A MASTERFUL CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE. There are no illusions

about the performance of the Illusion ESL C34A. A center channel
speaker is the most important speaker in a multi-channel audio
system, tasked with reproducing the most important audio information
for imaging and realism: cinematic dialogue, anchoring effects, and
a large portion of the front stage speaker information. This ultimate
performance floorstanding center channel loudspeaker blurs the
lines between performance and reality by combining the dynamics
of a 34-inch wide XStat CLS electrostatic transducer with the detailed
imaging capability of MartinLogan’s exclusive Folded Motion XT
tweeters. Four laser-engineered 6.5-inch woofers, driven by 250 watts
of clean amplification with on-board Anthem Room Correction (ARC™)
Technology, anchor the image to your screen and deliver big cinema
impact. New technology joined with proven innovation produces a
center channel loudspeaker unlike any other.
