The MartinLogan Motion Foundation F1 is a compact floorstanding speaker that delivers high-performance sound in a space-saving design. It features MartinLogan's signature Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S working with a custom Folded Motion Waveguide to provide exceptional clarity, detail, and immersion. The tweeter's low-mass diaphragm requires significantly less excursion than typical dome tweeters, utilizing an accordion-like folded structure for increased surface area and efficiency. The speaker employs a 3-way driver configuration with one 5.5" aluminum cone midrange driver and three 5.5" aluminum cone bass drivers that combine high strength and low mass for impressive speed and detail. The bass drivers incorporate MartinLogan's Floor Bounce Compensation technology to enhance bass output and extend room placement flexibility. The rear-ported cabinet design further enhances overall bass response. This speaker is perfect for those desiring floorstanding speaker performance with a more compact footprint than the larger Foundation F2, making it ideal for modestly sized rooms. The Motion Foundation series brings MartinLogan's renowned high-performance technologies to an accessible price point, leveraging 40 years of design and engineering expertise.
