Martin Logan Classic ESL 9 Floorstanding Speakers

The Martin Logan Classic ESL 9 floorstanding speakers represent a masterpiece in audio performance, designed to evoke profound emotions and leave a lasting impact on listeners. With innovative technology and meticulous craftsmanship, these speakers offer an unparalleled listening experience that will transform your perception of sound.

A Classic Masterpiece of Sound Reproduction

The Classic ESL 9 features MartinLogan's signature Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) XStat vacuum-bonded electrostatic transducer, renowned for its exceptional clarity and efficiency. Advanced MicroPerf stator technology and Ultra-rigid AirFrame Blade construction enhance the panel's output and rigidity, resulting in deep, accurate bass reproduction.

Revolutionary Woofer Design

Reinventing the woofer section, the Classic ESL 9 incorporates two 8-inch laser-engineered low-distortion aluminum cone woofers balanced in an opposing array. This design minimizes cabinet vibrations and ensures uniform frequency response, delivering realistic bass effects with precision and authority.

Ultra-Rigid AirFrame Blade Design

The Classic ESL 9 features MartinLogan's redesigned AirFrame Blade construction, crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy for exceptional rigidity and acoustical isolation. This innovative design enhances imaging, sonic detail, and speaker efficiency, ensuring an immersive listening experience.

Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) Electrostatic Panel

CLS technology, integral to every Martin Logan electrostatic loudspeaker, enhances high-frequency detail without compromising overall sound quality. The gentle curve and perforation pattern of the panel contribute to its modern aesthetic while optimising sound dispersion.

Controlled Dispersion Sound Radiation

Electrostatic panels produce a controlled dispersion radiation pattern, minimising side-wall reflections and enhancing stereo imaging and depth perception. The strong rear radiation produces natural, ambience-enriching mid- and upper-register information, resulting in a cohesive and immersive soundstage.

Big, Well-Blended Bass Performance

With a passive pair of high-excursion 8-inch laser-engineered aluminium cone woofers, the Classic ESL 9 delivers profound bass output with minimal distortion. The opposing woofer array design and flared, ultra-low turbulence rear-firing slotted bass port ensure accurate, musical, and lifelike bass performance.

Bi-wirable Tool-less Binding Posts and Low-Voltage Power Supply

MartinLogan's proprietary tool-less binding posts simplify cable connection and management, offering flexibility for bi-wiring configurations. The low-voltage DC power supply eliminates the need for a traditional, heavy IEC power cord, further enhancing setup and cable management.

Precision-Built Advanced-Topology Vojtko Crossover

The advanced Vojtko-voiced crossover ensures low distortion and seamless driver integration, preserving sonic nuances and dynamics. MartinLogan's state-of-the-art electrical interface engineering guarantees transparent audio performance, delivering sound of unparalleled purity, precision, clarity, and openness.
