工程天才

是什麼讓Motion Series聽起來如此驚人? MartinLogan專注的內部工程團隊開始利用和改進最先進的緊湊技術,並將它們與創新工程相結合。結果是一種情感上引人注目的聲音,可以與傳統的大小和價格相近的揚聲器相媲美(並且大多數情況下都很麻煩)。

優雅的Motion 40採用先進的分辨率折疊式運動高音單元,5-1 / 2“鋁錐中音驅動器和雙6-1 / 2”鋁製錐形低音單元。

Motion 40卓越性能的部分秘訣在於雙超大黑鋁錐形低音揚聲器與後發射低音端口配對。超大低音揚聲器設計創造了更大的錐形區域,提供更高的輸出和更大的聲音,比它的小兄弟,Motion 20更加深沉的低音性能。增加一個專用的中低音揚聲器也可以在關鍵時刻提供更開放,更具啟發性和真實感的聲音中端。


FoldedMotion®高音揚聲器

標誌性折疊式運動高音揚聲器採用極低質量的振膜“擠壓”空氣,與典型的1英寸球頂高音揚聲器相比,所需的偏移量大大減少,從而大大減少了失真,同時提供了閃電般的快速響應時間。增加的表面積還提供寬廣但受控的聲音分散,以創建逼真且精心蝕刻的聲場。

MartinLogan Motion 40 and Motion 30 Review

"The thing I love most about the Motion 40s and Motion 30 in my surround system...is how revealing they are, without being punishing... The Motion 40s especially do an amazing job of delivering the increased dynamics and superior high-frequency sparkle of the high-res download, yet managed to do so without making the CD rip sound bad in the slightest. That’s an impressive trick, to say the least... So needless to say, I love them, especially for the price. "

MartinLogan Motion 40 Speaker System

"This system is so sublime and so thoroughly enthralling that it feels miserly to limit the description to super-premium. The MartinLogan Motion 40 system is one of those rare products that comes along in which every aspect construction, physical appearance, emotional appeal, etc. is so ideally matched in its expression to one another that the finished whole transcends the category that the parts would have normally put it in. This system has that special essence of completeness that’s extremely difficult to find at any price. Marvelous, MartinLogan. Absolutely marvelous. "

The workmanship in how they build a speaker is just as important modern lines I sit and stare wile listening to the deep bass. Sweet and Sass. love you guys keep it up.

Excellent ! but requires dual subs
Took me little over 3 months to decide on landing these pairs. I autionned PSB, Klipsch in the similar range and ML Motion 40 was totally in the different league. I will be really honest in thie review. You will need to get two subs to cover lower frequencies regardless the music or movies that you are playing. I am running Motion 40s with Dual SVS SB13s and it's an excellent subs to match. But you can also stick to the same brand, Dynamos I guess. I will be purchasing ESL Classic 9 soon and will compare with Motion 40, so stay tuned.

Old time ML listener
I have owned Martin Logan speakers for over 20 years. Models SL30, Cinema, Theater and Odyssey speakers. Needing to downsize I chose the Motion 40 speakers along with a Dynamo 700 sub. Once again Martin Logan has completely blown me away with an unbelievable sound stage that is spot on. The Motion 40 speakers are not as transparent as the electrostatic hybrids but they are darn close. Clear and precise sound is delivered from the Motion 40 speakers. I was also pleased with the tightness and sound of the Dynamo 700 sub. Prior to the Dynamo I had a pair of M&K subs. The Motion 40 speakers and Dynamo 700 in my opinion is another outstanding product delivered by Martin Logan. Outstanding ML!!!

