer or show.

Listening to show or dealer tells you nothing worthy for obvious reasons when it comes to very good speakers. of course, at a dealer, if you listen to 5 speakers and one is obviously bad, this can give you a idea. but when comparing 2 excellent speakers, its really by living with the 2 speakers and spending weeks with those 2 that you will begin to notice which Speaker draws you more into your music, ect.
