Distinctive Design, Elegant Execution, Beautiful Sound. Motion: Reimagined.
For the next generation of our Motion Series, we wanted to do something extraordinary. Tired of the "status quo," we went back to the drawing board, tasked with reinventing the legend of Motion Series. We came up with all-new audio technologies, a bold design, and modern finish options. We changed everything, leaving nothing on the table, to bring you our best Motion Series ever.
Our best bookshelf speaker, for those wanting maximum performance without moving to a tower speaker. The Gen2 Folded Motion® XT Tweeter and Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® woofer deliver exceptional clarity and precision, making B100 ideal for 2-channel or home theater setups. For those desiring a stand mount option, the B100 is threaded to securely attach to our matching STAND25 speaker stand (sold separately) for maximum stability.
