Incorporating ultra-high-resolution XStat™ and AirFrame™ technologies originally developed for the Summit speaker, Vista is capable of an exceptionally dynamic and realistic performance. An 8-inch aluminum cone woofer, super-dense compact cabinet, bi-wirable toolless binding posts, and Energy Transfer Coupler spikes further reinforce Vista's high- end pedigree. The result? A stellar performer at an exceptional price.
Key to Vista’s exceptional performance is our advanced XStat electrostatic panel, which covers most of the audible range, from the midrange to beyond the limit of human hearing, with unprecedented accuracy, low-level sonic detail, and efficiency. A perfectly integrated, MartinLogan engineered
al umi nu m co n e w oof e r s upp l ies an aut hori tat ive bas s performance with extreme precision.
MartinLogan’s state-of-the-art custom toroidal audio trans­form er an d crossover engineering ensure an abs olu tel y transp arent link from amplifier to electrostatic panel and woofer. Using polypropylene capacitors and MartinLogan’s own air-core coils, Vista’s crossover employs MartinLogan’s proprietary Vojtko™ topology for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source with unparalleled purity, precision, clarity, and openness.
