Enjoy brilliant audio with this floor speaker that features an 8" high-excursion, doped fiber woofer cone for booming lows and a 34" Xstat Curvilinear Line Source (CLS) electrostatic transducer with 292 sq. in. of radiating surface for amazing sound.
Overhaul your sound system with this MartinLogan Motion SLM XL speaker. Two 4-inch high-excursion fiber cone woofers and four passive bass radiators help you feel the beat with powerful but detailed bass. This MartinLogan Motion SLM XL speaker has a Folded Motion tweeter that delivers accurate high and mid-range tones.
The flagship of the series, and largest “LCR” model in the Motion XT CI series includes a unique feature that brings its performance level up even higher. In addition to the FMT XT tweeter, and dual 6.5” woven Kevlar Nomex-backed bass drivers, the XTW6-LCR has a dedicated 6.5” midrange driver that elevates its acoustic performance to rival that of traditional floor standing speakers. With a rotating tweeter housing, the XTW6-LCR can be used horizontally when needed, and is the perfect choice for systems desiring a higher level of performance without the large footprint of a tower speaker. The MartinLogan Motion XT CI series takes performance to the next level over Motion CI. The Folded Motion XT tweeter gives each model in the Motion XT series even more of the clarity, output, and efficiency that the standard size FMT is famous for. With Motion XT, we wanted to increase all aspects of performance over the Motion series, so we didn’t just stop at the tweeter. All Motion XT models feature woven Kevlar woofers for increased rigidity and lightness which translates into better sound. In addition to the larger tweeter, and lighter, stronger woofers, MartinLogan’s design and engineering team has fitted the Motion XT series with a more substantial chassis to strengthen the speaker and provide a more accurate sound, like a better cabinet on a traditional speaker. With Motion XT CI, the difference is in the details. No matter which Motion XT CI speaker you choose for your room, rest assured they are designed to provide a consistently high level of performance and can easily be used with other MartinLogan speakers to make creating the perfect system for your unique listening space that much easier.

Thin film sound that is amazing!
These speakers are just amazing. Highs that I never heard before with my prior system just jump out at you. You’ll need to pair these with a sub as the bass is a bit weak, but why would you not have a sub anyway???

One you hear an electrostat, you will want them
Simply the best speaker I purchased to date. It's fast, articulate and looks good on the wall. Electrostats have a sound signature that is unique to them and I love it.
