Description of πŸ”Š Upgrade your Home Audio: Gloss Black MartinLogan Motion 8i Center Channel Speaker - Single Speaker

Folded Motion Tweeter "squeezes" air and requires almost 90% less excursion than the typical 1" dome tweeter, drastically minimizing distortion while providing a lightning fast response time. Elegant yet understated styling with a flawless high-gloss, piano black finish, subtle curves, and a signature perforated grille. The innovative Folded Motion Tweeter is engineered with a large surface area (8-times that of a typical 1" dome tweeter) to create clear, highly dynamic and precise sound. Convenient push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts help guide speaker wire effortlessly into place, and accept banana plugs in addition to bare wire. Flexible design allows horizontal or vertical installation.

Amazing Sound from Martin Logan

So far I'm very impressed with the My Martin Logan's surround speakers. I connected an ML Motion 8i center channel with an ML Motion 4i front and rear surround sound to an ML Dynamo 1000W subwoofer. Voices and music in the 8i are very clear and sound amazing.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Some Difficulties

Narrow dispersion - speaker

Center channel speaker has a narrow dispersion. The voice does not go beyond the size of the speaker. It doesn't deliver the quality that comes from the entire front of a 65-inch TV. It really annoys me because I'm watching on a big screen, but the characters' voice is clearly coming out of that little box under the screen. WATCH TV.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great center channel. The speaker does a phenomenal job of reproducing conversations crisply and clearly.

Great center channel, does exactly what it's supposed to do: carry clear dialogue while other speakers take over music and sound effects. 8i offers a great opportunity. The quality of the speaker balances everything out quite a bit, sometimes my center channel seems to overwhelm my front channel, but I'm sure I need to space the right/left channels a bit further. I am very happy with the purchase, this is the best center channel speaker I have ever owned.

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • Some little things

Outstanding center speaker system!

I have two Martin-Logan Preface floorstanding front speakers and needed a compatible center channel speaker. Since the Preface speakers are a bit older (2008), finding a compatible center channel was harder than one might think. I've tried different speakers from Polk, Definitive, KLH, M&K and even a Martin-Logan Encore TF speaker but wasn't happy with the results. In most cases, the sound was muddy or didn't match the stage design. The Martin-Logan Motion 8i speaker turned out to be a great…

  • Best

MartinLogan Motion 8i center channel speaker is excellent

I purchased a Martin Logan Motion 8i center channel speaker to complement my home entertainment system. I have the following settings: 1) Sony ES STRD A3400 ES A/V Receiver. This is a 7.1 channel receiver with excellent performance. I bought it from Crutchfield. I highly recommend this company. They have great products, prices and service. 2) My front speakers are two Martin Logan Preface floorstanding speakers. 3) My subwoofers are two Martin Logan Dynamo 700 powered subwoofers They are Bose…

Pros
  • understandable even for the old
Cons
  • operating speed
