MartinLogan Motion 40i RW, ea floorstanding speaker, Red Walnut

The MartinLogan Motion? 40i looks beautiful and delivers smooth, detailed sound. The best never rest Crutchfield customers raved about the MartinLogan Motion? 40 , but the legendary speaker maker isn't willing to rest on its laurels. The next-generation Motion 40i delivers a similar wide-open soundstage, sublime high-end detail, smooth midrange accuracy, and deep bass extension from a new design that improves on the original. 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. A solid mid- and low-frequency foundation MartinLogan uses aluminum cones for their unique blend of lightness and rigidity. A 5-1/2" woofer keeps those crucial midrange frequencies clear and neutral, so vocals sound almost as if the singer were in the room. Two 6-1/2" woofers ensure the Motion 40i goes plenty low. The rear-firing bass port helps efficiently enhance bass response without adding distortion to this speaker's clean performance. Detail and precision from the Folded Motion? tweeter Perched above the Motion 40i's midrange woofer is the source of this speaker's impressive high-frequency performance - MartinLogan's acclaimed Folded Motion tweeter. Its pleated diaphragm 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 and distortion are drastically reduced. The diaphragm's increased surface area also provides wide, yet controlled sound dispersion to create a realistic and highly accurate soundstage. Unique crossover network Motion Series speakers feature proprietary Vojtko(tm) crossovers, named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko.
