I'm going try to listen to both the Golden Ear Aon 3 & Martin Logan 35xt next week if the dealers have them available for listening.
Now, the big question is using stands for the speakers & their pricing. I think that if the speaker stands are much over $100, then it would be better to get either a nightstand or a telephone table for use as speaker stands as they are around 23-25 inches in height.
I wonder if the "carpet savers" would serve similarly to the spikes on regular speaker stands; or are spikes supposed to penetrate the carpet thru to the wood base? Or would I really need to use carpet savers if the nightstand/telephone table doe have "legs" for support.
