MartinLogan - Motion XT B100 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker with 6.5” Midbass Driver (Each) - Walnut

Great midrange clarity. Build quality is excellent... these are solid! It was between these and the Bowers and Wilkins 706 s2/3. I enjoyed the sound of these compared to those (and a few others). Love the new design and the tweeters on the new motion xt series. Using a Denon dra-800h for a 2.1 set up and very pleased so far!

[Employee of bestbuy] I bought a pair of these for a dedicated music room. They are connected to a Marantz Cinema 70, and the Martin Logan sealed Dynamo 10. I’m using the Audioquest Black Lab sub cable, and an Audioquest Cinnamon hdmi. Needless to say, I don’t have any of my components plugged into the wall. I am using the non-sacrificial Powerquest 505 surge/conditioner. My music room is small, but the results are as if I am listening to my music live. Quality components of your design make a huge difference in your listening experience!

The finish on these bookshelves is legit. Quality sound as expected from ML, tight and fast bass, FMT tweeter really is quite wonderful. I will say however due to the overpriced ML XT C100 center, if you're going for home theater you're better off checking out the new SVS Ultra Evolution. Your wallet will thank you.

I felt these speakers are beautiful and well made. I really liked the look and preferred the gloss black..just know that it will show fingerprints and must be wiped down if that sort of thing bothers you. First off the tweeter is pretty sweet. Even at high volumes I was never able to make it lose its composure. Detail and high frequency extension is all there with this speaker. I tried these with an AVR, a tube amp, and 3 different solid state. Eventually I settled on an Elac Alchemy, which is a Class D and is capable of 325watts x2 into the B100's 4ohm impedance. Feeding the Logans with a nice clean signal and the B100's can sound very nice with a sense of refinement due to their looks and extension of the tweeter.. but for me I felt the overall experience was lacking a little something in the mid to lower bass frequency range. Paired with a SVSpro subwoofer definitely helped but wasn't enough to make me completely happy. Very nice speakers but i think I would prefer the fuller range of the new Martin Logan floor standing speakers. I'm currently using the Polk R200 and Wharfedale Linton's. Both of these lack the finesse and refinement of the B100's AMT tweeter..but better the Logans in other areas in my opinion. I will be returning the B100's but have nothing bad to say about them, it is just personal preferences. Beautiful speaker though

"Excellent" open box condition is not excellent, there are many permanent markings on the front and sides of speaker, including damage to the gold ring in the walnut color. It did include cable, grill, and documentation I have it paired to wiim amp ultra and svs sb1000 pro sub in a living room, having a sub is highly recommended if you listen to anything with bass in it at all. The sparkly highs are what sold me in the magnolia demo room, sometimes I feel like I'm at a live concert. If I had the money I would be looking at the floor standing speakers equivalent.
