Know before you buy
The Folded Motion XT tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that moves air with much greater speed and efficiency than a traditional dome. This design results in significantly lower distortion and a faster, more detailed high-frequency response that captures subtle nuances in your music.
The Motion 60XTi is quite efficient with a 94 dB sensitivity, but it is designed to handle a wide range of power from 20 to 400 watts per channel. While they will play loudly with modest power, pairing them with a high-quality amplifier will provide better control and dynamic headroom, especially at higher volumes.
The low-mounted woofers are specifically engineered to minimize 'floor bounce,' which is the interference caused by sound waves reflecting off the floor. This design helps maintain a cleaner, more accurate bass response, making these speakers slightly more forgiving of placement than traditional designs, though they still perform best when given some breathing room from the walls.
They are designed to excel at both. The precise high-frequency detail and balanced midrange make them excellent for critical music listening, while the dual 8-inch woofers provide the punch and scale required for immersive home theater experiences.
Not at all. The cabinet is built with extensive internal bracing to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance. This rigid construction ensures that the sound you hear is coming from the drivers, not the enclosure itself, resulting in a cleaner and more transparent soundstage.
While these are large, flagship floorstanding speakers, their controlled dispersion and low-bounce design allow them to work in medium-to-large rooms. However, in a very small space, the dual 8-inch woofers may produce too much bass energy, potentially overwhelming the room's acoustics.
