“IThe Classic ESL 9s are arguably the best loudspeaker I have ever heard...”

“The midrange was ultraclear, revealing details in recordings that I’d never heard
before, and the highs were equally clean, and never harsh. The bass was also very
deep and fast-hitting, without bloat” – Roger Kanno

[Translated from French] “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
