Are Martin Logan Motion speakers good?
MartinLogan Motion 40i is a great-sounding and fairly affordable entry-level audiophile speaker. Its elegant design, accurate, punchy, and controlled bass, clear and dynamic mids, and sparkling treble make it one of the best floorstanding speakers under $2,500.
What are floorstanding speakers good for?
Because of their larger size, floor standing speakers can have more drivers (the part of a speaker that creates sound). This allows the speaker to send certain frequencies (treble, midrange, bass) to a driver tailor-made for those sounds.
Are Martin Logan speakers made in China?
Production of Martin Logan Electrostatic loudspeakers was moved to the Paradigm manufacturing facility in Mississauga Ontario, Canada post this acquisition. Conventional loudspeakers by Martin Logan, the Motion line, are manufactured in China.
Are Martin Logan speakers made in USA?
Headquarters: Lawrence, Kansas MartinLogan’s North American manufacturing facility is located in Mississaugua, Ontario where our electrostatic speakers are hand-built by a highly-trained team of manufacturing specialists.
Why are most loudspeakers mounted in a baffle?
When a speaker is mounted on a baffle board it increases the distance the front and rear sound waves must travel before they meet. When the front and rear waves meet they can cancel each other out.
How do electrostatic speakers work?
An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase. While one grid causes the diaphragm to push, the other causes it to pull, thus moving air and creating sound.
How good are electrostatic speakers?
Electrostatic speakers produce levels of distortion one to two orders of magnitude lower than conventional cone drivers in a box. Electrostatic speakers’ clarity is extraordinary. The big downside is high cost, but electrostatic speakers have been popular with audiophiles for many years.
Are speaker baffles worth it?
Speaker baffles are definitely worth it. They minimize mechanical vibrations and the diffraction of sound waves to create a more honest reproduction of sound and improve off-axis frequency response. The baffle also prevents the speaker’s front and rear waves from colliding and canceling each other out.
