The latest upgrade to my system (and i believe the last one for a long while to come) was concluded today.
Martin Logan Electromotion ESL upgraded to Montis
You can check the latest update for my system here.
Initial impression ... house rumbling
This is a bass beast, and actually there was no doubt on this front. The concern, however, was weather the D400 will be able to drive the Montis at high frequencies when the impedance drops to as low as 0.56 ohms? And I have to say now that any shred of doubt I may have had has just evaporated!
The D400 just drives the Montis with ease and i played the most familiar tracks to my ears and boy i do hear things for the very first time especially on the high notes! of course on the low frequencies everything moves and rumbles to the extent that i had to dial down the bass control to -3db.
The output impedance of the D400 (0.001 ohm) is very low to give a damping factor of 560% when driving the Montis at its lowest load impedance of 0.56 ohm.
Mind you this is a brand new pair not even broken in, so i would expect things to get only better from here.
The D400 power, grip, abyssal low noise paired with the ML Montis transparency, atmosphere and seamless transition form low frequencies to the mids and highs makes this a perfect match (at least to me
)
