The “HT” version of the XTC8 features a fixed angle mounting of the tweeter and woofer in order to provide a massive improvement in performance for listeners who are farther away. This is the perfect choice for when a speaker must be mounted apart from where the listener will be standing, walking or sitting, like in a home theater. The same holds true in whole house music systems where speakers can be located farther away from where the listener spends most of their time. In situations like this, the angled “HT” models provide a very real, and very noticeable increase in performance. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Folded Motion XT Tweeter: This upgrade increases audible bandwidth and detail while lowering distortion even further when compared to our signature Folded Motion Tweeter. Featuring a 40% larger surface area and even more controlled dispersion, the FMT XT advances tweeter technology to new levels.
- Kevlar Woofers: Motion XT CI speakers feature very lightweight woven Kevlar cones specifically engineered to keep pace with the blazing speed of our highest performance “XT” tweeter. These high-performance woofers feature a Nomex backer to reduce unwanted resonance and ringing for even better realism.

The XTC8 features our largest and highest performing FMT XT and a woven Kevlar woofer. These features make a noticeable improvement to the sound but also help to reduce unwanted room acoustic artifacts. With a more controlled 80° x 30° dispersion, the FMT XT is a powerful tool that delivers unheard levels of realism from a CI speaker in even the most acoustically challenging rooms. The XTC8 is a great choice for a high performance whole house music system, or for premium home theater. Its unique combination of high-performance drivers and controlled dispersion allows you to control where sound is placed in a room and provides an even better experience.
