Q: What is the speaker's sensitivity?

A: The sensitivity of the MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 floorstanding speaker is 90 decibels.

Q: What is the minimum frequency response of the speaker?

A: The minimum frequency response of the speaker is 34 hertz.

Q: What is the weight and dimensions of the speaker?

A: The product weighs 78 pounds. It is 59.8 inches high, 25.4 inches deep, and 10.4 inches wide.

Q: Does this speaker need its own separate AC power or just power from an amplifier?

A: Hello. Thank you for your question and for your interest in our products. The speaker needs to be powered with an AC adaptor and needs to be powered with an amp/AV receiver. The AC power supply is used to charge the electrostatic panel, but it still needs power from the amp/AV receiver. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your support, and we hope you have a wonderful day.

Q: Are these speakers electrostatic

A: Thank you for your question, and we hope all is well. Yes, this model is an electrostatic speaker using advanced MicroPerf stator technology, which allows for almost twice the exposed electrostatic diaphragm surface as a traditional electrostatic panel of the same size. The Classic ESL 9 is also part of our Masterpiece series using our new ultra-rigid AirFrame Blade design, which enhances imaging, low-level sonic detail, accuracy, and speaker efficiency. We hope this helps and thank you for your interest in our products.
