MartinLogan Motion FX White Surround Speakers Hi Guys, These are awesome speakers. It perfect condition and working flawlessly. A great addition to your home cinema. They are white. About 4 years old. Audiophile Performance without an audiophile price. From Martin Logan Inspired by our ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion FX features dual Folded Motion tweeters in a wide dispersion configuration, powerful bass, and folded reflex port technology in a compact, affordable package. Key to Motion FX’s performance is the lightning fast response of the tweeter’s light-weight diaphr
At A$900 for a single MartinLogan Motion FX, this asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the typical used market range of roughly A$350–A$450 per speaker (based on a mint-unit listing at US$246.49, converted at a current rate). The Motion FX launched in 2010 and was discontinued years ago, replaced by the newer Motion series, so timing isn’t urgent, but the price reflects a significant markup over fair used value.
Despite the high price, the Motion FX remains a well-regarded dedicated surround speaker, praised for its dual Folded Motion tweeters delivering exceptional detail with low distortion, wide 160° horizontal dispersion ideal for immersive sound, and deep, detailed bass from its Folded Motion Cascading Bass-Reflex Port. It’s voice-matched to MartinLogan’s ESL and Motion tower/bookshelf lines, making it a strong upgrade for Atmos rigs or high-end surround setups—if you find it in original-owner condition with mounting hardware included, it could still be a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts prioritizing performance over cost.

MartinLogan emerged in the late 1970s from Lawrence, Kansas, when Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan Sutherland, sharing a passion for electrostatic loudspeakers, united their engineering and design expertise. The duo, whose middle names inspired the brand, unveiled their breakthrough at the 1983 CES with the Monolith—the world's first practical hybrid electrostatic speaker, blending a curved panel for mids and highs with a dynamic woofer for bass. This American innovation addressed longstanding electrostatic limitations like fragility and poor low-end response, propelling the company from a high-end audio store collaboration to a dedicated manufacturing powerhouse.
The brand specializes in electrostatic and hybrid speakers, from flagship floorstanders like the CLX and Summit X to more accessible Motion Series designs, alongside complementary powered subwoofers and select electronics. Their proprietary thin-film transducers, advanced panel assembly, and room-optimized engineering define a lineup that prioritizes transparency and precision over conventional dynamic drivers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, MartinLogan commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its unwavering commitment to electrostatic purity, delivering ethereal soundstaging and timbral accuracy that make cabinets vanish. Now part of the PML group alongside Paradigm and Anthem, it blends Kansas heritage with rigorous innovation, appealing to buyers seeking reference-level realism in home audio and theater systems.
