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...

Pretty much the perfect answer, what he said! I second the SVS entry level subs as the area you need to look at.

The short of how I understand it is that it has to do with speaker boundary interference. (SBIR) The further away you place the speaker from say the rear wall, the lower this frequency gets, the closer, the higher it gets. I you place it far enough away the frequency become so low that it's...

Hi Sorry I'm very late to some of these posts, still, maybe my reply can have some value. It's hard to find an acoustics expert locally. I educated myself as best I could. There are some principles that are well known and easy to research. You don't have to measure to do room treatment, by...

This is little on the expensive side, (but it's not snake oil pay for magic type expensive) it's just very good quality copper cable and the gauge you decide depending on the length. They can also ultrasonically "weld" gold plated banana plugs to your wire, there was a time when they were the...

If you have carpet, you can leave the ceiling reflective. Those tiles are very dense and thin, so they absorb only a small part of the frequency spectrum. I would advise against ceiling tiles. Rather good thick cut pile carpet and then depending on how alive / dead the room is you can leave...
