Martin Logan Vantage with Rotel RB1080/1090?

[Joey_V]

Not exactly a Rotel question, but I do have Rotels and I plan on moving up to the RB1080/90 sometime this year (towards the end perhaps) and I would like to know which of the following speakers would you guys choose if you were in my shoes.

I've saved up my summer job cash and have $4500-$5000 to spend. I am pretty set on the Martin Logan Vantage (should buy my pair this week), however, as a last minute thing, I would like to hear what YOU guys would pick if you had my budget.

Now, lets not get too nitpicky and criticize my gear (my electronics will grow into the speaker once I graduate from med school - 2 years).... just choose a pair that you like.

Here's the link to the thread that I started:

If you really like the Martin Logans I say go for them. You really can't go wrong with Logans. personally I like em alot 2. There subs are awesome as well.

Powered by Rotel should be fine and sound good.

I have ML SL3s as mains in my system and I love them. If you like the sound of the Logans and can afford them, by all means go for them. They should sound great with the Rotel gear you're considering.

There are a lot of B&W fans on here too. I haven't heard them personally though, yet.

I have Logans and a Rotel 1080. Have not seen anyone on this forum that had Rotel and Martin Logan. What is a reasonably priced and great sounding speaker cable with this combo?

I've been running my M-L Aerius with the RC1090/RCD1072/RB1080 for almost two years, for stereo listening. Been very pleased with the sound. Rotel & M-L seem to work well together, IMHO. (Also been using Nordost Solar Winds throughout my system, too.)

Thanks, enjoyed your input. Not had the opportunity to hear the Nordost cables since I have no local dealers.
