Know before you buy
The downward-firing port makes these speakers much easier to position in a room. Because the air exits toward the floor rather than the back, you can place the speakers closer to a wall without worrying about the boomy, muddy bass that often occurs with rear-ported designs.
Yes, the Motion F20 is compatible with most standard receivers. With a sensitivity of 92 dB, they are relatively easy to drive, though they perform best when paired with an amplifier that can handle a 4-ohm load to ensure you get the most out of the dual aluminum bass drivers.
The Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that moves air much more efficiently than a traditional dome. This results in significantly higher detail, faster transient response, and a wider, more controlled soundstage for your high-frequency audio.
Bi-wiring or bi-amping is an optional feature for those who want to fine-tune their audio performance, but it is not required. The speakers will sound excellent with a standard single-wire connection from your amplifier.
Yes, the Motion F20 includes tool-less outrigger feet that provide a wide, stable base. These feet are designed to keep the speakers secure and level on both hard surfaces and carpeted flooring.
The dedicated 5.5-inch woven fiberglass midrange driver is specifically engineered to isolate and reproduce vocal frequencies. This design ensures that dialogue in movies and lead vocals in music remain clear and distinct, even when the bass drivers are working hard.
