“Let me say it up front: The Impression 11A with its built-in ARC
engaged has provided the best bass response I’ve ever heard in
my room in the areas of overall smoothness of response and of
clarity, definition, and pitch differentiation.” – Paul Seydor

“The MartinLogan Impression shows how the evolution path of electrostatic speakers
has improved the technology to the point where it is nearly flawless in its performance.
They now have low bass that matches the speed of the panel’s immaculately, focused
midrange/treble, and they can be played much louder than the original ‘stats. The big
selling point, however, is that gorgeous spread of sound. That space impression and the
ability to convey the finer details of music — it all helps deliver on the promise of musical
realism through the speaker.” – John Gatski

“Martin Logan loudspeakers in general have always had unbelievable transparency and
spatial rendering that has to be heard to be appreciated. However, with the Impression
ESL 11A, the company has taken a significant step forward. This is not only the most
coherent hybrid electrostatic loudspeaker yet, but they also produce the absolutely best
bass that I have ever heard in my listening room, period!” – Christiaan Punter

[Translated from German] “All this made the MartinLogan Impression ESL 11A in
the important disciplines of neutrality and detail reach sensationally with the great
Renaissance. Their larger foil area, however, still gave them tiny advantages in spatial
imaging. The more voluminous woofers were able to produce even richer levels with
even deeper bass.” – Lothar Brandt

“The MartinLogan ESL 11A is a world-class speaker. It is revealing, accurate and has the
huge soundstage one expects of a dipole radiator. The speaker can sound good with
modest source components, but to hear it at its best, use the highest-quality sources and
amplifiers that you can provide.” – Glenn Young
Finish shown: Gloss White
