Have you heard these speakers? Is it good at both audio and movies. I hope you guys have a review on this.... I'll demo it at architectural audio since its already available there... I look it up at the net at mukhang ok sya.... Hearing it will be the better judgement though...
-
I have seen the specs of this Speaker and it's quite impressive.
The B2 Model has 42Hz low frequency response.
WOW!
The best thing though is to audition para ma-test kung totoo nga ang specs.
Please comment on this:
B2 has 42Hz low frequency response.
IMO, iba pa din kapag you hear frequency of 80Hz and lower sa sub kaysa i-feed iyon sa Front.
Sa sub, my energy, my kick. Sa front, no depth.
I'll see if B2 really can handle 42Hz frequncy. I-audtion ko yan. Wala pa ko Front eh.
I'm Considering:
Monitor Audio
Mordaunt Short
Infinity
Polk
Mission.
Peace bro.

Guys,
I heard the monitor audio bronze series (b4) sa spectra last nyt. It was connected to hk 5500, wala pang break-in yun since dumating yesterday.
Jim tested some audio, and I was impressed by the realism of music. It sounded really warm (akala mo katabi mo yung kumakanta), asked for the price and I was surprised kasi medyo kapresyo nya yung mission...
It got me thinking of replacing my m70 series.... ::)
Di pa maalis ang tunog sa isip ko hanggang ngayon...
-
Monito Audio are great sounding speakers. I've auditioned the bronze and silver series nung naghahanap ako ng speakers for my HT. Yung silver are really great.
-

Checked these babies out today. Monitor audio driven by a TS Audio tube amp on low end speaker wires and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. I listened to a wide range of media including techno (ouch, who threw that shoe?) and the versatility was top notch.
The system is set up now in arch audio in New World and I highly endorse going there for the sheer pleasure of sharing your passions with people who know the business.
-
I went to archi audio last friday, auditioned it there and was truly impressed with the music.....
Nico even told me that it has not even reach its break-in period yet. The sound was really smooth and warm....
I can't get it off my mind, mukhang gusto ko na mag-upgrade bago pa makabili ng sub ah....
ang galing ng tunog and the price is really quite affordable...
I'm also going to recommend this to my friends.... Or ibenta ko speakers ko, tapos ako bibili ng monitor audio... ;D
-
james16: interesting nga yung monitor audio. if you do a search on the net, puro positive feedback, both mag reviews and user feedback. overachiever daw when it comes to performance.
wolf: nakikita ko na monitor audio before sa sing, pero indi ko pinapansin. medyo spartan (actually i found it downright ugly at first) kasi yung looks, hehehe.
-
v0elker,
yung lumang Bronze series nila pangit nga pero yung mga bago (posted sa taas ni julsp168) ay ok na ang itsura.
hindi pa rin sila tatalo sa Kef Q1 ko, hehehe. gustong gusto ko ang sound nito at design. kelangan pang mag-ipon para mabili ko yung Q7 (floorstanders).
-
Wolf: Sent u pm!
-
monitor audio can be heard on demo on architectural audio in new world, and spectra in makati
-
b2 sounds really good, alive ang vocals with deep sustained lows. heard the demo from spectra this afternoon.
-
guys,
ganda talaga ng monitor audio, di ko talaga matanggal sa isip ko yung tunog nun, kulang lang sa budget pero gusto ko agad ng upgrade...
-
d best talaga! side by side with mission m73, and i'm really impressed with the performance. di nga lang pogi ang features compare to mission. parang c Tim Duncan, ala sa itsurang magaling pero super sa peformance hehehe
-
talagang napahanga ako ng B2 ibang-iba talaga yung tunog n'ya sa M73, gaya nga ng sabi ni haribon side by side testing using H/K receiver... mapapa-WOW! ka talaga... :)
pukx 8)
-
yup! the b2s indeed sounded great with hk. buti na lang wala na akong pera... ;D
-
maibenta ko lang speakers ko..... m72i at bibili na ko ng b2 na yan..... Inip na inip na ako!
-
very interesting..but does it really need a powerfull amp? anybody here heard it w/ a AVR2550 or 3550?
at that price range..anong katapat nya? mission and b&w? . is it really ugly???..saw it in the pic..d naman.............masyado :)
it looks simple..simplicity is always good naman dba.
Peace 8)
-
AVDude,
I heard it already connected to a hk receiver and the matching is smooth and warm.....
its price range maybe against mission, polk, kef, b&w, infinity....
I have a gut feel that it will definitely sound good with my hk 3550.
-
talagang napahanga ako ng B2 ibang-iba talaga yung tunog n'ya sa M73, gaya nga ng sabi ni haribon side by side testing using H/K receiver... mapapa-WOW! ka talaga... :)
pukx, bro ano difference nila? balak ko kasi mag-upgrade, nasa shortlist ko both yan b2 at m73.
-
good praises for b2-HK combo :) di ba ang HK high current amp? in that case, how well can it perform with other receivers?
-

I haven't auditioned these speakers, but i heard and read that they are really that good. Yung B1 comparable daw sa B&W 601, yung B2 sa Mission 780 naman. I intend to audition them this week with my Rotel 971MK2, for music. I will inform you of the results.
-
sir, sama nyo na yung B4 floorstanding and S2 bookshelf models hehehe. gusto ko rin audition kaso too busy with uat, sigh

I had the opportunity to test these speakers yesterday, although, unscheduled. First, at Architectural Audio, B1 na lang ang natira, yung mga B2 ubos na. Mabili daw. Any maganda ang tunog, with an HK integrated amp., at mas lalong gumanda ng ang ginamit ay ang TS Audio Tube amp. Parang mas malambing. Bagohan pa lang ako sa audio at HT kaya hindi ko gaanong ma-idescribe. Basta alam ko maganda.
Pumunta rin ako sa Spectra. Doon ko narinig yung B2, halos pareho lang, may mas-bass nga lang. NAD integrated amp naman ang gamit. Magugulat ka sa bass, parang floor standing. Hindi ko na na-test yung B4 at center, wala na akong time. Sunod na punta ko doon test ko rin vs. mission speakers, dalhin ko rin yung Rotel 971 mk 2 ko.
Both stores recommended it. Even vs. some mission and B& speakers. ang SRP nila same with the stated by fellow pinoy dvd member.
-
rpm, balitaan mo kami pag nakabalik ka na. interested din ako sa b2 and b4. compared sa ibang speakers, mabigat ang monitor audio. b&w 601 (6.1kg) vs. b2 (13.5kg)! halos kasing bigat na siya ng floorstander ng mission at mordaunt short (14.5kg & 14kg respectively). syempre sa huli tunog pa rin ang mas importante. siguro madaming bracing ang cabinet, o mabigat ang magnet ng drivers.
-
for anyone who have bought these speakers,
pls give your reviews and comments so we may use it should we need to upgrade our speakers.
thanks.... ;D
-
sirs, meron pa kayang available na finish bukod sa black and beech? meron na ba dito nung "rosemah" finish? eto yung mahogany with rosewood stain.
-
We have the S2 in rosemah ;D.
Please feel free to listen to the B2s, S2s and GR10s in the store. It is currently hooked up to a tube integrated amp (TS Audio 34.1). Other amps/receviers are also available.
Cheers.
-
hi,
how much are the s2 (in rosemah). baka mas bagay kasi sa furniture as compared sa black / beech.
btw, am the one who called you up yesterday, asking for a quotation over the email.
thanks!
-
Sirs,
My apology. What we have in the store is black and not rosmah. If you are really interested in this, we can probably order them.
Again, my apology.
Cheers.
-
archi,
jake here... at last napatugtog ko na yung B2's ko...my friend sold me his 2550. mura lang...upgrade daw sya sa 6.1... can't wait to get the center and the B1's... thanks to you and nico!!!
AYOS!!!!
-
Heard the B2 and B1 and also the Gold series ganda iba sound compare to my mission iba characteristic.. its a must hear before buying other speakers... btw connected with TS audio tube amp and Harman 2550 AVR..
Theme song... Bakit ngayon ka lang... ;D ;D
-
No Problem Jake. Now its time to enjoy the music and movies!! ;D ;D ;D
Hans, thank you for stopping by.
Regards.
-
pa PM naman yung best price n'yo for B1 & B2.....thanks.
-
Kwela,
Sir kindly share some info on the performance of HK and B2 combo... Music and HT
Thanks
-
I also have a HK (AVR 1550), but not the B2 (not yet). Sana hindi sila (outlets) maubusan ng B2 stocks, so I can buy before the week-end. Anyway, just in case maubusan ng stocks ng B2, may I ask Architectural Audio and Audio World, how long it will take for the new orders to arrive.
-
Kwela,
Sir kindly share some info on the performance of HK and B2 combo... Music and HT
Thanks
Hans,
I only have the HK2550 and B2 combo...la pang center and surrounds. Pero just the other day, i went to my friend's house and listened to his HK3550 and M73 floorstanders combo...mas malinaw and mas malakas yung 2550-B2 combo ko considering floorstanders yung sa kanya, mas mataas ng konti yung wattage/channel ng 3550, enclosed pa yung room nya... well, better if you listen to it yourself...punta ka architectural audio...look for nico and epoy...those guys are very accomodating... well, good luck...
-
Just got my B1 (courtesy of my brother), paired it with Rotel RA 971Mk2. Ganda ng tunog, mas detalyado, compared with my old Wharfedale vivendi. Before that I also had the chance to compare it with Mission M73i, mas maganda pa yung bass ng B2, mas mabilis, forward. To think na floor standing ang M73i. I have not tested it with my HK 1550. Mas gaganda pa siguro pag-na break-in. Sana maka-ipon uli to buy the B4 for HT.
-
I can't wait to have get the b2 for my hk avr125!!!!
-
kelan pa kaya ako makakatikim ng monitor audio na speakers.. anyways kontento naman ako sa aaudio bookshelves ko.. :D
-
sarap talaga makinig sa HK-B2 combo!!!
-
Excited na nga ako umuwi eh... di na ako nakakagimik...kse wala na ako pera dahil binili ko nga ng B2-Harman combo...pero sulit...relax lang sa bahay...good shot pa sa asawa kasi di lumalabas...
;D ;) :D
-
mga B2 owners.. mas maganda ba talaga yung B2 compared sa m73i? and pwede bang ipatong muna yun sa ibabaw nung tv rack in case wala pa kong pambili nung speakers stand.. magkano nga pala yung stand na pinakamura and maganda naman.. thanks
-

seb di naman gaano nagkakalayo ang performance nong dalawa depende na lang sa pandinig mo sa space cguro kung maluwag mag m73i ka at kung limited space sa B2 ka na lang ;) ;)

to hear is to believe! also consider the impedance matching with your receiver before you decide.............. ;D

B2 can handle by HK3550 base on spec it can give 125watts, IHF power in 4ohms in stereo mode kaya walang hassle

Thank to Nico and Epoy! Nice meeting Jake (Kwela) also. :)

-
sebman,

-
I only have the B1, maganda talaga HK(AVR 1550)-B1 combi. Pero sa akin mas maganda with Rotel 971 MK2 int. amp. Siguro dahil dedicated sa audio ang yung rotel. Hindi pa fully na break-in yung B1. Although, sa akin ay mas maganda yung B2 compared with M73i (auditioned it at Spectra), lalabas na mas mahal ang B2 kasi kailangan mo pa ng stands to fully optimize listening pleasure.

oo nga sir.. B2+lovan stand.. yun na pinaka-murang stand is 14T na agad.. :-[
-
B2+Stand=14k? That means the stand is only P1k-P1.7k? Saan meron nitong stand? Sorry medyo OT na.
Going back though, I'm still in my maybe 20th hr of use on the B2. By no means broken in. The resolution and openness continues to improve as I use them.
Out of the box, initial impresions were that they were slightly harsh on the highs and a bit thin sounding. Admittedly, i did not expect much given the price.
Well, i continue to be pleasently surprised as they loosen up and age a bit. Bi-wired them and the separation and clarity on the mids and highs improved while maintianing coherence with the lows.

presars,
with respect to the Wharf owners, bakit kaya maraming nagbebenta ng mga wharf diamond series nila? Upgrade?
well, if u are really on a budget and you think na ok na sa pantunog mo yung Diamonds, then go for it...
kanya-kanyang preference yan...
basta pag nakabuo ka na, sana wag ka nang dumayo at makinig sa ibang set-up...baka ma-realize mo na may mas maganda pa. unless ready ka pang gumastos...hehehe...ganun talaga... ;)
but if ur thinking of long-time investment, go for a notch higher of entry-level equipments...yung kaya pa rin ng budget...
just my 2 cents... 8)
-
Jake,
Well, knowing myself... definitly i'll upgrade if i have the moolah. ;D
Kamusta B2 mo? Kuntento ka na ba sa 2ch muna?

my b2's? eto lang masasabi ko... ;D.
syempre di pa ako kuntento...but m enjoying 2-channel listening right now...
B2 is the first step...if i were u, mas ok dito ka na magsimula...hard to spend ur money na pagtagal ibebenta mo din agad...u know what i mean...
but then again malupit ang SARS talaga dito sa pinoydvd.

there's a way to prevent SARS.....stay away from this site! hehehe ;D

Would you know if the recommended stand height for the B2 is 24" or 29"? I'm using a 29" from my old stand mounts and the tweeters seem a bit higher than my ears. Pag 24" naman below. :-X

kung pupunta sa pinoydvd site...
dun lang sa dvd marketplace o dvd reviews...
patingin-tingin sa audio section para sa discussion....
pero bawal mag-audition....
feeling ko yung audition ang nagtri-trigger ng upgrade itch... kasi kung di mo pa napapakinggan, kahit anong sabihin ng iba na maganda yung isang product di mo pa rin bibilhin! ;D

well to put it fairly the klipsch floorstanders you heard at spectra are the reference series already. and their sensitivity is greater than 98 dB...you don't need a high powered receiver. I would settle for the S2 rather than the S1 though :)

npakinggan ko rin yong klipsch last monday before i get my bronze B2 series ang ganda nang sound pero one thing lang naobserbahan ko kapag malapit ka sa speaker ay medyo hindi clarity ang tunog pero kung malayo ka sa speaker ay don mo mapapakinggan yong ganda at clarity nang sound nya at yon din ang nasabi ni JIM tsaka sobrang mahal center speaker pa lang nya ay cost of 42k :o :o:o nakakalula
-
wow how big is the difference between the silver and bronze bookshelves ?
but little difference in terms of sound try to audition hehehe kaya bronze pa rin.......mas mura pa

anyone compared the b2 with the s2? heard the s2 at spectra powered by a rotel multichannel amp and a nad dvd player but it sounds darn good especially in female vocals.

