Martin Logan Dual Folded Motion XT tweeters in a wide- dispersion array ideally suited for surround channel applications.
(Sold Individually) PRE-OWNED
The EM-FX2 features dual Folded Motion XT tweeters in a wide-dispersion array ideally suited for surround channel applications. A single 6.5-inch doped fiber-cone woofer provides powerful low-frequency extension. Available in a black satin finish, the EM-FX2 is designed to corner mount, wall mount or angle-wall mount for versatile surround sound placement in any room.
Folded Motion™ XT Tweeter
MartinLogan’s larger, low distortion Folded Motion XT tweeter boasts a radiating surface 40% larger than those found in the award-winning Motion® Series products. This substantial leap in size increases the bandwidth and efficiency of the high-performance tweeter for effortless center channel performance.
Slender Profile
When mounted on a flat wall, the EM-FX2 protrudes only 6.8″, making it the perfect surround channel speaker for large rooms, without adding unnecessary bulk or visual distraction.
At $650 for an ElectroMotion FX2 with unknown condition, the asking price feels ambitious bordering on steep. These dipped-finish surrounds originally retailed around $650 each back in 2011, but solid used pairs or singles typically trade hands for $400–$600 on the secondary market, with refurbished units occasionally hitting $645–$900 from reputable dealers. Without photos or usage history, you're paying close to new-money for potential wear.
Before biting, verify the Folded Motion XT panels for dust buildup or delamination—those thin diaphragms hate grime and can buzz if mistreated. Confirm the 6.5-inch woofer cone isn't split or surround-rotted, as bass-reflex ports amplify any woofer flaws, and insist on the wall-mount brackets plus original grille being included to avoid aftermarket hassles.
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.