Motion 40 - Amazing Bang for the Buck
I set up my new Motion 40s a couple weekends ago, along with a new Yamaha A-S1000 amp, Music Hall mmf 7.3 turntable, and Onkyo C-7030. I always research new purchases for quite a while and this was no exception for any of these items. All I can say is that these components together have a fantastic sound. This particular early review is on the Motion 40s. It is very obvious just upon unboxing these speakers that they are of very high grade. Mine are piano black and absolutely stunning in appearance. And although some music elites may consider these to be somewhat small floor speakers, in an average size room they fit right in. Hooking them up was very straight forward. These are installed on carpet and I will say that positioning them perfectly from the wall and triangulated with one another and the listening sweet spot takes a little effort...but effort well worth it. The instruction sheet says to break the speakers in at 90 dB for 72 hours before any critical listening. Well, at this point it's been only about 5 hours, so the break in has a way to go yet. But I will say that playing CD on the Onkyo player gave a superb, realistic, hi-fidelity sound. Playing LPs on the Music Hall TT varied according to which LP I played. All had the warm sound (compared to CD) I expected. But some sounded much better than others; the worst was Pink Floyd "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" remastering. The sound was very muddled; terrible. On all the LPs I have played thus far I definitely found that increasing treble by 1/2 and decreasing bass by 1/2 turn gave a much more realistic sound. One last thing: the folded motion transducer tweeter on these speakers is by far the best sounding I've ever heard, including a $40,000 pair of B&Ws at the Magnolia showroom. Yes the B&Ws sounded great, as they should for such a high price, but the ability of the Motion 40 tweeters on high frequency sound bested the B&Ws, in my opinion. I will review these once again after the break in time period.

Killer speakers for the $
We had a flood and re-did our basement. i decided to upgrade my stereo, and went on the hunt. I listened to many combos of receivers and speakers. I had my mind set on the Pioneer Elite SC-95 bc of its discreet amps, but had a hard time with the speakers. My high end budget was in the $1500/ea range. i listened to the Golden Ear, a few B&Ws, some higher end Polks, etc. I had pretty much decided on the B&W's until a Geek Squad guy said "wait, listen to one more". He then switched back and forth bw the B&W's and the Motion 40's, and i was blown away at the clear high end, and the dimension I could hear and "see". They immediately made the B&W's sound sort of "honky" in the mid, and the highs seemed sort of harsh. The M40's are just so easy to listen to, even before the break in period. Would highly recommend them to anyone. I am adding their Motion 8 center channel, and am listening to a few subs. my opinion is that the B&W's are a bit overrated.

Incredible Motion 40's
I have been into quality home hi-fi since 1969. I have owned over 15 sets of very decent speakers since that time. I remember first hearing the ESS-Heil speakers (Air Motion Transformer tweeters) in the early 70's, and being absolutely blown away! But at that time, the Heils were out of my budget range. But as time passed I moved from Massachusetts to Vancouver British Columbia, Canada; and my budget went up. Some of the best speakers I've had were from Totem, B&W, Vandersteen,& Monitor Audio. But they all had one thing in common---fairly traditional tweeters. I always was aware of the fact that after an hour or so, I would regularly experience listener fatigue. They all sounded too bright eventually, and reminded me of the differences between digital & analogue sound. So when a recent move to downsize to a townhouse, from a house with cathedral ceilings and large listening area, I had to replace my large B&W Nautilus 803's (NOT diamond tweeters), I decided that I would do a bit more research to see if I could find not only something smaller, but speakers that had excellent tweeters that would not sound overly bright, no matter how long I listened. Enter the Martin Logan Motion 40's! I was hoping that the Air Motion Ribbon like tweeters would be the ticket---and all I can say is RIGHT ON! I now realize that for me, speakers should be constructed from the top down. I've always loved female vocals, good drumming (e.g. Joe Morello), piano & other sounds that had warm & clear highs. The Motion 40's are without question the BEST (and NOT most expensive!) speakers I have owned. In fact, I bought a used set of ML 15's for my bedroom about 2 months before I got the 40's, and I was very impressed with the soundstage and the highs, that were never too bright & fatiguing. Everything about the 40's is first class. The bass is tight & full despite the size of the woofers. The finish is absolutely beautiful & the footprint is quite small. My wife loves these speakers and that is way more important than I had ever realized! But it's the tweeters that are the most amazing. I have a Joe Morello CD that he plays an extended solo right at the beginning of TAKE 5. He hits the rims of the drums a lot, and makes full use of the cymbals. When I close my eyes, it feels like I'm sitting right there in front of Joe! I also have some Reference Recordings of classical music & a couple of SACD's of Jonathan Bell on violin, that are absolutely breathtaking with the Motion 40's. The fact that I was able to negotiate the price to just under $2,000 CANADIAN (that's about $1,400 U.S.!!!), makes this piece of equipment the BEST hi-fi deal I've ever made, and that includes my purchases of used equipment as well! I've always liked the sound of electro-statics like the other Martin Logans & the Magneplanars, but they have always been way too big in my living room. I can only imagine the reaction from my normally very accommodating wife. So...PLEASE, if you're in the market for some great speakers at a very reasonable price, you owe it to yourself to check out the ML Motion 40's. I am SO grateful for all the people who took the time to review them online, which propelled me to go have a listen. That's why I have taken the time to write this review. I hope it helps you in your decision.

