MartinLogan Motion 35XTi Bookshelf Speaker for Audiophiles

Introducing a remarkable bookshelf loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional performance, this audio powerhouse features the lightning-quick Folded Motion XT tweeter that captures lifelike details, alongside a robust 6.5-inch aluminum cone woofer. Complemented by a rear-firing bass port and a unique Vojtko crossover network, this speaker offers an impressive dynamic range. The "XT" symbolizes extreme capability with clear midrange performance and deep, resonant bass that enhances the listening experience.

This loudspeaker integrates time-tested technologies enriched with subtle refinements, such as a drive-stabilizing dust cap and a stiffened motor suspension, which work together to elevate sound quality. The enclosure boasts a reinforced baffle, ensuring durability, while a fabric grille provides both aesthetic appeal and protection for the drivers. For those mindful of design, the speaker comes in three elegant finishes: gloss black, matte white, and red walnut.

In terms of technical specifications, this model exhibits an impressive frequency response ranging from 50 Hz to 25,000 Hz, with a tolerance of ±3dB. It is designed to work optimally with recommended amplifier power between 20 and 250 watts per channel. With an 80° horizontal dispersion and a 30° vertical dispersion, the speaker delivers sound coverage suitable for various room sizes and configurations. A sensitivity rating of 92 dB/2.83 volts/meter and a nominal 4 ohm impedance further optimize its compatibility with amplifiers rated at 4, 6, or 8 ohms.

The crossover frequency is set at 2,200 Hz, which ensures effective separation of frequencies for a cleaner and more defined sound reproduction. The high-frequency transducer features a 1.25" x 2.4" Folded Motion XT transducer, equipped with a diaphragm measuring 4.5" x 2.75". Meanwhile, the low-frequency transducer is a robust 6.5” aluminum cone, housed in a cast polymer basket that employs a non-resonant asymmetrical chamber format. This configuration, along with a rigid dust cap, minimizes cone break-up modes, enhancing overall audio fidelity.

In terms of components, the loudspeaker features custom air core coils and low DCR steel laminate inductors. Its capacitors include polypropylene film capacitors in series paired with low DF electrolytic capacitors in parallel, ensuring high performance and reliability. Additionally, the tweeter is equipped with thermal and current protection to safeguard against overheating.

For seamless connectivity, the loudspeaker includes custom 5-way tool-less binding posts. Weighing in at 18.5 lbs (8.4 kg) and with dimensions of 13.5" x 7.6" x 11.8" (34.3 cm x 19.2 cm x 30 cm), it strikes a balance between compact design and powerful sound output.

Choose this bookshelf loudspeaker for an extraordinary audio experience that brings your music and movies to life with exceptional clarity, depth, and detail, all while enhancing your home decor with its stylish color finishes.
