MartinLogan Motion 40i Theater System Review

 

The looks have been improved, but it's all about the delivery. And spoiler alert: MartinLogan delivers. Brand spanking new, MartinLogan adds to the...

Beautiful fit and finish ; Cohesive soundstage ; Clear highs, mids, and deep bass ; Great at loud and quiet moments ; This replacing my current system

This replacing my current system

This isn’t a budget system. It’s a step-up from my entry-level system and all in will run you about five grand (CAD) all in. Should a 12-inch 650-watt sub be too big for your listening room you could save a few bucks and get a smaller sub, you’re in...

MartinLogan Motion 40 Loudspeakers Reviewed

 

Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you get more than you pay for. At a $2,000 price tag, the MartinLogan Motion 40 loudspeakers could be either. Sean Killebrew reviews them to find out which is true.

MartinLogan Motion 40 Loudspeaker
