Overrated; Martin Logan  Electromotion ESL, on a demo they hooted and buzzed at me, and got real confused. Partner with me said exactly the same. Following this demo immediately with Focal Electra 1038 Be which were several leagues above the ML, and I bought them. Not that I dislike electrostatic sound having owned Quad ESL 63's for 10 years and Cadence Aristas for a further 10, but the sound produced at demo by the ML's was really below expectations. Could have been the rest of the gear, but in common with most hi-fi demos they surround the gear you are interested in with top end kit.
