Our take on the MartinLogan Motion Foundation F2 Floor Standing Speaker

The Motion Foundation F2 is MartinLogan's entry floorstander: a 3-way tower with a folded-motion tweeter, a dedicated midrange and two 6.5-inch aluminum-cone woofers, rated 36 Hz to 23 kHz and 15-200 watts. It stands nearly 45 inches tall with two rear ports and five-way binding posts, so it suits stereo music and home theater fronts alike. Its best new price is $862.49 at Audio Advice as of November 4, 2026, among 5 stores selling it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Motion Foundation F2 worth it at $862.49?
At $862.49 at Audio Advice as of November 4, 2026, it is a fair price for a true 3-way tower with a folded-motion tweeter. Comparable towers with a dedicated midrange often cost more.
How does it compare with the Motion Foundation F1?
The F2 adds a second 6.5-inch woofer and a taller cabinet, so it plays louder and reaches lower. The F1 is smaller and easier to fit in tight rooms.
What amplifier power does it need?
MartinLogan rates it at 15-200 watts, so a modest receiver or integrated amp will drive it. More power helps on demanding movie soundtracks.
Does it need a subwoofer?
For music, most listeners will not need one; it reaches 36 Hz. For movie LFE and very deep bass, a subwoofer still adds output.
How far from the wall should it sit?
The two rear ports need space to breathe. Start with a foot or more behind the cabinet and adjust to taste.
What is in the box?
A pair is sold as two towers with removable grilles and spike or foot hardware. Speaker cable is not included.
