Martin Logan Motion 35XTi
Martin Logan Motion 35XTi bookshelf speaker, with a clean design and gloss finish, designed to pair with floorstanding speakers from the Motion series.
Description
The Motion 35XTi is a bookshelf speaker by Martin Logan, designed to integrate harmoniously into an audio system built around the Motion series. It belongs to a range of products designed to be assembled progressively, floorstanding speaker after floorstanding speaker, speaker after speaker, according to the needs of stereo or home cinema listening.
Its aesthetic echoes the visual codes of the Motion 20, 40 and 60XT floorstanding speakers: rounded edges, a slightly tapered top and a high-gloss finish. This design continuity allows the Motion 35XTi to be paired with other models in the range without any visual break in a lounge or listening room.
The manufacturer states that this speaker is voice-matched with the entire Motion series. In practical terms, this means its tonal signature has been calibrated to remain consistent with that of the other speakers in the range, an important point when building a multichannel system where several speakers must deliver a coherent sound image, particularly on the centre channel and front channels.
This model is aimed at those considering upgrading their setup in stages, starting from a stereo pair and moving towards a complete home cinema system, or who simply want a compact bookshelf speaker that fits into a cabinet or on dedicated stands.
What to check before buying used
The suspensions of the mid-woofer drivers deserve close inspection: sagging or a loss of flexibility results in soft or distorted bass. Also check the Motion ribbon tweeter, which is more fragile than a conventional dome and sensitive to blasts of air or power overloads. Finally, inspect the high-gloss cabinet, whose rounded corners easily show micro-scratches and chips.
