MartinLogan Motion 8i Center Channel Speaker, Single Speaker (Gloss Black)

Audiophile performance without an audiophile price. Inspired by the clarity and detail of Martin Logan’s ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion 2i, 4i, 6i, and 8i feature exquisite Folded Motion tweeters and powerful bass technology in compact and affordable packages. Key to performance is the lightning fast response of the tweeter’s light-weight diaphragm combined with a large surface area (much larger than a typical one-inch dome tweeter) which together achieve a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity-certain to inspire envy in audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike. Precision Vostro crossover topology features custom air core coil inductors, low DCR steel laminate inductors, and polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors for a seamless sonic presentation. Flexible installation options allow table top or on-wall installation of all four speakers. Motion 2i and 4i bookshelf speakers can also mount upside down to facilitate placement high on a wall. Motion 6i and 8i can mount horizontally or vertically around a wall-mounted flat screen television.
Folded Motion Tweeter “squeezes” air and requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1″ dome tweeter, drastically minimizing distortion while providing a lightning fast response time
Elegant yet understated styling with a flawless high-gloss, piano black finish, subtle curves, and a signature perforated grille
The innovative Folded Motion Tweeter is engineered with a large surface area (8-times that of a typical 1″ dome tweeter) to create clear, highly dynamic and precise sound
Convenient push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts help guide speaker wire effortlessly into place, and accept banana plugs in addition to bare wire.
Flexible design allows horizontal or vertical installation.
