Offered is „Ethos“ by Martin Logan as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3606277455 ends on 09.12.2026 at 20:25 o'clock.
MartinLogan’s Ethos remains a particularly accomplished hybrid electrostatic: a serious step up from conventional floorstanders for openness, imaging, and midrange clarity. At €2,500, this is a strong deal, sitting below the €2,524 25th-percentile comparable and well under the €2,548 median; it is priced like a genuine buying opportunity rather than merely fair value.
The appeal is its unusually transparent, coherent presentation, expansive soundstage, and fast, articulate electrostatic panel, backed by a powered woofer for useful low-end weight. The built-in amplification and DSP also make it easier to achieve convincing bass than with many passive electrostatics. Before committing, confirm both panels operate evenly, the powered woofers and DSP controls function correctly, and the original bases, grilles, and power cables are included. At this price, a clean, complete pair deserves prompt attention.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MartinLogan emerged in the late 1970s from Lawrence, Kansas, when Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan Sutherland, sharing a passion for electrostatic loudspeakers, united their engineering and design expertise. The duo, whose middle names inspired the brand, unveiled their breakthrough at the 1983 CES with the Monolith—the world's first practical hybrid electrostatic speaker, blending a curved panel for mids and highs with a dynamic woofer for bass. This American innovation addressed longstanding electrostatic limitations like fragility and poor low-end response, propelling the company from a high-end audio store collaboration to a dedicated manufacturing powerhouse.
The brand specializes in electrostatic and hybrid speakers, from flagship floorstanders like the CLX and Summit X to more accessible Motion Series designs, alongside complementary powered subwoofers and select electronics. Their proprietary thin-film transducers, advanced panel assembly, and room-optimized engineering define a lineup that prioritizes transparency and precision over conventional dynamic drivers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, MartinLogan commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its unwavering commitment to electrostatic purity, delivering ethereal soundstaging and timbral accuracy that make cabinets vanish. Now part of the PML group alongside Paradigm and Anthem, it blends Kansas heritage with rigorous innovation, appealing to buyers seeking reference-level realism in home audio and theater systems.
