McIntosh and Martin Logan
I decided on the Martin Logan Theos as best choice considering my room. I was considering the Martin Logan ElectroMotion, Magnepan MG1.7 or MG3.7.
Since my room is 10ft wide x 20ft long, it is not possible to have the Magnepans 2 feet away from side wall as they be to close together.
Reason to choose Theos instead of ElectroMotion is that panel area 44" x 9.2" instead of 34" x 8.6" of ElectroMotion.
One concern I do have is regarding using McIntosh MC302 amplifier. Since the McIntosh uses output autoformers, does this effect how well the MC302 will work with Martin Logan ESLs? Is the 2 ohm tap best choice? or should I use the 4 ohm tap? What is the min impedance of the Theos?
