Very good all-around speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
I happen to be using these as surrounds with MartinLogan Motion 40 towers and a Motion 30 center, and they do a great job, but before they were relegated to surround duty I did run them as my fronts for a day (just to see how they handled the more intensive role). I found them to be quite capable (as long as you have a subwoofer to handle the lower frequencies), pretty balanced, and very clear. Running them as surrounds with the other MartinLogans provides a very cohesive, enveloping sound that is very natural and enjoyable. Overall, the Motion 15s are very good speakers that sound more expensive than they are.

Great Center Channel Speaker
on July 20, 2013
Posted by: KilgoreTrout1
from Springfield, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm using the Motion 30 in a 5.1 home theater with the Motion 40s and Motion FXs, and I'm pretty impressed with it. Writing about speakers is difficult, as feelings about them are very subjective, but this is overall the best center channel speaker I have had. I've had several center channel speakers in the past, and typically prefer a 3-way configuration, but this little speaker is great. I was very nervous coming from a MUCH larger center, but the dialogue clarity, definition, range, and horizontal dispersion of the relatively small Motion 30 has quelled those initial reservations. I've never owned speakers with any sort of ribbon transducer, but they live up to the open, airy hype that I've always heard about. On top of the great sound (which is impressive from bottom to top), the Motion 30's physical attributes were welcomed by my fiance, who has always put up with my speaker choices, but this time embraced them. If you'd like to read a much more professional and eloquently-written review of this speaker, I'd highly recommend the one on Home Theater Magazine's website (I found pretty much everything in that review to be accurate).

Great Speakers

I'm using these speakers in a 5.1 home theater with the Motion 30 and Motion FXs, and I really enjoy them. Writing about speakers is difficult, as feelings about them are very subjective, but these are my favorite speakers I've owned. I've had Polks (both the very low end and some higher-end), Paradigms (Monitor series), and a couple of Internet-direct companies' offerings, and what stands out about the Motion 40s is the high frequencies, which are fantastic. I've never owned speakers with any sort of ribbon transducer, but they live up to the open, airy hype that I've always heard about. On top of the great sound (which is impressive from bottom to top), the Motion 40s' physical attributes were welcomed by my fiance, who has always put up with my speaker choices, but this time embraced them.

Good, Enveloping Surround Speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm currently using these as surrounds with MartinLogan Motion 40s and a Motion 30, and they do their job quite well. They provide a very enveloping, engaging experience and blend very well with the other Motions in my system. The star of these speakers is definitely the folded motion tweeters, which provide very clean, transparent highs, and help the FXs "disappear" in the room.

This wall mount allows for wall and ceiling mounting for easy installation and features adjustable pivots that lock your speakers into multiple positions to prevent slipping.

Good Speaker Mount

This speaker mount is just as described. It is great for small to medium sized speakers, and allows you to mount on a wall or the ceiling (with included lengthening adapter). The build quality is pretty good for the price, almost exactly like ones from Sanus, but at a lower cost. Once adjusted and tightened, they hold their positions very well.
