Offered is „CLX“ 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 2492973781 ends on 08.11.2026 at 11:15 o'clock.
€7,500 is a strong buy for a CLX if the panels are healthy and the electronics are untouched. These launched around €20k+ a pair and sat in the very high-end tier, so this asking price is well below original cost and, in today’s used market, looks more like an opportunity than an ambitious ask.
What you’re buying is one of MartinLogan’s most admired all-electrostatic designs: huge transparency, laser-focused imaging, and that uncanny “disappearing speaker” effect when set up properly. The upside is biggest if the pair is complete, well cared for, and ideally comes from a careful owner with proof of panel condition. The main buyer check is age-related wear on the stat panels and whether setup, packing, and transport can be handled safely.
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.
