This was the last item added to my purchases because I had thought these were extraneous since I had already added speakers for the back of the room. But the sound is noticeably fuller in my studio with this addition. Sound quality is great and certainly more than my room needs, but it's a great addition to the house.

I replaced an old pair of IC’s with these Helos to match my Motion 40’s. Originally, I wanted to get some satellites, but learned the tweeter on these could be directionally adjusted. I decided to use this pair as my left and right surround channels. I immediately noticed how natural and 360 the sound was! I was highly impressed and it blew away most of the doubts I had about using IC’s as part of my 5.2 set up. The last pair of IC’s were in the same ball park number (as far as price and quality), but these blew them away instantly. I have to say Martin Logan keeps delivering!

Very impressive sound quality close to realistic sound experience!

These speakers make all the difference when watching movies or listening to music. They fully immerse you into the movie with adjustable tweeters.

I lucked out and found the only pair available in Open-Box at Best Buy, and it was a tremendous deal. Even though these are sold individually and are usually quite pricey, the price I paid ($300) was absolutely worth it for this quality. The sound is incredible—honestly better than my Sonos and Bose speakers. They have nice bass, amazing clarity, and sound so crisp whether I’m streaming music from my iPhone or using them for my TV surround sound. If you can find a deal on these, grab them!

Amazing sound. Was a great choice for my surround and atmos speakers. Clear highs that are directional and you can really crank them up!

This is a Christmas gift for my son I just finished installing these yesterday very nice speakers very nice sounds he wanted to put additional speakers in his bathrooms one for the guest bathroom one for the master bathroom along with his theater set up very easy to install highly recommend it

These in-ceiling speakers are amazing! I bought these to replace my Yamaha NS-IC600in-ceiling speakers. I have a 5.1.2 set up with 4 in ceiling speakers powered by my Yamaha A2A for my Lg C5. Dobly Atmos is amazing!

These are a perfect match for a truly immersive dolby atmos experience. I have limited ceiling space with no attic, and their low profile size fit snugly. The positional tweeters enable a perfect positional listening experience. Dont hesitate to purchase these speakers if youre in the market!

I have been eying on these speakers since last year. I bought these speakers in September 24 when they were on discount. Bought 4 speakers to create an Atmos setup with my other B&W speakers, The Helos 12s turned out to be an excellent sonic match. Build quality is very good. Really happy with my purchase!

This is a great speaker for center channel.. and got it on sale

Installation in a drywall ceiling was easy. Wire connections were easy. Speaker quality sounds great, especially like the highs!

We have two of these speakers for our front channel left/right and then two of the holder models for the back let/right (we did a remodel and utilized a few of our original pieces) . Our center channel speaker comes directly from our new 77" Sony A9 and the whole set-up is amazing!! The sound is crystal clear and you can feel all the notes and sounds!

Added 5 of these for the theatre system in our living room. A little pricey but they sound great and were easy to install.

Added depth to my 13.3 surround system. Tweeter adjustable.

Tremendous sound! I How can a ceiling speaker deliver this level of great sound??? I had my system turned up too loud on start up and I thought these speakers were going to blow out my ears! They sound fantastic! Really rounds out any system and MartinLogan makes a great speaker!

Great sound, like the tilting tweeter. As they are breaking in, I can hear then continue to open up. Bought two pairs to go in my ceiling, nice match to my existing Martin Logan surrounds. On sale what was the trigger for me to buy.

I am really enjoying these in my condo, have neighbors and they never hear these. These speakers provide a good amount of independence and isolating to what you are looking for and nothing else. Good stuff chap
