New member Username: StevekaPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | Anyone out there have either the Passage or Ticket inwalls from Martin Logan...I am considering a setup of the Passage for L/R and Tickets for center and rear surrounds. They would be running off Yamaha RXV2600 receiver and paired with Martin Logan Dynamo sub. I have listed to Tickets at local shop, but not Passages...looking for thoughts from anyone that has these. |

This is not to say that the ticket is a bad speaker, far from it. It just lacks the planar tweeter of the passage. Going from planar-dome-planar across the front state is not something I would reccomend. You can argue this fact by saying that the Cinema center uses dome tweeters, but there are many who believe that doing away with the tweeter in the cinema would leave a more cohesive sound field. The passages are, IMHO, a much better speaker than the ticket. It isn't just for the planar tweeter, but the bigger woofers as well. They can handle more power, and produce a bigger sound. Not to mention that the bass response goes lower, making them better if you like listening to music on your system, as a subwoofer could become optional in 2 chanel playback. |

Right now I am looking at possibly purchasing a second hand pair of Wilson Audio Cubs. I am debating on if I want to take the plunge, being a college student. My maggies serve me well enough right now. |

New member Username: StevekaPost Number: 2 Registered: May-06 | Thanks Gavin..I actually talked to someone at Martin Logan and they recommended going with 3 Passages and 2 Tickets instead of other way around. |

Gold Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 1161 Registered: Feb-05 | yes. That will be a good setup. ML makes some of the best in-walls that I have heard as of late. Can you put speakers ON the wall as opposed to in the wall? |

Gold Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 1166 Registered: Feb-05 | Steve, the reason why I am asking is because you can get an electrostatic speaker from ML that mounts on the wall, called the script i, which IMHO will gvie a more cohesive and smooth sound than the ATFs in the in walls. This may be a moot point for you though, because some prefer the sound of the ATF drivers. |
