Let me clarify this clearly, I mean no offense to anyone's gears, I'm just speaking in my honest opinion only. I am NOT looking to replace my current Odyssey speakers. Recently a friend in the East Coast keeps telling me how good his Martin Logan SummitX sounds matching with the Odyssey Kismet Monoblocks & Candela. I have listened to a few pairs of Martin Logan but at the time I think they are a great sounding speakers for Home Theater. I did hear of the ML with Krell amps, I think it sounds just ordinary, nothing that pulls me into the music. Basically what I was hearing is just clear, clean & bright or should say fatigue. With the most recent Newport Show back in June 2018 this year, I walked into the room with the Martin Logan setup & forgot what gears they have & the sound again was no difference than what I heard in the past. Everyone has different ears. Then I also heard the setup with the Fxxkentosh gears at local Best Buy store, oh well I went to Best Buy to shop for a TV not to buy speakers & amps. On the Odyssey circle where I've read many people using Maggie with Odyssey gears & the results are just amazing. I'm interested in audition the Maggie 3.7i or maybe a lower model with Odyssey gears in particular in Southern Califnornia areas.
Even though many times I had said to myself I go after the sound and not the look of the gears, but honestly I'm a greedy guy, I do care for the look & the sound at the same time. If I were to choose between the ML & Maggie, without a doubt, I like to have Maggie. I like that look better...
Is anyone here in Southern California got the ML & Maggie with Odyssey? I would like to have an audition.
