Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ?


They seem to pack a lot of a speaker for the $...
Ribbon tweeter, nice aluminium 6.5in mid, 2 x 8 in woofers, polypropylene capacitors...

Who owns a pair ? And did some of you compare those with pricier speakers ?

The XT60's at around $1800 would seem to be a bargain going by what my Motion 40's sound like. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think the good folk at ML have scored a winner with the range of speakers.IMHO.
There are quite a few that say that these are awful. A lot of them do so after hearing them at a HiFi store next to another brand like Monitor Audio. Powered by receivers.

These have 4-ohm nominal impedance but go down below 3 ohms. Use a suitable amp and see the improvement in sound.

I had them at home side-by-side with Monitor Audio Gold GX300 ($5,600) for two weeks. Both powered by a Parasound A21 amp. Used room correction on both sets of speakers. The ML60XT blew away the MA GX300. If I knew how to post a photo here, I’d post one of them side by side in my house.

Didn’t work. Both the links in the post above this one were of the MA GX300. This one should be with the ML60XT.

YES YES YES...    I can't believe how well my Motion 60xl performs.  Every upgrade I have tried from amps, dacs and cables revealed the changes.   They are a true bargain!   When I demo speaker priced at $5K-15K USD , there have been only minor improvements and to me not worth the jump.   If you can buy the 60xt for the $2K pair clearance price do so. Otherwise, the new 60xti provides some improvements to the mid and bass but not by much.