Superior Sound
Just picked up my Motion 40's + Pioneer Elite SC-95, and without even haven broken them in or bi-amped (which I am going to do), they sound incredible. One of my neighbors has brought several people over to listen to them. I chose a wide variety of music to test them out with, and there isn't any genre I listened to that fell short. Am going to use them for music-only, and use another pair of front mains for surround/movies. Extremely happy, and highly recommend them.

By far the best bang for your buck, absolutely just fantastic. No distortion no matter what I throw at them. Crisp and full, could not sound better if I were there live. My friends that have heard are in awe, in my opinion don't hesitate.

BOOM!!!
Just grabbed a pair of these amazing speakers, and instantly transformed our living room into a great entertainment area. Movies and Music sound crisp and powerful. These speakers have great bass as well, but when I paired them with my a 12" Klipsch sub, sound was amazing. Looking forward to purchase 2 more speakers to complete surround system. I just snagged a Martin Logan Feature center channel which makes it that much sweeter. Martin Logan, thank you for making such beautiful, stylish equipment that the spouse approves of!!! greatly recommended!!!

MOTION SERIES SPEAKERS
My wife and I had been talking about changing the speakers for the past two years because we have high ceilings in our living room which are not conducive to listening to movies. We always had trouble with hearing the conversations. I finally decided it was time to upgrade the whole sound system. My brother has always had great sound systems and I used to love watching movies whenever I would go visit him. So where I am going with this is after going to Best Buy with my brother I listened to several speakers. When the young lady that was helping us recommended listening to the Martin Logan's my brother and I were super impressed. We were listening to the Motion 15's. When I returned back to where I live my wife and I took a ride to Best Buy and went to the Magnolia room to listen again. I decided that I would go with the Motion 40's in front, Motion 8 center, Motion 4's for the rear and a Dynamo 700w sub. My room now sounds better that a movie theater. Music is clear and defined along with a fullness I did not was achievable with the room shape. I will tell you what I read in another review was a great comment. You have to get the speakers broke in as the instructions tell you. Be patient as it is worth the wait. I have about 36 hours on them and they sound better every time I listen. Running a SC-91 Pioneer Elite. Fantastic receiver to boot. Trower

This Is It!!
I have been a serious audio enthusiast since I first heard my Uncle's four speaker stereo in 1973. A 16x16 room with a speaker in each corner (RTR's). I was in music heaven and swore that I would someday have a system that would sound as great as his. Well, 42 years later I found that system, (can you believe that? 42 years?!) after owning speakers like Sony, JBL, AR, Sansui, Pioneer, and most recent Klipsch, only better, much better than what I experienced in 1973, with my new Martin Logan Motion 40's along with Motion 30 center, Motion 15 for surrounds and a Dynamo700 sub. I am in love. Again. More.

Phenomenal Quality
I've lived with the Motion 40 loudspeakers for three years now. Currently they are being driven in a bi-amp configuration using a Marantz NR1603 AVR to drive the highs and mids, and a Marantz MM7025 to drive the bass. Sound is indescribable. They are setup in the living room of my 900 square foot condo and the sound is full and articulate. The motion tweeter is in an absolute class of its own, and more than enough reason in itself for buying these. The clarity isn't quite as transparent as you might find on their electrostatic loudspeakers, but it is clear that the idea was to get as close as possible. ML rates these as 40-20k Hz, and in my room (18x20, ceramic tile floor) rarely do I long for a sub, and almost never while listening to music. The NR1603 is a class AB amplifier rated at 50 wpc, and that alone isn't quite enough to drive them to their limits. I'd recommend at least 100 wpc to truly get everything out of these. My plan at some point is to replace my MM7025 with a Marantz PM-11S3 integrated. Many reviews will say these perform above their price point, and I agree. $2,000 a pair is a steal. You won't be disappointed. I routinely fall in love with these over and over again.

