With a host of ground breaking technological advances Summit
forever changes the landscape of high-performance audio.

Rendering large appliance size reference speakers a relic of
the past, MartinLogan has succeeded in reducing Summit’s
woofer enclosure size by 70 percent while increasing precision
and extension of bass performance. By concurrently designing
all elements of the bass reproduction chain MartinLogan engi­neers have specifically configured dual high-resolution 10-inch
aluminum cone woofers, independent 200-watt amplification
and a diminutive chamber, resulting in a bass performance
with precision, explosive dynamics, and usable extension
down to 24Hz—all from an enclosure not much larger than
a case of wine!

The Summit’s ultra-rigid AirFrame™ and revolutionary compact
XStat™ electrostatic transducer dramatically reduce the size of
the ESL support structure and stat panel, yet increase rigidity
and provide exceptional dynamics, magical sound staging
and superb off-axis performance.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in the USA, Summit
features a hand built, state of the art crossover, extruded and
billet aluminum frame construction, the industries highest quality
cabinet substrate, meticulously chosen hand-applied real wood
veneers and multiple layers of hand-rubbed lacquer.

Living in the shadow of the impressive Summit speaker is no easy
task. Vantage rises to the challenge by compressing Summit’s
groundbreaking ultra high-resolution XStat™, AirFrame™ and
PoweredForce™ technologies into a surprisingly compact pack­age and price.

Revealing every subtle nuance of recorded sound with unflinching
accuracy Vantage’s ultra rigid AirFrame and curvilinear XStat
electrostatic transducer reveal a magical performance and set
new listening standards for precision, dynamics and three-dimen­sional sound staging—all from an extremely compact stat panel.

Shockingly powerful and accurate bass results from Vantage’s
concurrently 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 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 frame elements.
