MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL MartinLogan's hybrid electrostat simply has to be experienced for yourself to fully appreciate its unique sound quality. The EM-ESL features a genuine bent 34-inch ML Xstat panel, whose transparent style and breathy sound are hard to resist.
If for some reason you think the panel's dynamics and punch are lacking, or you assume the panel is only suitable for light Jazz music, it's time to quickly correct all your misconceptions.
Even this smallest genuine MartinLogan is capable of breathtaking dynamics and realism. No matter what you listen to, we speak from personal experience, this speaker is equally suitable for film scores, Shostakovich, Kraftwerk and Megadeth, suit you Sir. The singer comes directly to your lap when necessary, but still the sound image is deep and wide with a quality recording.
The speakers disappear from the soundstage completely. 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. Does that sound appealing?
