Thinking of upgrading to ML Focus ESL C18

Hey guys!

So, I'm currently using a Marantz 8805 + Krell Chorus 5200 to power my Martin Logans. I have Ethos as mains, Motif X as center, and Motion 40 as rears. I can get a great deal on the newer ESL C18 - just curious if you guys think this would be a SIGNIFICANT upgrade? I know not many people have this speaker, and honestly, I don't really look into specs much in regards to speakers...I just listen to them. But I can't get a demo of this anywhere, so I'm hoping somebody can help. Thanks!

Post in the 2 channel section; Scott has tons of ESL experience.

But everything I've read indicates they need power, (which you have), space from room boundaries and a very very narrow sweet spot which lends them best to 2 channel listening for a single listener.