mas maganda talaga sir yung S2.. kaya lang ka-presyo na sir sya yung B4 na floorstander.. :)
-
Narinig ko rin yang S2 sa spectra nung minsan may nakasabay ako na nagpa-audition dun. Sarap pakinggan, parang ayaw ko nang umalis eh...kaso hanggang dinig na lang...di ko kaya presyo.

kung talagang gusto pag iipunan kung ayaw may dahilan
-
since i'm saving up might as well wait for the ref. ser. of klipsch bookshelves to come out so I can compare with the s2 :)
-
I've tried both the silver and bronze. The silver adds another level of refinement and balance from the Bronze but basically carry the same sonic character with the deep lows, neutral mids. High's are not so splashy in the Silver.
However, as S2 is more than double the price, i guarantee you that you will not get double the performance. Returns diminish greatly when moving to the silver series.
-
i agree!!! 8)
heard both also...thanks ganjaman! ;D

I agree din...mas pogi nga lang talaga looks nung silver. but with the price of the bronze and its specs and their sound...PANALO!!!!

try archi audio and spectra...meron pa yata 1-pair each...thanks! 8)
-
wala na sa spectra e. well in regards to the price difference, I don't expect double the performance..sadly its not like that in audio...however...the S2 has a very smooth top end, not really concerned with the bass since I can always add a sub :) if the B2 provides that same smooth top end then the B2 will be a consideration for me.

hi superman,
nice meeting you at AA, anyway bibilin mo na ba yung b2?
nag-iipon pa ako para sa b2 at alam ko na rin na pahirapan na maghanap nitong model na ito. i'm quite sure na happy yung mga guys na nakabili nito.
i also hope na marami pang mga stocks na darating at wag sana tumaas ang presyo. It's prices kasi is very competitive and you really maximize what you pay for. Elegant sound ang monitor audio.
john5479, tama ka b1 yung naka-display dun.

Here are my initial impressions fro the following monitor audio speakers: Gold reference 10, Silver 1, haven't heard a b2 yet. I compared these two bookshelves with a mission 780. amplification used was a nadc370 and the source was a harman kardon hdcd player. Tracks used were; Bali run (fourplay), and tracks from snow rose and norah jones. Place is at spectra (went there early and jim was happy to entertain me :))
Gr10: great for female vocals with few instruments (snow roses rendition of especially for you as an example) very smooth :)
However when we played Tracks from fourplay like Bali Run, it showed the bright characteristic of these speakers, cymbals and the metallic instruments tend to be accentuated.... you have to be quite a few feet away if you want to listen to them, listening too near and the intsruments tend to "shout" at you.: price of these babies: ~70K
S1: same performance on vocals but less bright on instrumentals, smooth top end :): price ~ 23k
Mission780: This is where I was surprised, these babies were smooth, whatever you played on it, must be the silk dome tweeters.Bass wise it was on par with the S1. Price of these: lesser than the S1
Please take note these are initial impressions, but as you can see its a tossup between the S1 and 780 for me. The GR10 was a disappointment :( probably will improve with some breakin though. The S1 is just smooth compared to the GR10, even though they have the same tweeters so maybe I just auditioned an unbroken in GR10 but for the price diff. I'll just go for the S1. The 780's are pretty nice as well and cheaper ;) just my 2 cents
-
Sir John,
I agree sir on your observation.. I also audition Monitor Audito B4 and mission speaker..
-
Hans,
What's the difference in SQ with B2 & B4... given that B4 should have a better LF because of its woofer.
Sir John,
I agree sir on your observation.. I also audition Monitor Audito B4 and mission speaker..
-
Para sa mga bibili ng Monitor Audio Speakers...Narinig ko lang naman from a very reliable source na tataas na daw definitely yung prices ng mga speakers na toh...Baka yung mga susunod na shipment tumaas na...FYI lang po...Bili na!!!
p.s. : m not a distributor or retailer of these speakers. just an owner of these great sounding affordable ones. anyway, congrats sa mga nakabili na and good luck sa mga bibili pa...
-
Presars,
Haven't try them side by side but B2 I think more musical than B4. good for small to medium room while B4 excel in large room or if you like music with lots of bass..
-
walang bibili ng S1! hehehe...pag tumaas yan I might just settle for the mission780...kaya lang 87dB sensitivity sya...mahihirapan sa tube amp *sigh* choices
-
dati ang choices ko lang na speakers ay ang parehong seksing-seksi na mission 780 at b&w 601. pero ngayon ang dami nang choices at mas mura pa. sana wag masyado tumaas ang price ng monitor audio bronze series (especially B2) dahil ang pinaka selling point nito ay ang price/performance. syempre kung di masyado seksi, idaan sa lambing at husay.
-
haven't heard a b2 yet...if it can match the smooth midrange of the s1 then unahan na...if not..ipon pa rin for the s1 ;D
-
Jake,
Nako... kung tataas ang presyo ng Monitor baka marami magdalawang isip at mag Mission.

bro,
have you actually tried using an 87db speaker with the tube amp??? i think it still depends on the speakers...kasi i've used a KEF refererence 102/2 (88db)with a tube amp...di naman nahirapan...but of course, better if higher sensitivity...i've read that for every 3db, it is twice as loud (tama nga ba?)...just my two cents...thanks! 8)
-
i guess the kef you tried has a stable impedance even though the sensitivity isn't high, that helps a lot :) I'm not sure bout the 780 if its stable as well.
have you tried playing dynamic tracks? Usually for vocals di mo mapapansin kung nahihirapan but when you play more dynamic tracks thats when you'll see if nahihirapan yung amp.
speakin of which the S1 is 6 ohms 91 dB which means it might not be that sensitive enough as well. I guess the best thing is to bring the tube amp and test it there then. :-\

just read the specs of the KEF reference...sensitivity is 107db at 6-ohms and 88db at 8-ohms...yes, bro...i've tried dynamic tracks...even tried 70s disco music (ask iceman90a)...it rocks...and bass is not slow...thanks! 8
-
cool then :)
-
but i'm still considering the S2...although i have yet to audition it...by the way, here's the picture of the KEF reference 102/2...thanks bro!
(http://www.kef.com/kefimages/image124.gif)
-
S2 is more "bassy" compared to S1 mas maganda pa rin midrange ng S1 but the amp used for the audition was a nadc370, haven't tried with tube amps yet.

Dude sa sobrang pagkamesmerize mo sa S2 nabaligtad mo ha...di ba its the amp that drives the speakers? hehehe ;D jk lang po

just had a home audition last night (thanks to sonny tuazon), here are the equipment used:
Monitor Audio Silver S2 (out of the box)
Souped-Up 2A3 SET Tube Amplifier
Eichmann Express 4 Interconnects w/ Bullet Plugs
Eichmann Express 2 Speaker Cables (banana terminated)
CDs used:
Ultimate Test Disk (Chesky)
Rebecca Pidgeon - Spanish Harlem
Incognito - Beneath the Surface
Paolo Santos - Play, Overjoyed
David Benoit - Key to You, Mountain Dance
XLO Burn-In CD
Livingston Taylor - Bluer than Blue
David Foster - Christmas Album
King's Singers - Obladi-Oblada, Yesterday
Alison Krauss - Baby, Now that I've Found You
my initial impression...WOW! :o...really never thought that the S2 can SING using a 2.5-watts SET amplifier - and with ease...no strain...slept at 3:00am na...todo ngiti ako pagtulog ko... ;D
i'm at peace...more audition to go to really see if this is the perfect match for me...
tonight, i'm gonna use QED silver speaker cables (thanks to hyperaudio)...hope it's gonna be better...
thanks! 8)
hi!
let me continue to share my 1st impressions about the monitor audio silver s2 bookshelf speakers...
the following equipment were used:
Monitor Audio Silver S2 (used for about 5-hours out of the box)
Souped-Up 2A3 SET Tube Amplifier (w/ 5U4G, 6SL7 - Black Beauty, Thanks to ArnoldC)
Musical Fidelity Elektra E-624 CD Player
Eichmann Express 4 Interconnects w/ Bullet Plugs
Eichmann Express 2 Speaker Cables (banana terminated) - used during 1st 30-minutes
QED Silver Anniversary Speaker Cables (thanks to Hyperaudio) - used for next 30-minutes
Analysis Plus Oval 12 - used for 15 minutes (again, Thanks to ArnoldC)
well, 2 straight days na puyat...what can i say...i'd like to validate what i've written here previously...these speakers are worth more than their price (ooooppppsss, wag na taasan ang presyo)...sonny is right, it has certain characteristics of the B&W 800 series (i listened to sonny's 800 series using his VAC amplifier)...the highs are not painful to the ears, and very forgiving for a poorly recorded CD...the bass has a bite...not too punchy...but fast (especially when i played incognito CDs)...on the mellow side, i played susan wong's close to you...susan wong's saliva really pops right after she opens her mouth...hanep sa detail...i tried playing chuck mangione's feel so good...suddenly, the speakers disappeared...wow! bass is exact...especially the fast portion...then i played lou rawls' lady love...very detailed instruments...the monitor audio silver S2 indeed matched my 2A3 SET amp (thanks arnoldc!)...
some tracks, CDs i used:
1) rebecca pidgeon - kalerka
2) chuck mangione - feel so good
3) incognito - midnight at the oasis
4) nyoy volante - kahit ika'y panaginip lang
5) susan wong - close to you
6) david benoit - kei's song
7) artstart - misty glass window
8] janno gibbs - i believe in dreams
9) joe lovano (sinatra album)
10) norah jones - nearness of you
11) best audiophile voices
12) Parliament Syndicate
13) josh groban - broken vow
14) lara fabian - broken vow
15) sarah brightman - time to say goodbye
well, tonight's gonna be "sleepless in alabang" for me...wala na namang tulugan (siguradong matutuwa si kuya germs!)...i'm really excited to fully "burn-in" the amp and the speakers...i'll try to borrow some heavy metal stuff...i hope hindi ma-bading ang boses ng metallica and also ni axl rose, hehehehehe... ;D
by the way guys...the XLO burn-In CD helps in "facilitating" the break-in of your system...should you have an opportunity to purchase it...grab it! (thanks again, arnoldc, idol!)
okay...uwi na ko...will listen magdamagan, hahahahaha! 8)
thanks for reading, guys! 8)
by the way, i love what i heard when i used the QED and the Analysis Plus...the hard part is choosing which is which...huhuhuhuhu! :-[ :-[ :-[

the specs of the S2 says its nominal impedance is 8 ohms and its sens. is 89 dB, if it means that the 2a3 can drive the so then it means di masyadong nagdidip impedance nito... ;D

adrian,
i think that's the old s2...with the new s2 series, impedance is 6-8ohms and 91db sensitivity...but you are correct, impedance is quite stable...thanks! 8)

I also got the opportunity to audition the B4. Because of j_albert22's advice, I went to Spectra yesterday. I met Jim and he was very accomodating enough to let me audition the B4's even they were in the display and not hooked up to any amp/recvr.
Warning: I may not be able to decribe it as audiophiles can, so bear with me.
First, it was hooked up with a NAD amp (don't know model). Even if I'm new to this hobby, I can say that they really sounded very very good. We used a compilation of female jazz vocals. The details were clear, enough bass that I thought a sub was hooked up also. The highs are not harsh, clear vocals. We finished a few tracks. In my mind I'm convinced, this sounds better than the missions, which were my first choice for my upgrade. I'm really convinced but, I have to really be sure, so I requested to have the Marantz hooked up, because it's the recvr I use. So Jim hooked it up and adjusted speaker settings to 0db, so no "daya" sabi nya. I also requested the M73i's hooked up.
I also asked to have some rock track played since this music genre is what i'm familiar with. Every end of the track, Jim changed speakers from M73i to B4, and vise-versa. We did this using rock, disco and jazz tracks.
And my verdict, I prefer the B4 over the M73i. I really noticed the difference;even when the songs are just at the intro I can already tell the difference. The B4's are very lively but not harsh, more natural sounding. Listening to the rock track, the B4 sounded more pleasing to the ears. As you know rock is kind of noisy and loud. With the M73i, the sound was more "noisy" and I became conscious that the other customers might be bothered because we were really playing it loud at -8 to -10db.
We spent about more than an hour. And I decided and bought the B2 only, because the B4 is not within budget. 6Hz difference in the lower freq maybe insignificant, my room is small anyway, so it should be enough.
Sorry guys if I haven't made a better description, just listen to it yourselves. We may not have the same impression. Just sharing. :)
I'm picking it up today.
Thank you to Jim of Spectra.
And to j_albert22 that if I have not meet I might not have known about Monitor Audio.

