Legendary MartinLogan Sound

MartinLogan speakers are known for their exceptional articulation, detail and realism, regardless of the listening environment. By using advanced thin-film technologies and Controlled Dispersion, MartinLogan delivers a unique and unparalleled listening experience that is not commonly found in other speakers.

Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion® Tweeter XT

The Gen2 Obsidian FMT XT Tweeter has been upgraded with a larger motor to provide higher output and lower distortion. The FMT XT offers the most effortless and detailed sound in the Motion range with a 40% increase in surface area over our signature FMT. Outside of our legendary Electrostatic speakers, these new tweeters provide our cleanest, most detailed and accurate high frequency presentation to date.

Folded Motion® Waveguide

After an extensive evaluation of nearly 50 design options, the Folded Motion® Waveguide profile was meticulously chosen to harmoniously align with the dispersion of the midrange drivers, resulting in enhanced output. The waveguide guarantees consistent sound quality regardless of the listener’s position and minimizes unwanted room reflections. Proper waveguide design is crucial as it helps control the sound’s dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sound is evenly distributed across the listening area and resulting in optimal sound quality.

Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® Midrange

The Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® Mid-bass drivers in the Motion® XT C100 offer a perfect balance of lightweight, strength, anti-resonance and anti-ringing properties for unparalleled sound quality. When combined with the Gen2 Obsidian FMT XT, the clarity of vocals, dialogue and instrumental accuracy is unmatched at any volume. The seamless integration with Motion® XT CI products makes creating custom solutions effortless.

Anti-Lobing Center Channel Design

Motion XT C100 Center Channel Speaker utilize a 2.5-Way crossover design to eliminate lobing and preserve the tonality of the source material. This results in a significant reduction of negative effects on sound reproduction, leading to a more precise and accurate listening experience.

Flippable CenterChannel Cabinet

The unique flippable design of the Motion® cabinet allows for better sound clarity and immersion when placed on a lower shelf or piece of furniture by directing the sound upwards towards the listener’s ears.

Brand

MartinLogan

When it comes to electrostatic speaker design, there is no name bigger than MartinLogan. No company before it had managed to consistently leverage the purity and clarity of electrostatic speakers without sacrificing power and bass. The Kansas-based company's design and engineering teams have perfected the electrostatic model for high-quality audio during the past four decades.

Each component crafted by the company has the same goal: to reproduce the most complex musical recordings faithfully. The company's ESL series is still its most distinguished line. Among the standouts are the Ethos, Spire, and Summit X.

During the past two decades, they've expanded their product line to include home theater loudspeakers like The Stage, soundbars, and cutting-edge subwoofers. They've also introduced industry-leading technology, from handcrafted crossovers to Anthem Room Correction technology integration.

They have never strayed too far from their core focus: reference-grade electrostatic loudspeakers. This is showcased best in their flagship Neolith speaker. Standing over six feet high and made to order, it offers 23–22,000 Hz ±3dB frequency response and 90 dB/2.83 volts/meter sensitivity. For our clients that want this type of craftsmanship at an affordable price, we recommend the Classic ESL 9. It delivers classic audio performance ideal for entry-level audiophiles.

Overture is a proud dealer of MartinLogan products, selling customers the best speakers from MartinLogan. Interested in purchasing a new MartinLogan component? You can trade-in any component towards a MartinLogan product by filling out our Trade-In Form.
