I posted on the 990 forum I was looking at the 990 for HT processing with martin logans and was wondering if anyone was using this combinatioin. Gonk said there were some 950 users running MLs.
If anyone is could you let me know how they match up.
thanks Brad

Hi,
I'm using the 950 with ML CLS's. In my opinion it sounds great. The 950 replaced a Sunfire Theater Grand pre/pro, and sounds similar in 2 channel stereo mode, but significantly better in multichannel modes. The 950 will give you an excellent signal. The next link in the chain, the power amp, needs to keep it that way, as MLs are notoriously difficult to drive, and VERY revealing. Don't scrimp in that department.

HTH,
Peter

Hi,
Thanks for the responce. The Sunfire was one I was thinking about. I'm using Aragon 2002 dual mono block for mains and their 3005 for all other chanels. I may switch this to see which sounds better with the mains. The room their in is 15' wide and the sl'3s and cinema blend into one large sound stage now. I can only assume (I know that is not always a good thing to do) that the Outlaw pre-pro instead of the pre-outs on a Yamaha 1300 receiver should very exiting to listen to.

thanks
Brad

You might find Doug917's comparison of the 990, 970, and a Yamaha 2500 interesting.
