The Ascent replaces the older SL3 in the MartinLogan product line and incorporates trickle-down technology found on the ungodly expensive $70,000 per pair MartinLogan Statement E2 and the more sensible $11,000 per pair MartinLogan Prodigy speakers. The Ascent shares the new aesthetic design of the Prodigy speakers. The ESL portion of the speaker is detached from the woofer and slightly forward from the cabinet. There is also a small red led light visible through the bottom of the panel’s grille. The bottom border of the grille features a small, attractive stylized silver M. Other than the above, the Ascent is aesthetically similar to past MartinLogan speakers and comes with a wide variety of trim panel options to suit nearly every interior. The Ascent is fairly large at 64 inches tall, 13 inches wide and 22 inches deep, weighing in at 72 pounds. The driver array simply consists of a 48-inch visually transparent line source electrostatic panel and one 10-inch dynamic bass driver. The given frequency range is 35 Hz to 22 kHz. The speaker is bi-wireable. The Theater has a convex horizontal design, featuring an electrostatic midrange panel flanked by two six-and-a-half-inch drivers, one on each side. The high end is augmented by a center-mounted vertical pod of three one-inch tweeters. This center-mounted pod is directly in front of the apex of the midrange panels and has the M logo on its bottom. This tweeter design is said to control high-frequency dispersion over a wide horizontal axis. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Local delivery is available.
