$8,500 Worth of Sound

I love music, and I love a great pair of speakers, however, I think I would have to think twice about purchasing a $8,500 speaker set. These new electrostatic speakers from MartinLogan have some fancy-sounding tech built in, and are hand built also. I am going to try to explain the technology the best I can since there are some things I am unfamiliar with.

There's the ultra-rigid "AirFrame" Curvilinear Line Source XStat audio transducer (don't ask), and a selectable 35Hz equalization option to better suit your room acoustics. The cabinets come in a variety of woods including maple, wenge, and rotary-cut bubinga. Unfortunately, I will never be able to give these speakers a chance since, as mentioned, the price tag is an astonishing $8,500. For that you do get 200W of sound with apparently "flawless precision."

MartinLogan can tell you all about them. If you happen to buy this speaker set, please contact me. We can arrange a way so I can hear just how expensive/flawless they are.
