  1. Xtgma –

    These speakers are easy to install, look and sound great. Very good for surrounds or surround rears. Highly recommend them.

  2. KingofEagan –

    I needed rear surround speakers with more sound, and these really deliver. Awesome sound for a reasonable price.

  3. SenM –

    Huge sound from such a small package. Even without a sub, can produce a large, sweet soundstage with no sign of strain.
    Kudos to Michael at the Gainesville store for helping me pick these out.

  4. ThatManStan –

    I was looking at Bose 650 but BB tech recommended MLs–never heard of them. Went online then heard them at the Magnolia store…I was sold instantly! I’ve been a Bose fan since my first set of used 301s in the 80s and worked my way up to the Acoustimass…All I can say is you do better if you know better!

  5. Kalyan –

    Looking for a better replacement. Huge sound. Replaced this for rear.

  6. NonTechie –

    Unfamiliar with the brand until recommended by a Best Buy associate and listening to them in the Magnolia Home Theater area. Was looking for some simple shelf speakers to augment current ones. The quality in range of sound and style made it easier to spend double than intended. The speakers really capture all ranges, especially those at the higher end of the spectrum, making the vocals more enjoyable.

  7. Picklepot –

    These have really great soumd and wont break the budget. Our system consists of a Definitive sound bar, definitive Subwoofer, Martin Logan 1000 Subwoofer and a pair of these Martin Logan bookshelf speakers mounted on stands. To drive the system, we have a Pioneer Eliite VSX-45 A/V receiver and a 60″ Pioneer Elite TV.

  8. Dave –

    These speakers work fine for rear suround sound set ups. As long as you don’t use them for your front three they work fine.

  9. PlayStation4 –

    Just got them and so far they sound amazing.. two thumbs up

  10. GummiGumm –

    We bought these to have listen to NPR and the fill the room evenly with crisp voices and clear sound.

  11. dand –

    high and mid us extremely clean, perfect speakers to use with sub

  12. bobster –

    I really love these Martin Logan speakers they work great for my 2 rear channels

  13. Love4Apple –

    These are so much better than Polk and Bose. Amazing home theater experience if you add these to the mix! Highly recommended.

  14. JimC –

    Excellent sound and quality. We have a pair of these in our great room theater set up and they do an excellent job. They have quality sound and are nice looking.

  15. Bigone –

    The new speakers makes surround sound music and movies sound great

  16. SteveH –

    These speakers sound great for their size. I wanted something small but able to fill a room. I found that in these speakers.

  17. Remodel2019 –

    Quality brand and speaker for my budget great tweeters

  18. Izzy –

    Excellent speakers for my front channel surround. Excellent sound quality and sleek looking.

  19. Beachlover –

    They are small enough to fit on a tv console but produce wonderful sound

  20. jPskiChicago –

    I have these installed as rear channels in a 5.1.2 setup using a Marantz SR5013 receiver.

    For rear effects they produce a great soundstage and compliment the 4i’s extremely well.

    I wouldn’t recommend them for main channel’s as their limited dynamic range would have a hard time keeping up with more aggressive soundtracks like action movies or anything with heavy mid range.

  21. OJME –

    The Magnolia guy at the store demonstrated these for me. They sounded so good and are not small, so very convenient if need bookshelf speakers. Got them on sale so I’m not sure I would pay full price for these. Great quality and sound.

  22. Delga61 –

    Replaced old infinity book shelf speakers that were bulky. These speakers with the small footprint sound fantastic in my little home theater set up,

  23. DavidArk25 –

    I bought all 7 for my surround system and the sound is excellent! Clarity is great and nice style. Same quality (probably even better) as Bose.

  24. earglasses –

    Small but handsome speakers. Best used for a desktop computer or as rear speakers for a home theater system. While their sound can fill a large room, they’re not meant for loud delivery.

  25. jprimeau097 –

    I use these as my two rear speakers in an Atmos setup. They provide great sound and have allowed me to hear parts of movies and shows that I was missing previously with my old speakers. They are a perfect combination of size, price and performance. I will continue to buy only MartinLogan speakers in the future.

  26. Belle –

    I love these speakers they are loud and easy to set up

  27. MrZonta –

    Excellent projection for rear speakers. I bought open box and got an excellent price. They are used along the motion 30i and 15is.

