Customer Ratings & Reviews

5/5 -its sound, however -3/5 for reliability. If I am to spend this amount on a subwoofer, I expect performance longer than 30 days. This model was recommended by a geek squad home theater specialist who said that it is currently tier 1 for the living room’s setting. At first, the sound or should I say “vibrations” were amazing to a point that it was hair raising. 2-3 weeks in, the sub started vibrating by itself. I changed it to a wireless setting and still had the same result therefore replaced it this time for the first time. Dynamo 700 strikes again (vibrated by itself) w/in a couple of weeks. I asked geek squad, even after being recommended to get a totally different model, to just give me a new but same Dynamo 700 unit, 2nd time just to give it one last chance. 30 days in and AGAIN! while watching football, started vibrating by itself. A big no, no. I would not recommend this subwoofer because of its complete FAILURE to be reliable, and as a big disappointment from MartinLogan line of subwoofers. Good thing that geek squad was there to help.

An excellent component with the 65" & 55" 4K HDTV systems.

We purchased it for our new media room and love it.

Best sub I have had yet- lots of clean sub power. And it was free with the Martin Logan ESL speakers. Can't beat that!

This is an incredible subwoofer. It pairs well with any sound system. I've got it hooked up to my MartinLogan soundbar and I love it!

Love this bass. It’s makes my home system complete

I picked up a Dynamo 700 to pair with the Martin Logan Vision Soundbar I recently purchased. I figured this was a no brainer because I could make one adjustment on the soundbar and it would sync via the wireless transmitter. That worked fine but I would get barely any sound out of the 700 even when playing my Soundbar at 50%. I adjusted all the settings to what Martin Logan recommended. Volume at 50%, switched to LFE and phase at 90% and it's still the same. I must be missing something. I play my music and TV at a relatively modest volume and have read that if there isn't a strong enough signal going to the sub it won't kick in. That would not make sense here since these two units were made to be together. I will be returning my Dynamo 700 tomorrow, very disappointing experience.

Went from a wired unit to wireless to avoid having to run wires outside the home. I'm now on my second unit due to a random popping sound; and Magnolia says I'm stuck with it or I can send it to the manufacturer to see if it's defective. (only several months old). In both cases I had their installers do the work (along with other items) - during the last visit when the 1st unit was replaced, the installers told my wife that it was a good unit, but it's not perfect when in the wireless mode. (Unit is even on it's own surge protector) If I would have known, I would have sacrificed location for quality. Expectations absolutely didn't align with sales pitch.

Powerful bass for such a small box, there is a blue light that blinks constantly and my neighbor was mad that I was too loud, told me to turn it down, that’s why 3 star

I tried this sub for a few weeks. It was pretty good, but I returned it because it was not as good as I wanted. Fine for booming through a movie, but not tight enough for accurate music production.

My old Velodyne sub finely developed a vibrating sound so I looked for a nice replacement. Money really wasn't a factor but if I can not spend another couple grand that would be great so after seeing some reviews, a well respected name and a sale I ordered it. Maybe because I came from a Velodyne or because I like a lot of bass this was not the speaker for me. I was immediately irritated as I plugged in the speaker and even at a low gain it starts vibrating across my hardwood floor. It has to much power for how light it is. On carpet I probably would have been happier but it is convertible to a front facing speaker so crisis overted or was it.... Nope I set it up front facing and still at high gain it still vibrated. I was probably not going to be happy at this point no matter what but I played around a little bit to see if it would get better. I moved around some and turned down the gain, got it to be passable and not moving on it's own. So now we get to listening. I didn't turn on a movie and it would probably be fine there but I really pay more attention to bass in my music so let's test some music. What was playing wasn't great but I put it through the paces. I started off with Lil Jon Bia Bia and turned it up. Immediately we have a problem. There is a slight delay in the high bass and the low end thus creating a sound that seems like a pop and then the vibration. Next we hit the deepest parts of the song and it just dies. So let's give it rap softball and I switch to Rap God. The delay from the high to low is even more pronounced. Undeatered I gave a rock try. Fire up some Volbeat. The high end of the bass is just too pronounced. I will say though I turned on Slipknot and the speaker over performed even from my Velodyne. Very nice. Thought that Metal might be it's thing so let's fire up some Metallica and I don't know how to describe it but it's just unpleasant. I just turned it way down and I gave up. Maybe I expected too much and probably for the price it is great but I would rather pay more even if it's a lot more to get something I can use.

I tried to convince myself that I love the sound because I spent the money on a Martin Logan but a few days later I realized that it is not worth the money. Smaller than I expected and the sound was subpar
