Electrostatic Heritage Meets Accessible Excellence
For over four decades, MartinLogan has redefined what's possible in speaker design. From their legendary curved electrostatic panels that grace the world's finest listening rooms to their revolutionary Folded Motion technology, they've consistently delivered the impossible: exotic performance at real-world prices.
The Motion Foundation series represents MartinLogan's most ambitious project yet - bringing their flagship technologies to emerging audiophiles without compromise. Using trickle-down engineering from their reference Motion XT series, these speakers prove that exceptional sound shouldn't require exceptional wealth.
Technology That Earned AVS Forum's Top Choice Award
- Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion Tweeter S: MartinLogan's most compact high-performance tweeter squeezes air through accordion-like folds, creating 8x the surface area of dome tweeters for effortless, distortion-free highs
- Folded Motion Waveguide: Revolutionary dispersion control ensures every seat experiences identical clarity - critical for vocals and ambient detail
- 6.5" Aluminum Driver: Borrowed from Motion XT series, this unibody cone delivers speed and accuracy paper drivers can't match
- McCracken-Vojtko Crossover: Proprietary network tuned through double-blind listening sessions for seamless driver integration at 3.8kHz
- Non-Resonant Cabinet: Asymmetrical internal chambers eliminate standing waves for pure, uncolored sound
The Verdict from the Audio Press
"The MartinLogan Foundation B2 speakers offer a dynamic and lively experience that distinguishes them in a crowded marketplace. These speakers are an exceptional value for the investment." - Erik Wesley, AVS Forum Top Choice Award 2023
"Suitable for both seasoned audiophiles and casual listeners, the Foundation B2 speakers are a versatile choice that redefines what bookshelf speakers can achieve across a variety of audio setups." - AVS Forum

What Makes the B2 Foundation Series Special
The B2 isn't just another bookshelf speaker - it's the largest and most capable monitor in MartinLogan's Foundation lineup. While competitors use conventional dome tweeters that compress at high volumes, the Folded Motion tweeter maintains crystalline clarity from whisper-quiet passages to reference-level playback.
That 6.5" aluminum driver delivers bass response down to 42Hz - territory usually requiring a subwoofer. Combined with 90dB sensitivity, these speakers sing with modest amplification while revealing every detail from high-end electronics. The Folded Motion Waveguide ensures your entire room becomes the sweet spot, not just one chair.
Perfect System Matching
Ideal for: Primary listening systems demanding full-range performance, near-field desktop monitoring, medium to large rooms, pairing with quality integrated amplifiers or receivers (50-100 watts recommended), listeners transitioning from mainstream to high-end audio, those seeking the MartinLogan sound without electrostatic investment, STAND25 mounting for optimal positioning.
Holiday Sale Guarantee: Brand new factory-sealed units with full 5-year MartinLogan warranty. This special pricing represents $225 savings on speakers that redefined their category, earning industry awards and converting skeptics into believers. Limited quantities at this price - the perfect gift for the audiophile in your life, including yourself.
