Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ?


They seem to pack a lot of a speaker for the $...
Ribbon tweeter, nice aluminium 6.5in mid, 2 x 8 in woofers, polypropylene capacitors...

Who owns a pair ? And did some of you compare those with pricier speakers ?

I couldn't disagree more. I own the Martin Logan 60XTs and love them. I had the Definitive Technology BP9060s with center and Atmos and they weren't even close. The Def Techs were just bass with some highs. There was no mid and even the bass and highs weren't as clean.The center lacked lots of detail and had no bass at all. I couldn't hear voices most of the time. The 60XTs power by Emotiva are clean and provide plenty of bass for music. When used for my home theater, yes I have the ML center and Atmos as well, with my two HSU 15" subs they sound amazing. I even compared them to the B&W 702s before I bought them. The B&W mids are amazing but the bass is horribly lacking. The 702S didn't impress me in regards to bass, especially for the price that they charge for those things. I don't care for the electrostatic speakers either. They are too centralized for my taste. As most people will tell you, sound and quality is subjective. Not everyone is gonna agree. I always tell people to go listen to them in person if you can. More than likely what you hear is not gonna be the same as the person standing next to you.
