These are really nice looking and great sounding speakers. I love the slim profile with then hanging on the wall. I use this one as my center speaker.
If youre using these as stereo and center channels, you need a woofer. The sound clearity is amazing but there is very little bass out of them.
Dont let my photo deceive the size of the speaker. I have an 85" tv in the pic.

Nice sleek look and great sound. Can be installed on wall or comes with speaker stand. Great installation by Best Buy technician on wall with hidden wires behind the wall. These take up less room than bookshelf speakers. I have total tech membership so all my electronic and computer purchases come with a two year warranty for free.

They have a crisp clean sound are easy to wall mount with the template provided. These are high and mid range frequency speakers only so you will need a subwoofer.

Currently using the speaker as a center channel. Installation was fairly simple and it looks great on my wall. A sub is necessary as these have terrible bass, however it makes it up with terrific mids and highs. These speakers can be used as either l/r channels or as a center.

I’ve had these speakers for almost 3 years. We just upgraded our receiver from a 10 year old Sony STR DA5000ES receiver to a new Denon AVR-3800H and tfe TV was also changed from an 80” Sharp to the new 98” Samsung. Prior to having these speakers we had the Martin and Krisel (MK Sound) LCR series speakers. In comparison, tge MK Sound speakers might have been better. However, after the remodel, we wanted in wall speakers but were contrained due to load bearing studs so we decided on these on wall speakers which fit our need.

I bought these as my wife didn't want to overwhelm the room with big speakers. I used to have definitive Technologies 8060s but she wanted to downsize. I always wanted MLs and used this as the opportunity. I was worried that being entry level that they would disappoint. They are bright with good mid tones. You will definitely need a sub but these speakers have made me love watching tv again.

I purchased this speaker to replace a perfectly great but too bulky center channel. my former center channel speaker was working perfectly fine but it is just big to mount below my 75" TV with a pull down mantle mount. This Martin Logan speaker perfectly fit my size requirements perfectly and functions exceptionally well as a center channel in concert with large tower speakers, bookshelf rear speakers and an 800 watt dual 12' subwoofer. All speakers are driven by a Marantz AV receiver with high quality speaker cables and connects. Playing Music is awesome with exceptional clarity of both voice and instruments with no overcrowding from any of the speakers. Movies are are powerful and engaging with very clear dialogue. I am more than very pleased with the seamless integration and exceptional performance that this speaker added to my Home Theatre.

Nice Speaker - Needs tight subwoofer

My goal with these speakers was to replicate the sound from my previous large speaker system with more aesthetically pleasing speakers to pass muster with my wife while retaining an audiophile sound. My original speaker system was a Klipsch 7.2 system anchored by large Forte IIIs ($1,800 each) and 2 ported Klipsch Reference 12" subwoofers. Obviously it is not possible to replace $1800 speakers with $500 ones and be happy with the result. When I replaced the Fortes as anticipated there was very noticeable hole in the lower mid/ upper base range as a result of going from a 12" woofer/ 10" passive radiator configuration to one with 4" drivers. The ML Motion's midrange to upper end was however very crisp and has a nice open soundstage. The folded motion tweeters I think are a bit more natural than the Forte's horns. To deal the lack of a tight lower end I changed the crossover for the Klipsch subs from 75 to 125hz to cover the lower end better but it still was lacking punch & definition. I concluded I had to fill the hole with a tighter non-ported subwoofer. I ordered a SVS non-ported SB-2000 12" 500W powered subwoofer (GREAT SUBWOOFER) to go along with one of my Klipsch subwoofers which went a long way to solve the problem. I set the crossover on the new SVS sub to 225hz to create an overlap at upper base and lower mid and it did the trick. Ultimately I have concluded that the Martin Logan SLM4 does a great job for it's amazingly small footprint, but it requires a subwoofer that can cross over above 200hz to make it really shine.

Speakers fit seamlessly along the wall at each end of the media console, which enhances the overall look of our home. And, even at such a compact design the deliver all the sound one could desire. Although some might find them cost prohibitive, for my money they are an exceptional choice for those wishing for design and performance.

I am a fan of MartinLogan speakers. Mounted easily on the wall next to the TV. I like the slim look of the speakers. Good speaker for high end and mid-range sound. Was a good addition to the MartinLogin center channel speaker I already had. You will probably want to add a subwoofer for a more complete sound.

These are incredible speakers with tons of versatility! Love the thin profile to it when attached to wall. I use this as a center channel and it’s great! Considering getting 2 more to swap out my front speakers as well, as they can be used for multiple places in the room. Highly recommend!

Great speakers. Very clear sound. These don’t have a ton of base with our system, you will want to make sure you have a sub for that. As a left and right Chanel they sound great with our TV and also good as stereo speakers.
