odessey and Martin Logan combination
« on: 19 Dec 2010, 09:30 am »
i have just recently ordered a pair of khartago mono extremes, to be used with my Martin Logan Vantage's, i was wondering if anyone here has any logans, and can share how the combination got along? i am just curious to hear any other owners impressions, thanks

The Odyssey amps punch way beyond their weight and would be an excellent match to any speaker, in my opinion.  This is a characteristic of a good amp in that it would make even a mediocre speaker sound good (I would not put the ML in this category!).   I would caution as to the proper preamp, this appears to be a much more significant factor to their optimal performance.  Does your preamp have an output impedance less than 2k ohm?  Both the Tempest and Candela exhibit this characteristic.  The lower the better.  You could exhibit problems with preamps of higher output impedance.  In that case, dump the preamp, the Odyssey amps are hard to beat and would not be the weak link in the chain.

I power my Ascent i's with Odyssey Mono Extremes and Candela.  Love them!  Never feel a lack of power.  Plenty of detail.  Amps are very fast.

btw, Go Bucks!

hello osubucks ... :wink:
I did some small tests with the quest logan martin Z on my EMS ...  :P

and comparison of all classified audio amp AC 201 ...  :roll: :roll:

 the logan offer an immersion sumptuous sound image very nice, but the problem is that one has the impression that the top and bottom  , Garver and medium sharp, do not play together ...  :o :roll: :roll: :oops: :?
anyway, the logan basses not super serious, or hitting ...  :wink:

but it may well be under the spell of the Ring proposed.
anyway, the royal stratos are on logan.  8)
superb musicality, impressive mastery, and held fast ... :o :P

some pictures ... :wink:
