Q: Does the speaker have a wireless multi-room audio feature?

Q: Are the speakers sold individually or as a pair?
A: The Motion XT B100 bookshelf speakers are sold individually, each speaker with a 6.5-inch midbass driver.
Q: Can the speaker handle a peak power of 250 watts?
A: The peak power handling for this speaker is 250 watts.
Q: What is the purpose of the Motion Waveguide?
A: The Motion Waveguide enhances the Controlled Dispersion of the Gen2 Folded Motion XT Tweeter to a high precision 45°(Vertical) by 90°(Horizontal) to accommodate a wide range of seating while reducing performance robbing floor and ceiling reflections.
Q: What is the sensitivity of the speaker?
A: The sensitivity of the speaker is 93 decibels.
Q: Are these Martin Logan Gen2 bookshelf speakers wall mountable?
A: I think these new Martin XT series are actually Gen4..I could be wrong though. Anyway the B100's are presented in a way to be used on stands. They do not come with any attachments or way to attach the back of the speakers to a wall. I am pretty sure they do make a smaller speaker in this new line that does make it easier to mount. If they don't carry it at Best Buy yet you could go to the Martin Logan website and be able to get the model number.
Q: Can these ML Gen2 bookshelf speakers be WALL MOUNTED? Do they need brackets?
A: There are no mounting bracket holes on these. I wouldn't suggest putting on a wall anyway with the ported design.

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!

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!

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.