John,
Push pull or solid state you'll have a very good match with silver pre.. balitaan mo kami.. was about to buy silver 2 kaso grabe off budget agad ako pre..
-
hans, malapit na, just contemplating on the amp to use, baka push pull na lang gamitin ko if tubes or might go solid state..depende...pero yung preamp ko definitely tubed :)
pare,
i've tried the silver s2 with a push pull (TS audio), 2A3 (my amp) and 300B (TS audio)...even with the marantz receiver...results were SUPERB!...pero i really like how it matches with my 2A3 amp...very detailed...forgiving on highs (especially on poorly recorded CDs)...bass is not boomy but has the punch...midbass is already very good...and very, very good with vocals...bro, if you would like to join us this saturday, we have another listening session at my place...geko might bring his klipsch rb-3, iceman90a might bring his solid state integrated amp plus his dynaudio audience speakers...should you decide to join us, let me know so i could PM you the details...bring also your reference CDs...bring your own baon as well, hehehehehehe! 8)
i'll try to borrow a digicam so i could post here the picture of my set-up (ay mali, ibang thread na pala dapat)...over-all...worth it, pare! i should have bought a monitor audio s2 a long, long time ago...pero siyempre, we can only know the sonic differences, the advantages and disadvantages thru EXPERIENCE by trying out different speakers and amps...
thanks and let us know if you'll join...we'll start at 8:30pm...the last time, we ended around 12:30am...baka this time it's gonna be longer...
thanks! 8)
-
would love to join but my work starts at night, don't sweat it at least you now know how to decide the speaker for you based on experience, btw i heard the Q1 already and it sounds real good on vocals...ibang klase clear na clear, pero medyo hirap pag rock music, unlike the S2, but we used a rotel amp for the Q1. mahal din pala ng subs ng monitor audio..~60k

sayang...oo nga pala shifting yung work mo...di bale pag may morning listening session invite ka namin...the advantage of the KEF kasi is the uni-Q driver which is really excellent in vocals (that's KEF's reputation, although i'm not sure if the Q1 also uses uni-Q drivers)...i've had a KEF reference series...talagang ibang klase sa vocals...but the bass ok naman na-break-in na yung speakers...monitor audio kasi is balanced even if it's not broken in yet...wait till it's fully broken in...
thanks bro!
btw, medyo mahal nga yung sub ng monitor audio...with the price, i'd choose a REL instead 8)
-
the Q1 also uses uniQ drivers, kaya mganda sa vocals, oo nga mas mura yung rel strata....mga 55+k lang naman hehehe!

how would they sound with a nad amp ? i'm thinking of getting the b2s. ;D

hi [L]es!
personally, i haven't had any experience "pairing" the monitor audio S2 or any other monitor audio speakers with a NAD amp...but i'm very confident that the MA's will "sing" with the NAD considering that i've used a NAD amplifier before and i've used several speakers paired with it also...i think what's important is that you really hear the combo...here's my suggestion, since SPECTRA carries both the NAD and MA, why don't you ask jim to set it up for you...i remember when i visited him about a month ago, he was very proud in telling me that he has tried both the S1 and B1 with a NAD amp and he was amazed with the results...what more if you're going to use a B2 or an S2...anyway, if you want to hear naman an MA and tube combo, you can go to ARCHITECTURAL AUDIO...i'm sure nico and epoy will hook it up either with the TS Audio 34.1 or the TS Audio 300B...at least you'll also hear the difference between a push-pull and a SET...or better yet, let me know when you're free to visit me...i'd be more than willing to let you listen to my set-up...thanks!...enjoy the moment...happy hunting! ;D
-
hey, i've had almost 12 listening hours already...noticeable improvement with my S2...can't wait for the 100th hour...yahoo! 8)

Monitor fanatics,
Meron na raw stock of B2, B1 and center sa store..

mga sir,
tanong lang... would you prefer monitor ronze speakers with HK(2550) or with denon(1803,2803)?
Any comments?
Thanks.
-
mga sir,
tanong lang... would you prefer monitor bronze speakers with HK(2550) or with denon(1803,2803)?
Any comments?
Thanks.
bro...i strongly suggest you audition both...denon/MA combo and HK/MA combo available at ARCHITECTURAL AUDIO...try also at spectra...bottomline is: you have to let your ears decide (as hans adriane mentioned)...it may be good for us but not appealing for you...example...many audiophiles would love the "lambing" and the "soundstage" of a 300B SET tube amplifier...but for me, i like the detail and the punch of the 2A3 SET tube amplifier...it depends really on your taste...just my two cents...
...although, many would "testifiy" that the HK/MA combo really matches...better try it out...again, my two cents...thanks! 8)

i go for HK/MA combi coz yon ang current set up ko ;D ;D i'm very satified :D :D

Denon/ MA ok din siguro di naman mahirap i drive monitor b2 eh..

i've already heard the monitor audio speakers paired with NAD receivers/amplifiers...sounds great! ;D 8)

I'm already breaking in my B2s since Saturday, Sep 27. Just breaking them in by normal listening. My speaker level settings are now just at 4db using marantz 4300, which previously, with my dtx speakers, it is set at 10db to have the most satisfactory level.
The mids and highs are already very good to me. I've played all types of music cds that I have (rock, jazz, pop, techno, tunog kalye) and I've noticed that I'm hearing details that I have not heard before comparing it with just the sony mini-compo that I have. But it seems I'm enjoying jazz now, more than I did before, since I listen mostly to alternative rock. It's like these speakers were designed for jazz music. Even if I'm not really a jazz fan I'm kind of starting to like it. But the B2 makes all my music choices sound better. That's why I'm revisiting all my old cds. And I'm realizing now that I'm more into music than movies. These B2s really make the difference in how I enjoy listening to music right now.
My wife thinks I'm going crazy when I'm smiling alone while I'm listening to music.
The bass seems lacking though. Maybe because it's not fully broken in yet. I almost doubted it when I tested it again when I picked it up last friday, Sep26. So I have to make sure by comparing it again with a broken in M73i. And the B2 sounded better again, with better bass for my taste. I hope it will reach the 42hz after breaking it in, because a stand alone pair of speaker is really what I want for music listening. Just want to use the sub for movies.
To owners of B2s, do you think it can really reach 42hz after fully broken in? What cable do you use to maximize the its performance? I'm just using cables from Ace hardware labelled as studio grade cables.
Right now I'm enjoying it, anticipating the improvement in sound quality as I use it daily since i got them. I wake up at 6am and listen to it until 8am, so i'm always late. Then when I take my lunch, again I listen, because I eat lunch at home. Then after 5, I listen again until 12am.
What specific music albums and dvds can you recommend so that I will fully appreciate the sound quality of the b2?
-
uuy....jvm....ok yan.....i have also a marantz sr4300 too......and im really thinking of getting a pair of B2....(ipon pa ???)....bose accoustimass kasi yung speakers now....supot sa bass ...and medyo harsh yung mid....pero clean yung highs..... ;D...ok tlaga yang setup mo.......enjoy!!!!
-
peeps,
magkano ngayon ang b2? are they in the same league as missions m72i? b&w 601? how would they compare? havent auditioned monitor audio yet.

sir... audition to appreciate... try spectra they sell missions,monitor and wharfedale.. audition all the speakers and let your ears decide.. :)
-
hehe, trouble is am not from manila reason y am asking for opinions. am familiar with the sound of missions and b&w kasi so id just like to know how they fare with monitor audio. am almost decided on missions for my speakers but i just want to consider other options.

allot atleast an hour or 2..to listen to a monitor audio speakers before you buy your missions.. you will satisfy your curiosity of monitor audio speakers and you wont be thinking of what-if's scenarios.. once you have auditioned and decided whats the best speakers for you.. ;D
-
been reading the previous posts of this thread and it seems that ill have to add MA to my list. no wonder hans wanted to sell his m73is before, hehe. by the way, has anyone tested it with a yamaha receiver?
-
hehe, trouble is am not from manila reason y am asking for opinions. am familiar with the sound of missions and b&w kasi so id just like to know how they fare with monitor audio. am almost decided on missions for my speakers but i just want to consider other options.
Cousin Skeeter,
I just want to share my experience. Before I bought the MA, I compared it with M73i because it's what I also have in mind for my upgrade. I preferred the sound of the MA compared with the M73. The MA sounded more alive, it has a smoother sound, more natural. I even compared the B2s, just out of the box, to the M73i which are more broken in, but the B2s sounded better even just fresh from the box.
But this is just my honest opinion and based only on my own ears. It's really hard to decribe quality of sound as this is really subjective.
If you have the chance, try it to find out if what you read about MAs are conforming with your own standards.
-
jvm,
thanks bro! good thing i havent bought my missions yet. ive hans to thank since he decided not to sell his m73is, which i almost got, hehe. i might be down with the SARS now if i did. ur post describing the MAs was the one that really got my attention. nice review! ive also read reviews of the B2 on audioreview.com and i can hardly find a review that had something bad to say bout them. they say its great for small spaces which is perfect for me coz ill be using it in my small bedroom, which in contrast the m73is need larger spaces for you to appreciate their sound.
anyway, i called up archi audio and they informed me that the speakers are selling like hotcakes. am targeting the middle or end of the month to get em B2s, hope theyll have them in stock again by that time, and hope the prices stay the same :(. used to enjoy bright music but now am into more natural sounding, jazzy guitar music like acoustic alchemy, rippingtons and the like. from your description, i think the B2s will fit in perfect, but i guess il have to replace my yamaha receiver. might sell it and get a marantz 4300. if only philander will let go of his marantz, hehehe.
by just reading the MA thread, you guys really know how to make my mouth (ears?) drool. MA should be paying you for a terrific marketing job, hehehe. kudos!
-
might sell it and get a marantz 4300.
also i suggest if you have money to spare and don't have the plans of going full-blown 6.1.. you might as well consider HK avr.. HK 2550/B2.. perfect match... ;D but that's just me.. audition still to appreciate.. ;)
-
cousin skeeter,
once you hear these speakers, you would know why i'm into SARS. ;D
eversince..... i heard them a long time ago, i can't take my mind off it....
-
sebman,
yeah am considering it too. thanks for the pm yesterday pala! :)
-
james16,
hehe, hope you sell em missions soon so your happiness will be complete! and lets hope you wont have a SARS relapse after you get ur MAs :). me? i cant afford sars. after i buy em speakers, am likely to stick to them, no matter what i read here (*trying to convince myself*)
-
syempre pag may B2 e kailangan din nag center kc package deal yon ;D ;D ;D
-
I have not yet auditioned MA B2, where can I do this? also, what is the retail price?
-
hello again mga bossing. may mga tanong lng ko concerning the B2s.
1) whats the impedance rating? 6 ohms? 8 ohms? i was reading a review and it said its 6 ohms. i might use my yamaha receiver's A and B speaker connection someday but to do that, all speakers must be 8 ohms or higher.
2) are they magnetically shielded? i might have to place them relatively near my TV.
thanks!
-
Insan Skeeter,
Regarding Shielding, I am not sure if B2 is indeed shielded. You can check that actually while you're in the shop. Position the B2 near the TV o kaya idikit mo mismo sa TV, ipatong sa ibabaw or whatver, then if there is discoloration on the picture, then it is not shielded. If ala naman effect, otherwise.
Regarding Impedance matching, somehow it is critical. I have researched that B2 is power hungry. The impedance drops to 3 ohms when being fed by a lower frequency signal. That is where the Speaker needs power for it to sound dynamic. If kulang sa power reserve ang Receiver or Amplifier, it will sound thin instead. And the worst is baka mag-shut off ang Receiver if it can't provide the needed power by the speaker. You may not notice the effect kapag bago palang. But in the long run, baka doon lumabas.
Ayan din ang plan ko for my Receiver but I noticed the Impedance. Some Receivers though are capable of providing the power needed for dynamics.
I must admit it but my Receiver is not one of those. HK, NAD, Rotel daw ang capable.
To be safe, follow the specs written at the back of your Receiver to be safe.
8 ohms Nominal Speaker also drops Impedance when fed with lower freq. But 6 ohms Nominal drops lower.
Sample:
Polk Audio Rti28 (8 ohms Nominal Specs) Speakers drops to 4 ohms when fed with frequency 80hz and below. Test was done by Sound and Vision.
Hope this helps.
-
What cable do you use to maximize its performance? I'm just using cables from Ace hardware labelled as studio grade cables.
Try Ixos 6004. 8)
-
JVM,
Pre kung nasa Makati ka try to drop by Hyperaudio shop marami syang Jazz CD na ok na ok......audiophile quality ang sound and very good for B2 mo I'm sure you'll love it more..hoy hoy hoy swabe ;D ;D hehehehe
-
nels,
thanks! its a big help. am thinking of letting go of my yamaha na lng and get an HK.
concerning the shielding, can anyone with a B2 test it with his TV? so will know if its shielded :)
-
Pinsan skeeter,
No problem yan bili bili bili na

sir hans sent you PM

Cousin Skeeter,
6 ohms nga ang MA B2 at magnetically shielded. Ang recvr ko na SR4300 ay 6-16ohms ang range ng impedance na kayang i-handle. Ang placement ng speakers ko ngayon ay about 1 foot lang beside the tv and no problem.
-
hi!
i've read the manual that the Silver S2 has an impedance of 6-8ohms...but so far, it matches with my SET amp...therefore impedance is quite stable unlike other speakers...bro, i suggest when setting-up your monitor audio speakers, try the "audiophysic" way...i've learned this from arnoldc (thanks bro!)...visited thier website...and makes wonders...ibang klase ang soundstage especially for 2-channel audio...their website is www.audiophysic.de
thanks! ;D

its so hard to wait but i must......

Jvm and J_albert,
Sir may PM kayoooo heheheh..

