Hello Mr. Grunt
OK, so I called Magnolia, hooked up with Amir, a very nice and knowledgeable sales person, who gave me the lowdown.
The Martin Logans I heard were standing out in the middle of the Magnolia apse firing into a huge space [warehouse size]. There was no subwoofer. The sound was electrifyingly good. The music was a Kris Botti live in Boston BluRay playing through a Pioneer Elite SC25 receiver and Pioneer BluRay player.
The Martin Logans were the middle of the entry level range of models - called the "Source."
These speakers are special. The Purities are two levels better. I'm going in for a listen next week.
