@rickywatsonjr.1930 3 месяца назад

Love my MartinLogan F100s and Center Channel. Perfect sound and punch in my space and couldn't be happier! Really glad they came out when they did, because I had just completed my build and wanted to make the right choice in my space! Currently pairing it with the Sony ES7000 AVR and really loving it all!

@garysmith8455 4 месяца назад

Hello Michael, thank you for the positive review! I have had my Dynamo 1600X for sometime now, which was paired by my dealer with a pair of the Classic 9 electrostats in a 2.1 music system (not theater). I ran the ARC with a laptop AND the perfect bass mic kit system. The stand is of professional quality and I used 5 listening positions. Cool thing is, you get complete data (graphs) on the laptop as it communicates directly with the sub via the USB connector on its rear panel. The graphic display shows what you started with both before and AFTER ARC, and whats nice is, you can switch it in and out ON THE FLY and hear the differences. After ARC calibration, now, you can fine tune to your tastes with the filters and levels and all that usual tools. Again, ARC is the real star with this sub, and as you showed, the fact that it is 'convertible' is a nice and thoughtful touch, ALSO, an optional wireless capability too. To conclude, ARC in my 24x18' space re-tuned the sub to 16Hz and took out a huge bump I had at 25 Hz. What a difference!, I used a tablet as remote during setup fine tuning, but once that was done, I never fuss with it. Many thanks for the Martin Logan 'nod' 👍

@BG-bd5ye 4 месяца назад

I’ve had these as soon as they were available. I’ve got the AVM90 with the Classe Delta 2 channel for the front stage. These ML F200’s really come alive with a dedicated 2 channel amplifier.

@sonngo4269 4 месяца назад

Nice review and setup, Mike. Thank you. I am enjoying the B100 as rear and side surrounds in a 7.4.4 setup. They sounds fabulous for HT. For critical two channel listening, I found them to be a little hot in the treble. Not as refine as other speakers in my systems (a little grainy and a little smearing in the mid range), but they are amazingly fun with very low distortion drivers! As a side note, the B100 are really not 93 dB speakers from my experience....sound much closer to 87 dB. 😀😀😀

@snowinokinawa 3 месяца назад

Hello Youthman… brilliant review as usual! May I ask about how one would go about combining ARC on the subs with Dirac Live on my RZ70 for example? Is it better in this case to avoid the ARC on the subs altogether relying solely on Dirac?… or do they complement each other with great benefits seen running ARC on subs just prior to running Dirac on the whole 5.1.4 system? Thanks very much Youthman… I’m VERY curious about this question. :)

How do the F200/100 compare to the previous series 60XTi?

@squared80 4 месяца назад

Michael, I have the Klipsch RF-7 III's for my LCR. After watching this video, I went to Abt Electronics and put the F200's through the ringer with some music. I have to tell you, I was just as impressed as you were. Although I prefer my RF-7 III's for our HT sound, I am thinking about grabbing a pair of these for our living room, which is where we mainly listen to music. Thanks for the review! Now to reach out to Ryan...

@Youthman 4 месяца назад

I agree! The RF7 III are fantastic speakers. But as you have stated, for 2ch listening, being a 3-way design with a dedicated midrange driver plus the folded motion tweeter, I feel the F200’s are superior.

@bigdogaxis 4 месяца назад

My experience with these subs and the app is that the app limits the customization to the SW settings and EQ. Having an Anthem mic and the ARC Genesis, one gains full control of SW customization prior to using the receiver's room correction.

@Youthman 4 месяца назад

Yes the app is “down and dirty”. Super quick and handy for those that do not want to dive deep into measurements.

How is the sound compared to JTR? You said you were calpping when you heard Hans Zimmer on the JTRs! So are they cleaner and better and just do not look as good as the Martin Logans?

The way I saw you throwing that subwoofer around showing the feet I knew it would be a let down. For 2,0000. there are a lot of really really good subs. For less than double you can get some real experience altering subs from JTR. I would get the speakers but skip these ML subs.

@Youthman 4 месяца назад

Although they sound good, they certainly are nowhere near the caliber of say a JTR subwoofer. But many people do not have the budget for a $4,500 subwoofer. You are correct. There is a lot of competitive subs in the $2,000 range that could outperform them.

Great review. I have the f200 but have been interested in the JTR 212htr would that be an upgrade or more of a horizontal move. I understand it’s not Apples to apples comparison and only asking for your opinion. These would be 90% movie 10% music if that helps. Thanks Youthman.

I also have the F200's and have heard several JTR setups. For 90% movie use, I would objectively recommend the JTR's all day. For more of mixed use is when personal preference would come into play.

@Youthman Месяц назад

If you have Klipsch that sounds scratchy, you have a broken speaker. I have owned over 50 pair of Klipsch speakers over the years and not a single speaker I have ever heard anything close to being described as scratchy. They offer clarity, detail and dynamics. What they lack is refined midrange that the MartinLogan F200’s provide.

im in the same boat, my klipsch are a party speaker not a articulated listening speaker, so im selling all my klipsch speakers i might keep the center speaker tho

If you end up going with a different brand, there’s no reason to keep your Center channel. It’s not going to be even remotely close to the same sound characteristics as another brand.

If you think Martin Logan is a good loudspeaker factory, designer, then you have to think again. Martin Logan LX16 is not a good speaker in terms of sound. The speaker has problems in the frequency and other problems. And goes down to below 3 ohms at the lowest, something that not all amplifiers like, especially not cinema amplifiers

@@Youthman That is the problem with many cheap and mid-range speakers. I've been dealing with speakers long enough, so I know how a speaker should and shouldn't measure up. I know what is CHEAP or good quality components. If you look at the speaker crossover filter on many speakers, there are often CHEAP components and the terminal uses magnetic steel. This is the reality. Too many speakers have a maximum price the factory can use. And in order to hang on to enough money, the quality is often compromised?

@sonngo4269 4 месяца назад

These speakers have amazing drivers and cabinets. A little tinkering will bring these up to objectively stellar levels; unfortunately, most speakers are design with "house sound" in mind. I think all the issues we see are purposely design into the speakers.