-
pinsan skeeter,
nabenta ko na missions ko nga. ang tagal ko din naghintay eh. naghintay ako ng mga ilang buwan din bago ako nakakuha ng HK at MA combo. wag ka mainggit, darating ka rin jan. your wait will be worthwhile. :D

Jvm,
Sent you a pm :)
Thanks Dr. Dre for the pm.
MY B2's are already giving out some good bass especially at high volume. Highs have improved that my tone control for treble is just set to 0, but I set my bass to max 6. I'm still hoping some more improvement for the bass. And also want to try some cables that can help further improve the sound quality of my B2s.
Any store that allows home audition of cables? Good cables are not cheap, like the one Dr. Dre suggested. We have to be sure it will bring out the sound we like before we buy, especially that we have a very tight budget.
The result of the "Cables" eb is highly anticipated, especially by newbies like me. I wish I could attend.
Next buy, Bronze center, maybe by X-mas.
To other owners of MA's how are you doing, or how are you enjoying your MA's?

congrats jvm on your B2.. bi-wire your B2 to get fuller bass.. i have done it to my B2 using generic gauge 12 for the LF and generic gauge 14 for the HF.. and it improved the sound of my B2.. but if you are looking for branded cables..i suggest you use ecosse 2.3, the guys from architectural audio is using and recommending this cables to tame the highs and give fuller bass of not yet break-in MA speakers.
from experience.. first impression on the sound of bronze center out of the box is not good.. unlike B2's you can hear instantly the potential of good sounding speakers out of the box.. ;D also bi-wired them using generic cables to match the sound of B2.. :)
-
same here pre. I just bought a Bronze Center yesterday and my first impression is that the BC sounded too tight. Anyway, I'll keep on using it extensively for 60 hours - the recommended break in time (pucha, ang tagal....) to achieve optimal performance.
-
Bi-wired na rin, kaya lang cables ko galing ng Ace hardware, at parehong gauge (dont remember the size)ng wire for the LF & HF.
Daan kami ni j_albert22 sa Arch Audio sa sunday and hopefully ma-audition yong mga branded na yan.
Saan nyo nabili center nyo? Magkano? Bibili na rin sana ako noon sa Spectra kaya lang walang Beech na color. Di pa rin tumatawag kung may beech na sila.
-
i got mine from Spectra. May Beech BC na sila. Just look for Jim, sya lang ang medyo may alam sa speakers dun.
-
got my B2 and center from spectra as well.. goodluck na lang sa audition nyo ni j_albert22.. audition both ixos 6006 and ecosse 2.3.. then decide with your ears whats best for you.. ;)
-

almost all of us have that first impression regarding Bronze Center.. i almost returned it immediately to spectra upon hooking it to my avr. ;D but patient is virtue they say.. but with continous use.. paganda ng paganda naman ang tunog.. parang commercial ng shampoo...hehehe ;D
-
Thanks Dr. Dre for the pm.
You're welcome. :)

congrats sa B center, sana ako din bago magtapos ang taon makabili na din ako. napapansin ko lalo na gumaganda yung sound ng B2 kada araw. konting tiis pa bago mabreak-in ;D

ok yan, mag-audition kayo ng cable. Dati na ako gumagamit ng ecosse 2.3 courtesy from Archi Audio. May break-in din mga cables. Lalo pa gaganda kung yun wire na yun ay gagamitin nyo tapos cut kayo ng maliit na piece to be its jumper also. Nag-improve talaga sound ng speakers ko before (mission).
pero kahit na ganon, IMHO di pa rin natapatan nya yung B2 ng marinig ko nun (4 months ago).......
break-in ko pa yung B2 at gusto ko madinig ng di ko pa gagamitin yung ecosse as jumper bago ko gawin ulit yun.
Happy owner of B2 speakers...... as close as it gets.... ;D

thanks,
it's up to you upon upgrading your receiver, i suggest that you audition your speakers with the new receiver then audition the b2.
i have not heard kasi yung speakers connected to a HK receiver so i can't judge.....
but with the b2, IMHO it sounds really great! ;D
depende kung anong mas maganda tumunog. very important kasi din yung matching ng speakers at receiver.
if you find na yung yamaha NS-50 sounds good already then use that. Importante din ang pag-audition.
always trust your ears. :)
happy auditioning......
-
freiden,
Sir James is right trust your ears... kahit kami iba rin speaker before we got the monitor kaya audition lang specification are only secondary important is the sound.. dapat swabeeeee hehehehe ;D ;D
Floorstander o bookshelf??? ako prefer floorstander kahit maliit room ko... again preference din yan + budget hehehehe sabi nila mas ok daw imaging ng bookshelf compare to floorstander... but for me pareho lang naman.. i think depend din sa room
-
Pinsan skeeter,
Luwas na kasi Manila so you can buy na B2 and ask friend James about 3550 hehehehe...
-
thanks a lot mga bro. I like the HK B2 combination, pag may budget at pag kumbinsi ko wife ko then benta ko na yamaha receiver and floorstanders ko, tapos bili na ako ng 2550 + b2.
-
frieden you wont regret dyan sa HK/B2 combo lahat masaya ;D ;D ;D try to audition bka di ka rin makatulog gaya ni james16 ;D ;D
-

James,
Broken in B2?? mahirap masabi pre.. ;D
in short habang tumatagal gumaganda ang sound .....bakit wala clang floorstander like M73....sana maglabas ang MA hehehehe ;D ;D para di na kailangan stand

j_albert22,
Actually MA Bronze series has floor standers they call it the B4. Very much alike the B2, they just add a woofer. I audition it na in Architectural Audio & suprisingly like the B2 ang galing, nadagdagan sya ng bass. Kung baga more punch pa!
Question mga brods?
Im planning to buy a B2 & use it as my fronts, Here's my gears:
Center is M&K S125C
Fronts M&K S85
Rear Atlantic Technology
my question goes this way.
Match kaya un B2 for my M&K speakers? If ever i'll put my M&K S85 sa rear & use B2 for my fronts. Ok kaya? Any suggestions or violent reactions?

i mean isang woofer lang could you imagine that ;D ;D maganda na yong M&k mo? Ano ba ang nag uudyok sa iyo at bkit ka pa magpapalit? for lahat naman ay binabagayan nang B2 kung may pinakaiba naman maliit lang especially sa movie yon ang observation ko kc pag music lagi two channel lang ang gamit di ba?

if its not to much to ask, just bring the M&K speakers at Archi and check and hear kung ok yung combo nila. para lang cgurado. :)

ot.. thanks pre.. japs surplus from pier.. alang pambili nung mga bnew e.. hehehe sana tumagal kahit 1 year lang para sulit.. ;D ;D :D
musta na yung B2 and center mo.. break-in na dn pre?
-
j_albert22 ,
Yes, 1 woofer lng but it makes a big difference. Imagine the B2 (ang galing na), plus double the woofer (Ang galing galing bro!!!!)
The reason why I want a B2 (sana) for my fronts kasi my M&K is not that musical, I mean when listening to audio, I have to turn on my sub to appreciate. Hearing the B2, it can stand alone even w/out the sub. Great for 2 channel stereo.
James16,
instead of bring my speakers, I would ask Architectural if they would lend me for a weekend un B2 to test sa bahay, sana pumayag si Nico??? Calling Nico!

Actually I was thinking the same thing kaya lng I love my S125C, kaya as much as possible I want to retain it.
I spoke to Nico na, next week i'll bring my center S125C in Architectural, tamang tama he has S85 & HK5500 so parang set up ko narin sa bahay un audition ko. My problem now is w/c is w/c , B2 or B4!?! Pero bahala na ears & budget ko mag decide? Hehehehe.....

Actually I was thinking the same thing kaya lng I love my S125C, kaya as much as possible I want to retain it.
I spoke to Nico na, next week i'll bring my center S125C in Architectural, tamang tama he has S85 & HK5500 so parang set up ko narin sa bahay un audition ko. My problem now is w/c is w/c , B2 or B4!?! Pero bahala na ears & budget ko mag decide? Hehehehe.....
Para sa akin B4 na ;D ;D ;D parang kay opsss :-X ganda daw yan
-
i second the motion.. if you have the budget go for the floorstander.. B4 for fuller bass.. :D

Mk,
We eagerly wait for the outcome hehehehe try to consider B4 pre..
J_albert,
Ikaw naman pre .. :-X :-X pero sa speaker wire gamit ko ecosse 2.3 na double on each speaker.. full body sound ang labas tried the biwire just last week ang ok naman din..

ako din kasi naka ecosse 2.3 pero di pa ako nakapagbi-wire? malaki ba ang inimrpove kapag nakabi-wire? ???
-
James
Try mo yun left channel double gauge 12 tapos yun left channel single ecosse naman compare...for me mas fine yun high and mataba tumunog..experiment ;D ;D
-
Ikaw naman pre .. :-X :-X pero sa speaker wire gamit ko ecosse 2.3 na double on each speaker.. full body sound ang labas tried the biwire just last week ang ok naman din..
Does this mean you're wiring two runs of speaker cable together into one set of terminals and not bi-wiring them?
-
Archangel,
Correct sir..two runs going to each speaker.
-
OK Thanks. Might just do that to get the last ounce of warmth from my 8.1s.
You guys talking about your B2s gets me fidgety. I feel an attack of SARS coming on.
-
Archangel,
8.1 gamit mo?? yan ang first love ko hehehe sweet sounding bookshelf na right for the pocket.. ;D ;D basta match sa Amp mo okie na ok pre..
-
Based on the posts excellent pair and HK and MA how about ang combo ng MA B2 and Denon 1803?
-
Grimlock,
Possible good match din Denon and MA since Monitor Audio's highs are smooth considering its metal dome tweeter.. and Denon fast and sharp attack on music pwedeng pwede ;) ;) Audition this at Architectural Audio they carry both brands..
-
James,
baka pwede makigulo..dun sa shootout nyo sana QC area kayo?? at payagan nyo ako?? :D ;)
-
mga brod. how much is ecosse 2.3 per piece, gaano kahaba at anong size ng cable?
thanks
-

i suggest you call Architectural Audio 8116715. look for nico or epoy. mas masasagot nila yan. ;D
-
Frieden,
Ecosse 2.3 ( White ) length depends on your setup but ideally 2.5 meters.. P300.00 per meter pre..

James
Try mo yun left channel double gauge 12 tapos yun left channel single ecosse naman compare...for me mas fine yun high and mataba tumunog..experiment ;D ;D
forgive my ignorance but is this the same as changing the jumper of the b2 and using ecosse wire for jumper?
-

sori po di ko naintindihan? sakin po ba itong message na ito? ???

ah ok, dun ko nakita sa kabilang thread. no problem, di pa lang nafinalized yung date. daming kalaban kasi sa bahay, kelangan mamasyal muna parents at kapatid ko heheheh para solo yung bahay.
i'l inform you kapag meron ng sked. MS vs MA!
-
James,
No sir... bale two wires (parang magbi-wire) instead of single ang gagamitin mo on each channel yun Metal LINK ( LF and HF ) pwede mo rin palitan ng ecosse.
-
James,
I can bring my speaker wire ecosse na double hehehe

Swak na swak with my NAD if you like detailed mid-range performance. However, versatility is not a strong point of this combo. Those synthesizer heavy tunes from the 80s are a pain to hear in my setup. Also records with the treble maxed out is sheer torture. Haven't tried metal yet. Might do so once I rebuild my lost tape collection but I suspect that the 80s-early 90s metal I used to listen to just won't sound the way I heard them in my student days with my current rig.
That is why I'm also leaning to getting a pair of them B2s. Since you've had both can you say that having the B2s addresses the 8.1s' weaknesses (piercing highs,weak bass) without sacrificing the nice mid-range? Thanks in advance.

i don't know about the 8.1 since i haven't heard them yet but im sure the B2 will address your concerns (piercing highs, weak bass and nice midrange). just to be sure, the best way though is to audition. Try them at Architectural Audio or Spectra.
-
well the B2's use metal tweeters, so its better u audition them first preferrably with a nad amp. :) auditioned a GR10 with a nadc370 and found it bright, compared when the nadc370 was paired with a mission. but...the S2 was a better match for the nad, haven't tried a b2 yet though.
-
Archangel,
8.1 and B2 hehehehe mahirap ma-compare pre. :)
B2 and NAD... As John mentioned B2 tweeter is a metal dome type but IMHO pre.. no problemo coz smooth high ng B2 wlang harshness compare to S1 and S2 for rock kinda bright yun silver.... Midrange hehehe ok na ok!!.. Bass for a bookshelf this comes an extra you can compare M73i or 8.3 :o.

How much monitor audio B2 and bronze center?

I attended a convention at Mandarin yesterday and I dropped by ArchAudio to listen to the HK-MA combination more intently. HK5500 & B4 combi ang set-up. HK-MA combination does sound fuller and better. It's really a great match. It really made me think of switching to HK.
Nico and Epoy were very kind to let me also hear the B2s using a stereo amp, (which I forgot to ask the model because I was involved at once with the music), and a Concorde CD player. The B2s used they said are just out of the box, and yet it sounded great already. They also let me hear it using a TS Audio tube amp. Dedicated stereo amp, integrated or tube, really sounds far better than using an avr for music listening. This also made me think again of having a dedicated music set up.
Sigh!
Anyway, I just bought for the moment an ecosse-2.3 cables. I'll install it on Sunday. I'll post whatever will be the outcome.
Thank you to Nico and Epoy for their service and some pointers about our hobby.

those are plumb bobs (hulog)...i use them as a tweak...the stands are c/o mang jun reyes...i agree, great stands...these are very heavy...sand-filled already...the same speaker stands are avilable at architectural audio...just ask nico or epoy...

I can bring my speaker wire ecosse na double hehehe
pre hans,
medyo OT but am planning to get generic gauge 12 or 14 since mukhang di pasok sa budget ang ecosse 2.3. will i be missing a lot if i dont get ecosse? how bout audio pro? how much per meter and where can i get em? thanks!

