Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 2652 Registered: Dec-04 | Ok, Mike, but Carver is pretty well up there. A pair of MMG's for trials? They are like 6bills. And a REL sub, 1K. |

Gold Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 1154 Registered: Feb-05 | I agree... You can pick up a pair of MartinLogan Mosaics for around $2000. They sound like a maggie with nuts in the bass. They use B-G neo series planar drivers for mids and highs. If you are lucky, you can also score some Aeon i's for around 2000 as they were discontinued. IMHO, I would try to find a dealer with Mosaics. Also, give Russ a call at Just Real Music. He has given me advice when I was in a pinch. He also builds custom electrostatic speakers, with both flat and curved panels. They are priced at roughly half what you would find from MartinLogan. www.justrealmusic.com |
