ML Grotto OR 2x Dynamo - help please!

[Bevan]

hi, hoping you guys can help me out with this choice, between a martin logan grotto, or, for the same price two dynamos.

they will be for music only. and i dont listen at more than 80db. i'm wondering if the servo controll is of much benefit when the sub is playing easily within its limit?

thanks

I would personally opt for the dual Dynamo subwoofers. With two, you can create a stereo subwoofering setup that is superior to a single-sub one. You may need to invest in a bass management setup, but it will be worth it.

is it the same price?

i'm also leaning towards dual dynamos (based on specs)

thanks guys.

the two dynamos will be 1200, the grotto 1000-1200 depending where you read. that ML site has been down for a while so is not much help.

i was also favouring the dual subs. servo is no doubt good but at less than 80db i doubt it comes very much into play. what you recon?

they will be mated with a T-amp driving 101db zu tones(single driver speakers) so speed is my main concern. any other nominations at this price will be appreciated.

many thanks
