Recommended by The Absolute Sound's 2016 Buyers Guide to Loudspeakers"Easily One of the Best"XT stands for extreme, and for good reason. MartinLogan's Motion 60XT speakers play louder, lower, and with unflinching accuracy. Dual 8" woofers and rear-firing bass ports create astonishing deep, precise bass, while a dedicated mid woofer promotes an open, revealing and authentic midrange. Pairing this powerful trio with MartinLogan's most accurate Folded Motion XT tweeter creates audible acoustic alchemy. It delivers an engaging and encompassing experience, cutting straight to the emotion locked inside your favorite recordings. "I Could Easily Adopt Them As My Reference""The 60XTs are so impressive I could easily adopt them as my reference," reports David Martson in The Absolute Sound's 2016 Buyers Guide to Loudspeakers. "They are a 'must audition' for anyone interested in natural and realistic sound that will continue to satisfy and impress for a very long time. Highly recommended." "The strengths included great imaging, excellent bass and midbass presentation," notes Jared Rachwalski, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, March 2015. "The speakers would do very well in a home theater setup, as they have great dynamic range and integrate well with subwoofers... All and all they are a well-built, elegant speaker worthy of audition." "The Motion 60XT is easily one of the best speakers I’ve tested, delivering incredibly lifelike tonality and imaging," raves Brent Butterworth, HomeTheaterReview.com, February 2015. "The Motion 60XT definitely delivers the magic that audiophiles always seek but too often fail to achieve." Folded Motion XT TweeterMartinLogan's new low distortion Folded Motion XT tweeter boasts a radiating surface 40% larger than those found in the company's award-winning Motion Series products. The XT uses thin film transducer technology which draws from the company's acclaimed electrostatic driver designs. MartinLogan's exclusive and highly innovative Folded Motion Tweeter delivers fantastically realistic highs. Lightning fast transient response, combined with a large surface area (eight-times that of a typical 1" dome tweeter) creates clear, highly dynamic, and precise sound. The Folded Motion Tweeter works by moving air (which creates sound) perpendicular to the folded ridges of the diaphragm, similar to how an accordion works. This extremely low mass diaphragm 'squeezes' air and requires almost 90 percent less excursion than the typical 1" dome tweeter, which drastically minimizes distortion while providing a lighting fast response time. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet controlled sound dispersion to create a realistic and carefully etched sound stage. MartinLogan Motion Series SpeakersInspired by MartinLogan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, the Motion Series was created to provide stunning sound for ultimate-performance home theater or stereo. MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineers carefully crafted the Motion Series to create an extremely affordable and compact product line that seamlessly blends the exquisite Folded Motion™ transducers with powerful, compact bass technology. The result is a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity. Each floorstanding speaker model feature dual sets of custom five-way binding posts for bi-wire/bi-amp capabilities and powerful rear-firing bass port. Stability is enhanced to create tighter coupling between speaker and floor with the included spikes. Motion 60XT speakers are available in Piano Black and Black Cherrywood finishes.
"The 60XTs are so impressive I could easily adopt them as my reference. Listening to the them was tantamount to a physical addiction for me! They are a 'must audition' for anyone interested in natural and realistic sound that will continue to satisfy and impress for a very long time. Highly recommended." - David Martson, The Absolute Sound's 2016 Buyers Guide to Loudspeakers "I generally find too often that a home theater system can be riddled with poor compromises when it comes to playing music; that’s why I have completely separate systems for two-channel and multichannel listening. The MartinLogan package does a pretty convincing job of straddling that divide, working quite effectively with both music and movies when set up appropriately... you’re really getting a whole lot of speaker for your hard-earned money... (the FoldedMotion tweeter is) an impressive achievement in itself, giving the Motion XT speakers a decisive advantage in clarity over many conventional designs. When you couple that with the allure of the aluminum cone woofers and midrange drivers, as well as the Motion’s chic sense of styling, the overall package has great appeal. 'Truth in Sound,' indeed." – - Michael Trei, Sound&Vison, October 2015 "The strengths included great imaging, excellent bass and midbass presentation... The speakers would do very well in a home theater setup, as they have great dynamic range and integrate well with subwoofers... All and all they are a well-built, elegant speaker worthy of audition." - Jared Rachwalski, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, March 2015 "These are just really easy speakers to listen to... Nothing seemed artificial. Nothing seemed colored. Nothing was distracting. Most of all, the tweeter didn’t sound like a certain type of tweeter; it didn’t have the typical mellowness of a soft dome, nor the occasional hyped-up detail of a metal dome. It just sounded natural... the Motion 60XT is easily one of the best speakers I’ve tested, delivering incredibly lifelike tonality and imaging... the Motion 60XT definitely delivers the magic that audiophiles always seek but too often fail to achieve." - Brent Butterworth, HomeTheaterReview.com, February 2015 |
