In Reply to: Martin Logan or M&K for HT? posted by Ed T on January 14, 2000 at 22:14:18:
Hi EdI cannot speak very intelligently in answer to some of your queries but I suspect your problems of poor speech intelligability does lot lie with you MLs. We have similar electrostatic units which double for music & HT. Your praise of the MLs for music but condemnation for HT suggest to me that your HT amplification/set up is deficient. I'm not criticising what you have as I am unfamiliar with it but pass the generalisation that HT gear is usually rather inferior to music electronics. Be prepared to dig in the pocket if you want the one room to do both. We are in exactly the same position as you - the one music/HT room & I feel that the dollars spent on top audio sound have paid dividends in top HT sound.
Hope this is of some help
Peace at AA

Hi John,
Thanks for your response.
I should probably clarify my dialogue "problem"...Two things come to mind:
First, on some source material there is no problem, on others the voices are not that great. I think this points to what most say about ML's; that they are very revealing of less than optimal recordings,(I find this with music as well..).
Second, Typically what happens in those situations is that I turn up the volume to hear the dialogue, only to be blown out of my seat when a louder event occurs on screen, (not a bomb...just anything louder...).
All in all I was wondering if for HT, which is what this system is primarily used for, if it was worth the extra 5K or so to flesh it out with ML's, additional power, etc.
Be Well,
Ed
