What You Need to Know

The Full Motion Tower Experience—in a Room-Friendly Size

The MartinLogan Motion F10 is the shortest tower MartinLogan builds, standing just over 38 inches tall—yet it’s a genuine three-way design carrying the full-size Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion tweeter, a woven fiberglass midrange in its own sealed chamber, and twin aluminum woofers loaded by a bottom-firing bass port.

It’s the entry point to MartinLogan’s true Motion tower line, and the right answer for rooms where a five-foot speaker simply won’t work.

Available in Walnut, Gloss Black, or Satin White, and sold individually.

The Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter

MartinLogan’s Folded Motion tweeter pleats a lightweight film diaphragm and squeezes air between the folds rather than pushing it like a dome. Motion is minimal, distortion is low, and transients are extraordinarily fast—the airy, electrostatic-flavored treble that defines the brand.

The F10 gets the full-size 9.2 square inch Gen2 driver with its upgraded motor structure—not the smaller tweeter used in entry-level towers—paired with the Folded Motion Waveguide, chosen from nearly 50 design candidates to match the midrange’s dispersion for a room-friendly 90° by 90° pattern.

A Dedicated Midrange, Sealed and Silent

A 5.5-inch woven fiberglass cone—light, stiff, and quick enough to keep pace with the Folded Motion tweeter—handles the midrange from its own non-resonant sealed chamber. Isolated from woofer pressure, vocals and instruments emerge clean and uncolored, the advantage a true three-way holds over the two-way towers it competes with.

Twin Woofers and the Single Cannon Bass Port

Two 5.5-inch aluminum-cone woofers with unibody construction work in a non-resonant asymmetrical chamber, vented downward through MartinLogan’s Single Cannon bass port. Because the port fires through the base rather than out the back, the F10 delivers deeper, cleaner bass with far more placement freedom than a rear-ported design—useful in exactly the rooms this speaker is sized for.

Floor Bounce Compensation completes the tuning, with woofer placement and crossover behavior designed around the floor reflection instead of ignoring it.

The McCracken-Vojtko Crossover

Named for MartinLogan’s acoustic engineers, the 280Hz and 3,000Hz crossover was developed with proprietary measurement and simulation software, then refined through double-blind listening tests—the maestro that weaves five drivers into one voice.

Details That Matter

Custom bi-amp/bi-wire capable 5-way binding posts give you connection flexibility as your system grows. F.A.S.T. outrigger feet adjust and level from above without tools, with both spikes and rubber feet included. Secure-Lock grilles mount over each driver with hidden tabs and rotate so you can align the fabric grain—or come off entirely for critical listening.

Building Your System

At 92dB sensitivity and 4 ohms nominal, the F10 is comfortable with anything from 20 to 250 watts, and its high sensitivity makes the most of modest amplifiers. One reviewer summed it up as “a real riot of a listen… like much bigger speakers, but with all the information easy to follow.”

For home theater, match it with the Motion C10 center, B10 bookshelf, and MP10 on-wall speakers, and add a MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofer for the deepest effects. Backed by a 5-year parts and labor warranty with registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these sold in pairs?
Each F10 is priced and sold individually—order two for stereo, or add matching Motion series models to build a complete home theater.

How does it compare to the Motion F20?
The F20 is a taller cabinet with larger 6.5-inch woofers, reaching 35Hz and handling up to 300 watts. The F10 shares the same tweeter, midrange, and three-way architecture in a notably more compact package—the choice when room size or décor rules out a full-height tower.

How does it compare to the Motion Foundation F2?
The F10 steps up to the full-size 9.2 in² Gen2 Obsidian tweeter (versus Foundation’s smaller Tweeter S), a woven fiberglass midrange, a bottom-firing port, and bi-wire capable binding posts—real hardware upgrades, not just a bigger badge.

Do I need a subwoofer?
For music, often not—38Hz covers most recordings. For home theater’s lowest effects, a MartinLogan Dynamo subwoofer fills in the bottom octave.