SUPER set up! ganda... sir, itanong ko lang ulit yung tinanong na sa thread na to...para san yung "hulog" how does it improve the sound of your speakers? curious lang po... ??? I have the B2's kse...baka pwede rin yung tweak na yun sa B2 ko... and ano yung yellow thing in between the hulog and your S2?

thanks kwela! ;D
the "yellow thing" is a foam c/o uratex...this improves the imaging since i have a TV at the middle..."kinakain" nung TV yung image kaya i placed foams...got this idea from m_shoe_maker...
...for the "hulog"...this is just an experiment...i read in a website (can't remember anymore) that this helps in "properly diffusing" the bass...still in the process of observing the effects...
thanks again! 8)

superman, katatanong ko lang din sa friend ko yung hulog...at nakita nya set up mo...grabe daw ;D
anyway sabi nga din ng friend ko para nga daw sa vibration yun...nagse-center yung vibration dun sa dulo ng hulog. thanks for sharing ur set up pics and tweaks...
san ka ba nakatira at gusto ko na ring marinig ang set up nyo sir.... :D

I already changed my cables to ecosse-2.3. Significant bass improvement.
I used an mp3 of folk-country-accoustic collection to see if the sound of my B2's improved with the ecosse. I usually listen with this mp3 with my subs on, because it really sounds thin. After I changed the cables, I can now listen to it without the sub, just the B2 with the bass set to max.
Now even without the sub, and bass is set to 0, i can still have acceptable level of bass with the B2. ;D
I'm still observing though, I still have to listen with my other cds to be sure that I'm not "namamalik tenga" lang because of the price of this cable.
I also changed the jumper with the ecosse. But I have to use banana plugs to do this because the hole of the posts are just enough for the diameter of one ecosse. Additional expense :-[. BTW, (ot) are quantum banana plugs good and are they really 100/pc? or there are better and cheaper brands?

well right now im using ecosse 2.3 and quantum banana plugs (there are some stores that sell them that doesn't cost that much) for my b2 speakers also and i'm very happy with the results... ;D
i'm not yet using ecosse for jumper right now kasi gusto ko pagsawaan muna yung tunog ng b2 ng walang tweaks pa. but im sure there will be significant improvement pa.
what really impresses me is there Imaging (akala mo talaga na nasa harap mo yung performers) galing talaga......
wats important now, masaya at kuntento ako sa tunog.
i like there combo. ;D

Cousin Skeeter,
Pre wasn't able to audition the audio pro speaker wire so can't say if can outclass the ecosse 2.3 but I have the audio pro interconnection RCA ok naman sya compare to Ixos very minimal diff lang sila..

It could easily drive the b2...if you could imagine the listening room at home theater of Mr. Sonny T. di pa na crank up yung volume ganda ng tunog ng b2 kahit out of the box sya..with regards sa 1604..very good sa audio..sa HT...yamaha pa rin ako ;)

Da Best pa rin for HT Yamaha... if I only learned earlier siguro have separate HT and Audio na :) :) 1604 bago ata yan model pre..

i am wondering kung talagang mas maganda yung monitor audio compared with mission speakers? bka kasi overhype lang yan eh.i also have a HK paired with M70s set-up and im satisfied with it.malaki ba talaga ang difference? kung malaki, magpapalit na din ako.

try mo muna mag audition sa Spectra park square or architectural audio or Sonny Tuazon before you decide, side by side para mas maganda... mababait naman lahat cla e
-
ok,i did hear it sa spectra (dun ko din nabili 3550 ko) before and im truly impressed.ayoko lang kasi na magpalit agad at magastos.wala pang 1 year kasi yung mission at HK set-up ko eh.pagsawaan ko muna.

well for me i felt the itch to change my speakers after hearing them (MA).... di na naalis sa isip ko yung sound eh. its up to every individual if he wants to change his ht equipment. im glad that you don't have any SARS. ;D
what's really important is our contentment with what we have. IMHO now i can say that im not only content, but happy and relaxed with the choice i made, that is getting these speakers. :D
Monitor Audio - as close as it gets....

Dumadami na rin pwede mapag-auditionan!! 8) 8)

look at james16 and another prend.. ;D ;D they disposed their m72 and m73 in favor of MA speakers.. but its all up to you to decide.. audition again to hear if the difference is significant.. ;) as close at it gets.. btw i also have the same setup with james16.. 3550/B2..

Sir Dexterc have already heard that combo Denon and B2 you can ask him about that..

kaya idol kta eh sir! pareho tayo naka B2 at 3550 ;D. Habang tumatagal, lalo gumaganda yung sound. Excellent soundstage and imaging yung B2.

I just want to share my experience with my B Centre.
Very clear dialogue, kaya di na ako nag su-subtitle kapag nanonood ako ng dvd.
what also impressed me is that, dati nahihirapan ako manood ng vcd kasi nga nasanay akong may subtitle tapos yung prevoius na center speaker ko, di makapagproduce ng clear dialogue.
ngayon nung gumamit ako ng B Centre, klaro talaga at parang nanonood din ako ng dvd na..... Galing talaga ng MA.... ;D like what they said : as close as it gets...
-
yung prevoius na center speaker ko, di makapagproduce ng clear dialogue.
pre - ano center mo dati?
-
I just ordered my bronze center from Mr. Sonny Tuason.
How long did the break-in took? What cable are you using for it to enhance dialogue clarity?
-
pre - ano center mo dati?
mission m7c1, not really comparable to B Centre. ang match yata nya ay yung m7c2.
-
has anyone used a diamond center before? is the sound anywhere near that of the b2 center?

IMHO, B Centre is a big improvement over my previous center speaker, lalo na kapag nabreak-in pa sya.... kanya-kanyang preference naman yan eh...
jvm,
sa ngayon may 15 hrs ata sya,got mine (demo unit - yun na pinili ko para les break-in) from Archi Audio, thanks guys ;D,pero alam ko matagal pa ang break-in period nya.... im using ecosse 2.3 for my fronts and center. ayos naman combo nila...
-
hi everybody,
maganda ba talaga ang B2? kung sa 1803 kaya mataba kaya tumunog yan? Mukhang balak ko na rin mag MA a. sars attack na naman... :)
-
mas maganda yan sa hk or nad ;D

You can go to Architectural Audio located inside New World Hotel in Makati near Greenbelt 3. Look for Nico or Epoy. You may call them at 811-6715. I know they carry Denon receivers also, you may also compare it with a HK combo.

Hi james 16,
thanks for your suggestions. i own kasi the 1803 and i am thinking if the b2 and 1803 are well matched in terms of music, ill try to visit architectural one of this days , thanks.. :)

J_albert,
B6 and b3 yan ata yun 3 woofer and single woofer models.. maganda yan pre..
Cousin skeeter,
Congrats in advance on your B2!!! ok ba yun HK pre?? ;D ;D
-
kimpao,
thats good for my budget. sir ano po specs ng B4?
-
Raycor,
A svelte 2.5-way floorstander, the new B4 builds on the considerable musical strengths of the B2 by providing greater bass extension and weight. Rigid construction is again key to achieving the clean, un-boxy sound. The B4 employs multiple bracing positioned at critical resonance nodes. The two 6.5-inch MMP® Mk2 drivers have been designed specifically for the B4. The lower unit handles bass only, the other provides punchy upper bass and a clear, natural mid-band right up to the crossover point with the tweeter at 2.6 KHz. Unlike the B2, Bronze B4 has a reflex port at the rear as well as the front. This is to provide maximum airflow at low frequencies and reduces air pressure that can lead to bass compression effects.
For medium to large rooms or systems dedicated to home cinema, the rear port can be blocked with a foam bung to tailor the bass response. This allows greater placement flexibility in smaller rooms. The effects are lower bass extension at the expense of bass impact. New high quality machined cone floor spikes provide a stable platform and excellent isolation.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Response 36Hz-22KHz
Sensitivity (1W@1m) 91dB
Nominal Impedance (Ohms) 6
Power Handling RMS (W) 150
Drive Unit Complement 1 x 6.5" MMP® MK2 Bass
1 x 6.5" MMP® MK2 Bass mid-range
1 x 25mm Gold Dome
C-CAM® tweeter
Cabinet Design Front & rear ported, bass reflex
Product Exernal Dimensions cm (inch) 85H x 18.5W x 25.5D (33 1/2" x 7 1/4" x 10")
Weight (packaged) Kg (lb) 18 (40)
Finishes Black Ash, Rosemah or Beech vinyl with Black Grille

hahaha! wer kinda OT, but why spend 100k just to get laid? :P besides, sooner or later ur gonna need viagra to keep it up but as long as uve got a good pair of working ears, youll be enjoying music for the rest of your life. on a side note, id rather get laid with excellent sensual music playing in the background rather than the noisy revving of a big bike.

try at Architectural Audio located at New world Hotel at makati near greenbelt 3. 811-6715, look for nico or epoy... very accommodating guys
IMHO, among the budget speakers MA bronze series are the best sounding speaker that you can have... great soundstage and imaging...
audition : trust your ears, and always consider proper matching of ht gears (rcvr/player/spkr/spkr wire & interconnects).
you should also consider the auditioning room as these could really maximize the performance of speakers... i prefer to hear them with the not so ideal ht room set-up since most of us don't have any dedicated ht room... (as much as possible try them with the receiver you are using)
comparison of speakers are good as this will really help you in choosing the best sounding system that you want... the more choices you have the better, i think... ;D
plus also parts and service support...
happy auditioning... ;D

thanks for the very informative links james16 & cousin skeeter. all of a sudden i rearranged my list of choices for my pure audio setup:
- MA B2 + jun reyes stands
- MS 914
- A-Audio latest design w/ sidefiring woofer
other choices if i can find them in this budget:
- Pre-owned Dynaudio Audience 40/42
- Yamaha NS-1000X + kamagong stand
- Diatone 80's - 90's mini-ref
hirap mag-decide... malapit na mag christmas.

d best talaga! side by side with mission m73, and i'm really impressed with the performance. di nga lang pogi ang features compare to mission. parang c Tim Duncan, ala sa itsurang magaling pero super sa peformance hehehe
pogi naman ang B2 ah...

initial comments - out of the box, medyo bright sya. i started with the grilles off, but placed them back on (that seemed to help with the brightness)
bass is still a little stiff - but imaging and clarity are very nice
i left it on overnight, playing a techno bass cd on album repeat (low volume) to loosen up the woofer and tweeter, will repeat it tonight to hasten the break in :)
-
iceman,
pogi talaga ang B2! tyaga lang talaga sa pag-break-in...
sir, wat cable are you using ba? May i suggest that you use ecosse 2.3 para di maging bright since naka- hk/ma ka naman di ba?

i also got some ixos 6007 (which i plan to use on my audio set-up) so thats what i was using last night to break two birds with one stone :) (amp + ixos + B2)
my HK/MA will be connected with generic 12ga speaker wires (in the meant time) i switched to this connection this morning and noticed an improvement in the bass and highs already
my wife will be continuing the break in today as she plans on watching a couple of dvd's this morning :) (addict din yun eh - nung bago pa yung HK naka 3 movies sya in one day) ;D
-
Vince so complete ka na. It's really a pain to break these in. In fact I still don't think mine are although they're getting there.
I noticed that this pair is quite responsive to placement where slight tweaks and adjustments can improve greatly off-axis respopnse, tame some sibilance and brightness and improve bass response. Sometimes though at the expense of imaging. Also depends on your room, of course...
Move it around, tilt them slightly upwards, experiment with placement on side and rear walls. These tweaks are free anyway and just take time and an extra pair of ears.
Enjoy it bud...
P.S. Bali wala advice ko kasi "surrounds" lang ni Vince to! :P He he, big time na kasi eh...

look who's talking about being big time ;)
will try those tweaks when my stands come, also when these play a bit looser. and on the contrary these will be the fronts for my HT - so my other pair can be permanently connected to my amp... nagrereklamo kasi si misis, di daw sya basta makapanood dahil dami pa ceremony sa pag kabit at palit ng speakers from receiver to amp, etc... naconvince ko tuloy na bumili ng isa pang pair ng spkrs ;D wharfedale wh-2 ang center at surrounds ko (oks na yun - i'd rather save up for a tube amp ;D)

Im being obsessed on this speakers and now its time to have a desicion this afternoon whether to buy the B2 or the B4 model coupled to Denon 1803, what do you think guys? my area has a dimension of 11x11x20 in feet, is it enough for the b2 to fill my area? or the B4? is it a good match for the denon since lot of guys here claimed that H/K MA are the best combo? i called up the dealer of MA and they will going to audition only to a yamaha receiver, do i making the right combo decision bet denon and MA? any comment guys? thanks...

if you have the dough.. by all means get the floorstander B4... they actually occupy the same space with the B2 with stands.. you can always lower the volume to suit the room accoustics.. also if you transferred to a bigger room.. your floorstander would still be capable of filling your room with good music.. also try spectra(makati), architectural audio (makati), soundroom(podium), digital dreams(sm west) and audition the combo.. they carry both Denon and MA.
-
sir sebman,
thanks for the comment, i should go first to sm west that you mentioned coz thats nearest from our place. better audition it with the denon before purchasing, thanks again.. :)

