About the Motion LX16

The Martin Logan Motion LX16 bookshelf speaker offers audiophile-grade sound quality inspired by Martin Logan's electrostatic technology, packaged in a traditional bookshelf form factor with luxurious high-gloss real-wood finishes. It features a 1" x 1.4" Folded Motion tweeter for exceptional musical detail and low distortion, paired with a 5.25" high-excursion black aluminum cone woofer with a cast basket for tight, controlled bass. The enclosure is bass-reflex (ported) with a rear-firing low-turbulence port to extend bass performance. The speaker uses a high-precision, advanced topology crossover network with polypropylene and low-DF electrolytic capacitors, custom wound inductors, and thermal/current protection. The cabinet is constructed from 3/4" thick MDF with a black-anodized brushed aluminum front baffle and a perforated steel grille that attaches magnetically. It has a frequency response of 60–25,000 Hz (±3 dB), sensitivity of 92 dB, impedance of 5 ohms, and is recommended for amplifier power between 20 and 200 watts. Dimensions are approximately 11" H x 6.5" W x 9.5" D, and each speaker weighs 12 lbs. The Motion LX16 is praised for its clear, detailed sound signature, impressive bass for its size, and elegant finish options including Piano Black and Cherrywood. It carries a 5-year warranty with product registration and was originally95 before discontinuation.
