MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL Floorstanding/Front/Surround – Each (Gloss black)

Description

The ElectroMotion ESL (EM-ESL) represents a brave new direction for electrostatic loudspeaker design. Featuring a full-sized 34-inch tall curvilinear XStatTM electrostatic transducer the new ESL performs more like a mini-flagship than an entry level audiophile speaker. Long time MartinLogan enthusiasts are sure to describe ElectroMotion ESL as the second-coming of the legendary Aerius electrostatic speaker which debuted in 1992 and went on to sell in record numbers. The new ESL however boasts 40 percent more radiating surface a superbly integrated and authoritative bass performance and a sensitivity rated at 91dB. In addition the ESL is capable of being effortlessly powered by both receivers and high-end amplifiers alike.ElectroMotion ESL’s XStat electrostatic MicroPerf panel is housed within a radical aluminum and composite AirFrameTM similar to those found on MartinLogan’s flagship products. AirFrame technology rigidifies the electrostatic panel without obstructing playable surface area or interfering with ambience enriching dipole sound radiation. At the same time an AirFrame provides electrical and acoustical isolation minimizing intermodulated distortion caused by vibration and resonance while enhancing imaging low-level sonic detail accuracy and efficiency. MicroPerf design optimizes the individual holes of The EM-ESL’s electrostatic panel. MicroPerf design substantially increases diaphragm radiating area compared to early generations-without compromising structural integrity. The resulting increase in output capability and efficiency allows The EM-ESL’s panel to enjoy a substantial leap in bandwidth and dynamics without growing larger. For example The EM-ESL’s XStat electrostatic panel features 129 square inches of sound radiating surface on both the front and back and a sensitivity of 91dB into 6 Ohms. The Aerius well received its day only had 93 square inches and a sensitivity of 89dB into 4 Ohms.A unique XStatTM transducer was developed for the ElectroM
