“This was my first hands on experience with a MartinLogan subwoofer and the Dynamo 1500X left me with a good impression of their product line… the 1500X also never drew any attention to itself with bad noises or ever seemed to be in any trouble no matter what was sent to the input jack. The 1500X is absolutely rock solid in that sense. It does what it can without fuss and doesn’t kill itself attempting to reproduce what it cannot… a very compact, sealed offering and yet it still manages to meet the required output thresholds to receive the Audioholics Bassaholic Large Room rating. It is one of the smallest subwoofers to be able to do so.”

“Virtually everyone has heard the phrase “you can’t have your cake and eat it too”… With a subwoofer that saying generally holds true when talking about size versus depth/extension; a small subwoofer can’t possibly produce significant amounts of deep bass, can it? In the case of Martin Logan’s new Dynamo 1500X the answer would be Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too. The cabinet is not at all large — even for an acoustic suspension subwoofer with a 12″ driver, let alone one with a 15″ driver — yet the depth and composure it’s capable of is simply amazing… It’s not inexpensive, but it is certainly capable of some impressive bass. The ‘Dynamo’ name proved to be apt, that’s for sure. With the flattest frequency response I’ve measured in a long time, this Martin Logan subwoofer is one very impressive unit.”
