MartinLogan Foundation Series products redefine affordability by incorporating many of MartinLogan's renowned high-performance technologies at accessible prices. Leveraging 40 years of design and engineering prowess and offering MartinLogan’s renowned thin-film performance, Motion Foundation is a gateway into the world of true hi-fi sound. With a choice of 5 different models in 3 different finishes, Motion Foundation speakers are an ideal foundation for building a high performance Stereo or Surround sound system. Bringing high end performance to a wider audience, Motion Foundation offers incredible immersion for all your favorite content. Motion Foundation speakers feature the incredible performance of the Gen2 FMT S, bringing much of the same performance found in our/their larger siblings, in a more compact and affordable package. This high-performance tweeter is paired with a custom Folded Motion Waveguide offering consistent, smooth, and controlled sound across the listening space delivering incredible performance in every seat while also reducing some of the harmful effects of room acoustics. Rounding out the sound are specially designed aluminum woofers for both the midrange and bass drivers offering robust and detailed performance across the board. Motion Foundation models are available in 3 elegant finishes to compliment any decor: Black, Satin White, and Walnut.
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!

- A: AnswerHello. 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.

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

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.
