Guys & gals, I know that I saw a preview picture of seven new speakers from MartinLogan yesterday, veiled and dark but it appeared to include 3 new floorstanding speakers? My thoughts are that there is a new set of "Motion" speakers to replace the aging 20/40/60XT models, perhaps with a new model / series name?

It clearly did not look like electrostatic speakers (boxy shaped), and this morning I can't figure out where I saw it.

Anyone with details or link? Thoughts? I have been seriously thinking about a pair of Motion 40 speakers, so may be time to look at what is new or perhaps watching for closeouts of existing models?

The LX16 seems to be the best bang for buck Motion Speaker currently offered.

I own a pair in black and my friends have them in Cherrywood which to my eye look much much nicer.

Too bad they don't offer a Motion 8i in Cherrywood though.

I like their smaller Motion series speakers, using two Motion 4i for surrounds.

I prefer the beautiful Cherrywood, too! The bookshelf look good, and the floorstanding ones look awesome.

That page either got updated or I didn't poke around enough before.

The new ML Motion series debut is Wednesday September 4th at 4PM Pacific time. Location is the Magnolia's Design Studio in the Best Buy of Rosewood (suburb of Sacramento) CA.

Since that is less than three weeks away, you would think that you might find more details or at least a few bits of information, but I don't find anything - yet.
