Custon Installation Equipment Reviews

Designer-oriented homeowners have steadily been moving away from large behemoth loudspeakers, opting for hidden solutions. However, for those enthusiasts that still like to show off their electronics, even loudspeakers are getting more stylish. With loudspeakers like MartinLogan's Feature, you can put back the WOW in your AV presentation. The Feature is a fully powered, high-resolution, electrostatic loudspeaker designed for use either on or off-wall for center, front, or surround channel applications. Pictured here it is being used as a center speaker with MartinLogan's breathtaking Purity floor standing electrostatic speakers that make their own statement.

The Feature is internally powered with a high-resolution, 150-watt switching amplifier. A standard RCA line-level input minimizes wire clutter by connecting directly to an AV receiver, a surround processor, or TV without the need for external amplifiers. Additionally, standard speaker-level connections are provided if external amplification is preferred.

A highly-sophisticated Vojtko™ crossover is used in conjunction with a state-of-the-art electrostatic transducer, neodymium soft-dome tweeter, dual low-distortion 5.25-inch woofers.

Providing fully powered loudspeakers allows MartinLogan, famous for their high-end performance, to simplify home theater while still delivering the highly recognizable MartinLogan sonic signature. They can serve as a significant upgrade in overall quality and performance when matched with the latest generation of televisions and DVD players equipped with built-in surround sound decoding and volume control.

The Feature retails for $1695 each but who said great style should be on a budget.