  28. Traveler –

    I really like the sound of Martin Logan speakers, so was excited to find these speakers with a good price on Deal of the Day. I received both speakers. Sound is good. The only hesitation I have is that one speaker is louder than the other. I tried switching speaker wires, and the same not as loud speaker is still not as loud, despite feed being delivered from a different channel. I don’t yet know if this is something that is adjstable. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the purchase.

  29. BahamaJoe –

    I believe Martin Logan refers to this speaker as a Motion 2 i . I bought a pair as rear speakers to convert my audio system to 5.1 . I needed to place the speakers on a five inch wide ledge just in back of my listening area. These can be placed either standing or on their side if placed above the listening area. They delivered very good results as rear speakers connected to my Marantz receiver via a Rocketfish transmitter and receiver located in the rear of my den. I have to think that results would have been even better if the rear speakers were speaker wire connected directly to the Marantz receiver. But unfortunately not an option. After an initial break in period of a few days they still deliver noticeable surround sound effects especially during movies and are quite acceptable too for hearing music. I highly recommend the ML Motion 2i as rear speakers.

  30. gyme –

    tiny but impressive full rich sound. using as rear speakers. love them
    got them on sale and one was excellent open box.
    thank you for having open boxes and clearance new items.

  31. Cotesmom –

    They’re small but mighty. The sound is very clear.

  32. Curtis8600 –

    They’re really good everything is super clean and clear, the only knock would be there isnt really and mid or lows.

  33. Blawesome –

    Basically my same review of the 4i’s. I bought these for ceiling Atmos durround speakers. I was a little worried I wouldn’t like them as I found a pretty negative review online. These definitely don’t sound as good as my Motion 60i’s but because these are really for special effects noises they are perfect. They definitely need to be crossed over at 80hz and you have to have a subwoofer with them. They also have a 1/4×20 lug in them as they are designed to be wall mounted. Worked perfect for our needs.

  34. Goose –

    I had a older mirage nanosat speaker system With newer Pioneer elite Dolby Atmos front speakers that sounds great to this day. I decided to upgrade my home theater speaker system. I purchased the Martin Logan subwoofer and center channel and added them to my system and wow! what a difference they made. So I decided to replace my rear mirage speakers with the Martin Logan bookshelf speakers. All I have to say is Martin Logan speakers sound amazing. King Kong vs Godzilla you can hear every detail in the movie.

  35. SmartTV –

    Excellent sound.
    Great bookcase speakers.
    Great value.

  36. Phone –

    These speakers are great-
    Loud and great for small spaces-
    Bluetooth is a great feature.

  37. Rocketman –

    Great rear channel surround speaker. Paired with 4′ Martin Logan. Running on 8 ohm receiver.

  38. Schott2176 –

    I was looking into getting a home theater surround sound for our basement these were recommended in store from a magnolia staff member and the quality and sound is perfect for what I was looking for. Great price

  39. Awesome –

    Upgraded my rear surround sound speakers and couldn’t be happier with the quality and clarity. My surround sound system was always good but the speakers made it even better

  40. JohnP –

    I used a pair of these for ceiling mounted Atmos speakers amd they added a whole new dimension to my home theater experience.

  41. JohnB –

    Great product, great advice, great people! Would highly suggest.

  42. grandma6 –

    Good sound in a relatively small package. Not much bass response but that’s not surprising; fits our need for quality sound in a family room.

  43. BRC06 –

    We are using these for our rear surround speakers, but also pump music through and they are great!

  44. TannerN –

    I’m running these for my front and rear Atmos height speakers, love the sound these produce, especially the folded motion tweeters(very clear without being harsh)
    Great price per performance!

  45. PracticalGuy –

    Great sounding speaker, makes for a very good surround speaker

  46. Tigi –

    Very nice speaker with great quality sound and looks great

  47. VanessaG –

    Great sound and small but great power ! I am extremely pleased.

  48. JeffM –

    Nice design, modern, but not over the top. I had no low-end expectations due to the size, but matched with a small subwoofer they are very lively and perform well as a 2.1 system.

  49. MaxMin –

    I was disappointed by the quality of sound these speakers produced. I was hopeful that I could uses them as computer speakers or as speakers in my living room, but the sound was sub par and somewhat muffled.

  50. GamellieA –

    Great sound quality. Easy to connect to television and receiver
