That said, I threw in some Norah Jones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Master and Commander DTS disk, and I was floored. Clearer, richer then the Clarity's were, for I believe less money. I DO think that the design took a step back; the Clarity's were gorgeous. These look like they belong 20 years in the future. Not sure how I feel about that.

Other then classical, I was EXTREMELY impressed with the new Source's. By all means an upgrade over the Clarity's, and well worth the money. I'd love to hear the Purity's, which are the Source's with a built-in amp. I wonder how they compare with a high-end receiver, or even separates. After hearing the Summit's on a Krell amp/pre-pro/CD-player, I now realize the importance of good amplification. I wonder if the Purity's will give enough.]]>Sep 18th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/Sep 18th 2007 7:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/Sep 18th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/Sep 18th 2007 6:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/
I find the fill in from the woofer to be very tinny and not even close to clean. Unfortunatley, I was only able to hear them at a Best buy, so Im sure it was hooked up to some "craplifier" from Denon or Onkyo.

If you dont have 5G's to drop on the Vantages, get the Vistas at around 3.5G. If you cant afford that, deal with it, and get another brand!]]>Sep 19th 2007 10:21AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/Oct 23rd 2007 6:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/18/martinlogan-s-new-source-speakers/Oct 24th 2007 11:04AM
