The Martin Logan Motion 60XT is a flagship 3-way floor-standing tower speaker designed for high-fidelity home theater and critical listening. It is distinguished by its Folded Motion XT tweeter, which uses a pleated diaphragm to move air perpendicular to the ridges for low distortion and high detail. These are in Very Good condition, cosmetically and electronically, though with the piano black high-gloss finish, every little scuff and scratch tend to be emphasized.Drivers: One 1.25" x 2.4" Folded Motion XT tweeter, one 6.5" aluminum cone midrange, and dual 8" aluminum cone woofersFrequency Response: 35 Hz – 25,000 Hz Sensitivity: 94 dB, making it highly efficient, though it is a 4Ω speaker that benefits from high-current amplificationDesign: Features a rear-ported cabinet with a high-gloss finish (Piano Black or Black Cherrywood) and a perforated magnetic grilleDimensions: 48" H x 11.4" W x 14.4" D Weight: 66 lbsService History: No service records were included from the prior owner.

Fair ask at USD1,300 for these MartinLogan 60XT towers. Against 30 recent comparable used listings, the median sits at USD1,121 (25th percentile USD591, 75th USD1,848), landing this squarely in the middle—neither a steal nor a stretch. Local Milwaukee pickup keeps logistics simple, dodging shipping risks on these 130+ lb beasts.
Before biting, verify the woofers and electrostatic panels for delamination or arcing—common on mid-2010s Motion series with heavy use. Insist on original grilles, spikes, and any damping pads; test for smooth XStat response across the band, as replacements aren't cheap.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
