Hi all. I'm a new member. This is a great forum. I joined because I just have a Marantz 2215b, which I just had tuned-up and I want to get the most out of it. I am the original owner of the receiver, bought it in 1976, and never used it a lot. The unit was stored in a closet for more than 25 years. The technician who worked on it said it was in very good shape. It just needed cleaning, bias adjustment, new lamps, and a few areas needed resoldered. However, no capacitors were replaced. I bought a pair of Klipsch R51Ms for it and it sounds great. I bought these speakers because of their relatively high sensitivity of 93 dB based information I read here. I am now interested in buying a second pair of bookshelf speakers that sound different and need some advice. I don't seem to have a lot of options in the same price range as the Klipsches. I found two possibilities however: Martin Logan Motion15 92dB sensitivity, 5 Ohm and HSU HB1-MK2, 92dB sensitivity, 8 Ohm. Does anyone have any experience with these speakers? Is the 5 Ohm impedance of the Martin's an issue? Are there any other bookshelf speakers that I could use? Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing your advice.
