This new Motion line's clean design takes cues from MartinLogan's ESL Series of electrostatic loudspeakers. "We wanted the same performance, if not better, than our Motion Series, with a minimalistic design featuring luxurious real-wood," reveals Carl Masters, Mechanical Designer for MartinLogan.

MartinLogan's signature perforated steel grille appears to float in front of the solidly constructed 3/4-inch thick MDF cabinets. Hidden discretely beneath the grille, the drivers are secured by a solid, black-anodized brushed aluminum baffle that sits flush with the cabinet. Folded Motion tweeters and woofers are seamlessly blended with an advanced topology crossover network featuring polypropylene and low-DF electrolytic capacitors, custom wound inductors, and thermal and current protection. The Motion LX Series also features custom five-way binding posts for connection versatility.

Priced starts at $799.95 per pair (US) for the Motion LX16. Pricing for the Motion LX26 is TBD. Both are scheduled to ship in 2011 and will be available at select high-performance audio retailer.
