The Martin Logan Statement 40XW is an enormous, self-contained in-wall loudspeaker system designed with a super-efficient line-source array of forty drivers per channel: sixteen Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters, sixteen 3.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber midrange drivers with Nomex backers, and eight 6.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber woofers with Nomex backers. This multi-driver design allows each driver to operate efficiently, resulting in highly accurate, distortion-free performance even at realistic volume levels. The tall vertical line-source array restricts vertical dispersion, minimizing room reflections and ensuring consistent sonic impact over a large listening area. It features a phenolic baffle and acoustically inert sealed back box enclosure, custom air core coil inductors, polypropylene film capacitors, and low DF electrolytic capacitors in the crossover network. The speaker is designed for in-wall installation with a low-profile, paintable micro-perf grille that blends into any decor. It weighs 150 lb (68.1 kg) and requires a minimum wall cavity of 14.5 inches width, 89 inches height, and 3.5 inches depth. Suitable for amplifiers rated 50–800 watts, it can handle up to 400 watts of power. The impedance is 4 ohms, compatible with 4, 6, or 8 ohm rated amplifiers. Frequency response is 48–25,000 Hz ±3 dB, with a sensitivity of 95 dB @ 2.83 volts/meter. The crossover frequencies are approximately 300 Hz and 2700 Hz. Binding post inputs are push style with two sets for easier installation. The Statement 40XW rivals Martin Logan's best electrostatic floor-standing models in speed, accuracy, and bass impact, while occupying no floor space and integrating seamlessly into walls.
