Award-Winning Performance
"[T]hese MartinLogans reign supreme in their realm. So, throw on your favorite tunes, give these a spin, and let them serenade their way into your shortlist—because, honestly, there isn't much competition for these audio maestros! This is why the MartinLogan XT F100s won our 2023 Mid-Price Tower Speaker of the Year!" raves Matthew Poes, audioholics.com, December 22, 2023.
"With their high style and wonderful sonic performance, I was very impressed with the MartinLogan XT F100 towers and highly recommend them to anyone that is ready to take their music experience to the next level without sacrificing their kid’s college tuition," notes Jim Milton, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, August 2, 2023.
"I know a few $10K pairs of speakers that don’t perform as well as the XT F100s. These speakers are an amazing bargain from a cost/performance ratio. I loved them. Highly recommended," Jim Milton concludes.
"Attention-Grabbing Definition and Chest-Thumping Bass"
"With attention-grabbing definition and chest-thumping bass, these classy floorstanders from a well-regarded brand present a bargain worth considering. Wide-ranging room placement options and well isolated feet mean even apartment dwellers might consider the MartinLogan XT F100s as a worthwhile option," reports Jason Methfessel in a review for The Absolute Sound YouTube channel, July 12, 2025.
"These speakers presented a relatively large sound space. The soundstage, too, was substantial in size, and the Motion XTs effortlessly disappeared. It was really remarkable how these speakers were able to keep the image off themselves, even projecting performers behind the speakers on more well-recorded cuts."
"Better Than Anything I've Heard at This Price Range"
"The low end plays deep, fast, textural bass. The midrange is free from cabinet resonances, making it the clearest rendition of female and male vocals that I think I've ever heard," reports TheBenzor in a February 24, 2023 review for r/audiophile on reddit.com.
"I have to say that they're better than anything I've heard at this price range or 2x higher. The build quality is excellent. The tool-less leveling feet are awesome. These can easily play low enough to not require a sub."
Motion Series Speakers
The Motion Series is MartinLogan's most ambitious acoustic and aesthetic development in the company's 40-year history. Motion defines elegance and performance by leveraging exclusive technologies and decades of experience. The result is a loudspeaker collection that is not just an upgrade of its predecessor, but also a whole new level of quality and excellence.
MartinLogan speakers are known for their exceptional articulation, detail, and realism, regardless of the listening environment. By using advanced thin-film technologies and Controlled Dispersion, MartinLogan delivers a unique and unparalleled listening experience that is not commonly found in other speakers.
Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion® Tweeter XT
The Gen2 Obsidian FMT XT Tweeter has been upgraded with a larger motor to provide higher output and lower distortion. The FMT XT offers the most effortless and detailed sound in the Motion range with a 40% increase in surface area over our signature FMT. Outside of MartinLogan's legendary Electrostatic speakers, these new tweeters provide our cleanest, most detailed and accurate high frequency presentation to date.
Folded Motion® Waveguide
After an extensive evaluation of nearly 50 design options, the Folded Motion® Waveguide profile was meticulously chosen to harmoniously align with the dispersion of the midrange drivers, resulting in enhanced output. The waveguide guarantees consistent sound quality regardless of the listener's position and minimizes unwanted room reflections. Proper waveguide design is crucial, as it helps control the sound's dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sound is evenly distributed across the listening area and resulting in optimal sound quality.
Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® Midrange
The Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® Mid-bass offers a perfect balance of light weight, strength, anti-resonance, and anti-ringing properties for unparalleled sound quality. When combined with the Gen2 Obsidian FMT XT, its clarity of vocals, dialog, and instrumental accuracy are unmatched at any volume. The seamless integration with Motion® XT CI products makes creating custom solutions effortless.
Aluminum Bass Drivers
The exceptional characteristics of aluminum make it an ideal choice for bass drivers. When paired with oversized motor structures and a downward-firing port, the new Motion® speakers are extremely easy to place in any room while providing outstanding bass performance at any volume.
F.A.S.T. Outrigger Feet
The tower models in the Motion® Series are designed with tool-less height adjustability in mind, using the included rubber feet or spikes, which enables the user to effortlessly level the speaker for optimal stability on any floor. Additionally, the built-in anti-vibration properties reduce the transfer of energy from the speaker to the floor, resulting in lower distortion and coloration, providing a more accurate and detailed sound.
