Great effects speakers

This is my second set of Martin Logan Motion ceiling speakers. The previous set was in a house I recently sold so the new set is going in the new house. I have ML 60XT tower fronts and 50XT center so I like everything timbre-matched in my media room. These speakers sound great and are very well made. I normally only buy new but took a chance and bought a pair of these through Crutchfield's Open Box program. They look new to me, have all original packing and documentation and were offered at a great price vs. brand new. For info, I did make an error and ordered the MC6-HT Retrofit Back-Boxes thinking they would fit these. They don't. Not even close. They only fit MC6-HT's. Even though they didn't say they would fit on Crutchfield's site, the ML site was kinda vague so I thought maybe they would. ML does make an appropriate back box for these (C6BXR) but at the current time Crutchfield doesn't offer them. A bit of confusion on my part that might help someone else so I'm passing it along. Of course, Crutchfield's Customer Service is top notch so returning the boxes wasn't a problem.

Pros: Well-made speaker, sound great, simple to install

Cons: Not Crutchfield's fault but I think Martin Logan could be a little more clear on the accessories for their speakers. Their site needs work.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
