BIG THANKS to @Youthman and RYAN from Ascend AV for putting this on! You guys killed it!

-Martin Logan Statement 40XW
Astounding performance from a monumental – but invisible – in-wall loudspeaker.
Forty drivers. Seven feet tall with a 52-inch stack of thin-film tweeters. It's the flagship of the Masterpiece CI Series. The Statement 40XW is an enormous, self-contained in-wall loudspeaker system using a super-efficient line-source design to deliver a massive dynamic attack in even the largest listening areas. And it's virtually invisible, taking up no floor space at all. Statement 40XW is an audio experience like no other—only from MartinLogan.

Sixteen lightning-fast Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters.
Sixteen 3.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber multi-section cone midrange drivers with Nomex® backers.
Eight timbre-matched 6.5-inch unidirectional carbon fiber multi-section cone woofers with Nomex® backers.
Proprietary Vojtko crossover networks seamlessly blend drivers across the full spectrum.
Phenolic baffle and acoustically-inert sealed back box enclosure that easily installs.
Low profile, paintable, micro-perf grilles vanish into any decor.

Statement 40XW: MartinLogan Performance, Built In
If your performance benchmark is MartinLogan's most ambitious floorstanding hybrid electrostatic loudspeakers, it's going to be quite a challenge to achieve that level of accuracy and impact in an in-wall speaker.

Challenge accepted. The Statement 40XW is a triumph of audio engineering. Its performance (and sheer size) rivals the very best of our electrostatic models, with full-on speed and high-frequency accuracy, incredibly detailed midrange, and lifelike deep bass impact. And yet it takes up absolutely no space in your room and vanishes into any decor.

It's an incredible sixteen tweeters, and sixteen mid-range drivers, and eight woofers, arrayed in a line-source design and built directly into your wall, delivering awe-inspiring levels of full-spectrum dynamic output even in the largest listening areas.

The keys to this performance are superior components and innovative design. The multi-driver design allows each driver and tweeter to operate with extreme efficiency. This combination of high-resolution drivers, each working to offset the demands on the others, results in a highly accurate and distortion-free performance, even during the most demanding sonic passages, and even at realistic volume levels. The large line-source design also ensures the same sonic impact over a large area of listening positions. There's no drop-off, as can be the case with smaller, point-source designs.

With each channel featuring a mind-boggling forty drivers, you simply have to hear the Statement 40XW to believe it.

The Benefits of Line Source Configuration
The line-source design, a tall vertical array of identical sets of drivers, shares significant characteristics with hybrid electrostatic loudspeakers—something we know a little about.

Like electrostatic speakers, line-source arrays restrict vertical dispersion, eliminating the majority of a room's performance-destroying sound reflections.

In the Statement 40XW, the combination of the natural 80-degree horizontal dispersion pattern of the Folded Motion XT tweeters, and the sheer 52-inch-tall cliff of vertical tweeters, minimizes side-wall, floor, and ceiling reflections whose short arrival times tend to interfere with our perception of "direct" sound.

The result is a broad, enveloping soundstage, with an accurate, lifelike rendering of the most subtle imaging details, even in an ample listening space.
