Sounds amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing I have. It paired with the eight inch towers and it sounds absolutely out of this world! You can hear a slight difference in tone going from the left to center to right because even though the 8" towers have matching 6.5" midrange, The center channel obviously doesn't have the 8" woofer to carry the symmetrical bass. Still love this speaker. I listen to movies as well as music and music sounds out of this world!

Excellent Full Range Center Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Polk Audio center speaker for a long time. When watching movies, I always had difficulty hear the conversations. I though that it must be my hearing problem. After I replace it with this Motion 50XTi center speaker, the difference in conversation clarity is dramatic. Now I know what I was missing.

Q: QuestionWhat is the RMS output and are each speaker functional or with passive radiators?
Asked by JasonrW.
- A:Answer Hello. Thank you for your question and your interest in our products. For the Motion 30i, we typically recommend amplifier power between 20-200 watts per channel. As for the speakers, the Motion 30i and 50XTi are designed with a 2.5 way crossover to prevent lobing from occurring below the tweeter crossover point. Unless there is a single driver that plays all frequencies, there will always be some lobing. The 2.5 way design minimizes this as much as possible. In a 2.5 way MTM (Midrange/Tweeter/Midrange) configuration (Like the Motion 30i/50XTi) both woofers play the same up to the lower crossover point, then one woofer rolls off, and the other plays up to the tweeter crossover point. This minimizes lobing effects, in the same manner, as a TM (Tweeter/Mid like 15i or 35XTi) design would. With this, combined with the controlled dispersion of the Folded Motion Tweeter, we are able to avoid these acoustic issues. We hope this helps and we greatly appreciate your support.

Q: Questionthis speaker is listed at 4 Oms. Can I used a 8 oms receiver , without hurting the receiver or speaker ?
Asked by jizzy.
- A:Answer I have researched this a lot. ML can only speak to their speakers, not the avr. ML is biased and should not be trusted to answer regarding the avr. Consult your avr manual. If still unsure, ask the avr customer service. They will tell you the answer. (I did and was told not to use.) That being said, people allegedly mismatch speaker and avr impedance (ohm) without causing damage. If you do this, do not play at loud volumes though.

Q: QuestionI have this speaker currently hooked up with a traditional wire, is it worth the cost to purchase a bi wire? Any feedback from those that have tried both ways would be appreciated!
Asked by centerchannel.
- A:Answer I tried both, and I heard an obvious difference when bi wiring the 50 XTi. I was surprised because I have tried other speaker brands with and without biwiring, and I usually cannot tell the difference. When biwiring, follow the manual and remove the jumper clips.
