MOTION 60XTi

The Motion 60XTi floor-standing speaker plays loud and low, and with impressive transparency and presence.

A high-performance tower speaker

The 60XTi is the flagship of MartinLogan's Motion line. It produces detailed highs, open and authentic midrange performance, and deep, musical bass response. This model features a drive-stabilizing dust cap and stiffened motor suspension on its midrange and low-frequency woofers. The latter are mounted low to reduce an unwelcome acoustic phenomenon known as floor bounce, to keep the bass and critical midrange frequencies properly balanced. Because details matter.

Folded Motion XT® tweeter for detailed sound

MartinLogan's acclaimed Folded Motion XT tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that works similarly to an accordion by "squeezing" air to create sound. Because it requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1" dome tweeter, response time is drastically reduced along with distortion.

The diaphragm's increased surface area also provides wide, yet controlled sound dispersion to create a realistic and highly accurate soundstage. Music sounds amazingly detailed, but smooth and effortless, without a trace of harshness. And the XT tweeter boasts a 40% larger radiating surface area than MartinLogan's standard Folded Motion design, for even greater bandwidth and efficiency.

Excellent midrange and bass

The Motion 60XTi uses a low-distortion 6-1/2" aluminum cone woofer to supply fast, clean midrange and two 8" woofers for powerful bass performance that blends seamlessly with the Folded Motion XT tweeter. Two low-turbulence rear-firing ports extend bass performance, but keep it tight and tuneful.

Unique crossover network

Motion Series speakers feature proprietary Vojtko™ crossovers, named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko. "A Vojtko crossover isn't so much a set of design requirements as it is a philosophy," the company explains. Each speaker's drivers are carefully selected or designed to operate within an intentional frequency range and specific performance parameters. That allows the crossover networks — built from high-quality capacitors and resistors — to be clean and uncomplicated.
