Asking $350.  Martin Logan Grotto Subwoofer in nice condition. I just sold my Source Speakers so this goes to another ML fan. This is the same driver and controls as the $2,400 Martin Logan triple-driver Descent. This is not the 'i' version; some feel the original Grotto non-i version was superior build and higher quality sound. Tight musical sub with a small form factor and ideal for blending with electrostatic panels of a musical cone speaker like Merlin TSM and VSM.   Superior for a modest room (14' X 18' X 8' living room shook the house). Has abbreviated PEQ @25 Hz to raise or lower that frequency (e.g., electronica, dub, hip-hop and movies of course).

It is in nice condition with no major flaws except a small dent here and there that is only visible on close inspection. A '7' rating is conservative as always in my ads. Pictures should be hi-rez; like all my ads.

All offers always considered.  Local Pickup in Philly Burbs (West Chester 19380) or City-Line Bala Cynwyd (19096). I could consider shipping to truly interested parties who are prepared to make a firm offer to buy--to whom I will provide an exact shipping quote but highly prefer a local pickup for now. All offers considered.

The world's most affordable servo-controlled subwoofer, Grotto proves that a precise, compact subwoofer can have the heart of a beast.

Grotto combines explosive bass power with servo-controlled accuracy and precision in a surprisingly compact cabinet at a perhaps even more surprisingly affordable price. At its core are the same high-resolution 10-inch aluminum-cone driver used in our flagship Descent subwoofer and a proprietary advanced-design amplifier. Easy to set up and sporting an attractive contemporary look, Grotto integrates comfortably into any room and system.
