I am starting a long search for new speakers in the V3's price range, which I have auditioned a number of times, but am not sure that it's as musical my Martin Logans. What have been others' experiences with this speaker?

Peter, how big is your room? Is it treated? I'm trying hard to convince myself that I can make them sing, nearfield, in my 12x20 dedicated room. Every room I've heard them in so far has been compromised in one respect or another, yet they still sound incredible....plus the CLX (which left me smitten before, but I can't fit them in my room)......
Thank you Myles... I was hoping you'd chime in. Yes I intend to audition the Summit X again, plus the CLX (which left me smitten before, but I can't fit them in my room). I am glad you mentioned Venture because I have them at the top of my list along with the Rockport Ankaa. But frankly, I went through the same exercise a couple of years ago, and like you said, once you've lived with 'stats it's really hard to like boxes... Before my Odysseys I had a pair of SL-3's, so I've lived with stats for well over 10 yrs. The Vandy 7s are clearly out of my price range, but the others are.

Last week my buddy and fellow member Marty here auditioned the Wilson Sophia 3 with the Spectral DM 260 and for the price was one of the best systems I have heard in years.
Carl (cjfrbw) has a pair, though heavily customized. Shoot him a PM. Nice pair of Amphytrions on the 'gon right now........ Anyone have experience with Analysis Audio? ....

As to a box sounding like a box I respectfully disagree with Myles interpretation. Maybe he has been listening to the wrong boxes
Hi
People, you may have noticed that most, if not all the posts (including mine) have not even hinted at the OP question: "Opinions on the Magico V3".
One other that just thought of were the Marten Coltrane or Birds.
Marty, Since you've heard both, do you think the Sashas are worth the extra $10K over the Sophia 3s?
