Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this MartinLogan - Motion Foundation C1 in the Walnut finish to replace an older Infinity "CRESCENDO CS Video" center channel. I didn't realize what I was missing with my older center channel! This new one is impressive with EXCELLENT refined voice clarity and clean deep bass even at higher volume levels. It acousticlly blends nicely with my MartinLogan Aerius front channel pair that I purchased back in 1997...those still sound fantastic BTW. I have the new center channel placed behind my TV as before for both Dolby movie soundtracks and enhanced 2 channel stereo processing by a Marantz AVR. The MartinLogan C1 was on sale at Best Buy over Labor Day for $439.99. Lucky I caught it on sale, but I would purchase this again at regular price for what it delivers.

I bought this because I replaced my receiver and the sound quality from my previous center speaker seemed lacking in quality. As soon as I connect the MartinLogan I could not believe the incredible sound quality. It has incredible bass and mid tones and has totally transformed my overall surround sound system. It weighs a lot so make sure your stand can support it! Worth every dollar.

My stereo is almost complete …. Beautiful brown wood

Thanks for the advice, improved my system. Dave was a great help.

I’m really happy with this MartinLogan center speaker. Dialogue sounds clear and much easier to hear during movies and TV shows. It matches well with my MartinLogan front speakers and gives my system a fuller, more balanced sound. The build quality feels solid and it looks clean under my TV. Great upgrade for a home theater setup.

Amazing sound, I tend to be picky on what sound sustem I buy, at first I wasn’t sure if this was right for me, but the moment I turned on a movie I realized how much ive missed in the last couple years. I transitioned from a book shelf speaker as a substitute center speaker and this really brought out the voices in the movie. Im shocked on the performance of bass and how it perfectly works side by side with the sound it produces. Im very impressed and will look at more martin products.

Center speaker is powerful and crisp. The design is sleek

Best Buy Hometheater studio helped me to experience the immersive sound from Martin Logan speakers. I thoroughly enjoyed it and desperately wanted to get ML Hometheater setup. Though Martin Logan is in experience side, I have been waiting for months but checking atleast 2 times a day for any deals. Finally after 3 months of wait time, I was able to get Martin Logan floor standing speakers and this center channel. Oh my god.. I don’t have words to say the immersive experience I get. It gives me pleasure of being in theatre. Despite I went with 3.1 Chanel, the recommendation from Best Buy for the same is incredible and outstanding ! This one instance show how the store staff of Knowledgeable. Thanks to Andy for helping me out ! He is the best!!

A must buy for a home theatre. Sounds & looks amazing!

Gives me a clear intelligible dialogue. Sounds great.

Worked well with Denon 1800h. Some reason Audyssey set crossover to 40 so manually changed that to 80. As of now no issues, Good buy when its on sale for $399

Amazing speaker, I had to return this one because it was a little bit too big for my space but amazing quality

Sounds clear and smooth for a center speaker, it is one of the best ive owned.

Beautiful sound. This is amazing for it's price. I also have the B1 bookshelf speakers together with a Rel sub. Sounds Amazing!!!

This speaker completed our home theater system. The virtual center created by the ML B10 speakers was good but this addition is even clearer. We now have a solid 3.1 setup and are enjoying it very much.

Excellent sound quality!! Sound fills the living room.

looks good, sounds good and easy set up. heavily packaged.

Sounds great and really adds a nice bottom end to the center. Vocals in music and movie dialogue is much richer with very nice highs because of the ribbon tweater. It was on sale when I bought it and was a great deal. Matches great with my Martin Logan Motion 40 towers and sub.

Had a Wharfedale 220C. This is just slightly clearer but now sonically matches my ML 40i’s. Recommended if you’re running something smaller than this. Keep in mind this is a 4 Ohm speaker so make sure you have enough power to spare.

Exceptional addition to home theater system. It is quite large and heavy. I added a robust shelve to hold it below the OLED TV. Great choice and exceptional value at this price point. Unfortunately no longer available around Tampa, FL.
