• I read in my manual that to achieve good imaging my speakers should be toed in. How much should I toe them in?

  Generally it is found that the ideal listening position is with the speakers slightly toed-in so that you are listening to the inner third of the curved electrostatic transducer. A simple, yet effective method to achieve proper toe in involves sitting at the listening position, holding...

• What size (power) of an amplifier should I use?

  The power amplifier is one of the most important elements in any A/V system, as too little power will not allow your system to live up to its full potential. In general, we recommend an amplifier with 100 to 200 watts per channel for most applications. Probably less would be adequate...

• Will amplifiers rated at 6 or 8 ohms work with MartinLogan speakers?

  All MartinLogan speakers are compatible with receivers rated at 4, 6 or 8 ohms. We have tested several mainstream, high quality receivers and have found all are more than capable of driving 4 ohm speakers. The limitations of an amplifier rated at 6 or 8 ohms only becomes obvious at...

• Could you suggest a list of power amplifiers and components that will be ideal for MartinLogan speakers?

  With numerous excellent amplifiers available and the list growing practically each day, we can't recommend one amp over another simply because we haven't had the opportunity to audition them all. This is also true of each component in your A/V system. There are many great components...

• Do MartinLogan speakers require big or expensive amplifiers?

  Absolutely not. MartinLogan speakers are quite efficient and are typically capable of providing from 89-91 dB output from only 2.83 volts of input (please refer to specific product specifications). This makes them suitable for use with a wide range of discrete and integrated amps,...

• Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers?

  We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best source for information when purchasing additional audio equipment. With regards to routers,...

  That is correct. Nearly every MartinLogan speaker is a hybrid design. This means that they use both thin film and dynamic transducers to achieve maximum detail, imaging, and dynamic range. MartinLogan hybrid loudspeakers seamlessly fuse curvilinear line source electrostatic transducers...

• Is there likely to be any interaction between my speakers and the television in my audio/video system?

  With modern flat-panel televisions this is not an issue. If using an older CRT television we recommend 3 feet between a speaker and video components that are susceptible to magnetic fields.
