Vantage

Vista™
Revealing every subtle nuance of recorded sound with
unflinching accuracy—Vantage’s ultra rigid AirFrame and
curvilinear XStat electrostatic transducer reveal a magical
performance with precision, dynamics and 3-dimensional
sound staging—all from an extremely compact stat panel.
Powerful and accurate bass results from Vantage’s concur-
rently designed PoweredForce 8-inch aluminum cone woofer,
200-watt high-resolution amplifier, and precision acoustic
control cabinet design. Additionally, the simple turn of a 35Hz
equalization knob allows precision low-end calibration to
optimize speaker/room integration.
MartinLogan electronic specialists hand-build each Vantage
crossover utilizing only the finest of components and construction
techniques to assure the cleanest, most precise signal path
possible. Vantage features real wood veneers, multiple layers
of hand-rubbed lacquer, and extruded aluminum elements.

Incorporating ultra-high-resolution XStat™ and AirFrame™
technologies originally developed for the Summit speaker,
Vista is capable of an exceptionally dynamic and realistic
performance. An 8-inch aluminum cone woofer, super-dense
compact cabinet, bi-wirable toolless binding posts, and
Energy Transfer Coupler spikes further reinforce Vista's
high-end pedigree. The result? A stellar performer at an
exceptional price.
Key to Vista’s exceptional performance is our advanced XStat
electrostatic panel, which covers most of the audible range,
from the midrange to beyond the limit of human hearing,
with unprecedented accuracy, low-level sonic detail, and
efficiency. A perfectly integrated, MartinLogan engineered
aluminum cone woofer supplies an authoritative bass
performance with extreme precision.
MartinLogan’s state-of-the-art custom toroidal audio trans-
former and crossover engineering ensure an absolutely
transparent link from amplifier to electrostatic panel and
woofer. Using polypropylene capacitors and MartinLogan’s
own air-core coils, Vista’s crossover employs MartinLogan’s
proprietary Vojtko™ topology for vanishingly low distortion
and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network
preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while
handling the full dynamics of any source with unparalleled
purity, precision, clarity, and openness.