Wow, what an upgrade
After a long hiatus from making any substantial core purchases to my system, my time had come. I had recently purchased a Sony XBR70 4k television so I needed to "graduate" to the next level with my audio set up. After much research, I discovered that ML was the only way to go for me. I went with the Motion 40's and Dynamo 1000W. I will be purchasing a ML center channel soon! These 40's sound amazing. The tweeters are picking up nuance and creating an image that I didn't know existed. They provide enough punch, but the Dynamo 1000W provides real bottom end that's enough to shake the windows. We have a large Great Room and this little setup will fill the entire room with quality sound throughout. I love it and so glad that my eyes (and ears) were open to ML. Thank you for making a quality product. By the way, the wife even approves and really likes the look of the 40's. The grille, the angled lines, and piano finish keep it classy! Brian

Martin Logan Motion 40's
For quite some time, I've been considering making an investment in full range tower speakers. considering my love of music and all things related to High Quality sound, it's a bit of a mystery that I've never made the leap to reference quality before. I've read a ton of reviews and articles pointing to tower speakers as a must for any serious audio enthusiast. We currently own a couple Polk theater package matched speakers and Focal Sib & Cub. About a week ago, I came across my first big speaker purchase sitting in some corner of our basement.... A pair of Klipsch KG4's with the passive radiator Woofer.... Could they still work after lying dormant all these years??? i had to find out. So, I carried them upstairs to compare to our Focal Sib and cub Speaker system. I snagged the wires out of my front Focal's and connected them to the Klipsch KG4s. I slapped the Soundtrack to Schindlers List into the BluRay player, and pressed play.... WHOA!!! You gotta be kidding me! Did I really just leave these things sitting unused for 15 years? The sound filled the room with a combination of warmth and clarity that reminded me why I fell in love with the KG4s in the first place. the KG4s have a fullness I'd not heard from our current speakers in quite some time. Even my non-audiophile "don't spend money on that stuff" wife could hear the difference. Had the speakers not been so bulky and beat up, I'd would've tried to convince my non-audiophile wife to let me keep them in our living room. Instead, I did what any impulsive self-proclaimed audiophile would do.... I hopped in the car and beelined to the nearest highend audio store to demo some towers! with the help of a very knowledgeable salesman, I was able to test a wide range of speakers in a highly efficient manner. we went back forth testing BW C2- C5, Martin Logan Motion 15s through 40, sonus faber venere 1.5-3.0, Martin Logan Electrostatic, etc. It didn't take long for me to conclude that the Martin Logan Motion 40s were at the top of the list of speakers in consideration. Vs other speakers in the 2k range, the ML 40s possessed a sound quality that haunted me all that night after leaving the store. i couldn't get the faithful sound reproduction created by the ribbon tweeter out of my head. Sure enough... Two day later, I called the store, purchased the speakers, and went to pick them up later that night. Once home, as instructed, I hooked them up to my Denon AVR 1911 receiver in bi-amp fashion, slapped in the Soundtrack from Schindlers list, and pressed play.... Whoa!! Best speakers I've ever heard in my own home. Brilliant sound reproduction. I'm convinced we've missed out on portions of our music in the midrange for years. Looking forward to getting these things broken in. The ML 40s can compete against speakers that are much more expensive. No regrets on this purchase. Thanks for reading.

Outstanding value
I did a lot of shopping before selecting the Motion 40's to fill my 20x20 room. They replaced a pair of vintage Advents. I considered Sonus Faber, Bowers & Wilkins, Vienna Acoustics, KEF, etc. I am simply amazed with the motion 40's. They are highly efficient and easy to drive. The sound is quite stunning coming from the smartly sized and well placed drivers. The folded style tweeter is amazingly clear and accurate. The design and build quality are first rate even though they are manufactured in China. I especially like the Gloss black finish, fine details like rounded edges, the metal grills, the rear port, and the artistic binding posts. Lastly, I like that Martin Logan is based in Lawrence, Kansas where the designers seem to have anticipated my every request. Well Done!

Excellent sounding speakers
After listening to every floor standing & bookshelf offering from B&W, PSB, and ML in the $2K - $3.5K range, the Motion 40 & Dynamo Sub combination simply has the best sound. I preferred the voicing of these speakers even over the Motion 60XT and redesigned B&W CM series. I am using these in a 2, occasionally 2.1, channel music-only setup. ML marketing has put a good deal of emphasis on the aesthetics of these speakers - they do look beautiful though the silky ribbon highs and articulate low end are far more stunning. My budget far exceeded the cost of this system, but as audio engineers say, "what sounds right, is right". An incredible product even at twice the price. To put my view in perspective, I was a professional studio engineer for many years and still regularly listen to music / mix / master on everything from Yamaha NS-10s up to the B&W Nautilus 802s. I chose the Motion 40s for the casual listening room in my home and could not be happier within the budget for that room.

