Product Description
The Martin Logan Motion F10 Speakers are the smallest floor standing model in the Motion range. The compact design will fit with any décor without dominating the room. The F10 is only 39” high but maintains the characteristic Martin Logan sound. The level of detail, clarity and dynamics defy expectations. Moreover, the Gen2 FMT tweeter and woven fibreglass midrange, along with twin 5.5” aluminium bass drivers, deliver plenty of punch. Advanced technologies and controlled dispersion result in an unparalleled listening experience. The maximum power is 250 watts with a frequency range of 38Hz to 25kHz. There are also bi-wire capable, five-way binding posts.
Gen 2 Folded Motion tweeter
The Motion F10 Speakers features Martin Logan’s renowned thin-film tweeter. Furthermore, the tweeter has been upgraded with a bigger motor structure and a higher output with less distortion. Another important feature with tweeters is the waveguide. The waveguide is the area around the HF driver, that directs the sound. Martin Logan looked at over 50 designs before choosing the current shape. The square concave shape gives the same dispersion pattern as the midrange unit. As a result, the sound from each arrives at the listener at the same time and at the same volume. Moreover, it minimises unwanted room reflections. The dispersion is also wider than with conventional tweeters.
Woven fibreglass midrange
The woven fiberglass midrange, of the Motion F10 Speakers, is both lightweight and strong. It can easily keep pace with the Gen 2 FMT tweeter, giving clear dialogue and lifelike instruments. The human voice sits in the midrange frequency and the driver needs to be top-quality to maintain clarity of vocals.
Twin Aluminium woofers
The dual woofers feature an aluminium cone with oversized motor structures. There is also a downward firing bass port for punchy bass. Bass ports boost the low-end performance of smaller speakers. Moreover, having the port at the bottom allows the speakers to be sited close to a wall. Rear firing ports can make positioning speakers more awkward due to bass bouncing off the wall, causing booming.
Fast outrigger feet
The tower floor standing models, in the Motion range have outrigger feet that provide good stability with any floor type. They can be used with rubber feet or spikes and can be levelled. Moreover, anti-vibration properties reduce the transfer of energy to the floor. This can reduce boominess and sound pickup by other equipment in the room. Any colouration is reduced along with distortion.
Who are Martin Logan?
Martin Logan are a U.S company that was founded in the late 1970’s. In the 1980’s they developed a state of the art electrostatic speaker range that they still make to this day. Early electrostatic speakers had several problems. The main one being what to make the diaphragm out of. Electrostatic speakers sounded better than any other speaker, but materials technology was not really up to the job. Early speakers used animal intestine for the diaphragm and this tended to disintegrate. As a result, martin Logan developed a Mylar diaphragm sandwiched between two stators. Today the Electrostatic range leads the pack. However, they also make advanced conventional speakers, such as the Motion F10 Speakers.
