MARTIN LOGAN ASCENT "EXORCIST" - Any info ?

[toda]

Greetings. MARTIN LOGAN ASCENT "EXORCIST" ?... Does anyone ever heard or experiment these ? Photo attached. Can't find them on the online actual Martin Logan site... They look 15" speakers... Any information regarding characteristics (impedance, pressure sensitivity, year of production, catalog...) would be much appreciated ! Thanks in advance. Serge

That is an oddity. I didn't know M-L made all dynamic speakers.

I believe those speakers are by Martin USA, not Martin Logan. Martin is still around, but I didn't find a picture of that model on their website: http://www.martinspeakersusa.com/

Speaker brand - Martin USA - Any info ?

@Richpa and Grainger49 : thanks for fast contributions.

The seller said first they are MARTIN LOGAN but now he seems not sure of anything.

"Oddity" you said ? Ok why but which brand ? Martin USA then ?

Looking at the picture closely, there is a badge which says "MARTIN" but the picture is not accurate enough to tell the rest.

These are UFO so far... Mr Martin...are you there watching ? Can you help ?

Thanks,

I beleive the M-L "Ascent" is a planar speaker.

I beleive the M-L "Ascent" is a planar speaker.

Yeah, that confused me and I Googled it. They are electrostatic. Maybe that is what the OP was pointing out. I just didn't get it. I'm getting old.

This is it, what is posted isn't an Ascent. Or it isn't from THE Martin-Logan.
