MartinLogan Vantage High-Performance Electrostatic Speaker (Single, Black Ash/Black Aluminum) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned many Martin Logan products, including the Vantage, and all are of the highest quality. Electrostatic speakers have a unique, open and airy sound quite different than most conventional systems, and if this suits your tastes, the MLs are among the best.
Some folks find the airy openness of electrostats better for music than for home theater, but I disagree. Matched with stable, high-quality electronics, these sound amazing in a home theater system (that's how I have mine). They are of course also excellent for pure music with a clear, detailed sound quality not to be missed.
Note that they benefit from top quality electronics and very careful placement within your room in order to get the optimum performance (specifically, they need to be placed a few feet away from any walls). But give them 200 watts of pure, clean power and you won't believe the sound quality from these gems.
They are also somewhat difficult to clean (dust is attracted to the electrostatic elements and needs to be vacuumed), and I wouldn't feel right installing these fine speakers in a home with a smoker (smoke collects on the electrostatic panels, too). The wiring can also be complex - like all electrostats, the speakers need to be plugged into an electric outlet, not just connected via speaker cables.
Highly recommended and worth every penny!

Based on the state-of-the-art Summit loudspeaker, Vantage offers unprecedented performance for its size and price. Key to this achievement is our PoweredForce active woofer technology, which generates deep, articulate, dynamic bass from an astonishingly compact cabinet. An XStat electrostatic panel handles the midrange up, delivering the smooth, pristinely detailed, and richly ambient sound that is the hallmark of MartinLogan speakers. No ordinary speaker comes close.
