This thread is about the Martin Logan Dynamo 1500X subwoofer. What is great about it? What do you dislike about it? How does it compare to other subwoofers in its class? Would you recommend one? A lot of people say that this is one seriously underrated sub...


There is very little information about the big Dynamo available. I've only found a few sources of information online:

There is a test in PDF format available from the German magazine AUDIO 12/2013


I will add to this list as I find more material.

Here are a the highlights of the AUDIO review. My German is not good enough so that I can translate the text.

Also here is the text from the review, in two parts. I tried OCR but it didn't work out well. So I couldn't use Google translate.

Which setup is better?

I currently have a Motion 30 center, Motion 40 towers. My room is 3 walls, 17 feet front to back and open wall left to right (40+ feet to furthest wall). Would it be better to have two Martin Logan Dynamo 700s (placed just to the inside of each tower up against front wall) or one Dynamo 1500x (placed just inside left tower, tower is 2 feet from left wall)? The 2 speaker setup would save me $400. Thanks in advance!
