    Doesn’t accept banana plugs

    Phenomenal sound, but huge. Definitely not a speaker that you can hide away, but sound stage is amazing. Unfortunately the design does not allow for use of banana plugs.

    Martin Logan FX2 - Excellent Surround Speaker

    Excellent surround speaker. Can’t wait to buy another pair for my left and right surrounds. BTW, I am a big fan of B&W, but I have to admit that, after I replaced my B&W left and right back surrounds with ML FX2 ones, the difference was phenomenal in terms of details, and richness of the sound. I would definitely recommend ML FX 2 to anyone building a dedicated home theater.

    Martin Logan

    Bought on an open box deal. Did not have mounting brackets but I placed them on speaker stands. They fit well on the stands. I have them connected to a marantz sr7013 and using for surrounds. Works and sounds awesome for surround. They can go low enough on hz that they provide bass for surrounds. Crystal clear sound hear every detail. Wish I could find two more so I can add a rear surround channel also.

    Martin Logan - Home Theater System

    The Best Buy home theater consulting service was worth the personnel visit to my apartment/ Man Cave to choose matched components for a Martin Logan home theater system with a Yamaha 7.2 receiver. I would recommend this service to anyone serious about their home theater system. Greg Zambeck

    Excellent match for Motion 60XTi’s

    I bought these after returning a pair of Motion FX’s to supplement my Motion 60XTis, Motion 50 XTinand Dynamo 1600X. These sound super rich and provide excellent imaging. Their build quality is also great and they look cool, although a hit bulky. Overall, I highly recommend these if you’re looking for surround speakers.
