The MartinLogan Aeon features a 37" Generation 2 CLS electrostatic transducer that reproduces frequencies above 450 Hz without crossover networks, delivering seamless, richly detailed sound. It pairs this with an 8" high excursion dynamic woofer in a bass reflex design to provide dramatic bass extension down to 43 Hz. The speaker includes a switchable Natural Ambience Compensation (NAC) system to adjust sound dispersion for either precise imaging or enhanced room coverage. It has a sensitivity of 89 dB, nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and is compatible with 4, 6, or 8 ohm amplifiers. The enclosure measures 58" x 10" x 16" and weighs 55.5 lbs. The Aeon is designed to deliver natural, accurate sound with a compact footprint and advanced electrostatic technology.
