MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL pair of floor speakers

MartinLogan's ElectroMotion ESL has completely stirred up the speaker market. MartinLogan's hybrid electrostat simply has to be experienced for yourself in order to even imagine understanding its unique high-quality sound. The EM-ESL features a genuine curved 34-inch ML Xstat panel, whose transparent style and breathy sound are hard to resist.

If for some reason you think that the panel's dynamics and impact are lacking, or you assume that the panel is only suitable for light Jazz music, now is the time to correct all misconceptions.

Even this smallest genuine MartinLogan is capable of breathtaking dynamics and realism. It doesn't matter what you listen to, we're talking from our own experience, this speaker is equally suitable for movie soundtracks, Shostakovich, Kraftwerk and Megadeth, suit you Sir. The singer comes right into your lap if necessary, but still the sound image is deep and wide with high-quality recording.

The speakers completely disappear from the sound picture. In addition, the speaker is an extremely easy load for the amplifier, and does not cause acoustic problems in the listening room like traditional cabinet speakers. Sound appealing?

Perfect Vision Magazine: "It offers very serious high-end sound quality for only a little more money than some mid-fi systems cost."
