Martin Logan Neolith

[a.wayne]

Having heard the Neolith , they are not thin sounding nor lack deep Bass nor lack depth, if this is what others are hearing, very obviously poor setup structure and BTW , Historically , I never usually like ML speakers, ever , but their new range of speaker products are vastly superior to any before ....



Regards...

I've heard the new Expressions and they sound really pretty darn good. I've not heard the Renaissance yet but want to. I heard the Neolith's at a Magnolia at the Galleria in Houston and really wasn't impressed at all ... I agree with earlier comments that they were very thin and not much depth. They also were struggling to produce deep bass. I'm guessing the room has some issues. I have gotten really good results with my MC601's with my Ethos soon to be one of the newer pair ... but I run a Mark Levinson No326s pre and I like the synergy with that pre much better than the Mac pre's with the ML speakers and the 601's. I did try the new C1100 recently and still liked the Levinson better. Just personal preference for sure!

I have heard the Neoliths three times. With solid-state amps I did not care for the system, but I believe it was not the speakers to which I objected.

When driven by tube amps I do not find the Neolith "thin" at all. A lack of depth and a lack of bass reflects room problems, not a fault of the Neoliths.
