Some people (and most speaker manufacturers) wonder why anyone would make electrostatic loudspeakers when conventional ones are so much easier to design and build. It would be a silly question if ordinary dynamic speakers all performed poorly, but that's hardly the case. For applications current electrostatic technology can't handle well (subwoofers, to take an extreme example), even we employ other approaches. Cones and domes still have their place.
Wherever possible, however, we go electrostatic. It is a special breed of speaker, capable of extraordinary, compellingly realistic reproduction. In certain crucial respects, good electrostatic loudspeakers are just better than anything else available. Hear MartinLogan electrostats, properly set up in a good environment, and the difference will be immediately apparent - no explanation required.
25th Anniversary CLX...
The World's Finest Full-Range Electrostatic Line Source Loudspeaker
The CLX delivers the truth – the culmination of everything we have learned about electrostatic technology since we brought our first product to market in 1983. Purity of sound permeates your entire room and satisfies even the most critical ear. The new industry benchmark for resolving detail, CLX utilizes dual electrostatic transducers to render the most complex musical passages as faithfully as a crystal prism disperses the full color spectrum. This is the limitless spectrum of the CLX – the absolute truth in musical reproduction.

Voyage...
Ultimate-Performance In-Wall
The world's most sophisticated and elegant architectural loudspeaker, Voyage sounds so clean and dynamic, you'd think it were a superb standalone design. Not surprising, since it borrows so much from our own, including Advanced Thin Film drivers and high-resolution woofers. A rigid aluminum chassis and die-cast mounting locks enhance performance and ease installation, while an adjustable tweeter-alignment sphere, paintable end caps, and a selection of grille colors provide incredible adaptability.
