MartinLogan Motion 10 Stereo or Home Theater Front/Surround Speaker Each

Pros: Real ash wood finish instead of vinyl or imitation. Advanced heli ribbon tweeter design and performance. Unusually low price for a terrific speaker. Speaker includes a full size cover.

Cons: Lightweight on the bass or low frequencies. Made in China. (But what isnt these days?)

Overall Review: Picked these up on sale for a 2 channel bedroom setup based on forum buzz. Currently own a set of Sunfire CRM speakers but have owned Polk, Focal and most recently Totem Dreamcatchers. I find these speakers to perform better than any of these except the Sunfire. Highs on most other brands I have heard are either too soft or too hyped and the dispersion properties of a dome tweeter makes the latter worse in typical rooms. The Motion 10 are able to sound quite detailed and clean without the emphasis due in part to the folded ribbon being restricted to a more horizontal dispersion pattern. This trait eliminates room reflections which can color and muddy the sound. Soundstage when properly placed is deep and wide with quality material. The sound was a bit light in the low frequencies but paired with a small sub they sound fantastic. I also find the real ash wood finish to be just fine - dont know what all the other complaints are about since at this price one typically gets vinyl.

Pros: Remarkably good for the price range. I was hoping they were not going to be as directional as some of the higher end MartinLogan speakers that I have auditioned and they are not. I use these as surround/side speakers in my home theater 5 speaker set-up and they are a big improvement over the other speakers I had before. Better bass than I was expecting and sweet sounds from the tweeters for the high end. I do think they require a breaking in period which is expected with some speakers. They actually sound better now than when I first bought them. I'm pleased.

Cons: I wish they were taller. If you sit on your couch/ chair/ whatever to watch a movie, these speakers are not going to be ear level unless you are vertically challenged- that means short. I'm having speaker stands built for these to raise them up about 10 inches which should get them to the optimum level.

Pros: fantastic sound (make sure you hear these with your brand receiver first) clear highs, mids, lows sound clear but not strong. i use a powered sub

Cons: not bassier. YOu can't expect it from the size, but the bass it does put out is clear

Overall Review: i cant stress enough to break these in and hear them in store with your brand receiver. The 10's sounded better with my harman than the 12's did. But the 12's sounded better with a denon in the store than the10's.

Pros: It's been a little more than two weeks since I own this pair of speaker, I must say, it sounds just ok when I first hook it up. I wasn't impressed with the sound until after 1 week of using it. It sound a little muddy initially but after the break in period, it sound much much accurate and solid. The clarity sound which review lots of details. Speakers are hooked up to a Sony STR-DN2010 using is as a front speakers. Can't be happier for a pair of speaker at this price. Most of the best buy store has this speakers so you may go and experience it before buying.

Cons: Not much. The bass sound a bit muddy but after the break in period, the mid to low sound much solid.

Overall Review: If this is the price range you are looking for then just buy this pair. It looks good and it sounds great. I like the magnetic grill that cover the front. Overall, well constructed speaker. (P.S. I'm in no way an audiophile but I know what sounds good and what not - I enjoy soft music/classical and I prefer clarity sound over heavy bass)

Pros: Sound Quality- I was going to use these as my surrounds but after comparing them side by side with my Klipsch F1s, I think they will be going used as the main fronts. The highs are crisp and clean without the tinny sounds of tweeters usually in speakers at this price range. Midrange is full and robust and they do not muddy at higher volumes. I do have these coupled with a Velodyne 12" sub and it is a perfect match. Price! $119 is a massive deal for these speakers. I cannot think of any other speakers in this price range that even comes close to the quality and sound that these have. Look- These speakers look good and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the aesthetics of these speakers. Everything about these screams high quality when you take them out of the box from the magnetic grills to the METAL base with removable gunmetal floor spikes.

Cons: I haven't found any so far

Overall Review: I do wish that the bottom grills were made of metal like the tweeter grill, but I am sure that it would have been a issue with weight with the grill being magnetic.

Pros: Blows my mind at the details I was missing before. I agree with previous reviewers in that these speakers weren't made for booming bass. Invest in a subwoofer (or some Motion 12's) Big fan of the "folded motion tweeter" really crisp. I love the shape of these speakers as well. At $120 each you can't get a better speaker!

Cons: None, that I've noticed.

Overall Review: I hooked up my newly acquired Motion 10's as my rear channels in my 5.1 system. I'm using the Motion 12's (also from Newegg) as the front channels. Battlefield 3 via xbox live has been taken to a whole new level. My neighbors probably wonder how I fit a M1 Abrams in my living room.

Pros: Great sound and very well built. I bought them at a discounted price. So, for the price the speakers are excellent.

Cons: none

Pros: Very clear and detailed highs and mids. Lows are respectable for a speaker of this size/volume. The speakers are well built and surprisingly solid and hefty for their diminutive size. The push-in cable receptacles are very convenient and their buttons are generously shaped. At about 850-1000/pair I'd say they're respectable performers; at 200/pair they're outstanding.

Cons: I should have bought more than two units! Now they're gone! :(

Overall Review: Speakers need a beefy amplifier, or a receiver that outputs high current. Efficiency is about average. I can see why they didn't sell so quickly at full retail because this size, price-point, and type of speaker (bass reflex) is unusual for ML; I guess they were perceived as kind of an odd ball offering so people didn't know what to make of them. If it's important my background in audio is in the high, high-end but I love all audio products and these things are surprisingly good. They take me back to the 80's and 90's when there was such a thing as "mid-fi" and you could get great sound without having to spend a whole ton of money.
