Summary:
bought these aerius i speakers used . not sure what year they are . running them through sunfire 300w x 2 channel amp and sunfire tube pre amp , gray power conditioner that the preamp and marantz cd player plug into : amp goes directly into wall at the same outlet as the conditioner . . xlr interconnects and stage wire with z connectors . sunfire has seperate current and voltage outputs for each speaker . i have these speakers bi wired , with the voltage output to the to the cone and the current output to the membrane . i have a paradigm 12 inch independently powered sub connected via speaker level input , directly to the lower posts on the logans .

very very touchy regarding positioning . once you find the right spot youre in for a treat .

you would be surprised how good this system sounds . this is my first pair of electrostatics , and i was worried about the mid range mostly .

these speakers must be run with a sub woofer . you adjust the woofer phase and frequency way down , with the volume just up enough to make a noticeable presence . running the sub from the speakers helps to pick up some additional mid range signature from the music ( or so i was told : i dont see how that would work / it does work really well though. )

this is the music that pounds really well on this set up ..........

no doubt

Summary:
I've always admired ML speakers since a kid, these speakers look as good as they perform. I tend to like brighter speakers, such as the older Infinity products that used Emit tweeters, but the ML's do a great job producing clean sound that is EXTREMELY gentle to the ear. The MLs are very neutral, so neutral that they have a cold and electronic sound to them. I wont say its a bad thing, its just a characteristic of the speaker. After playing around with them, I think the MLs have a very studio monitor-esque sound. I give these speakers 3 stars for value and 4 stars for performance. I think there are a lot of speakers that can meet and/or exceed the performance of these speakers, but nonetheless -- the ML's are top performers and overall, excellent speakers.

Strengths:
- Aesthetically pleasing - VERY pure sound - Extremely detailed - Wide soundstate, very room filling - Extremely gentle to the ears, very little ear fatigue.

Weaknesses:
- Very finicky about placement. Careful assessment of the room should be made before purchasing these speakers. Very rewarding when configured properly. - Bass is modest, not powerful. Subwoofer REQUIRED. - Not exactly efficient speakers, a strong amplifier is highly recommended. - Sweet spot is more limited. You sacrifice having a broad listening environment for precision. Its a toss-up.

Summary:
This is a review of the Aeons.Since these are the closes in size I will put it here.Well the aeons midrange is magical.The soundstage was vivid and I felt as thou I was on stage at the venue.The clinging of the glasses as the waiters served people in the audience was amazing!The amp used was a Adcom 5802 and a Sony cd player as the source ,can't remeber the model number.The bass was decent...If I had any complaints,this is where I wasn't satisfied.Some people say that sealed enclosures are better.Well not to my ears it seems to sound muffled and congested.Calling attention to itself everytime the music called for some bass.The integration of the driver and the panels were a little annoying,but maybe with some experimentation I could live with them.I will admit, they beat the pants off the Maggies that were setup in the same room!I have grown used to the box speakers better integration and bass performance.I guess there's no free lunch .No speaker is perfect and to get more of one thing you will have to give up another!All in all I loved the speaker for it's strengths.Now I need to find some Innersounds with TL designed enclosures .Which yields better integration but a much smaller sweet spot...Oh Well here we go again!

Strengths:
Midrange ,Midrange and more Midrange, Soundstage deep and open

Weaknesses:
Bass performance ;lacking in integration and openess in the lower freqs

Summary:
First let me say that these speakers are not for everyone due to the need to be placed at least three feet away from the back and side walls to sound their best and the need for good amplification/source components. They also have very limited low frequency response and should be augmented with a "good" subwoofer. With proper placement (lots of trial and error with toe in and distance from wall boundaries) I've got them to sound better than most any other speaker I have ever heard close to their price range(including some $5000+ speakers). They really exel at reproducing a holographic presentation in front of the listener. I've had fun having friends listen to my system for the first time and seeing their jaws drop, wondering how two speakers can just disappear, leaving the performers playing in the room with you. I now have a complete Martin Logan surround system and the sound is unbelievable. Even my wife comments on how "real" it sounds. I highly recommend these speakers and believe most listeners will like them if heard properly set-up with good amplification/source equipment. My system: Martin Logan Aerius Martin Logan Cinema center channel Martin Logan Script surrounds Audio Research LS3 preamplifier McCormack DNA .05 amplifier(modified RevB) CAL ICON II cd player(powerboss mod) Linn Axis turntable & Goldring cartridge Lehhman Black Cube phono preamp Paradigm Servo 15 subwoofer Denon 3200 receiver for processor and to drive center and rear channels(works suprisingly well)

Strengths:
Holographic Imaging, Lifelike sound

Weaknesses:
Weak bass, Limited placement options
