Also remember this about book value... When I traded my car, the book value was 311k and trade 365k. That would be for the average car of that year (condition), base model (no extra's) and with 20k kms / year. My car was VERY sought after, IMMACULATE condition, lower kms, plus extras. So the...

While I know movie taste is wildly subjective, I have to say that Dune is one of my recent favorites. I enjoyed it more that No Time to Die and The Matrix Ressurected, by quite a margin, that said, when watched with big image and big sound and proper subs - the experience is dramatically...

Hi The difference for me is usually quite big. There's a CLEAR difference, it's easy to hear, not subtle. The more room treatment I added the smaller the difference, but still easily audible, and to my ears always significantly better. Try the following to solve the "misty" treble : 1...

Hi You should consider them as an option. Coming from Goldenear there are a few considerations that come to mind : Do you have a sub / subs? As Goldenears have bass drivers that make a sub "less essential". Though still more optimal, some could get away without a sub when using the Goldenears...

I also happen to like Goldenear's speakers  :thumbs:

Bit late here, but if you set the crossover lower, you will get more of "the sound that your speakers make" at the moment. At the moment they play all the regular sound they should, PLUS all the LFE (low frequency effects) sound that should only be played by a sub. Some movies have extreme LFE...

Thanks BiZKiT, I have to acknowledge you here. You were very helpful and approachable, quoted excellent prices and just very accommodating in general. If I wasn't in the Western Cape I would have come for a demo for sure. Anyone looking at M&K can contact BiZKiT without any doubt.

Hi, they are good for music, but while they are probably the best for the money for cinema, I feel they are not the best for the money for music. While good with music also and definitely enjoyable, they were acquired for cinema. They are 2 way and small, designed to roll off at 80Hz and to be...

I refer to this thread for background : https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,97888.0.html I've owned Mission, PSB, B&W, Klipsch and now M&K for cinema (95%) and music (5%). As my interest and financial capabilities grew I upgraded over the years. Most recently I had the B&W CM10 S2 system...

Well your conclusion was pretty much exactly the same as mine... The B&W lack just a bit of detail and clarity up top. The Klipsch is the brightest up top, without being harsh, but you have to like what the waveguide does with the sound. The M&K is, for me, just perfect. Very accurate and flat...

Hey I had those at one point, will watch the video now, but the soft dome tweeter on those just didn't have enough clarity for me to live with. The rest was VERY good. Will have a watch now to see what you thought...

Hi 1. I'm not aware of any phone app that will be accurate at sub frequencies. 2. At low frequencies you don't have to worry about that. The sub crawl will work just fine for one sub and one seat. Just play different bass notes, not just one, to make sure it sounds decent across a wider...

I feel like after this post : https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,98233.0.html, I have to also mention a very positive situation. (Disclaimer : I am in no way associated or sponsored by E-Piphany. I'm purely sharing my great experience hoping others will find the same positive experience...

Thanks, I will surely make a point of getting to this in the future. That's another valid concern you raise, the fact that these facilities are less known to the general public...

Hi Chris Thank you for your insights! You bring up a lot of valid points, things that we (the consumers) many times don't think about. I usually try to thank and praise rather than complain, so as said before, I'm coming from a place of constructive criticism. As you've said, there are well...