Astonishing sound!
First, I am not an expert reviewer, just someone who loves good sounding speakers. I had auditioned speakers from Bowers & Wilkins (CM9s), Monitor Audio Silver 8s, and the Motion 20s. Actually, it was a little difficult because I could not listen to them at the same time. However, the clarity of the highs and the speed of the bass are what won me over to the 40s. I have them bi-amped with a Denon A-3000 receiver, and have driven them to over 100 spls (short bursts) with no problem. For home theater, I have a motion 12 speaker, which is also excellent. The only problem now is that I will need Martin Logan speakers for the rear surrounds. The initial sound was only fair which worried me, but after a few weeks, the sound just opened up to something beautiful. You really need the 72 hours break in period for these babies to shine. I won't say that I heard sounds that I never heard before, as I have always had decent speakers. However, acoustic guitars, female and male vocalist gave me a sense of being at a live concert, IMHO. I now listen to music much more than I watch movies now. Finally, they look gorgeous in my listening room.

Simply the BEST!
I originally went into BB Magnolia to purchase a pair of B&W 683 S2's for my home theater setup. My budget was in the $2k range so I knew I could get a great pair of floor standing speakers that would last me for years. Now keep in mind that before I settled for a pair, I stopped by Magnolia during lunch break for an entire week before making my decision. I started off with the B&W 683 S2's paired with a Pioneer Elite SC-81, the B&W 683 S2's sounded warm (which is my preference), full and powerful as expected. I then thought to myself, why not try the Motion 40's? I've heard nothing but the best from reviewers online who actually have them with a more than capable receiver. So what did I do? Switched the setup over to the Martin Logan Motion 40's and my ears were blown away! The sound reproduction coming from the Martin Logan Motion 40's were just insane and out of this world, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! What I loved the most about the Martin Logan Motion 40's were the high crisp details that I didn't even know existed until I heard the sound reproduction straight from these awesome speakers, compared to the B&W 683 S2's it was a no competition, the Motion 40's wiped the floor and it wasn't even close in my honest opinion. With that said, I bought a pair, hooked them up to my Pioneer Elite SC-71 AV Receiver and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I initially thought I'd need my subwoofer but with these babies bi-amped there was no need for a subwoofer at all. The Pioneer Elite SC-71 provides more than enough juice with it's Class-D amp. Go buy these speakers NOW, Martin Logan outdid themselves on this one, truly one of the best speakers that I've ever heard in my life!

Great Speakers
The Martin Logan 40 Towers produce a clean, crisp, clear sound that is exact! The quality of the build is excellent with a great looking finish. I also like the bi-amping connections for superior performance. With the arrival of Dolby Atmos receivers, I would really like Martin Logan to offer a Dolby Atmos capable speaker add on that could be mounted on the top of the Motion Series to enable present owners the additional top mounted reflected sound possible with Dolby Atmos. Hopefully a solution will arrive soon. Keep up the great work and innovation Martin Logan! You are tops on my speaker list

Best speakers I have ever owned
The Motion 40 was not my initial pick when browsing for a system, considering Martin Logan's rich lore and reputation is focused on their electrostatic speakers. But when I listened to them and realized how closely the Motion 40s reproduce that airy crystalized sound that Martin Logan is famous for, I had to do a double take. It hard to make speakers that are truly transformative in this day in age, but I feel like every song, every movie, every piece of content I listen to with this system (2 ML 40s, 1 ML 30, 2 ML4s, 1 Dynamo 700w) is now a special experience. If you haven't considered these speakers for your high quality system, don't hesitate. A side note, I almost feel as though Best Buy is not worthy to sell these, but if they didn't sell them, I may have never heard them so there you go.

