Admittedly, their products sit outside of my budget, so I was over the moon to be able to finally get my hands and most importantly my ears on this set. And oh boy (spoiler alert), they are something. The revamped Motion Series is inspired by the performance of their ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeaker and will be at home in a music or home cinema set up. All speakers in this line-up feature MartinLogan’s cutting edge Folded Motion tweeter and hand-built crossovers. Their dedicated in-house engineering and design teams utilize the latest, most advanced, innovative technologies in this category. Needless to say, getting to do this review was pretty much a lottery win for me.
