About this product

The smaller of the two “LCR” models in the Motion XT CI series, the XTW5-LCR functions equally well as a center, front or surround channel, or anywhere higher performance, higher output capability and/or a more rectangular shape is desired. A perfect complement for a flat panel TV or projector screen; the XTW5-LCR allows for flexible placement and incredible performance. Its FMT XT tweeter can be rotated to help create the sound dispersion that works best for your space. 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.

Features
  • 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 XTW6 takes one of the most popular styles of in-wall speaker to a new level of performance. Featuring the FMT XT and a 6.5” Kevlar woofer (with Nomex backer) the XTW6 offers incredible accuracy, clarity and more controlled dispersion. With the FMT XT’s 80° x 30° tweeter dispersion pattern, the XTW6 focuses and directs sound into the sweet spot of the room without letting it bleed as much into other areas of the room. This can be highly effective, especially in rooms with open floor plans or large windows, etc. allowing listeners to experience an otherwise unheard-of level of sound quality that won’t affect your room’s aesthetic. 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.

Questions & Answers
  • Does anyone know how to rotate the tweeter so I can incorporate this as a center channel speaker? Out of the box the tweeter is installed vertically, I would like to have it horizontal for when I install as my center channel.

    Hello. Thank you for your questions and inquiring about our products. To change the tweeter orientation on the XTW5-LCR, you have to remove the four screws from the backside of the speaker before installation. Once those screws are removed, you can pull the tweeter housing out and rotate 90 degrees to make it vertical, then reinstall. Hope that answers your question! If you need additional assistance, please give us a call!
