Hello, On my continued quest to listen to as many speakers as I can in my budget of $2 to $3k (for the front 2) I recently listened to the MartinLogan ESL's and was really blow away. I loved how clear they sounded with a ton of detail. I have also listened to the B&W CM9s and didn't like how the highs felt too high (is this called being too bright?). Anyways I was hoping to hear from someone who has listened to the ESL's and compare them to either the Salk songtowers or Ascend's Sierra towers. Thanks!
