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

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

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.

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

Clarity and imaging for each instrument and distinct imaging space for vocals

Excellent stereo imaging, accuracy and tight bass with audiophile quality amplifier

They produce great imaging and the mids are really nice

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).

, 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)

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.

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

Awesome speakers and at the sale price there asking now, probably one of the best deals in a bookshelf speaker you will ever find

If your system can handle them, these are one of the best deals going on high end speakers right

I purchased this set during one of Amazon's Gold Box sales for $499 (I thought that was a great deal until I heard they were selling them at one point for $350)

When I purchased these speakers they were just under $350 and at that price point they are a great deal.

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

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

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

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

Loses Bluetooth connection, sound quality not that great.

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

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

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

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

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.

Accurate response..nice soundstage and suprisingly good lows.

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.

but the system is nice for the price and fills up the room.

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

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.

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

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

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

The sound was as good as it gets from the technology employed in the speakers, but the bass actually deepened after burn-in, which upset the sound balance by my standards

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

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