The Perfect Surround Speaker
I have two of these speakers and am using them as my rear surrounds in conjunction with 2 F10 and a C10 for my front and center channels. These speakers are excellent in this capacity, as their design is perfect, with the stealth bass port and slim angled lines. That's not to say this is the only application for these, as they could easily be used as standalone bookshelf speakers in a stereo setup. Yet, for my case, they added the perfect surround aspect for my cinema and audio needs. Never before have I felt as immersed in the sound and action as I have with these speakers. Their accuracy is true to spec, and they hold that clarity even in the plus dB range. Having had a prior setup, as well as the 2022 top soundbar models with discrete surround, in comparison, there is no comparison! I've been blown away by MartinLogan's speaker performance, and their design gorgeously integrated into a theater or living room almost effortlessly. I also enjoy that they include speaker covers, in the event you won't use it for a while, or just to protect your investment. Connection was as simple as it gets with the hybrid banana or twist down posts. Though, I would have rather have seen the posts angles down more, as trying to use bananas while they are in the angled orientation to fire down is near impossible. Not a huge deal for me, as I just put it in bare, but know some refuse that, so something to be noted. I also was less than impressed with the bracket. It's nice and I'm glad they include it, but the instructions are extremely limited and no hardware to actually mount the mount is included. Thus, I was stuck googling how best to mount these angled brackets with 4 holes, and unless you have spacers readily available, the top holes won't get used. Luckily I'm highly familiarized with sound setups both commercially and residentially and had hardware, of which I just popped in a couple of molly's, as this is a weighty speaker with a good sized driver. So you'll want to make sure your mount is secure. Overall, these are fantastic speakers that function perfectly in surround channels, but are absolutely powerful enough to stand on their own if you want to sans floor models. They provide excellent and detailed sound reproduction that does not falter, even at high levels. While also being a tasteful and clean addition to your room.

Solid Sound Quality with Great Versatility
MartinLogan's MP10s are part of their newly revamped Motion series which have been an absolute revelation for me. These share a lot of common traits with the C10 and F10s I also have, while providing a slim design that allows for a host of mounting options. As with the other speakers in the range, the build quality and finish on the MP10s is stunning. I have the piano black color, which looks phenomenal. Initially, I was leery of the slimline, slanted design of these, but after using them and mounting them on my wall, I can unequivocally say the function of the design makes these a great surround option, especially if you have a challenging or limited space. The sound quality on the MP10s is great. They have a fullness and balance that's quite unexpected given their stature. While listening to movies, the hold their own, which is somewhat uncommon with surround speakers. They have a reasonably decent low response (though there frankly isn't a lot of low end extension here unsurprisingly), but the mids and highs are spot on. As with the other speakers, the tweeter very much impressed me, providing an even soundscape that at times feels almost omnidirectional in a way that dome tweeters never do, and it's paired with a mid driver that sounds great. Frequency response is unexpectedly even and well balanced through the upper lows through the highs. Listening to music through these tells the same story; the highs and mids are incredibly well composed, but the low end drops off fairly steeply after a certain frequency. Given the intended usage of the MP10s as surround speakers (or height speakers if you're running an Atmos setup), they perform incredibly well. Their design is a bit odd at first, but once you deal with mounting them, it becomes clear just how much utility and flexibility that design gives. Overall, I feel as though the bookshelf speakers in the 10 series will produce a fuller sound and might be a slightly better option for those with the space, but these have a huge leg up on versatility while still giving you great sound.

Versatile, beautiful, and sound amazing!
The new fourth generation MartinLogan Motion MP10 bookshelf speakers bring a high level of clarity and detail in a compact, stylish package! The folded tweeter provides crisp, accurate highs that pair excellently with the woven fiber 5.5” diameter mid-range driver. The “wave guide” over the tweeter and the “stealth” bass port delivers a wide listening stage that doesn’t require finding the perfect spot for surround speakers or as a pair of bookshelves used for main drivers. I tried these on their own in a stereo setup and wow do they fill the room! I put on a playlist of my favorite songs (lossless quality) on Apple Music and enjoyed a full afternoon of incredible listening with just these bookshelves, I completely forgot to hook the matching F10 towers back up! I have them paired with the matching C10 center channel and F10 tower speakers. The set works phenomenally together to create a truly cinematic experience without having to worry about sticky theater floors, $15 popcorn, and uncomfortable seats! The look of the speakers is a very nice piano black, except the front which is a matte black. This does present the challenge of keeping them clean, they don’t really attract fingerprints (not a huge worry after they’re installed) but they are magnets for dust! The logo is a nice little badge that you can flip depending on how you orient the speakers, as they can be mounted or stand on their own on either end of the cabinet, too! All around, the speakers are absolutely stunningly beautiful, crisp, and accurate. I would recommend them with the only caveat being the dust, but the real winner is the sound quality. These speakers will draw your attention so deeply into what you’re listening to, music or movies, that you might not remember notice the beautifully designed cabinets!