Bro, pwede mo dalhin yammie mo sa park square 1. Magkalapit lang 5th Ave. & Spectra or Sights and Sounds. Sigurado may MA doon. Pwede rin Shangrila 5th Ave. and LIstening in Style. I saw they have MAs there.
-
To the guys Sebman, James, Slayer, J_albert, Rogie, Nels, Narayan & Lt Cool and syempre to our hospitable host Akyatbundok. its very nice meeting you guys.. MS and MA hirap magdecide talaga music preference will decide.. hehehe parang si MAUi and RICa ang pagpipilian.. both MAGANDA
Was able to hear Marantz paired with MA and MS mmmh very NICE!!
Akyatbundok,
Sir nun sa pix ganda ng setup mo lalo na nun actual na... iba MS 908 mo for all department of music MALUPET!! napa ahhhh ako sa ganda ng sound sir, yun Sansui surplus MAMA MIA!! MAS MALUPET!! well match na match sa B4 ko!! Thanks sana maulit muli..
Narayan,
Sir Ganda ng Musical Fidelity typhoon mo!! BAGYO sa sound!! It really smoothen and control the sound of B4..hope to have one you those someday.. hope naka decide ka na on MS or MA?? :D :D
James, Sebman, J_albert & Slayer,
HK/MA guys galing pa rin ng MA sir hehehe sayang and no one bought in there HK so ma-witness din ng iba ang sinasabi natin..
Nels,
Sir di ka na bumalik sa office mo hehehe nice meeting you sir.. hope someday we can hear your setup also..
LTcool and Rogie,
Sir nice that you both came so you'll have initial impression of whats to look for in speakers and Amp.. ;D ;D
-
ganda ng tunog ng b4 mga padre!! yung term ni hans: "full-bodied"... sapul sa mata ng kalabaw. impressive integration of the highs, mids, mid bass and bass... and then some. it integrates very well with the sub too. comment ko nga kay james, kahit anong amp yata ikabit natin match pa din: musical fidelity typhoon, kenwood thx, marantz receiver and sansui amp.
4 months ago i narrowed down my choices to the 2 speakers we auditioned yesterday - the ma b4 & ms 908. i think if i had the same budget to make that choice again, i would be choosing between the same 2 speakers again. di ka talaga magkakamali. the b4 i think is more flexible with amp matching as it has rounder mids & midbass. the 908 would prefer a rounder sounding amp like the sansui & sony to make it sing, and has to be high-current to control the 10" woofer, otherwise it will sound thin. no such requirement for the b4, it sings to you even when powered by a receiver.
2 things i learned yesterday... from james16 - the movie soundtrack of Dragonheart... the finale track p're, wa ako ma say. it creeps up the back of my neck. and from hans adriane - corrine may! ganda ng boses tsong, gotta get me a copy. the gear won't matter if there's no music to play on it.
-
Raycor,
Congrats on your B4 sir.. I know its break in stage pa pero hows your initial impression of Denon/ MA combo sir???
James,
Marantz 7300 and Monitor Audio B4 ganda!! musical sa 2 channel tapos engaging sa HT!! for me. teka OT should be on the other thread. hehhee
-
this was the "last mile" when i made my HT upgrade 4mos ago. kumbaga grand finals between maui & rica hehe - galing ng analogy mo hans. i liked the dynamic slam of both speakers when playing the sheffield drum & track disk. like hans said, they have a different presentation, yet they're both good that either one would still be a good choice. it all boils down to amp matching & musical preference.
(http://203.131.66.146:8080/mams1.jpg)
maraming salamas din sa mga pumunta!
-
Akyat,
Nice pix of MS908 and MA B4 speakers.. Thanks for the warm welcome medyo nangulo lang kami I enjoy every minute pre.. Ikaw pre Maui o Rica?? teka Francine na lang ako hehehehe
-
Hans,
MS o MA? alin ang mas maganda sa pandinig mo from the 2 floorstanders na nasa pic?
-
Audioslave,
Honestly speaking pre... love them both MS and MA if have the budget would buy both.. 8) each have there own signature. :) Sound preference will play the vital role pre..
We played difference tracks from female vocals like Corrine May, Eva Cassidy, & Jeena Lodwick... Accoustic music, RNB, Violin tracks etc.. both Speaker performed different presentation and with Gusto!! tried both speaker with diff amp.. Akyats, Sansui (LOVE ko ito), Marantz 7300 + kenwood.... and Narayan, Musical Fidelity Typoon na BAGYO talaga.. still both speaker sounded excellent for me..
Kaya ikaw pre sino gusto mo Maui o Rica?? ;D ;D
Peace.. audition lang
-
Hans,
ah ok.... kay Maui na lang ako!! :P
-
Audioslave,
Nice choice!! kasi both are sexy, seductive, with big B and cute.. hehehe kaya parang ganyan din MS and MA..
-
akyat,
ganda ng set-up mo talaga.... wala akong masabi... ;D ;D ;D
nice pics ahh
hans adrienne,
ganda ng B4!!! lupit talaga... bagay na bagay sa kahit anong ht gear.. hehehe
trip ko din mga cds mo... baka maging audio fanatic na ako...
francine, maui or rica... ayos lahat yan... kahit sino pwede heheheh ;D
-
this was the "last mile" when i made my HT upgrade 4mos ago. kumbaga grand finals between maui & rica hehe - galing ng analogy mo hans. i liked the dynamic slam of both speakers when playing the sheffield drum & track disk. like hans said, they have a different presentation, yet they're both good that either one would still be a good choice. it all boils down to amp matching & musical preference.

pareng akyatbundok...good to know that you're also a monitor audio lover (and marantz too, like me, hehehehehe!)...bro, good choices sa mga speakers!!!...congrats! 8)
punta kayo sa nov. 22 ha...
nga pala, may napansin ako...tama ba yung basa ko???
maraming salamas din sa mga pumunta!

Raycor,
Go for the B4 so even you move to a bigger place no problemo or baka bigla kang magpa-party heheheh.. btw Qc area ka ba.. I'm just at the back of SM west pre..
ok yang suggestion mo sir just in case nga pwede B4 lalo na malapit na pasko pang hataw sa kapitbahay ;D. sampaloc lang ako sir near welcome rotonda pero actually taga la union ako pero may place kami sa sampaloc kaya sm west ang pinakamalapit. question lang sir, power hungry ba ang B4? sabi kasi sa sm west digital dreams para lumabas ang ganda ay dapat high powered ang amp? 1803 kasi gamit ko sir at 80 watts lang yun. mostly 2 channel ako, medyo stiff para sa akin yung bass nya eh since wala pang 10hrs of use. break in ba ang solusyon? thanks :)
-
raycor,
congrat in advance isa ka na rin sa mapupuyat ;D ;D
thanks pero kaylangan ba tuloy tuloy ang pag break in? dont know pa kung pano mag break in kung anong test cd and how many hours to do it..any comment?
-
ure welcome and you dont have to call me sir.. i am not a knight in shining armor and we are not in the king arthurs era.. ;D ;D btw digital dreams is in the back of sm west.. :)
sige po kuya sebman na lang tawag ko kasi 28 lang po ako at taga promdi.. hehehe. sorry for Ot ;D
-
Bro, pwede mo dalhin yammie mo sa park square 1. Magkalapit lang 5th Ave. & Spectra or Sights and Sounds. Sigurado may MA doon. Pwede rin Shangrila 5th Ave. and LIstening in Style. I saw they have MAs there.
Thanks Sir
-LtCool-

to all hk/ma bros,
i got my b2s last saturday ;D ;D ;D . when i got to the store, it was hooked up to a pioneer elite cd player an x10d and a musical fidelity amp. it was the first monitor audio speakers here in our place so our dealer was also curious how it sounded. we played some acoustic music and my first impression was it really needed some breaking in. details were a bit lacking and the bass although fast, tight and deep, sounded flat. the highs were also a bit harsh but i did notice the mids really coming out. medyo kulang pa ang details and imaging niya.
i then brought it to my friends house and we placed it side by side with his m72i's. connected them both to his pioneer stereo amp that had A B switching. first impressions were that the missions sounded better. the the mids and highs had better detail and clarity but i figured it was probably because the b2s werent broken in yet. if i was a customer auditioning speakers, i might have gone for the m72is. we did conclude though that the b2 really had better bass. the m72is were boomy compared to the b2s. some might like boomy bass but i prefer em tight and fast.
we then connected the b2s to my hk and it was then i realized that the hk/ma was indeed a perfect combo. the bass did not sound flat anymore instead swabe na, even more punchy. perfect for hard thumping rock music. the mids were more distinct and detailed pero the highs were still harsh. comparing my friend's pioneer stereo amp + m72i and my hk + b2, i now preferred the latter. my friend was already asking me how much the b4s were because he was really impressed with the bass.
i brought em home and watched some movies. i dont think ill be investing in a sub for now. the bass is good enough for me. now after two days of break-in, the harshness has lessened, the mids are starting to become more detailed and bass more rounder. didnt want to leave the house kanina, enjoy na enjoy ako sa listening session ko eh. will be heading straight home after work mamaya, miss ko na hk/b2 ko!! hehehe ;D

Raycor,
Regards to B4 we paired it with the following amps Marantz 7300, Sansui integrated, and MF wala naman sign sa sound sir.. break in lang muna before my B4 also shown harshness and flat sound but frequent listen improved it kaya gamitin mo lang sir.. any Cd pwede pang break in..

ok sir kaylangan talaga patience sa pag break in nito, i wish lang na sana na break in na mga speakers pag binili mo para sulit agad yung money mo. medyo madugo na para sa akin yung prize nito but then patience nga to achieve better performance.. thanks for your help :)
-
Patience ba kamo? Wharfs ko 3 mos. in the making ang brake-in. ahehehee.... ;D

my only complaint about breaking them in is that my other speakers are getting mothballed :-[
but they are getting better and better everyday :)

superman,
got your pm, thanks... tignan ko kung makakasama ako...
HK/MA All the Way!!!! ;D

pre james,
100 hrs? tsk tsk tsk..tagal pa pala. siguro more than a month pa ksi morning and evening ko lang nagagamit. gusto ko sana dalhin dito sa ofis para hanggang dito ma enjoy ko, hehehe.
hk/ma sirs,
several queries lang po.
1) which cd player would you recommend for the hk/ma combi. yung most bang for the buck. cant afford naman expensive ones. kasalanan nang dealer namin dito eh, kinabit nya sa ang b2s sa musical fidelity x10d and amp when it arrived kaya ngayon i cant get the sound out of my head. am playing music through my xenon dvd player now. was considering upgrading it to a pioneer dvd player na may 192/24 dac (forgot the model). its around the 10K price range.
2) i tried the break-in method as suggested in the monitor audio site, reversing the cable polarity of one speaker and have them face each other. just want to know at what volume level, normal listening? or yung medyo loud and what kind of music would be most suitable?
3) anyone tried connecting their hk to the sound card of the computer using the baby stereo plug -> rca cable? is this safe to do? which input would be most suitable? tape in, dvd in, cd in? was able to test it but just want to make sure am not doing anything wrong. baka masira ko pa hk ko.

1) ithink the best sounding dvd player that is also comparable to some cd players out there would be from hk... try to check if there are dvd21 or dvd25 (that's what im aiming for) (if you can also stretch your budget) as they sound very well in audio even if its just a dvd player... 192/24 bit dacs na rin ata yan so match sa hk mo yan... im not sure kung maganda sound ng dvd-audio ng pioneer but accdg to some sources, mas-ok talaga yung hk sa pioneer daw when it comes to audio quality...
2) yup, my volume was set to -20db tapos magkadikit na yung speaker para di gaanong malakas... iniwan ko ng on tuwing matutulog ako for one week... papatayin ko kapag aalis ako nun... patience lang talaga... kaya 100 hrs lang ang nabanggit ko para cgurado na yun..
3) sori, but i haven't tried it yet...

I got to audition the B2s the other night at Spectra. Used an NAD C320BEE and a 521i. Played Tony Bennet/KD Lang (best sounding cd), Cristopher Cross (worst sounding cd), and Metallica-Black (to check for rock music compatibility). Here are my listening notes:
1.) This combo cannot save a badly recorded cd (yes, I still have hope). Cristopher still sounded like his balls were being squeezed and highs (aplenty in this cd) are still very piercing (I use this adjective instead of harsh because I feel my ears are being pierced when I listen to this cd).
2.) Mids even with speakers not broken in still sounded immaculate. Hints of imaging potential are discernable. (can't be sure since Spectra has a terrible auditioning area.)
3.) The bass I got was not what I was expecting. Almost non-existent. BUT, after swapping out with an pair of LX2002s, I can safely conclude that this is the fault of the open audition area and the drivers not being broken in. I came to this conclusion since in this setting the B2s sounded just like the JBLs with Metallica playing. I have heard the JBLs in a better setting using the same cd and bass was great.
I would have walked away with the pair but since they did not sound good this particular instance I could not buy based on potential. I was going over the misis's head on this so the buy had better be worth the endless explanations that was to follow. I'm afraid it was not, AT THIS INSTANCE. I wish I had more time to go to a dealer with a better listening area and broken in speakers. Since I had to go home the following morning, the B2s or B4s (might as well go for them since I have more time to save) would have to wait. Man, I envy you guys.

pre you're gabriel from wiredstate di ba?
anyway you did a good thing and bad thing: bad thing is you walked away from really good speakers (anyway may chance ka pa naman ulit)
good thing is, if kailangan mo pa i-justify, buti di mo pa binili - kasi after you bring them home, it will really take some time before they start sounding really good...
mas mahirap i-condition mga misis to accept our spending kaysa i condition ang speakers ;D
misis: nakita ka daw sa spectra - may date ka ano????
me: wala nag audition lang ako ng speakers, eto nga naka bili ako oh..
misis: sorry dear, magkano ba yan?
me: Pxx,xxx ....
misis: HAYOP KA! Nag Date ka na lang sana mas mura pa!!!!
;D ;D ;D
oooppsss gotta go, maglilinis pa ako ng kinainan ;)

archangel...i know how you feel...but why not try to arrange for a home audition...maybe you can ask mr. sonny tuazon or epoy and nico of archi audio...i'm sure pwede naman yan...
it may also be "mismatch" in terms of the equipment combo vs. your taste of music...(i may be wrong)...like will the NAD C320BEE do justice for the B2s??? (haven't heard them yet paired together...not sure of they really "match")...plus the auditioning area at spectra is not that "ideal"...
another recommendation would be to join some of the listening sessions...you may be able to "hear" what you haven't heard before...especially what you're "looking for"...as i've mentioned, the home theater and archi audio has nice listening areas...
just my 2-cents...thanks! 8)
BTW...this might help you...we'll have a listening session on the 22nd...we're using both the S2 and the B2...you may want to join...let us know...thanks bro!

You got me Iceman.
I had my wife more or less conditioned on this particular purchase. More on the less. I guess I had a hard time convincing myself also.
Anyways, do any of you guys have any suggestions on how to camouflage the tube pre-amp I plan to get from WS? ;)

I'd have loved to join in but since I'm urgently needed at home, I am now back in the warm "Island in the Pacific" in the middle of the Visayas. I only got to audition at Spectra since the business I had to attend got taken cared of earlier than expected. I chose Spectra since it basically had my home system in store. Thanks anyway.
I think the B2s and the C320 will prove their worth as a combo when the B2s are fully broken in. The B2s I want to use to add versatility to my system especially with rock music. My current Wharf 8.1-NAD system is surprisingly good for jazz and mellow pop but not for rock.

tell her you borrowed them from me :) after a while , when she falls in love with the sound say "di ko na sasauli ito, bilhin na lang natin.."
warning: this only works once (i know..) ;D

archangel,
superman is right, maybe its not te right matching of ht equipment and spectra doesn't have an ideal listening area... but you said it yourself, there is potential... you can check out the shops he suggested...
iceman90a is also right regarding sa pagbreak-in nila... cgurado magagalit misis mo kapag narinig nya agad out of the box... if given a chance, i would purchase demo units, specifically speakers para kahit papaano, broken in na...
and your observation may be right that these speakers reveals bad recordings... let me add that it will also reveal the true characteristic of your ht equipment...
IMO, kapag nakabili ka ng speakers na ito at broken-in na, di ka magsisisi...
audition is still the key (also proper matching of ht equipment)...
b2 or b4, for budget speakers ayos yan...
i also think when you have these speakers, matagal pa bago ka tamaan ng SARS, coz yung pag-upgrade mo, yung mga speakers na tatalo dto ay medyo mataas na ang price... (it could be double or triple the price difference)...
if you could here them sa tube amps... its jaw dropping...

