MartinLogan Debuts the Montis Loudspeaker

It's inspired by the CLX and offers many of the same features as Martin Logan's flagship.

The Montis - no, not Mantis - is the latest speaker to come out of MartinLogan. If you've seen one MartinLogan speaker then you're familiar with the look and general principle behind the Montis, but the company's new electrostatic speaker is more than just nice.

The Montis offers the same controlled dispersion XStat technology and DSP engine that you'll find in the higher-end speaker, all of which combine to provide mid-range clarity and excellent performance on the lows. It also utilizes an electrostatic transducer that, thanks to several new technologies, has a radiating area twice that of older speakers.

Though the Montis is more than just a pretty face, it sure does succeed at being absolutely gorgeous. You can pick it up in a variety of wood finishes including a new Gloss Black Cherrywood. You can pick up a pair yourself later this month for $9,999.

MartinLogan Announces In-Wall and On-Wall Speakers

Two more releases from MartinLogan, both of which borrow tech from flagship products.

The MartinLogan EFX is an on-wall speaker that uses a mix of technologies to produce what the company describes as reference quality audio. The EFX is also the slimmest on-wall speaker ever for MartinLogan.

Inside the EFX you'll find a crossover derived from the CLX loudspeaker and diaphragm with a conductive coating that's applied in an oxygen free chamber to ensure uniform and transparent application. It's also as close to mass free as you're likely to find. The CLX is available now at $3,095 a pair.

On the in-wall tip, MartinLogan is releasing the new Stealth series comprised of the Axis, Edge and Vanquish. A more badass sounding speaker you'll not find, though it's a bit odd for loudspeakers designed to be hidden away. Of course, if you want to show off, they're designed to look good without the magnetic grills. The Stealth series will hit in early 2012.

MartinLogan Debuts the Affordable ESL Loudspeaker

The ElectroMotion ESL is designed to set a benchmark for price versus performance.

You've seen them online and in high end electronic stores and, let's face it, they're incredibly cool. MartinLogan's electrostatic loudspeakers are unique and always turn the heads of people new to higher end speakers.

The new ElectroMotion ESL loudspeaker comes in at a fairly low price – under $2,000 a pair – but sports many of the features of the high end models. In fact, the folks at MartinLogan say that they should be thought of less as entry-level speakers and more as mini-flagship models.

The EM-ESL speakers feature a 34 inch XStat electrostatic transducer, an 8 inch fiber cone woofer and will be hitting stores in March at a price of $1,995 a pair.
