Martin Logan - Super Systems... Seeing / Hearing is Believing

[Sambob2]

I'm not sure how the photo looks, but it's appears to be a pair of Aerius on either side of a single Monolith. There's smaller speakers on either side of the Aerius but I can't tell what they are.

I dunno Kruppy, all I see are a pair of legs on either side of that Monolith.........Hmmm, maybe I should censor that now that I think of it....???:think:

I am looking at the Aerius and Aeon pics. They really look nice. Now if only ML would have a quartersawn oak finish that would match my craftsman/arts & crafts style interior (many houses have this style), that would be sweet! I like their wood finishes in all their lines but the quartersawn oak finish is a wish list of mine.

Yet Another Proud CLS Owner...

CLS speakers are truly tops in my book. :bowdown: I still am wondering what the new CLX will ultimately look like? :music:

CLS speakers are truly tops in my book. :bowdown: I still am wondering what the new CLX will ultimately look like? :music:

We were discussing this yesterday, below is an article about the CLX from The Stereo Times,which desribes it as being almost 6 feet tall, If thats the case the guy in the picture would have to be a t least 6' 10".


Martin Logan had invited me to visit their private showing of new models and there is great news at the top as well as the bottom of the range. We saw a new prototype of a top model ‘The CLX’, which nobody was allowed to take photos of which will come in at the top end. It will be a two panel on one chassis affair with a dedicated bass panel and a separate midrange/tweeter panel. Standing about six feet tall it is not small but not humongous either and according to what I have heard is perhaps closer to production than we first were led to believe.

The old CLS gave us one of our very fine audiophile memories, although it had a number of practical problems especially a rather limited horizontal dispersion, but what a sound. We expect the CLX to be a worthy heir to the old throne of pure electrostatic super speakers.

More immediate joy could be had from two clever models at the bottom of the Martin Logan range: the Source and the Purity. Both are hybrids with a dynamic bass section and a midrange/tweeter panel in the familiar Martin Logan look. The Source, which I did not get a chance to listen to, is a passive model using a single 8” woofer which will go on sale for $2,000. The Purity on the other hand is a very interesting active model utilizing 2 x 6.5” woofers to great effect. It uses an ICE amp and you can connect both speaker level outputs if you happen to use an integrated amp or receiver or you can go in using line level like say from a preamp or (dare I say) a PC. That makes it a very interesting and high performing speaker for its $3,000 price tag.

We listened to the Purity using quite a large selection of different material and can only say that it was impressive. It seemed really coherent and the bass was strong to say the least, when you take the size of the speaker into consideration. Several times we heard somebody ask which subwoofer was connected. But even though three were present in the room none of them were in use. This is a very exiting product for lovers of the clean sound of an electrostatic speaker and who will appreciate the very reasonable budget it allows. Did we mention that they actually look quite elegant and definitely non-domineering so the WAF should be substantial.

Wayne,

Only issue is that guy is I think Dave from the National Meet... the design guru who had us draw up all those "dream ML speakers" at that part of the tour. From what I remember, you were much taller than he was.... so he cannot be 6'10"....

Unless he grew... .
