Martin Logan XT F100 Tower Speaker Review

- YAY! We finally got in our new speakers and had a chance to cook up the Martin Logan XT F100 review! These things are absolutely amazing and we don't say this lightly. 3 of us were there when conducting the review and we all had the same opinion. This can be rare due to the subjective make-up of speakers and Hi-Fi but in this case, we couldn't help ourselves. They are that good!

The depth and body that these speakers create is amazing. As an example, listen to 40 seconds of "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck on the XT F100s. The accuracy of the instruments and the presence of a soundstage is incredibly REAL. One of the things that we expect out of any higher-end speaker is for it to WOW us with something. To us, this is the entry mark of a great speaker. These XTF100 do this and more.
They feature:
Gen2 Folded Motion® XT Tweeter (geez this thing sounds good)
90° x 45° tweeter dispersion (H X V) to help control resonances and room reflections
Nomex®-Reinforced Kevlar® 6.5" mid-range
6.5" aluminum bass woofer X 3
Bottom ported with 5-way binding posts
92 dB sensitive/4 ohms
76 pounds
We also comment on the Martin Logan XT F200 vs XT F 100. The reference model (XT F200 models) in this line has 8" drivers instead of 6.5" models and a larger cabinet to help provide fullness and bass.

Hi, great review. Question regarding the xtb100. Would I be missing anything by opting to get the bookshelf’s with dual svs subs vs the towers f100? Is there any benefit of having f100 with subs vs b100 with subs as I will be crossing them over at 80-100hz regardless of setup?
Hi! Good question. You are almost always going to get more presence out of towers vs bookshelves as with towers, to a certain extent the entire speaker is acting as an instrument with resonances. Bigger the instrument...bigger the presentation. With that said, I think that you can get great sound for the buck with your proposed set-up. Therefore: BEST SOUND POSSIBLE > F100s with subs. BEST FOR BUDGET > Your proposal
Did you guys get to listen to the Martin Logan F20? Was wondering if that would be a step up from the Xt B100. Certainly in terms of price it is, but xt vs motion tweeter. Wondering if you guys had an opinion on that.
Hey...thanks for stopping by. We haven't had a chance to spend time with the F20s yet. We just got in the B10s and we'll be doing a review soon on them to compare the B10 vs B100 sound characteristic. We may bring in the F series shortly depending on if we can sell a few things to make a buck or two. Keep your eyes peeled for new reviews!
Hi - great review! I see you had the 60XTi still in the setup. What were your thoughts on the F100 against the 60XTi?
Thanks for stopping by. The F100 are slightly more forward with their treble signature and provide more realism with drums and wind instruments. The 60s have a bit more fullness/bass (the F200s match the 60s in this regard). At the current close-out price, the 60s are an excellent buy. Check out the description in our video below and you will find links to the 60s at crazy prices (I think there are still some in cherry around). Please consider getting them through that link if they meet your needs.

Can you say more about room size and speaker size? What about the ML XT F100s in a 13x14.5 ft room?
Thanks for stopping by. We made a comment in this video about speaker placement and that they were too close for one of the particular tracks to sound its best. We had just moved things around to accommodate some tools and our seating area was much closer than it normally was.
Think of speakers like an instrument. Bigger speakers do a better job of pressurizing larger rooms. However, optimal placement is key. If you are at a concert and you are 5' from one of the giant PA speakers, aside from losing your hearing in 3 seconds...the experience isn't optimal. Same with tower speakers.
How far back will the seating area be in your place?
@@airetheaterdesigns thanks for the reply. Seating is about 8 or 8.5 feet from speakers
@@traind Should be fine. Check out the principles in this video for set-up.
