MartinLogan Crescendo X

 

The MartinLogan Crescendo X speaker looks and sounds amazing, but a sky-high price and some usability quirks hold it back.

Very expensive. Could be easier to use.

MartinLogan's high-end speakers are a thing of glory, delivering some of the best audio I've heard in my life. But all-in-one wireless audio systems are a different beast, and the Crescendo X feels like a first attempt. The results from an audio...
