Martin Logan Neolith, le casse elettrostatiche ibride
Prendete le Martin Logan Statement Evolution 2, unitele alle Monolith della stessa azienda, frullate bene e… ecco le casse elettrostatiche ibride Neolith.
Presentate lo scorso maggio al MOC, cominciano a fare capolino sui mercati internazionali le casse acustiche elettrostatiche ibride Martin Logan Neolith.
Si tratta della sintesi della ricerche che hanno portato alla realizzazione dei modelli Statement Evolution 2 e Monolith, queste ultime risalenti al 1983.
Le Martin Logan Neolith usano un trasduttore elettrostatico da 56×122 cm con una superficie radiale del 35% più ampia di quanto ottenuto con le Statement Evolution 2. Per ovviare alla cronica carenza di bassi delle casse elettrostatiche, le Neolith montano un woofer da 31 cm (in id-woofer, in verità).
Martin Logan dichiara che le Neolith sono in grado di scendere fino a 23 Hz!!!
Single wire o bi-amp: la scelta è all’utente, che sarà in grado di pilotare in scioltezza questi diffusori sia con amplificatori allo stato solido, sia valvolari.
Il prezzo è importante almeno tanto quanto questa realizzazione e sfiora i 70.000 euro.
