MartinLogan Motion 60 XTi Test


It seems that there is no such lover of high-quality sound left who has not heard about electrostats from MartinLogan - the company's assortment includes many models based on this technology, and we have already done a lot of tests . However, the "old school" should not be discounted, because the classic layout of three-way speakers with traditional (at least partially) speakers is more than relevant to this day, and sometimes no less able to surprise the listener. The MartinLogan Motion 60 XTi is a good example of this classic layout.

The review posted by the OP is virtually unreadable. Terribly written, and in passages even incomprehensible. Untrustworthy.

I had these speakers for a two month trial. They sounded quite excellent, though were too bright for my space. I blame my space for that, not the speakers, but they were not a good fit so I sent them back.

No offense, but I really don’t fully understand the point of that review -or- the odd shaped corner room setup in the third photo shown. Best to evaluate them in your own home. Proper amplification and reasonable room setup can change results greatly with these speakers.

In a second system I own ML Motion Series in a home theater setup. Tested them with various type of (SS and Tube) amplifiers for HT and 2ch Audio. The Motion Series 40s, 50, 60s will respond better with amplifiers capable of dealing with less than 4ohm loads. Take the 94db sensitivity spec with a grain of salt. Dinky flea-watt tube amps with tiny transformers need not apply. Driver control of the woofers and AMT ribbon tweeter improves when pairing up with a great amplifier.
