杰作不只能激发情感。它改变了你的感觉,在你离开艺术画廊或音乐厅后很久就会坚持下去。它被认为是一个杰作正是因为它能够改变你内心的某些东西。一旦你体验到它,你永远不会是一样的。在自己的家中享受杰作是一种渴望的东西。
考虑经典ESL 9,您可以获得改变生活的体验,并获得音频表现的杰作。你永远不会是一样的。
MartinLogan推出经典ESL 9,这是其最新的现代杰作。 MartinLogan的旗舰ESL系列中所有熟悉的元素都在这里,并进行了一些革命性的改进。这款出色扬声器的核心是其9.2英寸宽的Curvilinear线源(CLS)XStat真空键合静电传感器。先进的MicroPerf定子技术比这一尺寸级别的任何其他静电面板显示出更多的隔膜表面积,有效地增加了窄面板的输出。超刚性AirFrame 刀片结构可降低性能 - 消除振动,其形状与低音扬声器柜形成一种富有表现力的对齐。深沉的低音采用双8英寸低失真,高偏移铝制锥形低音扬声器,精美雕刻的外壳,具有无懈可击的精确度和权威性。
看看经典的MartinLogan静电扬声器中熟悉的元素:先进的MicroPerf定子技术,它允许暴露的静电膜片表面几乎是相同尺寸的传统静电面板的两倍。带有刚性ClearSpar™垫片的加强型静电面板,可在真空粘合膜片上保持精确的张力水平,而不会遮挡美观的透视设计。除此之外,新款AirFrame™ 刀片结构采用细长的尖头箭头设计,结果是强大的令人回味的组合,在面板和低音扬声器柜之间创造了和谐的连接。
经典元素,以全新方式经验:先进的MicroPerf定子技术,与相同尺寸的传统静电面板相比,其暴露的静电膜表面几乎可以达到两倍。带有刚性ClearSpar™垫片的加强型静电面板,可在真空粘合膜片上保持精确的张力水平,而不会遮挡美观的透视设计。除此之外,新款AirFrame™ 刀片结构采用细长的尖头箭头设计,结果是强大的令人回味的组合,在面板和低音扬声器柜之间创造了和谐的连接。
现在注意一些改进:我们重新设计了Classic ESL 9低音扬声器部分。我们使用两个8英寸激光设计的低失真铝制锥形低音扬声器,在相对的阵列中平衡,一个向前和一个向后发射。这种设计大大降低了同方向低音扬声器定位所固有的音箱振动,特别是在34Hz至100Hz范围内,均匀的频率响应,从而产生逼真的低音效果。
经典的ESL 9 XStat面板采用MartinLogan重新设计的AirFrame 刀片结构连接到扬声器音箱,采用航空航天级挤压铝合金精密制造。这种材料和这种独特的制造工艺使得面板非常坚固。
这款AirFrame Blade导轨系统采用醒目,前卫的造型设计,前部窄而强,侧面宽而有力,是一种现代设计风格。它绝不会妨碍可播放的表面区域或干扰面板的偶极声辐射模式。它还提供电气和声学隔离,最大限度地减少由振动和共振引起的互调失真。流畅的线条突出了面板本身与紧凑的低音扬声器和放大器部分的突破性整合。令人叹为观止的AirFrame Blade设计增强了成像,低级声音细节,精确度和扬声器效率。
CLS技术是我们生产的每个静电扬声器的重要组成部分。通过我们专有的制造方法,我们内置了面板的柔和水平曲率。这种独特的设计增强了大型辐射表面产生的高频细节,同时不影响整体音质。请注意柔和的现代曲线和穿孔图案如何让位于低音扬声器部分的扁平格栅。
我们从扬声器听到的声音是从它到耳朵的直接辐射,以及房间表面 - 墙壁,地板和天花板的反射。我们的大脑如何整合这些信息远非简单。根据耳朵的入射角度和直接声音与反射声音之间的到达时间差异,反射可以模糊细节和立体声成像,或增强深度和开放性的自然印象。
静电面板是真正的偶极扬声器,可产生几乎理想的受控色散辐射图案。它们向侧面发出非常小的声音,从而最大限度地减少侧壁反射,其短暂到达时间往往会干扰直接声音的感知。然而,它们强大的后向辐射产生了大量自然的,充满氛围的后来到达的中上注册信息。
这款Masterpiece的动态性能是由MartinLogan内部工程团队定制设计的一对被动式8英寸激光工程铝制低音扬声器。这种高效的铸造篮式低音扬声器设计改善了锥形悬架和磁通场,最大化响应时间,产生真正深刻的低音输出(低至34Hz),失真度极低。
低音扬声器在相对的阵列中平衡,一个向前发射,一个向后发射。这种设计大大减少了同方向低音扬声器定位所固有的机箱振动,特别是在34Hz至100Hz范围内。这种相对的低音扬声器阵列的滚降特性进一步优化,以实现逼真的相干低音波形。此外,我们还调整了后烧式低音扬声器,以最大限度地减少近壁相互作用,完美地补充了静电面板的偶极性质。这种配置的低音表现准确,音乐和完全逼真。
喇叭形,超低湍流后发射开槽低音端口是外壳设计不可或缺的一部分,提供额外的刚性内部支撑层,增加深沉的低音输出,不会增加端口噪音。