You're probably right but with speakers as popular and fast moving as the B2s, the chances of listening to fully broken in units are slim.
Do the guys at Architectural reserve the demo units exclusively for this purpose? Would really help if they did.

Archangel,
Better check out Arch audio sir mas ok ang place nila less people and nice setup.. I agree the best option is to get the demo units..

sometimes, but if a customer insist that they want to buy there demo unit... they'll give it to him... i got mine from them, i was there when it was actually delivered and i let them break-in it for a while... probably 8 hrs before i brought my b2s home... and continued to break in them...
if you have time, check there website : monitoraudio.com

bro...they do have "broken-in" units or demo-units at archi audio...there are some customers who would ask nico or epoy to break-in their purchased speakers first before they bring them home...archi audio would use them for demo...especially for their tube amps... 8)

Architectural Audio sells broken-in units, infact this afternoon i'll get na my much awaited B4's & as per Nico, it has 10 hrs na of usage, so kahit pano medyo nasalang na.
I will bring my M&K S125C to test kung mag match sa MA/B4. Sana mag match para I will just retain my precious center, less gastos. I'll post it here kung ano man mangyari basta uuwi ko na un B4 yehey!!!
Cheers...

I got to audition the B2s the other night at Spectra. Used an NAD C320BEE and a 521i. Played Tony Bennet/KD Lang (best sounding cd), Cristopher Cross (worst sounding cd), and Metallica-Black (to check for rock music compatibility). Here are my listening notes:
1.) This combo cannot save a badly recorded cd (yes, I still have hope). Cristopher still sounded like his balls were being squeezed and highs (aplenty in this cd) are still very piercing (I use this adjective instead of harsh because I feel my ears are being pierced when I listen to this cd).
2.) Mids even with speakers not broken in still sounded immaculate. Hints of imaging potential are discernable. (can't be sure since Spectra has a terrible auditioning area.)
3.) The bass I got was not what I was expecting. Almost non-existent. BUT, after swapping out with an pair of LX2002s, I can safely conclude that this is the fault of the open audition area and the drivers not being broken in. I came to this conclusion since in this setting the B2s sounded just like the JBLs with Metallica playing. I have heard the JBLs in a better setting using the same cd and bass was great.
I would have walked away with the pair but since they did not sound good this particular instance I could not buy based on potential. I was going over the misis's head on this so the buy had better be worth the endless explanations that was to follow. I'm afraid it was not, AT THIS INSTANCE. I wish I had more time to go to a dealer with a better listening area and broken in speakers. Since I had to go home the following morning, the B2s or B4s (might as well go for them since I have more time to save) would have to wait. Man, I envy you guys.
archangel,
bro, the b2s really sound like that out of the box. the highs medyo harsh, the mids though distinct a bit muddled and the bass flat and stiff, parang the speakers are holding back. i've had my b2s for 5 days pa lang and i can definitely say that the sound has improved already. the bass is a lot smoother and deeper, the highs cleaner and no longer harsh as before and the mids are really detailed na but am still expecting for the sound to improve. another thing i noticed about them is that i cannot hear any resonance, walang dagdag na sound. they have that "in-your-face" sound, no added noise. im breaking them in at home as we speak (face-to-face break-in).
by the way, which part of the visayas you from? am from iloilo bro :)
-
Pinsan skeeter,
bili na din ng center para complete na yun 3 front speaker mo sir!!

yup, these speakers reveal the true sound of your system... no coloration of sound...
-
Pinsan skeeter,
bili na din ng center para complete na yun 3 front speaker mo sir!!
pre hans,
yup!!! thats my next target, siguro pag dumating yung christmas bonus, hehehe. which surrounds should i get? am thinking wharf 8.1s na lang since surround lang naman.
-
Cousin skeeter,
8.1 is the best pa rin sir fronts or surround pwede!! ;D
-
pre hans,
yup!!! thats my next target, siguro pag dumating yung christmas bonus, hehehe. which surrounds should i get? am thinking wharf 8.1s na lang since surround lang naman.
ayos yan, ganda ng B centre.... ;D
try to enjoy 2 ch stereo, ok na ok yan...
im also planning to get 8.1 for surrounds na lang so i can save up for the hk dvd player...
-
by the way, does the 8.1 have bass ports at the back? pwede ba ma wall mount?
-
cousin skeeter,
8.1 sa front yun port nga so no problem sa wall placement kung hang mo sa wall better get a bracket btw yun 8.1 walang holes for the bracket.. ;D
-
problem with diamond 8s, they are rear ported. they tend to get boomy when placed near corners or walls.

How much ba ang 8.1? :) :) :)

pre hans,
yup!!! thats my next target, siguro pag dumating yung christmas bonus, hehehe. which surrounds should i get? am thinking wharf 8.1s na lang since surround lang naman.
having recently purchased the wh-2 center and surround package - i am now partial to dipoles for surround speakers but only for movies
for music , i like 2 channel stereo, sometimes logic7 on the HK :)
my opinion ;D
-
for me nothing beats 2-channel stereo but when i play soft music, specially at night, i use logic 7 too :)
-
Cousin skeeter,
Yes to that sir.. 2 channels pa rin ;D ;D

hk/ma bros,
what subwoofer are you using now? what do you think would be the best BUDGET sub to pair with hk/ma? am empasizing budget ksi cant afford tayo sa mga rel and velodyne ;D ;D ;D. to be used 50% music 50% movies. although for most of my music, the bass of the b2s are good enough for me, there are some recordings na mahina talaga ang bass and need subwoofer reinforcement

i don't know if they have the same function as the "hulog"...i think these would prevent jitters, etc. (i may be wrong)...if you're interested in these, bro...the best person to contact is arnoldc, he's the eichmann guru...thanks bro...pero, i'll consider these...thanks! ;D

mga guys,
I finally have my B4 & im really impress of its performance, kaya lng nalulungkot ako, i might change my center pa huhuhu... My M&K S125C is very good but pairing it w/ MA/B4, well ayus lng, kaya lng d sila timbre match & parang kalat un imaging nga. Parang d nya masabayan un B4. (Not sure kung tama un term) So most probably I have to down grade my center to Bronze center, gastos nanaman! Mas match talaga un MA lahat for fronts.
Kaya right now im thinking of selling my M&K center & atlantic technology rears ko huhuhu... Bahala na!
-
mk,
cONGRATS on your B4!! ok lang yun sir you have the money to buy naman :D :D

Side by side comparison nmin sa shop pero marami kming di nagustuhan!! Like center nya ladeback tumunog para kang nakikinig ng may boundery o harang sa harap mo sayang lang gastos nyo dyan!!! Tapos yung fronts nya super bright! Compare lang namin sa yamaha na ns555 layo ng diperencya... hehehe... Try nyo audition with comparison sa ibang brand... yun bang AB comparison...

egay1977,
Sir thanks for the advice on how to audition speakers.. btw whats your current setup sir??

Egay,
Sir curious ako regards to your AB comparision are both speaker broken in? plan to upgrade my speaker kasi.

Gusto ko sana sa bahay namin kaso mabubulabog ang baby ko at mayayari ako kay kumander. :P anyway, pag meron post na lang kayo. thanks mga bro!

kanya - kanyang preference lang yan...

egay,
have auditioned bose, mission, b&w, jbl, mordaunt short, pioneer, kenwood and yamaha speakers but i still prefer the monitor audios. siguro hindi pa broken in ang na test nyo kasi out of the box talagang harsh and bright sya tpos stiff ang bass. mine have improved a lot since i bought them pero am still in the break-in stage. im not saying monitor audios are the best, pero para sa preferences ko, mas nagustuhan ko sila. if the yamahas sound excellent for you, thats great! at least youve found speakers perfect for you. :)

Pano ka ba mag audition sir? AB comparison? San shop kaya yan sir? Better yet, share us your current set up para naman malaman namin kung ano preference mo or tase mo. Baka naman JJFad "Super Sonic" ginamit mong music for audition? Sa dinami dami kong na audition eh I can say, for its price range eh best yun MA.

i'd like to ask what equipment you used when you auditioned the MAs??? i do respect your "opinion" but please make sure that your comments are very constructive...you might end up like the other member here who has banned...anyway, care to share what equipment you used???...and what was your basis for concluding the MA sucks...
if you're telling us that yamaha sounds better...then by all means you can place the "positive" comments in the yamaha thread...
i noticed that this is your 1st post and yet it is already "eye-popping" and "pampataas ng kilay" for MA fans...
again, please do let us know about what equipment you used...baka naman you paired it with a mini-component...or used generic amps found in raon...a konka vcd player (vitamin-enriched)...some stock interconnects, etc...it is better to try it out in different systems/equipment before making any "harsh" judgement...and may i also ask where you audioned the MAs??? i hope because of its popularity and value for money eh hindi pinipirata ang MA...
...can you please enlighten us what you mean by "the fronts of MA are super bright"??? are the yamahas bookshelves or floorstanders???...and may i know what CD you used for the AB???...i'm very curious really on the equipment you used...
you're one lucky guy because you caught my attention...you caught our attention...congrats on your 1st post...you were quite successful in attracting attention...
we will wait for your response...peace! 8)
...might as well join us in our listening sessions for you too see and hear the difference...thanks! 8)
on behalf of all MA fans here in pinoydvd...thanks for your very "helpful" comments...hope to hear from you SOON 8)

I think a lot here have done AB comparisons before making their choices. If you've read through the thread, some have done side by side comparisons with brands like mission and wharfedales. What amps did you use?yamaha? denon? pioneer? hk? nad? rotel? sakura?
and of course its all about preferences, if you hate monitor audio speakers why don't you start your own thread and say how good your yamaha ns555's are, what amplification you are using with those speakers so you can expand the choices of people here so they can also give those speakers a try and do an AB comparison as well. drawing conclusions without proper basis is not a good thing.

If NS555 is that good, I will sell my B2. Why don't you join in at our listening session this coming 22nd, and bring in your equipment?
I've only compared it with mission, psb & ms speakers and i liked the sound characteristics of the ma. Or, I already need an audiometric test because my hearing is already impaired?
Join us, so we can hear your ns555, so we could discover a better speaker. :)

no need to worry, raycor...you've made a very good choice...do not be influenced by others' comments, feedback...what's important is YOU...how YOU want your music...how YOU want your movies sound...
this is a free country, we can always say whatever we want to say...pero mas maganda if merong "basis" di ba??? 8)
kaya do not despair, enjoy your MAs...thanks! 8)

raycor,
IMHO, the bronze series are the best budget speakers i have heard and auditioned..... like what superman had said, there's no need to worry.

sir, medyo stiff pa yung bass ng B4 ko but since less than 20hrs pa lang naman ang break in nun so may improvement yun diba sir? ok na ako sa highs nya malinaw kahit nung di pa na break in pero sa bass pa lang ako medyo bitin kasi stiff pa sya. patience pa for how many hours. thank you sir :)
-
btw guys, sa 'beyond' ba ang authorized distributors ng MA? i saw some MAB2's on the rear cabinet that has a waranty sealed of beyond innovation, but i checked on the site of MA's and discovered that 'audioworld tech inc' is the distributors of MA here in Phil., don ko po binili MA ko pero walang waranty seal.. ano comment nyo dito mga MA fans?
-
i already heard the slightly broken-in B4 (at archi audio then) and you might be surprise with the bass, gumagapang bass nyan, akala ko noon naka-on yung sub, gulat nga kami ng kaopisina ko... i forgot the title of the movie, but when there was one particular scene that has a lot of explosions, it simply rock the place...
it really made me think in getting those speakers... ::)

wait 'till you reach the 100th hour...enjoy the break-in period...you'll definitely notice the difference every hour of breaking it in! ;D

base from what i heard, sa ngayon dalawa ang authorized dealer satin, beyond innovations and audioworld. i think there still resolving who should be the exclusive distributor here...
mine came from archi audio which has a warranty from beyond innovations.

better check with archi audio...what i know is that audio world and beyond ang authorized...also, make sure to log-in at www.monitoraudio.co.uk and register your speakers...thanks again! 8)

gusto lang nya magpasikat kaya ganyan yan... kita mo, tahimik na... wala naman syang magandang basehan...
we should just ignore this guy, sayang na oras natin dyan...
james...relax...see a movie...hehehehe!... 8)

thanks sir superman, basta may waranty sila yun ang important para in case magkaroon ng problem, saak authorized dealer ang source unlike other items na u dont know refurbished na pala yung binigay sayo.. anyway, thanks again for the comment.

i also heared the broken in B4 bago ako bumili and it really sounds great, napansin ko agad yung bass nya gumapang agad, pero pag bago speakers, di ganon ang response nya na inasahan ko noon kung ano yung tunog sa audition, expect ko rin ang tunog sa bahay, pero di pala, break in pa pala, kakainip lang kasi sir ang tagal.. :) patience.. patience..

Mga tol hanga kayo sa monitor audio susme!!
We have tried all the models but we were upset!!!
Side by side comparison nmin sa shop pero marami kming di nagustuhan!! Like center nya ladeback tumunog para kang nakikinig ng may boundery o harang sa harap mo sayang lang gastos nyo dyan!!! Tapos yung fronts nya super bright! Compare lang namin sa yamaha na ns555 layo ng diperencya... hehehe... Try nyo audition with comparison sa ibang brand... yun bang AB comparison...

