But hey, it's still great news, and available in Amazon Prime as well.

I sell their products, and the quality, performance, and support of the company is lightyears beyond virtually anything else out there. The people from MartinLogan I deal with are the nicest, smartest, and most-dedicated I have come across. These are people who actually love speakers, music, and movies, not people out to make a quick buck. Think SVS levels of obsession.

Remember, their cheapest 5.1 system is still over $3,000 (for 5 in-ceilings and a sub) - they are not making HTiB systems or that sort of stuff.

Also, what you call a 'no longer high-end' company just re released the CLX, not exactly a little toy of a speaker.]]>Jun 4th 2008 1:59PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/
As for the priced per each thing... alot of high end speakers are sold like that for home theater use. Obviously the two-channel guys aren't gonna price them that way, but the people who realize that surround sound is a good thing price them per each.

I'm glad to see that they've kept the ESL line exclusive though... It sucks for the custom dealers when a company starts selling online...]]>Jun 4th 2008 5:24PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/
I can buy a $250,000 Patek Philippe online from a grey market dealer - does that make Patek Philippe low end?

Its funny that as a bunch of computer literate people, we generally love to buy things online - yet now that something nice is being sold online with the blessing of the manufacturer and from a good retailer (Amazon), its now considered bad. Huh?]]>Jun 4th 2008 9:45PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/06/04/martinlogan-speakers-formally-come-to-amazon/
