My first surround sound system I have now listened to for about 4 weeks. This center channel speaker is sleek and packs plenty of sound that compliments my Martin Logan ceiling speakers. Previous speakers were Bose 901 IV and I feel these Martin Logan's are are an upgrade. Found this center channel speaker as an open box item with a great discount. My sales consultant was right in their recommendation and I have not been disappointed in the least. Get this speaker if you can!

Purchased these as part of a 5.1 system. Excellent clarity and sensitivity at this price point. Very happy with the sound. A capable subwoofer is highly recommended. An FYI, Magnolia Center sales associates at two different stores told be these do not come with wall mounts. THEY DO. Albeit cheap plastic ones. For the center channel it was perfect. For the rest of the speakers I purchased metal mounts that are adjustable.

When I bought my first center speaker I didn't appreciate the importance of a clean, crisp sound for spoken dialog. The unique design of this speaker delivers just that. Dialog and other center sounds come through crisp, clear, and lifelike while music and background sound go through my older Martin Logan front speakers, which are better suited for background sound. These speakers blend in seamlessly.

originally had gone to buy Polk audio center, the sales person let listen to it with just 2 surround speaker, and it sounded good, they he asked me if I had listened to the Martin Logans? The price wasn't too much more than the Polk Audio center, he ran it with just 2 surround speakers, and the sound quality was well worth the extra dollars. Planning on up grading my whole speaker system to Martin Logan

This speaker was put on it's side in a cabinet and works great. I put felt pads on each of the 4 corners to minimize rattle on the cabinet. Size was important.

Preferred the look of this center speaker to the boxier and more expensive Martin Logan center speakers (Motion 30, 50). So far it sounds great matched with my Motion 40s.

I was using an old bookshelf speaker as a center channel. It was on the deal of the day, so decided to take a chance. Very happy with the purchase. Can hear the movie dialog with no problems. Seems to work very well with all the movies I have watched so far. Happy with the purchase

I'll be honest, I'm not really impressed with this center channel. HOWEVER, I did not give it a worse rating because it is partly my own fault: I have main speakers that do not match this Martin Logan. My mains are Polk speakers.
I bought this speaker because of it's smaller size and my constraint on space (had to fit on a fireplace mantle). The size of this speaker is awesome, nice and small. However, it also sounds like a small speaker in my opinion.
I've ran Audyssey MultEQ and messed around with channel level settings but yea, it just doesn't sound as powerful as I would like.
I would recommend buying a larger speaker if you have the space, or even if you don't (I'm most likely going to try to build a shelf below the fireplace mantle to place a larger center speaker).

Went into Best Buy looking to buy a center bar speaker for my Entertainment System but the audio service member said that sound bars don't work For center speakers for a entertainment center that I would have to get a center speaker so he took me over to their theater room and let me hear the different ones that they had and for the price I found the one that I like the best and it was this one very satisfied

All my speakers are Martin Logan and my sound system sounds so great! The center speaker has rounded out my system and improved the listening quality greatly. I wish I would have purchased it initially instead of using my old center speaker. It really makes a difference.

This center channel by Martin Logan has exceptional clarity and sound stage. Audyssey on my Marantz however wanted it to deliver too much base which muddied the dialog so I changed the crossover to 150hz instead. Now the vocals are crystal clear.

I chose this Martin-Logan center channel because it was the size I needed to fit within a shelf on my console. It delivers crisp sound and works beautifully in the room. Matched up with ML sub and ML in-wall speakers. I'm happy!
