MartinLogan Motion B10 Bookshelf Speaker - Black

A Large Level of Musicality in a Compact Speaker

For a bookshelf speaker that sounds much larger than its modest dimensions, the MartinLogan Motion® B10 offers impressive performance from its Gen2 Folded Motion Tweeter and Woven Fiberglass mid-bass driver. It delivers a level of musicality and scale not typical of its size.

At less than 10" deep, the Motion® B10 is a practical option for placement on a shelf, desk, cabinet, or other flat surface. For those desiring a stand mount solution, MartinLogan's optional (sold separately) STAND25 speaker stand can bolt directly into the bottom of the speaker for maximum stability.

Upgrades Start Here

"Upgrades start with the new Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter, which uses larger magnets to achieve higher output while lowering distortion," observes Bob Ankosko, Sound&Vision, February 7, 2023. "The company has also redesigned the horn-like waveguide attached to the Folded Motion Tweeter, settling on the final version only after evaluating almost 50 design iterations with the goal of enhancing the consistency, dispersion, and output of the tweeter."

The Motion Series is MartinLogan's most ambitious acoustic and aesthetic development in the company's 40-year history. Motion defines elegance and performance by leveraging exclusive technologies and decades of experience. The result is a loudspeaker collection that is not just an upgrade of its predecessor, but also a whole new level of quality and excellence.

MartinLogan speakers are known for their exceptional articulation, detail, and realism, regardless of the listening environment. By using advanced thin-film technologies and Controlled Dispersion, MartinLogan delivers a unique and unparalleled listening experience that is not commonly found in other speakers.

Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion® Tweeter and Waveguide

MartinLogan's signature thin-film tweeter technology just got better. With an upgraded motor structure, the latest Gen2 FMT provides higher output and lower distortion than ever before.

After an extensive evaluation of nearly 50 design options, the Folded Motion® Waveguide profile was meticulously chosen to harmoniously align with the dispersion of the midrange drivers, resulting in enhanced output. The waveguide guarantees consistent sound quality regardless of the listener's position and minimizes unwanted room reflections. Proper waveguide design is crucial, as it helps control the sound's dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sound is evenly distributed across the listening area and resulting in optimal sound quality.

Woven-Fiberglass Midrange

The lightweight and strong Woven Fiberglass midrange in the Motion® series is perfectly suited for keeping pace with Motion’s Gen2 FMT. It provides crystal clear dialog and vocals, as well as lifelike instrumentals.

Modern Design Featuring Luxurious Finishes

The latest Motion® speakers utilize cutting-edge technology and the highest quality materials to deliver sound quality that is truly unmatched. Their sleek, sophisticated design is an artful complement to any interior.

Available in three finishes of Satin White, Walnut or Gloss Black, these speakers are an exquisite addition to any discerning individual's home. Upgrade your audio experience and enhance your space with the Motion® series.

"Upgrades start with the new Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter, which uses larger magnets to achieve higher output while lowering distortion. In the higher-end XT series, tweeter surface area has also been increased 40% over the previous generation. A surface area that is considerably larger than a conventional dome tweeter is one of the key performance benefits of Folded Motion technology along with the ability to react faster than a dome due to its low mass. Even MartinLogan’s standard Folded Motion Tweeter has a surface area that’s eight times larger than a conventional dome."

"The company has also redesigned the horn-like waveguide attached to the Folded Motion Tweeter, settling on the final version only after evaluating almost 50 design iterations with the goal of enhancing the consistency, dispersion, and output of the tweeter."
