As any home theatre enthusiast can certainly attest to, finding a perfect speaker is certainly a difficult endeavor; even more so if your home theatre space is limited. As such, I was excited to test the newly released Martin Logan F10 floor standing speaker. With a compact size and glossy black finish, this certainly seems to be a viable compact solution without sacrificing sound quality. Upon first inspecting the F10s, you will note several accessories included in the box. First, you will note four large brackets with the hard surface feet preinstalled. Secondly, there are four extremely sharp feet for you to use on carpet but I personally eluded not use these. Physically, once you have successfully unboxed your F10, the speaker has exceptional workmanship. The gloss black model is extremely elegant and is a sight to behold. Surprisingly, each speaker does have some weight to it, clocking in at 50 lbs each. However, due to their compact size, I was able to easily move and position them without issue. Lastly, you will note two sets of terminals on the back that support a bi-amp configuration. All in all, I believe most will be completely satisfied at the modern look of the F10s. Before I discuss my testing results, I first would like to mention that all the results here will more than likely differ from what your personal experience, especially given the wide range of common variables such as room size, layout, different receivers, cables, speaker placement, and your personal sound interpretation. For my testing, I used a Pioneer Elite receiver VSX-LX303. All speakers were connected via custom cut lengths of Audioquest X2 speaker wire. For playback, I used my Sony X800M2 4K bluray player; the player and my Sony A90J OLED TV were respectively connected to the receiver via two Audioquest Cinnamon 8-10K HDMI 5 FT cables (MODEL: HDM48CIN150). Additionally, I increased both front left and right channels slightly to +5.0db in the receiver settings. Lastly, I made sure distance was set to 6 ft and impedance was set properly to 4 ohms. For my tests, I listen to different genres of music and tested one movie. All music was encoded in FLAC and was ripped from my personal CD collection. Every song was scanned with a spectrogram and had its frequency analyzed to make sure they are proper lossless quality. Lastly, I was about 6 feet from the F10s during my observations. Upon firing up my classical and jazz collection, the F10s immediately impressed with electrifying clarity. Starting with Jazz, I fired up Dave Brubeck’s Take Five (44.1 KHZ / 16 Bit) and the results were pretty exciting. Snares and drums were nice a crisp. The double bass was perfectly reproduced, and the piano set right on top in between the saxophone. Additionally, the dynamics were superb as I did not have to increase the volume at all. Switching to classical, I swapped to Schumann’s String Quartet No 1 in A Minor by the Ying Quartet (192 KHz/24 Bit). As before, the instruments are clear and blend together seamlessly. I actually heard some sounds that I hadn’t before. Highs and middle frequencies were tight and clear and the cello on the low end was warm and inviting. It sounded as if the whole quartet was in my room. Switching genres, I swapped to rock by playing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and the results are just the same. The F10s do a really good job of reproducing vocals and each instrument as before. Guitars were punchy and weren’t overly compressed or muddy. Swapping to other genres such as dance or trance, highs were clear. Symbols or snare sounds were extremely prominent. As for bass response, given the size of the speaker, one should keep their expectations within reason. However, I was extremely surprised at how much bass these speakers were actually able to reproduce. The low end is definitely present and has a nice deep tone to it, yet it was still able to maintain clear highs and middle frequencies. Moreover, another thing I noticed was that the closer you are to the speaker the bass immediately improved and became much more emphasized. Additionally, while standing in between each speaker, the bass seemingly created an encompassing effect that allowed me to experience even more rumble. This was really quite stunning given they are only rated for 38 Hz. You can clearly hear this on Eminem’s Stan or Tech9’s He’s A Mental Giant. Both bass lines are punchy and provide excellent rumble. Thus, the smaller the space F10s are stored the more bass you will likely experience. Overall, the F10s perform exceptionally well and most should be pleased. Lastly, I eluded tested the 4K disc of the recently released Training Day (2001). As expected, dialogue was clear and crisp. Additionally, the F10s did a fabulous job on some of the notable bass sections, specifically during gun fight sequences. There was also some good rumble from the car engine at the beginning of the movie. All in all, the F10s perform as intended. In conclusion, the F10s are a
