American firm, MartinLogan that has set their footings firmly in the world of electrostatic speakers has recently announced the availability of its affordable electrostatic speakers. dubbed the Theos, this speaker system is the entry level tower speakers from MartinLogan that sports a 111.8 by 23.4 cm (44 by 9.2 inches) electrostatic panel. the minimalistic, contemporary speakers feature a wooden base which also houses a 8-inch aluminum-cone woofer (down-firing).

as the name suggests, the speakers generate sound via electrostatic technology. in this technology, sound is created when static electricity moves thin piece of film back and forth which enables it to produce a more detail and transparent music. however, in this sound reproduction technique, lower frequencies are not as pronounced and hence, woofers are incorporated to boost that department.

the MartinLogan Theos Electrostatic Speakers will be available in three hand-rubbed wood finishes (black ash, dark cherry and zebra wood) and will set you back at US$4,995 a pair. obviously, you can’t grab these speakers online but they will be available via your local MartinLogan’s distributors.
