The 4th generation Motion XT Series ushers in a new era of design and aesthetics for MartinLogan. The three modern, yet timeless, colorways can compliment any room while being a focal point if so desired. Motion XT evokes a unique look and sound, pairing high-performance woofers with exclusive Folded Motion Tweeter technology, a staple of MartinLogan products. The Motion Waveguide enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter to a high precision 45°(Vertical) by 90°(Horizontal) to accommodate a wide range of seating while reducing performance robbing floor and ceiling reflections within the environment.

  • 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 Folded Motion XT Tweeters: The Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter is the flagship variant of MartinLogan’s signature FMT technology. Elevating the signature FMT to new heights with a 40% increase in surface area, providing higher levels of detail and effortless sound.
  • Motion Waveguide: Enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter, 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.
  • Kevlar-Nomex Midrange: Motion XT’s Kevlar-Nomex Midrange provides an ideal combination of lightweight, high strength, and anti-resonance for maximum fidelity. When paired with Motion XT’s Gen2 FMT XT, the vocal clarity, dialogue, and instrumental accuracy are unrivaled at any volume.
  • 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.
  • Enchanced Cabinet Bracing: If a speaker cabinet isn’t braced properly, it will vibrate or resonate, resulting in masked clarity and detail. This 4th generation Motion XT series features specially engineered bracing to maximize sound quality by minimizing unwanted vibrations and resonances.
  • 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.
  • Threaded For Stands: Threaded inserts on the bottom of the speaker allow for secure attachment to MartinLogan’s matching speaker stand, the STAND25.

Q: Does the speaker have a wireless multi-room audio feature?

A: This speaker does not have a wireless multi-room audio feature.

Q: Are the speakers sold individually or as a pair?

A: The Motion XT B100 bookshelf speakers are sold individually, each speaker with a 6.5-inch midbass driver.

Q: Can the speaker handle a peak power of 250 watts?

A: The peak power handling for this speaker is 250 watts.

Q: What is the purpose of the Motion Waveguide?

A: The Motion Waveguide enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter to a high precision 45°(Vertical) by 90°(Horizontal) to accommodate a wide range of seating while reducing performance robbing floor and ceiling reflections.

Q: What is the sensitivity of the speaker?

A: The sensitivity of the speaker is 93 decibels.

Q: Are these Martin Logan Gen2 bookshelf speakers wall mountable?

A: I think these new Martin XT series are actually Gen4..I could be wrong though. Anyway the B100's are presented in a way to be used on stands. They do not come with any attachments or way to attach the back of the speakers to a wall. I am pretty sure they do make a smaller speaker in this new line that does make it easier to mount. If they don't carry it at Best Buy yet you could go to the Martin Logan website and be able to get the model number.

Q: Can these ML Gen2 bookshelf speakers be WALL MOUNTED? Do they need brackets?

A: There are no mounting bracket holes on these. I wouldn't suggest putting on a wall anyway with the ported design.
