  1. MieInOR

    Big improvement over an older Bose center channel speaker. The highs & dialogue is MUCH brighter and the base response is terrific. Fills in nicely with older Infinity Tower II front speakers.

  2. INHOME

    We decided on a better higher wattage version center channel

  3. Supersystem

    Super clear but not overpowering. Can really here what a center Chanel should be

  4. Robert

    Good product quality. Sound has good highs and lows while watching dolby atmos, and other surround sound modes.

  5. LGdishwasher

    Sounds like you are right in the movie with this speaker. Very high quality and awesome clarity. Highly recommend.

  6. Andrea

    Excellent sound from the speaker along with those in the ceiling!

  7. NotGeek

    Love our new center speaker. Sounds great with our in ceiling center and rear speakers.

  8. KClaytor

    Great center speaker for media room of any size. Perfect treble and clear at high volumes.

  9. Bandit

    Great sound easy set up love this product I highly recommend this great price also

  10. Hemi1

    Bought this as an upgrade to older Denton receiver.
    It’s amazing the difference in sound and clarity easy to operate and use built in apps is wonderful

  11. Anon

    There are better center channels available at this price. The dialog is clear and crisp, but wish it was louder at 0 gain. This is used with a motion 15i L & R. The speaker provides true sound – if the source quality is poor, it will output poor sound.

  12. Blessed

    This is a good and easy to use Product, will recommend it to family and friends

  13. Tslag

    Great speaker. Was a perfect fit for a fireplace mantel, and other Martin Logan speakers worked well for my room also. Very clear speaker. Make sure to pair it with a quality amp/receiver to get the best sound. Beautiful gloss finish also!

  14. Vijay

    Its working as expected. Very happy with the product

  15. Abby

    I bought this center channel to work with my Marantz system and it works perfectly. The sound fills my theater room and it was an easy set up. I must confess that the size is very light and that is a huge advantage for me as I dislike bulky items. I would strongly recommend this center channel for anyone who needs one. Not to mention it carried my 7.2 sound set up pretty good.

  16. Sodcutter

    Great home theater sound, very well designed by Magnolia Excellent install and set-up by Geek squad.

  17. Rocketman

    Crystal clear center channel audio. Running with 8 ohm amp.

  18. Gadcat1

    Martin Logan center channel: this speaker has been a great add to our home surround system. Great clarity and punch in all frequencies. We tried a Polk and were replacing an Infinity. Well worth the price.

  19. Olivia

    Good center channel for the price point. No complaints at all. Well balanced sound.

  20. inoracam

    Really adds to the sound in our media room. My partner is hard of hearing and sometimes quieter conversations get lost. This helps clear up those. A nice addition to the speakers. It looks nice. Set up was easy (especially if you have the Magnolia crew do it for you haha).

  21. SamsungSoundbar

    Excellent sound, Very Clear vocal and dialogue . Great as a center speaker

  22. Kennygadawgadawg241241

    Great center channel speaker from Martin Logan. Sound is amazing.

  23. GoodSpeaker

    The sound is good.
    The speakers are slim and looks good.
    It’s glossy so you have to be careful not to scratch them.

  24. James

    Looks great, sounds great and well worth the money

  25. ABRAHAM

    Lorenzo Anchondo Best Buy rep, visited my home and provided me great service and was very professional. He quoted me ring outdoor cameras and doorbell and 70” tv surround sound speakers receivers & mounts and was very clear and knew the best options for my applications. I appreciate his efforts which led me to more purchases. I’m a business owner and I’m always in need of people like him. He’s a asset. Thank you Best Buy for training and Employing professionals

  26. PicMan

    Awesome speaker. Had a Motion-8, but this Motion-8i has a completely different sound. Like noticeably different, that’s all I can say. I love it.

  27. BBuser2022

    Amazing sound and looks good too. Can not go wrong with Martin Logan.

  28. WeekendAudiophile

    I moved up to this from a definitive technology procenter 1000 and is quite a step up. The range and sound quality at higher volumes is impressive comparatively. My receiver detected it as meeting THX specs and is able to keep up with my bigger floor speakers without distortion. The ribbon tweeter Is pretty smooth and doesnt suffer from the occasional tinny and piercing sounds you might get with a conventional horn tweeter.

    It does lack some oomph that higher end speakers may have but then again, i am comparing it to the $800-1000 centers that were sitting beside it in the demo room.

    As an occasional audiophile, i would 5 out of 5 buy it again.

  29. Red122

    Great for the money, was looking at the next step up, but this one had a smaller profile and sounded great

  30. BDonohue

    Easy to install and calibrate sound balance. Awesome quality. Love listening to previous recordings and shows and hearing it for the first time again. Didn’t realize I was missing so much before. Highly recommend!

  31. EpicGlory

    The sound quality for the price is great. I let6 sub do the heavy lifting on the low hertz, so this thing is able to handle the rest along with the rest of my 5.1 setup.

  32. Rozzy

    Amazing center channel and sound system! Must hear for yourself.

  33. Areyoukiddingme25chars

    This speaker sounded just OK. Voices in movies still hard to understand. I took it back snd am yding an OLD DCM speaker that sounds just as good, if not better … and it was free.
    Newer isn’t always better.

  34. Disappointed

    Great quality sound! Zero disappointment. Thrilled with the purchase. Worth every penny.

  35. Soma

    Excellent and superior sound quality. Reasonably priced.

  36. SRTGUY

    This center channel speaker really delivers, great clear voice sound

  37. Morningblue

    Just bought them. I have heard all good things about it , can’t wait to put it up and enjoy my movies

  38. Bosch

    Just assed this center channel speaker to my new home theater system and love it!

  39. omishra

    Felt like no power. I thought it would be powerful and will have great sound but not satisfied. I am using all Martinlogan in media room so expectation was high with this one as well

  40. TimF

    Crystal clear sound. Surround sound exceeds expectations. Will need to contact Total Tech for a more nuanced set up.

  41. Mark

    I loved this speaker so much for our bedroom, I got another one for the living room. This speaker gives us a total of 6 speakers, in each location. I definitely adds to the overall sounds we get. Would never want to go back to not having it.

  42. KevinM

    Sleek and compact with great sound and reasonably priced.

  43. mickiesue

    Excellent center channel speaker. Has added so much depth and clarity to my viewing experience.

  44. Rusty

    Extremely clear center channel speaker. You will be amazed at the clarity and power of this unit. Very sleek packaging too.

  45. danielk

    Sound output and clarity is amazing. It’s been a month and very happy with the product

  46. CesarA

    Excellent speakers, great sound. I will definitely recommend any body to use and experience the magnificent sound and performance of this unit with a nice glossy black look to decorate the atmosphere in the environment, I’m happy with the Martini Logan center channel for my home theater system

  47. DeborahL
