## Overview

The MartinLogan Motion 8i Center Channel Speaker combines advanced Folded Motion tweeter technology and powerful bass in a sleek, compact design. Engineered with precision Vostro crossover components, it delivers smooth, dynamic sound with exceptional clarity. Flexible mounting options make it ideal for any home theater setup, offering audiophile-level performance at an accessible price.

## Description

Audiophile performance without an audiophile price. Inspired by the clarity and detail of Martin Logan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion 2i, 4i, 6i, and 8i feature exquisite Folded Motion tweeters and powerful bass technology in compact and affordable packages. Key to performance is the lightning fast response of the tweeter's light-weight diaphragm combined with a large surface area (much larger than a typical one-inch dome tweeter) which together achieve a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity-certain to inspire envy in audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike. Precision Vostro crossover topology features custom air core coil inductors, low DCR steel laminate inductors, and polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors for a seamless sonic presentation. Flexible installation options allow table top or on-wall installation of all four speakers. Motion 2i and 4i bookshelf speakers can also mount upside down to facilitate placement high on a wall. Motion 6i and 8i can mount horizontally or vertically around a wall-mounted flat screen television.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between the ML 8 and the 8i? thanks**
A: It appears that the 8i is a slightly updated version of the 8 which appears to have been discontinued.
I found a Refurbished 8i (refurbished by ML) and purchased it for around the same price as the 8,
saving around $100.

**Q: Does this can be place vertical and horizotal ?**
A: Yes, there are brackets included that allow you to mount them hori or vert.

**Q: So, between the motion slm flat lcr, the 6i and the 8i, wich is the best talking just about sound and performance? besides price that seems the same**
A: I can only speak for the motion 8i. It is awesome.

**Q: will this work with the rest of my 8 ohm surround speakers since this is 4 ohm ? or will it have less volume ?  back of my reciever says 6 to 16 ohm.**
A: If your front channel speaker is 4 ohm and the surround speakers are 8 ohm, then the front channel volume will be slightly higher than the surround speakers. It probably will we so slight a difference that you might not even notice it. If you have a 5 or 7 channel receiver, it might have a calibration mode where it uses test tones to listen to each channel and adjusts the output level of each channel so they are all even. If you have a receiver like that, then you can mix 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers. The receiver will compensate for the differences. If not, then you can just manually adjust the volume level for the front channel speaker. If I were you I would not worry. Hope this helps. Freddy Jensen
