Any Thoughts On These?


high-amp
I auditioned the 60's and the ESL's in the same room with the same music.  I bought the ESL's.  When switching from the ESL to the 60, the soundfield collapsed, the voices and the lower midrange in general sounded boxy and like they were confined to the speaker cabinet.  There was no contest.  As for the LSA-20, they appear to be yet another box speaker with yet another soft dome tweeter.
My Dad snagged a pair of the older Motion 60 XT speakers as everyone was offering them on deep discount right before the new XTI came out. They are good speakers if you can snag them on sale but I wouldn’t pay full price. Consequently he does use DSP with them.
I worked at Magnolia for a short time and got to demo the Motion speakers.  Not a fan.  To me the sound was muddled and not coherent.  Save yourself $1200 and buy the LSA-20 Signatures available on sale here for $2300 new — they’ll blow the MLs away.  Best of luck.

djones - looks interesting:

no, I have not seen them but I will try and source out a dealer and see if I can get a chance to listen to them! Thanks 
Have you by any chance listened to the new Paradigm Founder 120H? I know nothing about them since they're so new just curious if you've come across them in your search.
Ok thank so much djones, great advice! Anthem is the sister company of ML. I did see that these made the cover of the Audio Advisors Spring catalog. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not?

I will head your advice too ozzy62. Pass the mustard please. Do they take Visa?

Notice the first graph between between 85hz-10khz it looks sort of like a smiley face.
High 94db @ 85hz and 10khz
Low 86db @ 1.5khz 
It shows the off axis in chart A  15° and 30° 
Farther off axis in the next chart. Significant drop off after 5khz
These types of speakers that measure this way are meant to sound good in dealerships,  bass and treble bump, in homes you will usual get more boomy bass and  brighter highs. 
These look like  pretty good speakers for the price.  I've seen charts a lot worse but you might consider DSP somewhere in your chain of gear to help smooth these speakers a bit in your house. That's why I mentioned the Anthem STR in your other thread. If you use Roon you can measure with  a UMIK 1 and REW and apply some filters in Roon which is a nice feature.
Of course they might sound fine to you in your house just something to consider when shopping speakers.

I'll be here all week. Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress.........
Quicksilver preamp and 60 wpc monoblocks.
Wound up with Salk SS6m.
Tried other speakers, too. Happy to chat with you. P.M. me if you like.
hilde45 - excellent comments, thanks very much. What amp were you using and what speakers did you end up with?

I tried them extensively thanks to Crutchfield generous 2 month audition policy. I decided not to keep them and it only cost $10 each to ship them back. This was last summer. I think they are fantastic speakers and they were too bright in my space because my ceilings are very low, but the combination of the a AMT Twitter and the bass and mid range drivers was fantastic. I would seriously consider these.
