Fill your home with music using this MartinLogan Icon 3XW in-wall speaker. The Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeter makes the high-frequency sounds come alive, while the dual 5.25-inch low-frequency drivers deliver clean, thundering bass. This MartinLogan Icon 3XW in-wall speaker features a sealed-back box enclosure to help reduce fidelity-robbing vibrations.

Speaker Buying Guide

  • The MartinLogan Sound: Regardless of the environment, our speakers sound better, more articulate, detailed, and realistic. With Controlled Dispersion and one of the clearest tweeters in the industry, our architectural models can compete with and often exceed the performance of traditional speakers.
  • Folded Motion XT Obsidian Tweeters: Masterpiece CI Series steps up the game with the Folded Motion XT Obsidian tweeters, which advance thin-film transducer technology even further. The result is superior realism and alarming specificity. Folded Motion XT takes tweeter technology to the next level
  • Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Woofers: Icon 3XW features cones using unidirectional carbon fiber, a material that is twice as strong as steel but with a sixth of the density, for exceptional rigidity without the weight. They are designed in multiple sections to take full advantage of this material.
  • Nomex Backers: Each cone is reinforced by a Nomex backer, for added damping that prevents ringing and reduces breakup modes in these extremely rigid cones. The drivers feature powerful, efficient magnet structures, enabling massive excursion and huge sound output, while preserving deep bass details.
  • Advanced Driver Engineering: To deliver more accuracy in the critical midrange, the mid-frequency drivers have their suspensions "stiffened." This raises the driver's resonant frequency and optimizes performance to achieve a natural roll-off, inherently keeping it in an ideal range for mid-frequencies
  • Proprietary Vojtko Crossover Networks: Vojtko Crossovers are named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko. Vojtko Crossovers are hand-built from the highest quality components and avoid overly complex topologies. This crossover has a straightforward objective: breathtaking realism.
  • Performance Meets Aesthetics: While there are many choices of CI speakers out there, MartinLogan stands out for bringing unique, high-performance technologies together in a package that perfectly blends discrete sound with noticeable quality. Performance and Aesthetics, both without compromise.
  • Controlled Dispersion: Room acoustics are extremely important. Everything in the listening room has an impact on the sound of your speakers, so we try to minimize the harmful effects by focusing the sound directly on your ears. This increases clarity, and detail regardless of the rooms design.

MartinLogan - Motion XT Series CI, 6.5" Midrange, Dual 6.5" Woofers with Folded Motion XT Tweeter, 2.5-Way In-Wall Speaker (Each) - Paintable White
5.0(2)

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.

    Electronic lover

    I was considering this speaker versus the next higher version. There’s $1000 difference. I have quite a large room that’s over 30‘ x 40‘. These are in the wall. I need side of my 83 inch Sony television. They are excellent. I also have other MartinLogan speakers for the center channel as well as subwoofer, and the rear channels. can’t beat MartinLogan quality and sound. Highly recommend these. I’m glad I didn’t spend the extra thousand dollars on the next level up.
