MartinLogan Icon 3XW

Yes. The Icon 3XW features a rotatable tweeter, which allows you to maintain proper sound dispersion whether you install the speaker vertically for stereo or horizontally for a center channel setup.

These speakers are rated for up to 125 watts of power. Because they have a sensitivity of 94 dB, they are relatively efficient and can be driven well by most high-quality home theater receivers or dedicated amplifiers.

The Folded Motion XT tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that moves air much faster and with less distortion than a traditional dome. This design delivers significantly higher clarity and detail in the high frequencies, which is a hallmark of MartinLogan's signature sound.

The Icon 3XW is designed as an open-back in-wall speaker, meaning it utilizes the wall cavity as its enclosure. While a backbox is not strictly required, ensuring your wall cavity is properly insulated and sealed will yield the best bass response and sonic consistency.

They are designed for both. While they excel in home theater applications, the use of audiophile-grade components like the Vojtko crossover and carbon fiber woofers makes them highly capable for critical two-channel music listening.

The Icon 3XW has a frequency response of 78–25,000 Hz. While this covers most of the audible spectrum, you will definitely want to pair these with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the deep bass frequencies below 80 Hz for a full-range home theater experience.
