Features
  • The MartinLogan Sound

    Regardless of the environment, MartinLogan speakers achieve high levels of articulation, detail, and realism. Utilizing exotic thin film technologies and Controlled Dispersion, MartinLogan provides unique and special listening experiences not commonly found in the industry.

  • Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S

    The Gen2 FMT S offers effortless performance, unmatched by conventional technologies. By folding thin film material, MartinLogan can pack more surface area into a small space providing incredible detail and clarity sure to bring your favorite content to life.

  • Folded Motion Waveguide

    Enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter S, blanketing the listening area with incredible detail and precision. Avoids performance robbing room reflections and provides a more consistent sound across a wider seating area.

  • Controlled Dispersion

    Room acoustics are vital, as everything in the listening room has an impact on speaker performance. MartinLogan minimizes these harmful effects by focusing the sound into the listening area, increasing flexibility, clarity, and placement options, regardless of the room’s design.

  • Aluminium Midrange and Bass Drivers

    Using trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s own Motion XT and Motion Series, the Motion Foundation Series uses Aluminum cone woofers to maximize clarity, detail, and output.

  • McCracken-Vojtko Crossovers

    The culmination of combining extensive anechoic, in-room measurements, and multiple blind listening tests with the low distortion philosophy of MartinLogan’s signature Vojtko Crossover. Through this process each speaker was refined to achieve peak performance.

  • Secure Lock Grilles

    Stealth mounting tabs securely hold the grilles in place allowing the listener to customize the appearance of each speaker. Creating a unique look; leaving the grilles on, off, or even rotating them to change the grain of the fabric providing maximum aesthetic control.

  • Floor Bounce Compensation

    Bringing studio reference sound to reality with precision woofer placement and crossover tuning, MartinLogan engineers have designed their tower models to produce a more natural and full sound by taking advantage of a constant found in all listening rooms; the floor!

    Cannot do better for the price

    I struggled with Sony towers and then Polk bookshelves and a maddening number adjustments trying to find the sound I wanted with nothing but disappointment. I saw these and sat in BB over an hour listening and fell in love. Build quality is excellent and the appearance of these are breath taking. The sound is so clean with plenty of detail and the imaging and positioning is spot on. Paired with my sub the bass is punchy and clean. Movies are spot on and listening to music the speakers practically disappear and the sound is mesmerizing without harshness or any ear fatigue.

    Very Very Impressed !!

    Excellent sound. I fell in love with these the moment I heard them , first I heard the F2 but they had a lil more extra bass which I didn't need cause I had a subwoofer which provided that. Cranked these speakers up to Metallica's ONE and WOW.... played some songs from Snoops 1st album to current Gorillaz album and was also blown away by the clarity and crispness of these speakers ! crank these ML F1s up and they wont disappoint

    Im living these soekaers

    I was going to pick these or the kef floorstanding speakers that were 600 at the time of purchase on sale. After listening to peoples reviews martinlogans are less accurate but emphasize highs while the kefs are more “accurate” but to me flat and boring. I had an old pair of sony floor ss-f7000s that got the job done for over a decade for me but i wanted something good for once in my home. I will say a good sub pairs very well with these because the bass is lacking but also not bad at all. I have been blasting these things at max volume all weekend and didnt get fatigued and feel the need to tirn them down like i did with the sonys. I noticed an immediate bump in quality if you love acoustic music youll hear all the little details. Songs ive listned to alot i was hearing new things ive never heard before. I dont think anyone wouldregret buying a pair of these.

    Amazing tower speakers

    Can’t go wrong with Martin Logan speakers. These are pricey, but they are amazing. They have great range of sound and complete the surround sound.

Questions & Answers
  • Do these speakers come with dust covers or any type of covering?

    Hello. Thank you for your question. The Foundation has a white cloth protective cover. While not a traditional dust cover and different than the stretchy dust with the ML logo that comes with the Motion and XT ones, it can still be used as a dust cover. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your support.

  • Hello, I love your speakers. I recently got these for my front left and right. Can you please suggest me the speakers for center and surrounds that complement these. Would the Foundation C1 for Center and the FX for surround work great with these?

    Hello. Thank you, Jeff, and we're so happy to hear it! We would recommend the C1 for your center and for surrounds, you do have a lot of options depending on how you would like them placed. Our speakers are designed to be mixed and matched so they can be paired with any of our offerings. Including our in-wall speakers, bookshelves, and on-wall offerings. The FXs would be a good choice if you're looking for an on-wall offering. If you can make the B1 work, that would also be another good option. We hope this helps and please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. We hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for all your support.

  • I just bought a pair of these speakers from BB with a Sonos amp and sub. I noticed these speakers are 4-ohms @100W, but the Sonos amp is rated at 8 ohms @125W per channel. Am I going to overload the speakers as soon as I connect these???

    Hello. Thank you for your question. Our speakers are compatible with 4, 6, and 8 ohm amps, with a recommended amplification power of 15-200 watts per channel. We hope this helps and please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks again and we appreciate your support.
