RE: Marten Speakers

I see you dont answer my questions, have you ever had SCM50 or SCM100 with the new ATC tweeter in your room? have you had the new Martin Logan speakers in your room?
you say:
"So if it doesn't sound particularly good on several occasions in several rooms with several amplifiers then why would you bring the speakers home?"
were talking about good speakers here, so I fail to see your point. with good dynamic speakers, you need to compare directly A-B test using the same capable amp able to drive both speakers, same speaker position and same source for a couple of days at the very least to form a worthy opinion.
you say:
"
I didn't find the KEF all that hard to set-up - follow the directions in the manual and plunk them down and they sounded quite good from the get go. It's not like toe in or pulling them 1 foot closer transforms the speakers from being total crap to the best things in the world - pretty subtle.
"
this is not my experience. just measure your speaker at the listening position. sometime moving the speaker literally a foot make the response go from decent to horrible.

For OP, this user tried many under 20k speakers: AN-E, ATC SCM100, Geithain RL901k, BW 802 d3, Wilson Sasha. he ended up with ATC
