Martin Logan Dynamo

[Dave]

I am looking for a small sub and a friend recommended the Martin Logan Dynamo. No one in town sells them so I will have to wait to hear one. Before I travel I was wondering if any body has heard one and is it worth chasing down.
I will be using it with the new B&W 685s, which are incredible for their size and price but I am not impressed with the B&W subs.
Thanks
Dave

Hi, I used a Martin Logan Dynamo for a year and enjoyed it tremendously. I made a major step up to a Revel B15 and I will likely never purchase another sub again.

What I LOVED about the Dynamo:

1) Compact
2) Tight bass and deep--went down to 25Hz
3) Easy to place and move. Flexible
4) Filled my large listening room with ease (24'x24')
5) Non-ported design. I wanted an enclosed sub
6) Aluminum woofer

What made me change:
1) I wanted room EQ
2) I wanted bass down to 18Hz as I felt I was missing something.


For a 10" sealed enclosure, I cannot think of a better unit. Note, I had to make a SIGNIFICANT price jump and jump in unit quality to make me change.

Good luck!

Thanks, I am going to have to make up my mind soon because our Canadian dollar has tanked and prices will be going up soon. The only problem i have is nobody within 500 miles sells them.

Dave,

You can find them on ebay.com or audiogon.com for around $350-$450 US. I would suggest that $350 be the price for a used one in "good" condition", $400 be the price for on in mint/near mint and $450 be the price new in box. Just my 2 cents.

All the best,
Theo
