  1. Remodel2019

    Love these speakers and brand. Crisp sound and voice

  2. Harris

    Small powerful Center speaker that will blow the doors off any sound bar or other center channel speaker in its class. Amazed the quality of sound out of a small speaker. Martin Logan wins again!

  3. Densva

    Makes movies better to listen to – makes dialogue clearer to hear.

  4. Love2019sound

    We are please with the purchase. The sound is excellent and clear.

  5. Tutuman007

    This is a great product and I waited until it went on sale to purchase it.

  6. DonBreezy86

    Sleek design, well balanced blend when it comes to highs, Mid’s and lows. Vocals carry very well, especially when it comes to music, as it being a ribbon speaker. Balances very nicely with my Bowen and Wilkin 683 tower speakers, ran through my Denon 2600 receiver.

  7. jPskiChicago

    As a center channel, this is pretty great. I have this hooked up to a Marantz SR5013 and the dialogue from music and movies is stellar. For this price you’re not going to get exceptional mid range and bass but I still feel like this is a fantastic speaker for the price.

    This was my first time owning a Martin Logan speaker – and the detail (especially in the treble range) was very clean and crisp without being too airy or edgy. I was concerned about an overly metallic or jarring sound stage but the balance is exceptional and joined with 4i’s and mains, and 2i’s as as surrounds – you have an amazing speaker package for movies.

  8. Clay

    Speakers are excellent; installation needed improvement. Speaker fell off the wall the day after install and damaged speaker. Best Buy didn’t seem to be in any hurry to fix the problem.

  9. Upnorthbuyer

    Excellent sound quality. Using in a 3.0 system in a large room without rear speakers.

  10. Customer1

    Powerful sound from a small package. Sounds absolutely crisp and clear! if you know anything about Martin Logan you know the quality you’re getting. My opinion they don’t make a bad product

  11. BroncoFamily

    We were upgrading the sound system in our living room and this center speaker was ideal for our limited space location and replaced a center speaker that never really worked right. Puts out beautiful sound and is the right size.

  12. Handsonparent

    The dialogues are definitely clearer and done just having my two def tech towers with the atmos . I still believe that the def tech center speaker is better.

  13. Thetino7

    This center speaker lights up the room. It has taken my surround sound to another level.

  14. skrips

    This was the finishing touch for a multi speaker sound system. Works great!

  15. Speakers

    Very pleased with the sound of this speaker. It sounds really good.

  16. Poorsha

    Excellent speaker. It blows away the Polk speaker it replaced, especially the vocals.

  17. Mallik

    Good speaker works for the regular tv not for the movies. Dialogues were not clear enough. Returning to get 52-C from Klipsch.

  18. Jade

    Good quality sound. Perfectly rounds out the system I am working on putting together

  19. Seraph

    Got it during the holiday sale to replace a definitive technology center speaker. It definitely sounds better.

  20. ElonPJ

    Amazing sound!!! Great speaker!!! Can’t go wrong with Martin Logan!!!

  21. Terry

    Very high quality center channel speaker! Dialog is very clear. Don’t let the small size fool ya

  22. Yamaha

    Great purchase! They sound great, I’m very happy with the purchase!

  23. Goose

    The center channel sounds awesome for the price. I purchased this with a Martin Logan subwoofer. It really enhanced my Home theater.

  24. Jedone

    Martin Logan!!!! I could just stop right there .. the brand alone Produces Excellence in every product that they make!!! I was using another brand center speaker and I must say I had to keep turning it up to hear the words of each character…..ohh not with this speaker… it cut straight through and they clarify was excellent!!!!!! Center channel is the most important speaker of your home theater… and I made an excellent decision by selecting the 6i!!
    Thank you Best Buy team!!!

  25. Jared

    Impressive sound from a small speaker… It’s sound quality is equal to my KEF center channel speaker.

  26. Wallmount

    Good speaker; completed our surround sound system.

  27. Terry

    Sounds great. Easy to install and setup. Works with my Denon receiver

  28. asimjian

    Works great. Sound quality is great. Easy to setup and looks great on our tv stand.

  29. Anon

    Weak on the dialog clarity. I returned the product and went with a motion 8i

  30. RSSanders76

    Sales team was extremely professional and found exactly what wanted at a great price.

  31. Lincob

    Excellent middle speaker. Words are easy to understand and music is crisp and clear. The words are not drowned by muddy music.

  32. oholla

    Replaced my Polk audio center speakers with this beauty. Got on a sale so great bang for my buck

  33. Speaker

    So far so good! Only installed for one day. We are praying a long and happy relationship!

  34. Robert

    Did finally receive and enjoying. The tuner and the turntable are what really make the difference. Only wish they came with instructions. Sometimes if I have a question I have to go online on waste time by trying different solutions. It was several months before receiving.

  35. JFIZZ

    Works as advertised. Speaker is of high Quality. Would recommend to purchase this item.

  36. Earbuds

    Nice sound especially for human verbal audio. Nice footprint too.

  37. FriendlyBuyer

    This thing sound great. Highly recommend, well priced.

  38. GreatGeekasquadinstallers

    Nice sound, looks good, fits in nicely with surround sound

  39. DenonandLGG2

    It will make your day

  41. RobertS

    Excellent sound for its size. Compact makes for easy placement .Martin Logan makes great products .

  42. RaulsTV

    Excellent for all 3 of my ML playing simultaneously . Clear and pleasing!

  43. Pupisky

    It’s a decent center but for more clarity i would recommend the Motion 30i

  44. Revuu

    It had been a while since I purchased a speaker for my system so it was very helpful to have a Sr. Consultant at Best Buy help with the selection. This speaker is preforming better than expected. It helped to bring out the best in my system.

  45. Unknown

    The speaker performed well but was to large for the area planned to put it on.

  46. JohnK

    I needed a compact center channel speaker and this one fills the bill. Sound is just OK, but fine.

  47. TerriK

    Can’t tell you much about this unit other than our Best Buy Audio Professional recommended this as part of our new home theatre. We are pleased with it.

  48. Great

    We had bought a middle speaker and it was way too big. Then we were shown this speaker and it sounded amazing and was much smaller.

  49. SandeepU

    Its was too good and the quality of Sound is awesome

  50. Deejai

    This is not about the speaker, its about the experience I recently had with BestBuy store.

    I did a curbside pick up on Friday and upon returning home I noticed that the seal of the box was opened already. All the documents, wall brackets, rubber pads that comes in the box was missing. The speaker had fingerprint all over the place. I was unhappy that this could have easily avoided by checking when BestBuy processed my order. I believe what I received was an open-box item or a returned one.

    When I went to the same store to return the item and explained why I am returning the item, the store didn’t even care to apologies for the experience I had. All I was asked what ‘What would I like to do about it?’. It was disappointing that the store like BestBuy who use to be great in customer service is going down hill. It was a waste of time for everyone from order processing to return. This is certainly a bitter experience I had with BestBuy in recent days.
