MartinLogan CLX Art Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview

The CLX Art from MartinLogan uses twin electrostatic transducers (a XStat CSL high frequency, and a DualForce twice diaphragm, three times stator dipole low) to quiver air and simulate faithful, best sound in unparalleled detail.  I've privately listened the CLX Art's cheaper siblings and they sound abounding and full, but we comprehend that electrostatic transduction isn't for all listeners.  Both high and low magnitude transducers are 57" high with any orator in the span weighing 110 lbs distributed over the complete splendid pattern (70.32" H x 25.75" W x 14.69" D).  Not usually are these suckers large and bold, but the new CLS electrostatic transducers underline roughly twice as sufficient unprotected diaphragm aspect as normal panels of the same size.  The panels have moreover been strengthened to make sure conform to tensioning of the void connected diaphragm using the company's ClearSpar technology.

The CLX Art's magnitude reply is 56-23,000 Hz (+/- 3dB) with a 30 grade plane apportionment and a 57" straight dispersion.  Its impedance rating is 6 Ohms, but is matching with 4, 6, or 8 Ohm rated amplifiers that are endorsed to have someplace in the operation of 20-450 watts per channel.  The full operation CLX Art loudspeaker's crossover magnitude is listed at 360Hz, but buyers can span the CLX Art with MartinLogan Descent we or Depth we subwoofers, and use the elective CLX low pass filter to precisely tie in the CLX Art's 56Hz low-frequency hurl off.

The CLX Art comes typical with a kindly winding Art Frame and is existing in 4 typical hand-rubbed, real-wood finishes (black ash, dim cherry, innate cherry, and maple).  Special order, customized outlandish hard timber finishes are moreover available, but greatfully know they take extra time to erect and deliver.
