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 Folded Motion XT Tweeters

    The Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter is the flagship variant of MartinLogan’s signature FMT technology. Elevating the signature FMT to new heights with a 40% increase in surface area, providing higher levels of detail and effortless sound.

  • Motion Waveguide

    Enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter, 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.

  • Kevlar-Nomex Midrange

    Motion XT’s Kevlar-Nomex Midrange provides an ideal combination of lightweight, high strength, and anti-resonance for maximum fidelity. When paired with Motion XT’s Gen2 FMT XT, the vocal clarity, dialogue, and instrumental accuracy are unrivaled at any volume.

  • 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.

  • Enchanced Cabinet Bracing

    If a speaker cabinet isn’t braced properly, it will vibrate or resonate, resulting in masked clarity and detail. This 4th generation Motion XT series features specially engineered bracing to maximize sound quality by minimizing unwanted vibrations and resonances.

  • 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.

  • Threaded For Stands

    Threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker allow for secure attachment to MartinLogan’s matching speaker stand, the STAND25.

    Motion XT series is for real!

    Great midrange clarity. Build quality is excellent... these are solid! It was between these and the Bowers and Wilkins 706 s2/3. I enjoyed the sound of these compared to those (and a few others). Love the new design and the tweeters on the new motion xt series. Using a Denon dra-800h for a 2.1 set up and very pleased so far!

    Love them!

    [Employee of bestbuy] I bought a pair of these for a dedicated music room. They are connected to a Marantz Cinema 70, and the Martin Logan sealed Dynamo 10. I’m using the Audioquest Black Lab sub cable, and an Audioquest Cinnamon hdmi. Needless to say, I don’t have any of my components plugged into the wall. I am using the non-sacrificial Powerquest 505 surge/conditioner. My music room is small, but the results are as if I am listening to my music live. Quality components of your design make a huge difference in your listening experience!

    Quality

    The finish on these bookshelves is legit. Quality sound as expected from ML, tight and fast bass, FMT tweeter really is quite wonderful. I will say however due to the overpriced ML XT C100 center, if you're going for home theater you're better off checking out the new SVS Ultra Evolution. Your wallet will thank you.

    Martin Logan

    I felt these speakers are beautiful and well made. I really liked the look and preferred the gloss black..just know that it will show fingerprints and must be wiped down if that sort of thing bothers you. First off the tweeter is pretty sweet. Even at high volumes I was never able to make it lose its composure. Detail and high frequency extension is all there with this speaker. I tried these with an AVR, a tube amp, and 3 different solid state. Eventually I settled on an Elac Alchemy, which is a Class D and is capable of 325watts x2 into the B100's 4ohm impedance. Feeding the Logans with a nice clean signal and the B100's can sound very nice with a sense of refinement due to their looks and extension of the tweeter.. but for me I felt the overall experience was lacking a little something in the mid to lower bass frequency range. Paired with a SVSpro subwoofer definitely helped but wasn't enough to make me completely happy. Very nice speakers but i think I would prefer the fuller range of the new Martin Logan floor standing speakers. I'm currently using the Polk R200 and Wharfedale Linton's. Both of these lack the finesse and refinement of the B100's AMT tweeter..but better the Logans in other areas in my opinion. I will be returning the B100's but have nothing bad to say about them, it is just personal preferences. Beautiful speaker though

    Great sound/design, not great open box condition

    "Excellent" open box condition is not excellent, there are many permanent markings on the front and sides of speaker, including damage to the gold ring in the walnut color. It did include cable, grill, and documentation I have it paired to wiim amp ultra and svs sb1000 pro sub in a living room, having a sub is highly recommended if you listen to anything with bass in it at all. The sparkly highs are what sold me in the magnolia demo room, sometimes I feel like I'm at a live concert. If I had the money I would be looking at the floor standing speakers equivalent.
