Gud day MA owners, just wanna hear your opinions & suggestions...
Currently I'm using Monitor Audio S2 x4 (front & rear), SLCR (center), SFX (which I'm not yet using)
I'm contemplating of upgrading my whole speaker system (5.1) to:
RX2, RX1, RXC, RXFX or RSFX (pag may budget na)
Do you think it's worth the upgrade ?
Considering the built & quality ... (Made in England vs ?)
Are the current silver models still using real-wood veneers ?
Coz it's the main reason why I chose MA speakers (ayoko kong makitang magtuklapan yung mga veneers nila in due time)
Need help & advice, thanks
I would suggest try to audition the RX model, but for me speaking of SQ, though refined na ang new models sa Silver series ng MA ay medyo bright ang RS/RX as compared to the original S series. You need to paired it with good electronics to make them really sing. Prestige wise, I will keep the S2, but if you have an extra currency to burn, then go for RX or better the GX model para isang bilihan na lang....I tell you, night and day ang difference ng SQ of GX especially kapag tube amplifier ang ginamit...heard the GX-100 with a Cayin A88T and damn...Thought it was a floorstanders ang tumutugtog (not a big fan of Cayin though). Very wide soundstage from a small package with excellent details as if the band is in front of you playing live, but then again, MA Gold & Silver needs a good electronics (something the caliber of Roksan, Exposure, Marantz or best with
Lavardin if you're into SS). BTW, and if you're planning to dispose your S2, basta walang scratch or dents....just let me know
Once I'm a proud owner of the MA S6 and GR-10 (originally Handcrafted in England) six years back, though I already achieved my audio orgasm este audio nirvana through a very drastic upgrades, I still want to have the original S1 or S2 for collection especially if it's in rosemah or santos rosewood finish. Goodluck
