![]() MartinLogan 60XTi Floorstanding Speakers Review "Whether you listen to a turntable such as me or stream your music, with the MartinLogan 60XTi you can put together a system for under $6,000 that will give you a wonderful listening experience for years, if not decades to come." MartinLogan Motion 60XTi Loudspeakers "As I listened over several days, the Motion 60XTi’s kept singing the same song: taut, extended bass a present, detailed, lively midrange and a smooth, delicately extended top end that seemed just about perfectly balanced, neither muted nor over-emphasized." This Home Theater System Blew Me Away - MartinLogan 60XTi, 50XTi and FX2 Speakers " " ![]() " The experience of listening to different materials with different components of the system allows us to conclude that the MartinLogan 60XTi is a completely neutral and most transparent means of reproduction." This pragmatic approach allows MartinLogan speakers to sound their best in real-world rooms. ![]() The final (and most critical) aspect of a Vojtko Crossover is that final voicing is conducted in a space that is indicative of a real-world environment. Vojtko crossovers are always built from high-quality parts, and care is taken to avoid overly complex topologies-a straightforward objective due to the careful selection of woofers and tweeters. Before the design of any crossover begins, drivers are carefully selected or designed to operate within a very intentional frequency range and with precise and predictable performance parameters. The drivers themselves are as much a part of a Vojtko crossover as are capacitors and resistors. Vojtko crossovers are designed in such a way that all drivers are kept within their optimal frequency range and balanced with one another. ![]() A Vojtko crossover isn't so much a set of design requirements as it is a philosophy. His unique approach to crossover design is as big of a part of the "MartinLogan Sound" as are electrostatic and Folded Motion thin-film driver technologies. Vojtko crossovers are named after MartinLogan's chief audio technologist, Joe Vojtko. Premium Motion Series speakers feature proprietary Vojtko crossover networks using polypropylene and low-DF electrolytic capacitors, custom-wound inductors, and thermal and current protection. Stiffening the suspension (the spider and surround) raises the driver's resonant frequency and optimizes its performance to achieve a natural roll-off and inherently operate within an ideal range for a mid-frequency reproduction (as opposed to a comparably sized woofer). To deliver accuracy in the critical midrange, mid-frequency drivers feature a specially engineered "stiff" suspension. An added benefit of aluminum is its outstanding thermal conduction capability which allows cones to serve as efficient heat sinks for voice coils. This, along with the exceptional damping properties of aluminum, ensures the smooth, non-resonant response necessary for seamless blending with high-resolution Folded Motion tweeters. The use of aluminum for cones maximizes rigidity and strength of the drivers without adding excessive weight. A unique concave dust cap design reinforces the strength and rigidity of the cone while reducing break up modes. Powerful Aluminum Cone Mid-Frequency and Bass DriversĬustom built, low-distortion drivers pair high-power magnet structures with aluminum cone diaphragms to deliver massive excursion and sound output, preserve minute bass details, and maximize power handling capability, all without a hint of distortion. The result-superior realism and alarming specificity is aurally astounding, and only by MartinLogan. This tweak increases audible bandwidth without sacrificing details and minimizes distortion to an unprecedented level while increasing efficiency and the tweeter's already lightning-fast response time. Folded Motion XT tweeters, advanced thin-film transducer technology even further, with a 40% larger radiating surface and 80x30-degree controlled dispersion. It's a miracle of audio engineering that's able to deliver much of the high-frequency detail and speed of a large, dynamic electrostatic panel in a small space. Its folded design allows for a much larger surface area (compared to that of a regular 1-inch dome tweeter), controlled dispersion characteristics, and vanishingly low distortion. MartinLogan's signature Folded Motion tweeter utilizes an extremely low mass diaphragm that "squeezes" air, thus demanding significantly less excursion than the typical 1-inch dome tweeter.