Speakers for a lifetime......
These Motion 40's replaced Infinity Reference Standard Kappa 7's a 3 way speaker system purchased in 1992. NO comparison ! Besides newer technology, the craftsmanship is superb ! The Kappa's had a wonderful wood enclosure. These are the black wood finish, just beautiful. They are part of a 2 channel system in my home. I am thrilled with the sound, obviously and the quality. Thank You ML for proving that Quality & Craftsmanship is alive and well in the USA!!! PS: I believe that audio box stores should remain a part of the retail main stream in America. One cannot know how a sound system appeals to their discriminating taste unless you hear it for yourself. The internet cannot do that for you.....

Amazing
These speakers put out the most crisp sound of any speakers I have listened to. The Folded Motion Tweeters produce sounds I never would have known existed in the music or movie.

Wonderful
Just bought this speakers - Motion 40. Wonderful for home theater 5.1 - I paired it with NAD and Stereo with my vintage Carver stereo system. Sound pristine! I would recommend to anyone who want to upgrade his/her home system.

Just Bliss
Hello! I walked in to my non-local Magnolia Theatre set with a mind that id be buying speakers finally after two years of looking. I was set on Klipsch RF-82 I had heard them and spent enough time with them to almost be married. Here comes the twist! As my personal Magnolia Designer asked me "Have you ever heard of Martin Logan?" I said "Have I!" I'd love to get me a pair but I'm sure their pricy. So as I started listening to Chopin and Pavaroti on these beautiful delicate and finesse sounding but deep and crisp speakers; I asked for he price. I was amazed. They were definitely higher then that of the Klipsch however their reasons for being did not leave me with any doubt! So I bought them! With an accompanying Motion 30 center and four Motion 15 to compliment the surround. Since I already had a Dynamo! There was nothing else to complete! I've had the system for 24 hours and I can't stop saying this I love them! Yet theres only one bad thing I can actually complain about. Not Martin Logan's fault or maybe, but finding mounting brackets for the Motion 15's has been horrible due to the thread and size of 3/18-16 with the weight of 12 pounds. Overall though. Beautiful, elegant, sincere sound. I have my Chopin and Pavaroti giving a concert in my theatre now nightly. Thank you Martin Logan! -B

Incredible Sound
I went to BestBuy to find floor speakers that I could pair with a new Sony Bravia 55" TV...and use for listening to music as well. I didn't want to set up surround sound - just 2 channel. The sales person recommended the Martin Logan Motion 20's or 40's. After listening to both speaker set ups for music and a blueray movie I selected the 40's. I couldn't be happier with the performance for both listening to music and watching movies. The clarity, sound reproduction, and full sound stage are unsurpassed by any speakers anywhere near the price range. Highly recommend these speakers...they are amazing!!

Amazing Speakers
I haven't had heard any speakers as these before. The bass is incredible and the twitter marvellous so the quality of the sound is amazing. I congratulate ML for this piece of technology and art. After I hooked the Motion 40 to my Hi-Fi set (HK 990/HD 990/JBL E250P), my house filled with a profound sound and I jumped to another listening dimension. I'm not kidding; try them in your Hi-FI dealer and discover it by yourself.

WOW
I own a pair of ML Motion 40's and have been breaking them in for the past 2 weeks. I tested them on both Music and HT...my room is 24x24 9'ceiling. I am amazed how how effortlessly and relaxed the sound fills my room from my Onkyo TX SR 805. The sound stage is large, clean and un-colored. I hear thing I never heard before from my old music collection. I just love these Piano Black Beauties and the smile it puts on my face. Oh...they pass the spouse test too...catch her cranking em when I get home from work...well worth the price!!!

Great Sound
Crystal clear sound from all around. Makes a 5.1 System sound even better than most.

Exquisite Sound
I originally came into my local Best Buy Magnolia HiFi center to listen to another pair of speakers. These little gems were not even on my radar. The look of the speakers lead me to believe they were several times more expensive than what the actually price was. A beautiful piano gloss black finish and speaker grills that dictate there is something sinister underneath. Needless to say I was shocked when these were fired up and played sound that was just amazing. I did not believe that the bass response from these and even looked for a subwoofer that my have been on at that time, but these little gems were the only speakers playing. The Highs, Mids, and Lows from this speaker seem to defy what should be allowed to be produced from a loud speaker this size and at this price point. I took them home and now am a proud owner of a pay of ML Motion 40. They complement my system well and I still cannot stop staring at these beautiful works of art. Amazing accurate bass, solid Mids, and High frequency response that will amaze you, all from one sexy package.
