As a former very enthusiastic owner of 4 different pairs of Martin Logan speakers, I have been very puzzled during the past several years as the company has reduced its dealership network, brought out a seemingly endless string of low and lower price speakers and seemingly laying the groundwork to abandon the high end. Even at CES this year they were pushing their lower price products.
I am aware that several years back Paradigm bought the company and has been making changes that suggest that they are looking to make Paradigm the more prestigious line. BUT, I must say that I was totally unprepared to see that the ML CLX 25th Anniversary advertised in Audio Advisor for $14,999.98 per pair, a discount of $10,000.02 from a company that is famous for cutting off dealers for discounting more than 3-5%.
Anybody have an insights as to what is going on with this once venerable company?
