Phenomenal sound, but huge. Definitely not a speaker that you can hide away, but sound stage is amazing. Unfortunately the design does not allow for use of banana plugs.

Excellent surround speaker. Can’t wait to buy another pair for my left and right surrounds. BTW, I am a big fan of B&W, but I have to admit that, after I replaced my B&W left and right back surrounds with ML FX2 ones, the difference was phenomenal in terms of details, and richness of the sound. I would definitely recommend ML FX 2 to anyone building a dedicated home theater.

Bought on an open box deal. Did not have mounting brackets but I placed them on speaker stands. They fit well on the stands. I have them connected to a marantz sr7013 and using for surrounds. Works and sounds awesome for surround. They can go low enough on hz that they provide bass for surrounds. Crystal clear sound hear every detail. Wish I could find two more so I can add a rear surround channel also.