MartinLogan专有的免工具绑定柱简化了电缆连接和管理。提供两组 - 一组连接到静电面板,另一组连接低音扬声器。听众可以选择垂直/水平双功放Classic ESL 9,或在绑定接线柱之间使用跳线夹进行单线连接。经典ESL 9具有双向接线柱,可为连接和设置提供最高级别的灵活性。为了进一步简化设置和电缆管理,Classic ESL 9采用低压直流电源,无需传统的重型IEC电源线。
Masterpiece系列扬声器音箱的深度经过精心挑选,以最大限度地发挥先进低音技术的优势,提供真正独特的低频精度。
采用ForceForward低音技术,低音扬声器相互之间的距离越远,频率越低,其有益效果就越大 。 MartinLogan的ForceForward技术解决了一个问题(几乎在所有扬声器中都有),低音频率的声波在扬声器后面的墙壁上反射,并与向听众传播的波浪相互作用。当这些相互作用到达你的耳朵时,这些相互作用会在这些频率中产生非线性,并且低音信息会受到与原始声音不准确的取消和过度的影响。通过选择性地调整其相对低音扬声器输出的相位,动力Masterpiece系列扬声器消除了扬声器后面有问题的低音能量。
ForceForward还通过消除扬声器后面的低音能量并创建均匀的低音发射,简化了扬声器放置的任务。这使得Masterpiece系列扬声器音箱比前几代MartinLogan音箱更接近墙壁。根据经验,我们建议将扬声器箱的后部放置在比其低音扬声器直径更近的位置(Renaissance ESL 15A:12英寸,Expression ESL 13A:10英寸,Impression ESL 11A和Classic ESL 9) :8英寸)。
此外,由于它们具有偶极性质,静电面板在距离墙壁至少2.5英尺或更远的位置时表现最佳 - 这种距离对于几乎任何高端扬声器的前端都是理想的,无论驱动技术如何。 Masterpiece系列机柜的深度使其能够提供与墙壁保持足够距离的静电面板,从而保证了非常详细的三维立体声。
"These were some of the most transparent speakers I’ve heard, so much so that I often forgot I was reviewing a pair of speakers and found myself utterly enveloped in sound."—Myron Ho, HomeTheaterReview.com

"When I reviewed the MartinLogan Summits back in issue 13, their ability to deliver a major dynamic swing proved impressive. Finally there were some panels that could deliver enough oomph, providing a visceral enough experience to play rock music at a respectable level. The ESL 9 fully embodies this tradition, with a level of refinement that the earlier model did not have."—Jeff Dorgay, TONE Audio

"[Translated] This musical epic proposes a few layers of keyboards, including the famous Mellotron which through the ESL 9 has no difficulty in installing a non-removable seat. The walls seem so far away that I completely forget the characteristics of the room in which I find myself. An irrefutable proof of the immersive effect which these MartinLogan provide me, is the fact that I constantly forget that I am doing an evaluative product review, thus rendering note taking a secondary action.

