Personally, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and associate Martin Logan with electrostatic speakers. If that's your preference, There are electrostatic ones for $50 cheaper each.Link. [amazon.com]

Their electrostatics are great. Big fan.

But.... they aren't good for a room with a wide variety of seating positions (because every seat gets a different experience).

And for me personally, my wife wouldn't let electrostatics into the living room.... and i know it's the same for a lot of other audiophiles who have partners.

By the way.... the rosewood finish on the Motion speakers is absolutely beautiful. I admire it every single day. (In fact the finish made it so that I had no hesitation from my wife about these speakers coming into the living room Smilie

Great speakers. Sounds Transparent almost like an Electrostat. I have owned an ML Vista, Montage and Motion 4. However, you can get a ML electrostat for this price.

I have used the 60XT's (the old version of these) in my living room for around 5 years, they're amazing. I also worked with Martin Logan to replace a broken tweeter on a 15 year old speaker I bought off craigslist and they shipped me a new tweeter for $15 + shipping long after the warranty had expired. Great speakers and a good company too.

Funny. I was thinking about moving my Martin Logan electrostatics from the living room to my game room. It was my wife who stopped me since she liked how elegant they looked. She also enjoyed the look on people's faces seeing them the first time when they realized they were speakers. When my cousin saw them for the first time, his wife convinced him to buy a set for their living room. YMMV I suppose.

I don't agree about the difficulty in their placement. The only item to watch out for is the distance to the wall behind the speaker as electrostatics fire both to the front and to the rear. If there is a "downside", for the lack of a better term, is that they require a lot of power.

That being said. I've heard nothing but good things about the speakers on this thread.

And to add to the problem, they got to be placed pretty far from the rear walls to open up. If I had a dedicated stereo listening room they would be my first choice. Or perhaps second! (Maggies)

They are slightly cheaper on amazon for $1299. A "new" pair saves you $26 compared to others. Check attached picture

If honestly pay $26 to get them from BBY. The return and ability to exchange locally is worth $13 each personally. Good speakers BTW. I just demod these at BBY this week. Really nice. I honestly likes them better than the electrostatics for movies. For music the electrostatics were hands down better.

Steve Guttenberg The Audiophiliac on YouTube talked about electrostatic speakers. Check out his channel if you have a chance.

I feel the same.

I think the only online retailer that makes speaker returns easy is Crutchfield. But sadly, their current sale price on the 60XTI is not as low as Best Buy and Amazon.
