MartinLogan is a loudspeaker manufacturer based in Lawrence, Kansas. MartinLogan - Motion XT Series 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker, Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter, 6. Applications: The MartinLogan Motion FX can used as a rear or side surround speaker in a home theater application for any size room. The Martin Logan speakers are ideal for anyone wanting high-quality surround sound speakers. Founded by Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan Sutherland, the company is best known for their extensive line of electrostatic speakers. The curved corner design of the Martin Logan Motion FX speaker enables it to be mounted on the wall, in a corner, or even used as a desktop speaker. In 2005, ShoreView Industries, a private-equity firm that also owns a stake in Paradigm, bought MartinLogan. For this review, MartinLogan sent me a 5.1-channel system based on the Motion SLM, a thin-profile on-wall speaker.lthough the Motion SLM (499.95 USD each) measures 25.3L x 6.4W by only 1.83 deep, the box it comes in is quite a bit bigger: 37L x 12W x 8D. Although the design staff is still based in Lawrence, much of the manufacturing has been moved to Paradigm’s facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.Įlectrostatic (ESL) speakers are renowned for the lightning-fast transients that audiophiles crave. The boxes for the five speakers took up a lot of space in my storage room. To the non-audiophile, electrostatic speakers simply look cool. However, they’re expensive to make - it’ll cost you about $2000 USD to take home a pair of the cheapest ESLs made by MartinLogan. MartinLogan recently introduced its Motion line of entry-level models, with traditional cabinets and conventional cone midrange-woofers. A single 5.25-inch paper cone woofer doped for stability and damping. What sets the Motions apart from most entry-level speakers is their tweeter, MartinLogan’s Folded Motion Tweeter (FMT), said to sound similar to electrostatic drivers. The Motion FX features dual Folded Motion tweeters in a wide dispersion configuration, powerful bass, and a folded reflex port in a compact, affordable package with stunning performance.

The boxes for the five speakers took up a lot of space in my storage room. There’s a reason for the big box, though - MartinLogan includes everything you need to mount the SLM (pronounced slim) any way you choose, including screws and drywall anchors. Or the SLM can be supported by a short stand, which also attaches to the back of the speaker.įor wall mounting, a thin bracket is provided with two mounting points that fit the keyholes on the speaker’s rear panel.
