got to test the 10.2 yesterday and let me say, the search is over!
before i proceed, just would like to remind you that this is a very subjective review.
right out of the box, you can feel the fullness of the bass coming of course from the bigger woofer. hindi sya ngo2x kahit naka wall mount. trade offs are just like avshop mentioned, a drop off on the mids and highs. however, the i think the highs and lows are more balanced compared to the 10.1. take note the 10.1 may have improved after the break in but i didn't want to take the risk. 10.1's high were definitely a big improvement vs 9.1.
fyi, i'm using a harman kardon avr254 which amply supplied power to the speakers. i noticed though that i need crank the volume a bit higher for the 10.1.
obviously, the 10.2 matched well with my 10cm compared and i wouldn't recommend anymore the 10.1 and 10cm match.
i expect after the break in for the mids to be more revealing based on my experience with 9.1 so the best is yet to come. closest comparison i would say is the 9.5 with better highs. medyo malaki nga lang for wall mounted speakers. i don't know whether it's because of the configuration of my room but mas bagay ang tunog talag ng 10.2 sa akin. i can only imagine how good the 10.5 will be kasi may dedicated speaker for the mids.
that's it, pancit.
but don't take my word for it. audition for yourself to believe.
