I have had entry level Martin Logan's in my office, and B&W CM series at home for a few years. The lower level Martin Logans we okay for the office, but nowhere near my Bowers & Wilkins....when I came across a sale on the motion 60 towers, I couldn't pass it up. After hooking them up, I was blown away and knew I had to complete the set with this center channel, followed by the matching bookshelf set, and they did not disappoint. I will most likely be switching out my B&W setup entirely for these. B&W has always been great for music with natural sound and warmth - but the highs were slightly muddy, particularly with dialogue. Martin Logan's ribbon tweeters have incredible clarity with music or movies, and powerful crisp bass. The center channel is key to the movie/surround experience, and this speaker fulfills that role better than any other in it's category - and I have tested A LOT of them!

I formerly had Definitive technology speakers for my home theater but over the last year I've been switching out to the Martin Logan Motion line. The speakers have amazing clarity and enough power to shake the room; without a sub! The Motion 50XT compliments and blends perfectly with my Motion 60 towers. I'm very very pleased with the purchase of this speaker!

Purchased this center speaker to compliment my two tower speakers by ML , a definitive sub and a pioneer vsx 90 elite amp. The speaker itself weighs about 30 pounds! Works great with crisp and clear sound .

This center channel speaker goes well with my motion 60xt. One thing to consider is , if space is limited this speaker is huge and heavy. Sound clarify is exceptional and perfectly match all my Martin logan series speakers.

I can hear the voices very clearly from the shows that I watch. This was a problem for me especially with female voices. This speaker made a world of difference.

Very attractive design center channel speaker. Excellent sounding speaker. I can hear voices clearly even with noise in the background of the room. Perfect high/mids/lows for a center speaker.

I bought this center channel speaker based on reviews I read. I am more than impressed. Voices and dialog are so much clearer than my previous speaker. I have a very large great room 25x32 with 20 ft high ceilings so I thought I was just stuck with the ok sound I was getting. The 50xt was a game changer. I’m not an audiophile but I appreciate good sound. You won’t be disappointed if you get this!

I decided it was time to buy a complete system to replace my 25 year old JBLs. my first choice for a center was the C2. After comparing the sound to the ML 50XT using the new 60XT floor speakers I upgraded to the 50XT center as the speakers were more voice matched.

This is a awesome center channel, I have it paired with Motion 40's and B & W rear surrounds , Martin Logan sub. This center matches the fronts perfectly, crystal clear, dialogue is perfect. Driving it with Pioneer LX801. Music is great and 4k Atmos is great also. Pricey but well worth it.

This center channel speaker packs a wallop. Twin 6 1/2" woofers along with an awesome 4 1/2" folded transducer tweeter provides excellent voice clarity and doesn't skimp on supporting the low end. Extremely high sensitivity (94db) makes driving this speaker easy even for smaller receivers (extremely efficient watts to sound pressure conversion). Frequency range is 50hz-25Khz leaves nothing out.
Only drawback is the beautiful cherry piano gloss finish reflects the screen when viewed from the second tier seats. I ended up wrapping it with some matte black cloth. As this is a dedicated home theater, that didn't present any real downside.
