Customer Ratings & Reviews

My biggest takeaway: ARC isn't just marketing lingo... It's a legitimately awesome feature that makes a VERY noticeable difference. I imagined it would make a small difference, but after setting up and toggling ARC, it's a killer feature that will have you sold on it the moment you hear it. I have some audio treatment in my room, but it's not perfect, especially for the low-end. ARC really helps fill in the gap in my acoustic treatment. Alright, now on to the rest of the sub... Clean, tight bass, with some great control through the app which helps with tuning to your taste. Sounds and feels fantastic. Price-wise, there are subs with better specs for the money. However, it's hard to quantify the value of something like ARC. Movie, music, and night modes all work well and perform as you would expect for each application. If you get this, you won't be disappointed!

This thing is absolutely amazing! The App control is pretty awesome as well.

He really loves the sound and the quality this subwoofer provides.

This subwoofer is pretty sweet. The app works very well and is responsive

Coming from someone who has two REL (HT1205) and two each of SVS(NSD-12 & SB3000) in my home theatre (1 setup for movies, and the other (REL) for 2 channel music, I can unequivocally say I'mhappy that I tried out this sub. And I'm looking for another. I'm no stranger to the Main Logan name, as I own the 60xti towers and 50xti center. Anyhow, due to not having a matching one at the moment, I placed it in my family room to complement the very bottom end of my Kef Q950 towers. I was gonna use it for movies, but the dang thing sounded so good and the app was so cool and responsive that I decided to make that space more of a triple purposed 2 channel listening hub until I get a quality AVR with pre outs. I'm currently utilizing an ARCAM CDS50 for SACD playability, along with a wiim ultra streamer/preamp w/ sub out through an older Yamaha vx675. RCA line into the Yammy, and ZONE 2 out to my ARCAM PA240 amplifier. And I can listen for hours on end with no listening fatigue. Those KEF Q950s already has a nice tactile bottom end when powered adequately, but this ML 1100x just gives me that flexibility to kick it up several notches and however I want. The built-in ARC room correction is a nice touch! It even compliments the mid range of my towers. The only knock is that it is a bit expensive and there are other subs that sound incredible and would fit the bill (REL), yet, without the app (which is not as expansive as SVS's iteration on my SB3000, but ML is much more user friendly and with an instantaneous response.

This purchase is to replace a ML Dynamo 700X. The 1100X is a bit larger with a 12” woofer compared to the 10” woofer of the 700X. Another difference is the amp size with 3x the power. The 1100X fills a large space with powerful, yet melodic bass whilst delivering realistic thunder and explosions from the LFE channel. The best features I like about the 1100X are the Anthem Room Correction (ARC) and the Bluetooth MartinLogan Subwoofer Control App. ARC tames the standing waves in your room by tuning the sub to your listening chairs. You can use a separately sold mic and computer with ARC called the Perfect Bass Kit (PBK) or download an app to your iOS or Android device and utilize the built in mic to perform the measurements. Quickly and easily, the app tunes the subwoofer via Bluetooth and you’re good to go. Matching your subwoofer level to your system level is simple using the ML Subwoofer Control App. You can either utilize an SPL meter and the app to adjust the 1100X level or run your AVRs internal room correction to tune your system. The app allows you to adjust several aspects of the 1100X such as phase, 25 Hz level, and overall level. I use this app daily as it has listening modes for Movies, Music, and Night. If I want more bass, I simply adjust the level to exactly what I want from my seat. Bass sounding thin, adjust phase on the fly by increments of one - not hard presets. As for the 700X, I moved it to my office and connected it to the Sonos AMP I use for two channel music and radio. The sub still works fine. The Bluetooth transmitter failed after about 10 years and ML no longer makes it which necessitated the move to the 1100X.

I wanted a sub that would deliver big power. What I got was so much more. This fills the room whether for movies or for music. With the ARC system, it was really easy to set up and adjust - it did it for me. I especially like being able to increase its output via an app rather than messing with the back. Also, it is set up as down firing - i love that I can easily adjust it to be front firing if needed.

Wow, this subwoofer is powerful but highly accurate. Everyone says subwoofers are too slow to be played with Magnepan speakers. This sub is a match made in heaven with my Magnepan 1.7. It's very fast and accurate, plenty of punch when needed. I have this sub set up to front-fire with crossover set at 75 Hz with high level speaker wire, and it's just perfect and sounds way better than REL T9x. The bluetooth android app that let you control everything from your chair is a bonus that even my friend's $6,000 Paradigm Persona sub does not have. I highly recommend this subwoofer.

Martin Logan makes great subwoofers. This one is no exception. The 1100x is not the largest (there is one bigger model above it) but still very powerful and compact, as a sealed model. It offers a good balance between price and performance. Getting two or more subwoofers is often a better choice than one large one. They can smooth the signal more easily between seating positions. These ML subs have great connectivity and offer ARC which is awesome. Also got the 1100x because it has balanced input for LFE. (smaller models don't). Overall very happy so highly recommend it.

I am very glad that I chose this sub. Has a great sound and adjustability. Power is what I needed for the room that it’s in. Definitely feel the bass in what your watching and listening to.

I added this sub about 3 months ago to my 2 channel stereo and is awesome the sound pair nice with speakers and having the control on your phone is a plus plus. I really think is better than those old fashion subs that you need to get up to do adjustments this is in the palm of your hand and goes dip with bass if that what you want . thank you best buy for nice product and service..

I have 2 of these in my theater room. One wireless and one wired. Both ways work and sound great! Clear controlled tones. No annoying humming with a very simple app that makes it easy to control. Only annoying thing is having 2 apps to control the system. (pre-amp and sub app). Covers are a bit difficult to keep in place.

I have 2 of these I purchased both through the open box program at BB. Open box if you can wait is the best way to purchase any major appliance or audio equipment in the country, IMO. Non ported subs match up better with high end speakers like Kef which I have. These 2 sound heavenly paired with my KEF Q750s in 2 channel mode. If you're 50/50 movies and music get this one. Ported subs like SVS can really earthquake a room but aren't as accurate as these. Their accuracy is rediculous. I left these downward firing the way they came and have has no interest in switching the to front firing which can easily be done in minutes to fit in a cabinet. Getting 2 instead of one gave me all the accuracy and punch I'll ever need for movies and all the perfectly responsive base for my 2 channel listening needs. 500w continous amp has thudding,fire cracker salute like base on movie sound tracks.

This guy packs a punch for such a small unit. It blends in with a pair of klipsch forte 4s like magic. I like the down firing on a subwoofer better, and sounds better than the jl audio it replaced at half the cost...

Sounds awesome, has good push on the bass hits. You know it’s doing good when your watching a movie and you see your wife and kids jump because it scares them when a loud scene starts....

This is not the most powerful one offered by ML, but it is big enough for my room. The size is on the compact side and its 12" subwoofer delivers precise and tight base. Excellent for classical music and movies. It is a perfect match to my other ML speakers.

The best discovery I've made! Life changing sound and bass. No rattling. It holds super nice.

Clean, tight and musical bass that gives a visceral bottom end to movies. It’s not floor shaking like a ported design but geppstill gets so low that I feel rather than hear the bass at 20Hz or so.

Great sounding sub. ARC really takes away boominess and makes bass note very clear. Great for music, probably not enough tactile feel for HT. I ended up returning and getting its big brother 1600X to fill my large listening space better and to get that feel in the chest from the lowest notes. It was a tough call as 1100X really does a great job with music but lacked that bottom 5% feel I wanted.

Love the bass this produces, it replaced a 12" Klipsch woofer and night and day difference. This is amazing, great sound and you can feel it!
