So, i was at my local Magnolia Hi Fi yesterday, and was looking around at what they had.
I did like the Martin logans, very interesting.
However, they had some REL subs that had great loudness, but were kinda boomy. Not only that, but there depth was lacking. When I crank my sub on some songs from Bass Ecstasy, I dont have much problems with it. But the RELs, as well as a Martin Logan sub had difficulty being loud at all with it. The background of the song has a lot of 20Hz tones playing, and when we tried it out, it was all distorted and funny sounding. It was very disappointing. I just hope the SVS doesnt sound like that when I try and get it.
The AVRs were expensive though. 2500 for a 140wpc 7.1 system, Denon.
I wasn't imperssed to say at the most. Alot of the speakers had way too much mid in them, made the voices sound deeper than what they needed to be. Muddled, and not clean is how I would describe most of the songs' appearance. Compared to my speakers at least. Mine have a cleaner feel to them.
