I would suggest getting as much power as possible. Most Martin Logan owners that I know run Krell or something with a low distortion. Logans are capable of producing such clear mids and highs why not get something that shows that off a little.

I think I have an ATI 1505 worked out already with a guy... waiting to hear back from him, but did make a commitment with a condition. This unit is still under transferable warranty. It does 250wpc at 4ohm, so the Ascent i's should fair well with it.

Congrats! I guess this means no Klipsch?

Thanks! ... and that is correct... no room for Klipsch. I wanted to go Klipsch, but I just couldn't seem to nail down a really good deal on them, although at full retail they are probably still a good deal. I've been keeping my eye on Audiogon for a deal on some ML's for a while now and the opportunity just happened at the right time. I've always wanted ML's... I'm definitely feeling lucky.

Congratulations on the speakers!

When they arrive I would love to hear about how they sound.

Are you crossing them over at 80hz to help minimize impedance concerns with your receiver?

Thanks again! No doubt I'll give a user review after a few days with the setup.

Crossover will be at 80Hz even with the amp, which I'm already pretty much sold on getting, just to make sure there are no issues with proper power to the ML's.


I believe I have scored a demo Cinema i at a dealer for the center, as well as a pair Fresco's for the surrounds. Hopefully it will all work out.
