The new Motion Foundation Series Speakers from MartinLogan, consisting of five models, brings the brand’s offering to new lows—pricewise.
How low? Well, the Motion Foundation Series B1, the smallest stand mount in the bunch, comes in at $299.99/each while the top of the Motion Foundation line F2 floorstanders tip the scales at $999.99/each. I think it’s a wise move to bank on brand and go low (the top of line MartinLogan Neolith speakers run at a cool $119,999.98/pair).
Each speaker in the Foundation line features the company’s Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S that sports a Folded Motion Waveguide for better dispersion in room. The Motion Foundation Series also incorporate new Aluminum Midrange and Bass Drivers, trickle-down tech from the Motion XT and Motion Series speakers.
From the press release:
Allan Tarrant, Senior Vice President at MartinLogan, shares his excitement about the Motion® Foundation® Series: “The Motion® Foundation® Series is a game-changer for MartinLogan and the world of high-end audio. We are excited to offer an exceptional audio experience at a price point that is accessible to a broader audience.
