Brand

MartinLogan

When it comes to electrostatic speaker design, there is no name bigger than MartinLogan. No company before it had managed to consistently leverage the purity and clarity of electrostatic speakers without sacrificing power and bass. The Kansas-based company's design and engineering teams have perfected the electrostatic model for high-quality audio during the past four decades.

Each component crafted by the company has the same goal: to reproduce the most complex musical recordings faithfully. The company's ESL series is still its most distinguished line. Among the standouts are the Ethos, Spire, and Summit X.

During the past two decades, they've expanded their product line to include home theater loudspeakers like The Stage, soundbars, and cutting-edge subwoofers. They've also introduced industry-leading technology, from handcrafted crossovers to Anthem Room Correction technology integration.

They have never strayed too far from their core focus: reference-grade electrostatic loudspeakers. This is showcased best in their flagship Neolith speaker. Standing over six feet high and made to order, it offers 23–22,000 Hz ±3dB frequency response and 90 dB/2.83 volts/meter sensitivity. For our clients that want this type of craftsmanship at an affordable price, we recommend the Classic ESL 9. It delivers classic audio performance ideal for entry-level audiophiles.
