One More Check on the Bucket List!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Mids, Movies, Sound qualityI've been buying hi-fi and video gear for 45 of my 60 years on this planet. I even worked in the industry in it's heydays in the late 70's - mid 80's and have always enjoyed audio & video as a hobby. Over the years I've owned hundreds of audio & video components from cassette tape decks to laser disc players, from turntables to reel-to-reel decks, even my share of VHS and Beta VCR's. And lots of stuff in-between. Along with that I have owned a vast array of loudspeakers starting with my first serious speakers - a pair of RSL Model 8's. Those were followed by the then the legendary Pioneer HPM-100's and Polk Model 10's. I've even ventured to the exotic - purchasing a pair of Acoustat 1+1's and Carver AL-III's back in the early and late 90's. But alas, I got married, had two kids and the budget for hi-fi gear took a bit of a back seat. So it was with true enthusiasm, and a nice tax return, that I made the move to buy my new Martin Logan EM ESL-X speakers in April! And I was not disappointed. It was like reliving my youth and being able to enjoy real high-end sound again. I matched them with a Martin Logan EM ESL-C center channel, Dynamo 1100X Sub and 4 of the Motion FX for surround. It makes an amazing 7.1 package and I am enjoying my music and movies like never before. The level of detail, imaging and nuance are incredible. As cliche as it sounds, and I am as skeptical as anybody, I am hearing things in my music that I have never heard before. The sound of the electrostatic panels is revealing and mesmerizing - and like no other speaker I have ever owned. The complimentary subwoofer, center channel and surround speakers make it a must have for my movie viewing. I can highly recommend all of these speakers without reservation and truly consider this a check off the old bucket list and look forward to years of musical and movie enjoyment! It's worth noting that I bought these during the height of the pandemic and Magnolia-Best Buy gave me great support online and over the phone in spite of all the store closures and distractions. The purchase and delivery were flawless with the exception of one defective woofer grill that was swiftly replaced. A big thanks to Magnolia-Best Buy for all their support during a very trying time!

Amazing introduction to Martin Logan
|Posted .We owned the entry level ESL's and decided to upgrade. We now have the ability to bi-amp which makes a world of difference. 250 for mid's and highs and 250 to power the sub. Together with our EM-C2 and Motion FX surrounds, the sound reproduction is now full of sounds we were not able to hear before. Highly recommended. PS: Make sure to power these babies properly. They can take it!!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Movies, Sound quality, SubwooferTruly amazing...no other comment needed. On a side note - they say there's a 100 hours break in period, and although the speakers are amazing from the beginning, I've noticed the projection of the sound field field appears to have widened with use. You can close your eyes and it believe the music is live in the room it's so real. We love jazz, and piano (and all instruments really) sound as if the player is in the room. Movies sound better than ever as well. Sub woofer isn't optional though. There's bass and it's very natural. However, to get the theater low end bass effect, that one thing isn't there. And no speaker in my experience takes the place of a sub woofers. I have two standalone subs and they complement the speakers beautifully.

Great Pair of Speakers
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Mids, Sound qualityI listened to the ESL models in the store and took a leap of faith in ordering these. I was not disappointed. They sound better and tend to have less of a 'sweet spot' the ESL's had. I went to the store to basically buy some B&W CM10's, but I asked the salesman what else he had. I was impressed by the ESL's. I will say these speakers are 'bright' with very tight high/mid-range. That's what I prefer, but I realize that might not appeal to everyone. If you like the ESL's in the store, you'll like these even better. It was a great purchase for me. Very happy.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityWent and visited Magnolia 3 times to listen to these and couldn’t wait to get a pair home. Have not tuned them in and got them placed right. Used ARC room correction and after 100 hours or so will do it again. I pairs these with the center channel and 1100 dynamo sub. Took my encore energy surround system and turned it into a 7.1 system. Excellent product.
