Kef vs Martin Logan

I know these are two completely different speakers, but I've fallen for both of them and I would like someone else's opinion. First I am comparing the ML SL3's to the Kef Reference Model 3's. I have a Sunfire Theater/Cinema Grand setup. Will the ESL's work well with the Amp I have? Also space/ placement is a concern. My room is medium sized (15x 12 w/ 10 ft cielings). I'm not trying to shake the building but I don't want to think I'll be wasting my money if the speakers are restricted by acoustics. Any input anyone has would be welcome.

I too purchased the M-Ls versus Kef, having owned Kefs in a previous system. For me there is no comparison. In fact, buy the SL3s now. They are discontinued and the local United Audio (chicago) is selling new in a box for 1298 each. Make sure you buy good speaker cables too. I switched from the heaviest Monster to Nordost flatline II and difference is sound is immense.

I am running a Cinema Grand with MArtin Logan's it is a fine combo... I can't speak for the Kef's but once a stat man always a stat man... Miles

The KEF's will allow a much larger listening area (sweet spot) and will be much easier to place within a room. I have a pair of 105/3's (which are very similar to the 3's) and love them dearly .... but then you already know they sound fantastic!
