Strength:

Soundstage, value for money.

Weakness:

Nothing I think.

Just heard these speakers at local store. I must say that this is best Martin Logan speaker I have heard. At this price the value for money is great.

The sound is similar as other Logan products. Great transparency and soundstage of course. But what was surprising is the bass. Now it's very fast and kin of different than other Logan speakers. In good room you can get out something great. Now the room wasn't so good that I could say the whole truth.

I would say that these speakers really are musical. The mid range was very detailed. But not agressive. The speaker didn't come on at anytime. That's very positive. Because when the sound is so crisp you are all the time waiting when it comes on. But not this time.
But at a meantime I'll just have to listen my old Quest's. But this speaker really is worth of listen. Let's wait and see what they have done with the old SL3. It should be made similar like the Prodigy.

The listening equipments:

Wadia 860x Cd-player
VAC Renaissance 140 monoblock amps.
Cardas Golden Reference speakercables and interconnects.

Strength:

Most detailed speaker there is. Great for home theatre and music.

Weakness:

Need to choose electronics carefully. Need high quality recordings.

Narrowed the list down to Martin Logan Requests and Dunlavy SC IV/a's before the Prodigy's were available. Auditioned the Requests with Aragon and Sim Audio amps. Listened to the Prodigy's on Krell gear (older KSA-250/300), and the new high end Krell CD/pre-amp. Actually thot the Requests and Sim Audio were better then the Prodigy's w/ Krell. Went back and re-auditioned the Prodigy's with Sim Audio amps, and what a difference. Worth the extra money over the Requests if you can afford it. Rest of configuration is Theta Casa Nova, with Sim Audio W-5 amp (Aerius and W-3 for rear). Just have a Sony 330 DVD and it sounds great. Can't wait to see what it sounds like with a real transport. If you're tight on cash I would seriously consider skimping on the transport and getting the Prodigy's. Great with quality jazz, blues, instramental, movies. If you like poorly recorded rock you may prefer the Dunlavy's (don't highlight the flaws as much)
