Good for Home Theater and Music

When finally ready to equip my media room, I found myself challenged to find speakers that would give me good sound for both movies and music, as well as fit a relatively tight space around my screen. I had initially looked at bookshelf speakers, thinking any tower speakers would be too big. I listened to the Martin Logan Motion 15's and really liked the sound, especially the folded ribbon tweeters. They are bright (after hearing these, I finally understand what that means) but without the harshness that I found with other speakers. Then, I noticed the Motion 40's nearby. The top is essentially a Motion 15 with the additional woofers, cabinet space, and enhanced crossovers. Even without a subwoofer, I appreciated the full range sound they offered on several demo tracks. I brought them home to put them head to head against a few other speakers I considered. I had them all hooked up to a selector switch, so I could quickly cycle between them. I found that, as I listened to the others, the sound was good...until I switched to the Motion 40's and realized all that I wasn't even hearing with the other speakers. These were the most expensive speakers in my test set and I do think they stood out enough to justify the expense. I went ahead and stretched my budget to get these as I wanted a speaker system that I could be happy with for a long long time.
My Best Buy number: 960939877
