Martin Logan LX16 Bookshelf Speakers Black Cherry Finish

Incredible new bookshelf monitors from Martin Logan that will knock your sox off at this price point!! These are a brand new demo pair in mint condition. We had to hear what all the fuss was about so we unboxed them and let them warm up for a few hours. WOW.... This one has it all - silky detailed highs, full sweet midrange and very impressive bass for a speaker just 11" high! The first reviews on this new model are coming out and you can expect to see more accolades for this terrific design.

"let me just say that the LX16 have really fantastic transient response, which means they produce well articulated, highly textural, engaging and realistic sound. I often end up complaining about spitty, harsh and unrealistically bright treble coming from the speakers and headphones I review. I think this is because so many manufacturers are trying to achieve a certain sound without having the right materials or technology to make it happen. In their effort to fake it, we end up with crappy treble. Simply put, the LX16 do right what so many other speakers get wrong.

Fortunately, the accolades don’t stop with the tweeter. The midrange response of this speaker is remarkably natural, easy-going and big, too. I listened to some live bootleg tracks of Marc Broussard and his band that were ripped right off the soundboard at the gig. With no post-processing getting in the way, the sound of the track is as close as we’re likely to get to listening directly to a microphone’s output. Broussard’s husky vocals came through the LX16 with stunning purity and clarity. We kept listening for a bit of a hump in the upper midbass, but it never came."
