Amazing clarity and stage! Best center speaker at this price! August 1, 2009

If you can buy this for less (at a sale) it will be a big steal!
I upgraded from a Polk CS series center speaker to this a month ago, and what a pleasant surprise it has been! Earlier I couldn't make out several dialogues in movies in Doly ProLogic II c mode (I have a fan in the same, mid size room), and had to raise the volume better than -20db. But this one, even with the fan running, is unbelievably clear at -30db and I can hear sounds that I never heard before.
In terms of specs, Polk was a 125watts 100hz+ speaker while this is also a 125watts but 78hz+ speaker - doesn't look too different on spec but sounds worlds apart!
My equipment list runs - Denon AVR-988, Panasonic DVD, Martin Logan Aeon i front speakers and Grotto subwoofer, with Polk speakers for surround sound.
I have been a Martin Logan fan for years but have tried other brands now and then and keep coming back to Martin Logan.
Apart from a good clarity for movies/dialogues, it sounds sweet with music (obviously being a Martin Logan, it has to be a good audiophile speaker first!), in 5 channel/PLII music/Neo modes.

With a nominal 6 ohm rating, this speaker should work with any receiver (unlike Martin Logan's ESL line that demands high end and high current receivers with a good capacity to drive low impedance speakers), so this will work with any stereo/receiver setup!

Also this speaker is flexible - can be kept under the TV on the TV stand or can be mounted below or above a plasma/LCD TV.

for the last part of my home theater, I added the Vignettes on top of the Fresco stands for my surrounds. They use a different driver with much of the same qualities as the electostat so blended really well. I didn't know there was so much detail going on back there. Nice looking and I like that there is two grills in the box, one black and one grey. With the grey grill, they look nice and sound fantastic. I tried them as a front speaker as well and was surprised at how clear and dynamic they where. The nice final touch to my complete system.
