Key Features & Innovations
34-inch XStat CLS Electrostatic Transducer — the MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL Electrostatic Loudspeaker (Each) employs an ultra-low-mass diaphragm driven by MicroPerf stator technology for astonishing speed, detail, and open spatial realism.
Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) dispersion — proprietary panel curvature controls horizontal dispersion to expand the sweet spot while minimizing side-wall acoustic reflections.
Integrated 8-inch high-excursion woofer — audiophile-grade bass driver housed in a tuned reflex enclosure seamlessly blends tight, impactful low-end extension down to 42Hz with the electrostatic panel.
Rigid AirFrame panel architecture — aircraft-grade extruded aluminum frame secures the electrostatic panel without obscuring play surface area or introducing resonance.
Precision Vojtko crossover network — hand-wired crossover utilizing custom air-core coils and polypropylene capacitors ensures smooth tonal balance across the crossover frequency.
FAQ — ElectroMotion ESL

Is this speaker sold individually or as a pair?
This product listing is for a single (each) floorstanding speaker. Order a quantity of two for a complete stereo pair.
What amplifier power is recommended for the ElectroMotion ESL?
Due to its high 91dB efficiency rating, it pairs effectively with high-quality stereo amplifiers and AV receivers rated between 20 and 300 Watts per channel.
How far should electrostatic speakers be placed from the back wall?
As a dipole speaker radiating sound from both front and back, placing it approximately 2 to 3 feet away from the rear wall optimizes soundstage depth and imaging precision.
