Imaging is about as good as I’ve experienced from bookshelf speakers, and I’ve heard some good ones in my time… its performance made me want to keep listening to music late into the night, which is what good hi-fi is all about - and it’s very much HRAC Approved." The new speakers play impressively loud and sound clean, with excellent detail, clear mids, and good dynamics.

HRAC Gear Review: MartinLogan Motion 35XT Bookshelf Speakers "With the 35XT, MartinLogan has managed to upscale its Motion Series bookshelf speaker offerings. I believe I’ve found what I’ve been looking for." All of that is offered by the MartinLogan Motion 35XT, in addition to a natural-sounding integration of tight, truthful bass and graceful highs.

MartinLogan Motion 35XT Loudspeakers "What I look for in a speaker is one that not only makes the full range of music I listen to sound as good as it can, but that also looks good in my home, occupies as little space as the laws of physics allow, and represents supreme value for the money. Used as a stereo pair, the ML 35XT speakers offer a lot of sound for the dollar."" And of course, fantastic sonics for their price point reinforce that assessment. MartinLogan Motion 35XT Bookshelf Speakers "The gloss-finished wooden cabinets and metal speaker grilles alone give the outward impression of a more expensive design. Like lightning striking twice in the same place, it upsets the natural scheme of things" Let’s face it, speakers this pretty (and this affordable) really shouldn’t sound this good, be this engaging, or this much fun. The perfect alternative for the high-end music lover looking for a second system or stand-in, it’s also the hair-shirt audiophile’s starter speaker par excellence – except that it might just embarrass the speakers in more than a few big, high-end systems and lacks the basic appearance so important for budget–esoteric credibility. MARTINLOGAN MOTION 35XT STANDMOUNT LOUDSPEAKER "The MartinLogan Motion 35XT succeeds in ticking pretty much every box on the small-speaker wish list: easy to drive and easy to live with, but can really grow with your system, a sound that is detailed and open but also genuinely solid and musically convincing, and a speaker that is entertaining and informative at the same time. There's a richness and lovely tonality to the sound that makes music flow with an easy gait." This is one system that really will appeal to both your heart and your head. More than the sum of its parts? Absolutely. the extra size adds a handy amount of low-end punch to what was already a refined and articulate packaged.

Until recently, they had Vienna Acoustics.Press Shining Lights ". I have to wonder if this is because you can hear them at any Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater in the back corner? The have B&Ws now too.

Honestly, I think many listeners would like them better on axis, as they have a lot more warmth and body.īy the way, this is the second thread questioning Martin Logan's "high end" credentials in the last couple of months. ML's "entry-level" motion series floor-standers sound a LOT better off axis, and just barely off axis at that. Slightly off axis? I've heard $200 bookshelves that sound better. The smaller hybrids, in particular, can be pretty frustrating once you realize all you have to do is stand up to go from open and detailed to flat, dull upper mids. With that said, the hybrid ML's can sound great in the sweet spot, but the bigger the panel, the bigger the sweet spot. The "high end" is a false construct that shouldn't be taken as any indication of anything other than price and target market.
