I wish more people post comparisons such as these, rather than talk and preach. The speakers speak for themselves. Great job!

Martin Logan just sounds so rich and full. The sound stage that they produce is truly breath taking.

By far, the best speaker comparison video on youtube. If this channel would have continued like this, it could have been BIG! 10+ hands down!

Incredible, three speakers with completely different sound, but at the same time beautiful, each in their own way. I am stunned. I love them all. PS: the quality of your recording is astounding. Your musical choice too.

This is how comparison videos should be made. Great work much appreciated

Amazing video, thanks for your time and efforts put into creating this seamless comparison. I thought the Martin Logan had the most detail and transparency of the three with enough bass. The Sonus sound was thin and lacked definition to my ears. The Maggies were second best, had lots of air but the bass was thin and the mids were little muffled as others commented. Of course you have to be there in person to really evaluate the speaker sounds. Thanks again and I look forward to your future videos.

I love the big, open sound of the Maggies, especially the non-restrictive lower registers:) I wouldn’t be averse to using a little eq if I felt the need to:)

This is by far the best comparison video I’ve ever seen, and the effort involved to produce the final seamless version must have been considerable.
Draw your own conclusions about which sound you prefer, but for what it’s worth, I’ve used MLs for years, but have changed to Maggies. What this video can’t convey is the height and depth of the soundstage Maggies produce. Also, MLs are every bit as tricky to place to get sounding right as the Maggies, and have a much smaller listening sweet spot.
No negative comments please, I’m only trying to help!

I've listened to this video several times. The Sonus Faber are clear my favourites. Depth and soundstage and of course my musical ear. The other two sound light.

This was a lot of fun, I listened with my Infinity Gammas and I rate them this way, Sonus-last, Magnepan-second and the Martin Logan the clear winner. Also appreciate the way you did this, no BS and let the sound do the talking.

Had both maggies and MLs in my living room. Maggies require distance from sidewalls and have a very narrow sweet spot. When ideally placed they produce a massive soundstage...as long as your head is in a vice. MLs have a more conventional soundstage and need less room, but they are more revealing and detailed. Ive found a significant difference in sonic quality between the entry level LRS and higher end maggies.

I have both of these and was a spot on demo of thier work.

Good job of level matching and synchronization. Listening with Sennheiser HD800S, the differences are striking. I suspect that if the Magnepans were set up properly that I would choose them based on this video.

What an awesome way to compare speakers! Well done!

[peterstaaf]

Not gonna talk about which is best. I know the acoustic differences are also due to different positions /environments but I think this i the best video presentation I have seen/listen to. This type of experiments is something that takes time and effort. Thank You.

[sherloidbai]

One of if not the best side by side.
Been curious about Mags vs some Logans. TY

[fixedfocus]

Your comparison was very helpful! Thanks so very much for taking the time and the precise methodology. Again ... so helpful! Have a great day.

[maxon]

What a fantastic way to compare speakers! Very well done video!

[dorningarts]

Probably the best comparison I have heard on Youtube, pretty effective considering it is coming through low end computer speakers with all sorts of degradation. Oh by the way the Logans win by a margin

[metsno]

Close between the MLs and the Maggies. The Sonus aren't in the same league.

This is easily the best comparison video I've ever seen/heard.
