The Martin Logan CLX represents the culmination of decades of electrostatic technology development since 1983. It features dual electrostatic transducers including the CLS XStat electrostatic transducer for high/mid frequencies and the DualForce double diaphragm, triple stator dipole low-frequency electrostatic transducer for deep, dynamic bass. The CLX uses advanced vacuum bonding and MicroPerf stat panels for greater efficiency and precision. Its low-frequency dipole stabilization technology reduces rear wave cancellation, increasing output and minimizing distortion. The speaker is designed for large rooms and can be used in stereo or home theater front applications. It includes a precision Vojtko crossover with high-quality components and custom binding posts. The CLX delivers a frequency response of 56–23,000 Hz ±3dB, sensitivity of 90 dB/2.83 volts/meter, and impedance compatible with 4, 6, or 8 Ohm amplifiers. It weighs 110 lbs and measures 70.32" x 25.75" x 14.69". The CLX was discontinued with a price around and is considered one of the finest full-range electrostatic speakers available.