"In the price range inhabited by the main MartinLogan product line - up to about $25,000 per pair - there are competing speakers of all types, shapes, configurations, and technologies. Some can claim serious bragging rights in certain categories, but I know of none that manage to put the spark in speakers like a good electrostatic, and no company that understands electrostatics and the listeners who love them better than MartinLogan. The Classic ESL 9 is a mighty addition to that line, and warrants a serious listen by the serious listener in you. "—Wayne Myers, HomeTheaterShack.com

I previously worked at a hifi store in Hamilton NZ and first heard Martin Logans back in 1998. I was so impressed with them that I promised myself I'd own a pair one day. Well, just recently the stars aligned, and I purchased a pair of Classic ESL 9's and my memory has not failed me...these sound amazing! I don't have a flashy front end, I'm using AudioLAB CDQ8300 preamp with AudioLAB MB8200 250w monobloc power amps with a Music Hall 2.2 turntable, with a Bluesound Node 2i for streaming. I have a very standard 4.8m x 5.5m lounge with a high stud and as usual this room has limitations on placement for speakers this size. Currently these speakers are sitting about 300mm from the front wall and at normal listening levels it is completely fine. My previous speakers are 30 year old Mordaunt Short Performance 860's and to be honest they have served me extremely well and I was very happy with the sound, until I heard these...WOW, the sound stage is enormous, base weight is admirable, mid-range and high frequencies are superb, making the entire listening experience an absolute delight. I had doubts about my amplifiers ability to drive these speakers (being just 4ohm) but I needn't have been worried, they appear to be driving them effortlessly. There is no gaps or shortfalls in the sound, it's rich, round, and full bodied just like a really good cup of coffee! For those sitting on the fence and considering replacing speakers, Martin Logan's are an absolute MUST in any speaker lineup you may be judging. These ESL 9's stack up next to speakers well over twice the price! Thank you Martin Logan for producing products of this calibre and continuing the heritage that I remember so well. Andrew Scott, New Zealand
I must agree with Jose! The Classic 9 is my first time owning an electrostatic, and after owning Klipschorns and vintage tube gear to power that system, I have moved on. Coupling the ESL 9's with a Parasound A-21 amp and P6 2.1 preamp was the pairing setup by my dealer (Safe and Sound - Chicopee, MA.) and I could not be happier! With that much power, these speakers match the Klipschorns in dynamic range right down to the DB-A response ! (I took notes, and the benchmark was set with the Klipschorns before I sold them). Incredible sound and image in my 18x24x8' dedicated listening space! Thank YOU Martin Logan for continuing to perfecting this 'exotic' speaker technology. ........Gary
All I can say is that wow these speakers had blown my mind away, they are very fast, articulate, very true to the system that is feeding them, they can play all kind of music with no problem, highly recommend.
Back in 2010, I upgraded my Klipsch RF-7 III to MartinLogan Purity Speakers. The transparency, depth of sound stage and purity of the music with the ML upgrade was startling. I further enhanced the sound by adding ARC Genesis room correction to the mix. My wife and I enjoyed the sound and look of the electrostatic speakers for 13 years. I was ready for an upgrade and read all of the reviews. At the time, I thought the ESL 9 was our of my price range. All of the reviews pointed to try the Revel F226BE which was on sale for an $1800 discount. I purchased and had a 60 day audition period with Crutchfield. Wow! The old Purity ESL still sounded better than the Revel. Revel is a good speaker but not in the league with an electrostatic. I returned the Revel and went for it (my wife wanted to send the Revel's back and get the ML) with the Classic ESL 9 and still used the ARC Genesis room correction. I am glad I did. The ESL 9 gives you goosebumps. Dynamic: These speakers hit you with a wall of sound! Deep Bass (verified flat to 35 Hz on ARC calibration), kick drums, guitar riffs, .......... They knock you out! The speakers do it with so much clarity (zero distortion) that you hear new details in the dynamic sound. Clarity: It is like a live performance (Metallica, Van Halen, Andrea Bocelli, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, .......). You name it. These ML's deliver. You get all of the nuances the sound engineers and performers want you to hear. Sound stage, low level dynamics, efficiency, ........ I can go on and on. The larger ESL panel line array is another big benefit. If you have a bigger room, the ESL 9 will play much louder and more efficient. I have a big open room and the ESL 9 effortlessly fill it with beautiful music (normal dome speakers lose 6 db of sound every doubling of distance, line arrays loose 3 db of sound every doubling). At our normal listening distance of 14 feet, the ESL 9 are incredible. The is an End Game speaker for me. Thank you MartinLogan.
