Distinctive Design, Elegant Execution, Beautiful Sound. Motion: Reimagined.
Motion F10
While the Motion® F10 is the smallest floorstanding model in our assortment, it offers impressive levels of detail, clarity, and dynamics that defy the expectations of its compact design. With a height of under 39", the Motion® F10 can fit into almost any decor without being overbearing. With the combination of our Gen2 FMT, Woven Fiberglass midrange, and dual 5.5" aluminum bass drivers, Motion® F10 provides an engaging listening experience for all of your favourite content.
Motion®: Reimagined
Our most ambitious acoustic and aesthetic development in MartinLogan's 40-year history. Motion® Series 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 a whole new level of quality and excellence.
Legendary MartinLogan Sound
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
Our 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.
Folded Motion® Waveguide
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.
F.A.S.T. Outrigger Feet
The tower models in the Motion® range are designed with tool-less height adjustability in mind, using the included rubber feet or spikes, which enables the user to effortlessly level the speaker for optimal stability on any floor. Additionally, the built-in anti-vibration properties reduce the transfer of energy from the speaker to the floor, resulting in lower distortion and coloration, providing a more accurate and detailed sound.
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, providing crystal clear dialogue and vocals, as well as lifelike instrumentals.
Aluminum Bass Drivers
The exceptional characteristics of aluminum make it an ideal choice for bass drivers. When paired with oversized motor structures and a downward-firing port, the new Motion® speakers are extremely easy to place in any room while providing outstanding bass performance at any volume.
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.

Value for Money
92/100
The MartinLogan Motion F10 delivers room-filling dynamics, muscular bass and a richly detailed presentation from a compact, amplifier-friendly tower. Sound Advice praised its focused vocals, stereo precision and easy placement, while Adrian found its broad soundstage and surprisingly potent low end especially compelling. A seriously engaging all-rounder with high sensitivity and confident scale.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Big, powerful and dynamic sound with substantial bass output for a relatively compact floorstander.
Focused vocals, strong detail retrieval and a solid, expansive stereo image.
High sensitivity makes it rewarding with modest amplification, while the downward-firing port supports easier placement.
&
Cons
Treble can sound slightly bright or spitty on some material, so treble-sensitive listeners should match electronics and positioning carefully.
Image depth is broad but may not be as intricately layered as larger, more expensive designs.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 90/100
Reviewers describe an engaging, large-scale presentation that combines substantial bass weight with clear vocals, strong stereo focus and an easy ability to play loudly. The overall character is warm and rich without giving up detail, though one listening account found the very lowest kick-drum fundamentals less fully developed and another noted a slight treble edge on some material.
Bass
91/100
Sound Advice heard plentiful, powerful bass from the twin woofers, while Adrian found the low end remarkably forceful, clean and impressive for such a compact tower. One observation notes that kick drums have satisfying harmonic fullness but could use more support in their 50–60Hz fundamentals when used full-range.
Mid
90/100
Voices are described as especially well focused, with lush warmth and strong retrieval of performance detail. Adrian similarly praised neutral, articulate and well-separated midrange reproduction, although he found female vocals slightly recessed beside the larger F100.
Treble
87/100
Adrian generally found the upper range smooth, neutral and free of edge, with brushes and instruments reproduced cleanly rather than scratchily. His comments were not wholly uniform, however: he also heard a little spit and occasional harshness, so careful partnering and auditioning remain worthwhile for treble-sensitive listeners.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Stereo focus and image solidity receive emphatic praise, with a stable image available without extreme toe-in. Adrian also heard an expansive, wall-to-wall stage with impressive depth, though he found its layers less fully delineated than those of the larger model.
Dynamics
92/100
The F10 is repeatedly portrayed as lively and capable of convincing large-scale swings, from orchestral crescendos to rock and dance music at high levels. Reviewers also report clean bass under pressure and a strong sense of musical drive without requiring a particularly powerful amplifier.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
92/100
Sound Advice calls the fit and finish excellent and describes the cabinet as solidly made, with or without its grilles. The substantial outrigger system, adjustable feet, anti-vibration provisions and bi-wire/bi-amp terminals add practical polish, while the downward-facing port aids placement near room boundaries.
Value for Money
92/100
At the listed $1,399.99 price, the F10 brings unusually large, high-sensitivity sound to a relatively attainable floorstanding-speaker segment. Adrian, citing a $2,500 US price in his review context, still called its value proposition extremely good; reviewers also highlight that it achieves its scale without demanding a large amplifier.
