MartinLogan Foundation F2 Floorstanding Front Speaker Pair White

For those looking for the most dynamic listening experience, floorstanding speakers are the ideal choice. F2 pairs the S Gen2 Obsidian Folded Motion tweeter with 3 custom-designed 6.5" aluminum woofers, resulting in incredible speed, detail and clarity. Further enhancing the listening experience is the Folded Motion waveguide that provides a more coherent and accurate listening experience by aligning the tweeter and midrange output in perfect harmony.

MartinLogan boasts over 40 years of history, with a unique research and development laboratory in the world, equipped with the largest private anechoic chamber in North America.

Among the many excellences totally developed by the manufacturer, the thin film tweeter, and just to give an example.

First of all on board the range is the FMT S Gen2 tweeter, developed specifically for Foundation, and combined with the Folded Motion waveguide: together they are able to deliver great quality sound with homogeneous and controlled dispersion, ensuring the same performance throughout the room and reducing some of the negative effects room acoustics. The Gen2 S-shaped tweeter uses an extremely low-mass diaphragm that “squeezes” air, requiring significantly less excursion than a typical 2.5cm dome tweeter. Folding the membrane into an accordion-like structure increases the reproducible surface area, while keeping the tweeter’s dimensions relatively compact, allowing for particularly clear and believable reproduction.

The Folded Motion Waveguide, in addition to improving the coherence of the reproduction, allows, as we were saying, an increase in the coverage area with controlled dispersion, which improves the natural emission of the tweeter by 10° in all directions, for a pattern of as much as 90° x 90°.

For the mid and low range, ad-hoc components with an aluminium membrane have been developed, capable of offering low mass and great energy thanks also to the enhanced magnetic motor.

The McCracken-Vojtko Crossovers could not be missing, now a tradition at Martin Logan, developed by the manufacturer over the years, and which now guarantees the best compromise between low distortion, in-room measurements and in-depth blind listening tests so as to develop a unique sound signature for each model.

Another aspect of great importance, much looked after in the Foundation Series, is the compensation of the sound bounce of the floor, and to do this, the Martin Logan engineers have designed the tower models using the floor to create a more consistent, natural and accurate compared to conventional designs.

To complete, finally, a design that although classic has many particularities, such as the 4 supports on the base that adapt to any floor surface, or the Stealth system that holds the grilles in place, allowing the listener to customize the look of each speaker, even allowing them to rotate to change the grain of the fabric.

The flagship of the Motion Foundation range, the MartinLogan Foundation F2 model offers the maximum performance and value in a floorstanding design.
