A: Hello. Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. Yes, our Folded Motion tweeters have an 80° x 80° dispersion pattern, which allows SLM and SLM XL to sound the same in a horizontal or vertical orientation, making them perfect for Left-Center-Right (LCR) system applications. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions. We appreciate your support and interest in our products.
Q: What’s the best current receiver to use with theses
A: Hello. Thank you for your question and we hope all is well. We don't have any models or brands to recommend as the speakers work with almost everything. It's pretty subjective as it will really be a matter of personal preference, including for our staff. However, something that might be helpful is we do recommend an amplifier power of 20-140 watts per channel. If you are providing around 100-140 watts per channel, you should be sending sufficient power to the speakers. We hope this helps and please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. We appreciate your question and support.

Overhaul your sound system with this MartinLogan Motion SLM XL speaker. Two 4-inch high-excursion fiber cone woofers and four passive bass radiators help you feel the beat with powerful but detailed bass. This MartinLogan Motion SLM XL speaker has a Folded Motion tweeter that delivers accurate high and mid-range tones.
This bundle contains 3 slender MartinLogan Motion® SLM XL speakers, ideal for creating a high-performance yet low-profile home theater. With a depth under 2”, the SLM XL’s are designed to look right at home mounted next to your flat panel TV. Complete the experience by adding a powered subwoofer and surround speakers to create an incredibly detailed and immersive audio experience.
This MartinLogan Motion SLM flat-panel speaker features dual 4" fiber-cone woofers, dual 4" high-velocity passive bass radiators and a Folded Motion tweeter to deliver a stunning soundscape. The sleek profile blends seamlessly with your living space.
The flagship of the series, and largest “LCR” model in the Motion XT CI series includes a unique feature that brings its performance level up even higher. In addition to the FMT XT tweeter, and dual 6.5” woven Kevlar Nomex-backed bass drivers, the XTW6-LCR has a dedicated 6.5” midrange driver that elevates its acoustic performance to rival that of traditional floor standing speakers. With a rotating tweeter housing, the XTW6-LCR can be used horizontally when needed, and is the perfect choice for systems desiring a higher level of performance without the large footprint of a tower speaker. 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.

Best speakers ive ever owned.
These are really nice looking and great sounding speakers. I love the slim profile with them hanging on the wall. I use this one as my left and right stereo speakers. If youre using these as stereo and/or center channels, you need a woofer. The sound clearity is amazing but there is very little bass out of them. Dont let my photo deceive the size of the speaker. I have an 85" tv in the pic.

Definitely worth the price
Hands down the best speakers I’ve owned. Currently using these speakers as left and right channel and these speakers are beautiful as well as sound great. Great mids and highs, however due to being thin they suffer when it comes to bass so make sure you have a sub. Installation was fairly simple, considering this is the first time I’ve installed any speakers on a wall. The only thing I wish as that it allowed the speaker wire to run down rather than on the side. Recommend having another one as a center, or even a Motion SLM. If you’re looking for great sounding speakers that take up no room then these are your speakers.
