Motion® XT CI Front, Center, and Surround Speakers
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 as well as a special Nomex layer on the back side of the
woofer material which increases clarity and realism by reducing resonance and ringing.
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, similar to a better cabinet on a traditional
speaker. The Nomex layer and the chassis are not something you can see after installation,
but it matters to the performance of the speaker, so it matters to us. With Motion XT CI, the
difference is in the details.
