    You trying to get me into trouble William?:p

    I think ML appeals to a different market sector than those who shop at a big box retailer.

    Martin Logan's have been available at Best Buy (Magnolia) for years. Seems like they are just trying to expand availability. With all the independent shops going under, what other choice do they have?

    Many places carry the entry level ML's. I didn't see the TOL Vantage, Spire, Summit X or CLX available so those lines are still "reserved" for certain dealers.

    Interesting for sure...and actually those prices are quite good for up here.

    Be fun to go audition them with the average electronics that they sell to see how they pan out.

    I wouldn't even entertain that idea. A freaking Denon/Pio/Onkyo AVR drives the Vantage, say what, Gayle Sanders ?

    great news. FS offers excellent deal(regular US price) when things on sale (everything will be)

    dynamo 500/700 seems tempting. was looking for a good sub to replace my polk psw10 int he future.

    just wondering hows dynamo 500/700 compare to DSW500/600, in terms of musicality (I was less concern about HT).


    hows martin logan vista compare to Polk LSI and Paradigm Studio anyway?
