Bought a pair of Motion XT B100 and could not be happier. They sound and look fantastic. By far the best I demoed and nicest I've ever owned. I had the opportunity to demo about 10 other speakers. I liked a many of the ones I demoed but kept coming back to the B100. It set the bar. Once I had a chance to demo the B100 I kept comparing everything else to it and to my ears it was the favorite every time. I loved how clear the highs were and also appreciated how full the rest of the sound felt to me. I read/watched some reviews but mostly guided myself by listening comparison. I love the way they look and sound. I got the black. I was partial to the walnut as I think the copper highlights around the woofer are really striking but in the end went more traditional with black. All the stock images of the black don't do it justice in my opinion. They look like the woofer ring is silver but it's not at all. It's almost gunmetal or titanium looking and is much more subtle than in the stock photos. Looks fantastic. I may add the C100 later but for now am enjoying listening in stereo.
