The MartinLogan Motion 4i is a compact bookshelf speaker inspired by the company's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers. It features an innovative Folded Motion tweeter with a low-mass diaphragm providing lightning-fast response and large surface area for detailed highs, paired with a 4-inch paper cone woofer and Cascading Bass Reflex Port for surprisingly deep bass from a small enclosure. The proprietary Vojtko crossover ensures seamless integration. Flexible mounting options include tabletop, on-wall, or upside-down installation. Ideal for stereo or home theater setups, it delivers smooth, refined sound with wide dispersion and dynamic range at an affordable price.
