Martin Logan
Martin Logan is a North American company which was founded in 1982. Martin Logan produces a variety of floor-standing hybrid, wall-mounted, and in-wall speakers using electrostatic loudspeaker technology. Electrostatic loudspeakers use a thin flat diaphragm usually consisting of a plastic sheet instead of the traditional speaker cones which means they look like a screen making the speaker appear see-through. For anyone seeking the ultimate in sonic purity and clarity electrostatics hold enormous appeal. Unfortunately, designing and building one that will also produce the sound levels and bass extension most people expect from a loudspeaker is a formidable challenge, even today.
Electrostatic speakers add a very romantic look to a home theater, and one of the most recognizable electrostatics are those manufactured by Martin Logan. Most of Martin Logan's current speaker line is high quality hybrid electrostatic loudspeakers, that is, speakers that incorporate both a large electrostatic panel and one or more traditional cone woofers. This is done because bass reproduction requires a lot of air movement, and an electrostatic panel able to move enough bass to produce the lowest octave would have to be huge. By incorporating a traditional bass driver, Martin Logan's speakers are able to fit in tight spots and small apartments.
Martin-Logan manufactures luxury-priced (ranging from about $600 to more than $100,000) electrostatic audio speakers for stereos and home theater systems. Products are sold in the US and internationally through specialty retailers, such as Tweeter Home Entertainment and Magnolia Audio Video (a division of Best Buy).
