This can be important if one is using an amplifier that isn’t rated for high wattage, or for those looking for really loud levels for movies or music, as well as those sitting farther away from their speakers.

The build quality was on par with a superior system and the value of it all was incredible!

I have always looked for the best sounding speakers I can get for the best value

But for a good sized home room, they work like a charm, a great value for the price.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and I can only repeat what others have said, they are a terrific value!

These pointed feet screw into the bottom of the speaker, firmly situating it on the floor which improves bass response and imaging

The mid-range and the tweeter are acceptably close to each other so that their distance does not smudge up the sound image (which happens on the ML M 10)

Customer support from Logan was good, but I have not yet had time to correct as it is a serious DIY job, i.e. requires more than just an allen key!Otherwise pleased

Theoretically, the M 12 could work in a relatively large room of about 500 sq

From the first moment that I heard Martin Logan products in my home there was a sense of immense clarity over my previous system (a top end system from a respected vendor).

The R5Bi bookshelf speakers have a more open and clearer top end.

, if you have a cheap amplifier, and bad, if you have spent more than $3,000 on it (update: my HK 7550 was still worth the price with the M12s; end of update)

I enjoyed the R5Bi bookshelf speakers because of all the subtle and refined characteristics they have over the R55Ti towers (top end, a pristine upper midrange and being less colored or more neutral).

The point source KEF Uni-Q drivers provide a smooth and detailed frequency response along with a tight, focused image and the larger 6.5" Uni-Q of the Q300 allows for better low end response then the Q100's 5.25" driver without stepping up to the larger Q700 tower

KEF C1SYSTEM Speaker System with Subwoofer (6 Pieces)I purchased this on Amazon at what i thought was a very good price for a premium speaker brand

These MartinLogan's are a good price with a great sound, and good speakers are hard to come by without one totally breaking the bank

The speakers were packaged well and were beautiful to look at with a touch of glossy black

They came well packaged with a nice fitted sock to protect the finish.

The first thing I noticed when they arrived was how well packaged the speakers were.

I wanted to go with a smaller speaker set but they were either too expensive or they lacked the quality of the 12s

They are of course also excellent for pure music with a clear, detailed sound quality not to be missed

Loses Bluetooth connection, sound quality not that great.

Aside from volume, the quality of the sound is very good

I had to return the first set of speakers due to poor sound quality.

The clarity is amazing -- I am hearing the plucking of strings, whether orchestral or guitar, with such full dimension that the sound seems to reverberate in the room

Clarity on these is amazing and they seem to sound even better the louder they go

However, I found myself preferring the pristine clarity and more openness of the bookshelf speakers for both movies and music, especially for music

They can get as loud as I want without losing any clarity or balance

As I am unlikely to spend $3.5k on electrostatic fronts (haha, I don't even have the space for them in my small living room), I am sticking to the M12s, especially because I am convinced ML replaced them with an inferior product at a higher price

I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone at the price off $499

Accurate response..nice soundstage and suprisingly good lows.

These speakers have the crispest highs and best soundstage of any sub-2500 dollar speakers I have heard

This gives me time to try multiple placement and toe-in scenarios and to check out sonic characteristics, soundstage attributes, and overall sonic appeal of speakers.

The R55Ti’s are more sensitive than their R5Bi little brothers, which one would expect with more drivers and larger drivers.

As you can see above, the tall R55Ti’s hardly overwhelmed the small R5Bi’s.

I was seriously considering Energy 5.1 Take Classic system but went with KEF C1 after doing some research

in summary, great system for less than $500, but for a $1000

Not worth spending anything close to a $1000, many systems can be had for under $500.

As the bass port is in the back, 2-3 feet between the speakers and the wall behind them prevents boomy/unpredictable bass response

I prefer an uncolored, flat response, even if it appears a bit dry on rare occasions

Sadly, once the bass drivers are cheap, the bass of the M12 is only as good as it gets

The highs are the best I have heard and they have quite good bass for a 6.5" speaker.

For music and movies I like a little more bass than these can put out alone but crossed over at 70 hz with a good

having said that it sounds as good as many of the top name soundbars and has excellent bass
