The woofer faces directly out into the room and the ports on the angled sides should help disperse the bass and spaciousness of the sound. Also on these same sides are ports for the single 6.5' woofer (also with a high-excursion, doped fiber-cone and cast aluminum basket).

Instead of one, however, it has two facing out on two of the trapezoidal edges. The ElectroMotion FX2 shares the same tweeter with the C2 center. The depth and height should be fine for most installations though the width might be problematic. The C2 is a hefty 24.5 pounds an measures 6.4' x 18.9' x 14.3' (HxWxD). While their nominal impedance is 4-ohms, Martin Logan as specified that they are compatible with amplifiers rated a 4-, 6-, or 8-ohms (likely due to the high sensitivity). The ElectroMotion C2 center channel is rated up to 250 watts per channel with an efficient 94dB sensitivity. The ports are front firing which should help with in-cabinet placements. The C2 is rated down to 55Hz which is likely due to its ported design. The woofers have high-excursion, 'doped' fiber-cones and cast aluminum baskets. It has two 5.25' woofers flanking one of Martin Logan's new Folded Motion XT thin film radiating tweeters (measuring 1.25' by 2.4' with a 4.5 by 2.75' diaphragm). A non-traditional (for Martin Logan) boxy design, the C2 is designed to fit into a typical home theater with ease. Now, they've introduced a center and surround speaker.įirst, the ElectroMotion C2, which is the center channel in the system. Back at CEDIA, they announced their new XStat Electrostatic Panel which serve as the main speakers for the system.