So you upgraded your speakers. Congrats! Are you still using the 1803 for the MA? How is it?

Just saw his post from another forum. Egay is from Listening in Style Shangrila.

Raycor,

From B4 owner po..

Raycor,
OT... sir how old is your denon?? just curious

I was just wondering if anyone has heard the GR20's? Unfortunately, I've checked and there aren't any for audition around. For order lang if ever. I'm also curious as to how power hungry they can be. Will a high current 120w amp for instance be able to handle the dynamics of the GR20?
Thanks in advance.

got to audition a GR10 at archi audio...used it with a push-pull tube amp...great speakers (although pricey)...i'd like to think that the GR20 can handle a 120w amp...just my 2-cents...thanks! 8)
-
Thanks superman. Just worried about it's 6 ohm nominal specifications. Should i decide to get them, I don't want my amp clipping and god forbid wrecking the speakers. :-[

hi guys,
tagal din napahinga ako sa pinoydvd. I just want to share my experience with my B2.... Day by day, upon hearing them, it always bring a smile to me... ;D i always feel or (hear) the improvement of the sound each passing day... i think its really approaching to its full potential...
minsan, kahit marinig ko yung ibang magagandang set-up, tapos pag-uwi ko, makikinig na ako sa bahay... masaya pa din ako... di talaga pahuhuli... i'm really happy dahil mukhang lilipas na yung SARS ko pagdating sa speakers....
i think that if ever mag-upgrade ako, malaki na yung price difference nung speaker na ipapalit ko (IMO) para ma-exceed yung performance ng B2 ko....
HK/MA all the way!!! ;D

If NS555 is that good, I will sell my B2. Why don't you join in at our listening session this coming 22nd, and bring in your equipment?
I've only compared it with mission, psb & ms speakers and i liked the sound characteristics of the ma. Or, I already need an audiometric test because my hearing is already impaired?
Join us, so we can hear your ns555, so we could discover a better speaker. :)
i went to listening in style (shangrila) the other day to investigate and to hear for myself the sound of the yamaha ns555...
the ns555 is a floorstander, i think 3 way sya kaya nde sya pwede macompare ng apple to apple sa B2... plus the fact nakakabit sya sa yamaha ht equipment... nde pa rin pwede makumpara... matching and everything in it...
i auditioned it, both movie and music... and all i can say (IMHO) is that i'll choose the B2 anytime of the day (kahit gabi o madaling araw)...
kanya-kanyang preference pa din naman... pero MA pa din ako...
-
Nephilim,
You won't have any problem driving the GR20... even its 6 ohms... as per tested B4 (91db / 6 ohms ) paired with Scott tube amp 13 watts rms plays music at loud volume maganda!!

James,
Pre nice to hear talagang you'll love B2/Hk sir.. same experience also everyday love to hear my setup relaxing talaga.. lalo na after a hard days work.. :D :D ;)

Thank you bro, I got na the B Center actually wala sa budget but I had to. Happy na happy ako at match na match na un fronts ko. The good thing w/ my B Center eh medyo nagamit na sa Architectural kaya d nako masyado mahihirapan mag break-in. Natatawa nga si Nico ayaw ko ng naka box at un pinili ko eh un ginagamit nilang pang demo.
Im planning na to sell my M&K speakers para B1 nalang MA all the way na. Mukang kailangan ko nga mag palit ng call sign to MA hehehe!

updates on my b2s.
they've indeed gotten better after two weeks of break-in. the highs have become mellower and the bass smoother yet still deep. i was listening to an earl klugh (acoustic guitar) cd when i got home last night and i thoroughly enjoyed it. very relaxing and took away work stress. very clear and detailed ang sound. you can even notice the subtleties when the fingers of the guitar player move up and down the fretboard.
on a side note, although i would recommed these to anyone looking for great speakers, they may not be for everybody. for me, they sound excellent for pop, jazz, classical, instrumental and orchestra music due to their very flat tonal characteristics and excellent mids. but they might not be for metalheads, grundge & hard rock fans. rock music tends to focus on the extreme highs and lows and if you play it considerably loud, the mids might end up to be too much for your ears with the bass still not enough to your liking. i noticed this when i was playing rock/metal cds (metallica and the like). but anyway, you cant expect rumbling bass from a bookshelf. reason why am hunting for a good sub to max my rock/metal listening experience :) :) :)
-
w00h00. i am t00 excited for this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tomorrow after lunch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks all for the congrats and to arch audio who let me audition it there, thanks nico and epoy ;D
sebman ayoko mag tube amp !!!!!!!
raymund i got the black !! idol kita eh, joke lang. peace :D
actually i wanted to take a risk on the beech (i actually want rosemah but they don't have) but i settled for the black na lang, safer if i wanna sell them again (unless everybody wants the beech color, ha ha ha)

james,
hk and ma perfect pair! hk provides the power and the b2 delivers the ooomph. dont get me wrong on my post, b2 has very good bass for a bookshelf and i would still choose it over the other speakers ive auditioned. siguro if it were perfect for rock music, it would not have been suitable for other kinds of music. as usual preferences pa rin ang deciding factor. u can't have the best of both worlds :) :)

Raycor,
So you upgraded your speakers. Congrats! Are you still using the 1803 for the MA? How is it?
sir, ok naman po combo between 1803 and B4 lalo na sa high pero medyo mahina pa bass nya. im still adding some dB's in the bass control to produce the low frequency. sa high nya sir ok sya malinaw at detailed. but im still inthe break in period pa. around 40hrs palang.. :)

ba't ganon. sa brochure at sa site nakasabi 7" woofer, pero nung mineasure ko 6" lang, 7" kasama yung chassis nya. daya !

superman, maraming salamat for being our gracious host... ganda ng napanalo kong CD!! what can i say about the S2: inggit ako!!
we were really impressed (and surprised) at the bass slam that these babies can produce. we started to joke that there must be a hidden sub somewhere in the room. syempre wala, it was just the 7" woofers. then there was the magic of vocals when paired with the 2A3 amp. impressive synergy from source to amp to speakers.
-
superman.. unanimous comment.. ganda daw talaga ng setup mo.. balita ko sa mga pumunta don sa listening session.. next time sana makasama ako.. thanks for the cds nga pala.. ;)

hi edboy7!
i'm glad you're interested in the B2 and the WS preamp...i suggest you start with speakers first...the B2 is an excellent starter speakers...for its price, it worth it!...re: audition, i'm afraid i will be very busy in the coming weeks...but who knows, baka we can squeeze it in kahit sandali lang...malapit ka lang naman pala eh...anyway, send me your contact number thru PM...makatindig-balahibong pakikinig???...that depends on you, bro...thanks! 8)
i'll try to schedule another listening session...i'll let you know if ever...thanks again! 8)

edboy,

james16, confirmed na ba dadalhin mo yung B2 sa sabado?? yehey!! can't wait to hear it... i bet it will be a great match with the sansui amp + WS preamp. if you liked the bass of the kenwood, you'll like the sansui even more. mas mabigat ang bass. sayang lang hindi ko nadala dahil sa bigat hehe.
-
roger,
text me sir what time tayo... lapit na pala..

James16,
Ayuz na ayuz! Parang alak, habang tumatagal lalong gumaganda! Im more inclind in audio, simula ng mag MA ako pero syempre once in a while movies din.
Regarding sa DVD25 pag nabenta ko un M&K speakers ko, shoot, pag hindi wala? M&K speakers kayo dyan mga brods! B1, well sakana siguro for rears, next year. Teka malapit na un ha! hehehehe....
-
Has anyone heard the GR20's in action? I'm curious as to the sonic differences between the GR20 and the S8/S10.

tamang-tama analogy, parang alak ang MA speakers... habang tumatagal lalo sumasarap... ;D ganyan din epek sakin, mas madalas ang audio kesa video... ;D ;D ;D
kelangan pala mabenta na m&k spkrs para dvd25, pero im sure maraming intersado dyan sa pkrs mo...
lapit na nga ang next yr, malapit ka na mag B1... ;D

i heard yung GR10 sa archi audio, very-very nice.... ;D
nde ko pa nakikita in action yung GR20/S8/S10...
-
Thanks James. I'm really torn on what speakers to upgrade to. I'm looking at 4 brands. On the side of MA, I'm thinking of the S8 or S10. Of course the GR20 is a consideration. Only problem is, I don't want to shell out that much dough if I can't even audition them.

no problem, and your right, iba talaga kapag na-audition mo and also kung match sa gears mo...

bro, suggest audition mo pareho sa spectra coz dala nila both brands

yup bro i did, mas detailed ang yammy sa highs/mid
yung HK naman warm and sound, medyo mahihirapan yung HK sa sala ko kaya i opted na sa yammy

mahihirapan ang hk? mas mahina ang power???

congrats with your yammy, nakapag-decide ka na ba kung MA na kukunin mong speakers...
ano bang model ng yammy kinuha mo? and what model of hk ang tinest mo at nasabi na mahihirapan sa sala nyo?
like what mdsaint3 asked : mahihirapan ang hk? mas mahina ang power???
-
nothing against the HK, ganda nga ng warm soothing sound lalo ng yung demo disc na ginamit,
my criteria kasi is for home theater 80% and 20%music,
very detailed yung high ng yammy lalo yung percussion demo disc na nilagay
nga pala i bought the yammy 440 for 14k flat
b2 is also perfect for the yammy imho
peace!

well, ok lang yan (and that was your set criteria, at least alam mo na hinahanap na sound) ... basta HT ok ang yammy... at saka mura sya compared to hk i think... mukhang kahit anong receiver pwede ang MA speakers... ;D ;D ;D

mga pren, eto gusto ko gawin sa listening session:
B2 and HK (with WS preamp vs. straight connect)
- first, i wanna hear the MA/HK combo!! also we can test the WS preamp with a receiver w/o main ins. i think the tricky part here is finding the right volume level on the WS preamp so that you can control the volume on the receiver with remote. james16 also told me he wants to hear how a DVD-Audio and SACD would sound on his HK. siguro bro iniisip mo bumili ng multi-format player tulad ng pioneer 667A.
B2 and sansui power amp (WS preamp vs. MF preamp)
- my pioneer dvd player has 2 audio outs, and my sansui integrated amp has 2 main ins. its a perfect setup for comparing 2 preamps -- you have the same source, same amp & same speakers... sana lang we can have the same interconnects. eto yung sinasabi kong Barrera vs. Pacquiao.
WS preamp and sansui power amp (B2 vs. 902)
- this is mainly to satisfy my curiosity. i want to hear how the B2 differs from my 902 coz i'm still on the lookout for speakers in my soon-to-be pure audio setup. the B2 and a few others are on my list of candidates. i expect the B2 to be better but i just need to compare it to a reference that i'm familiar with. later on if i compare my 902 to another speaker i might be able to estimate how it compares to the B2.
kayo ba sir, ano gusto niyo mapakinggan?
-
Saan po ba yang listening session? Maybe I can bring with me my 667A.

kelangan lang maconvince si nels76 na ipadala samin yung 912 nya sa sat. (nangangamba na baka madamage daw speakers nya kapag andun na, mabunggo or magasgasan daw) ;D
sana makasama sya at wag na pumasok, nakakasira ng pagbabarkada at listening session yang pagpasok eh... ;D ;D
gusto ko din sana marinig yung Hk/MA na ibang cable ang gamit... bka mas maganda pa...
-
Saan po ba yang listening session? Maybe I can bring with me my 667A.
sa ortigas po, malapit sa galleria... kelangan din ng interconnects for dvd-audio eh. ;D
-
... kelangan din ng interconnects for dvd-audio eh. ;D
Naku, yan ang wala ako, mas mahal pa yan sa DVD player... :P :o
I only have Php 30 worth of RCA cables. :'( :'( :-X :-[ :-\

philander, sa ortigas center malapit lang sa robinson... meron ako 733A pero curious ako dyan sa 667A mo maganda ang presyo! kung sakali mas ok kaya yan sa CD player? at least may flexibility pa maglagay ng TV.
OT na yata... basta finally mapapakinggan ko na rin ang B2 sa sabado. sana madala mo james16!
additional item for testing pala.... compare natin ang MF x10-d vs. WS preamp.

mga sir,
sino po sa inyo owner ng B4? i want to hear sana your set up pag nagpunta ako ng manila. medyo nabibitin kasi ako sa B4 ko, stiff ang bass nya. more or less 50hrs na sya na broken in face to face speaker method. diba mas mabilis ang pag break in pag ganon? di naman po siguro mahina ang receiver ko which is 1803? what do you think mga sir? or kulang pa ba yung hours? inip na ako.. :'(

si mr. hans adriene ang owner ng HK 5500 and B4... can't comment about your receiver kasi di ko pa narinig yang model na yan eh... also cable and cd also cud be the cause...
-
sa ortigas po, malapit sa galleria... kelangan din ng interconnects for dvd-audio eh. ;D
i will also bring several of my over 10 yr old audio technica interconnnects . pero gusto ko talaga ma-compare ung MS 912 sa MA B2... same class palagay ko :)

Can't wait to hear your setup... will you bring 914??
-

Akyat,
Di ba may Marantz7300 receiver ka? Baka pwede natin isama para marining ko ang effect ng WS preamp sa marantz.
Doon sa sketch mo, yon bang bldg na nasa corner ng emerald at ortigas?

jvm, yup pwede natin isama marantz. wala din main ins yun eh, so ang options lang ay 7.1, CD or AUX ins. iba talaga hk5500 ni hans parang separates. ganun din ba ang NAD?
tama pre, yung nagiisang cement building sa dulo ng emerald nearest ortigas ave.
ayus kasama si arnoldc, pm me na lang sir.
gusto niyo ba mas maaga para makapag-setup? after lunch pa daw darating si narayan, siya may dala ng preamps. pa-deliver na lang tayo ng tsibug.
-
akyat, yung T752 meron amp inputs (diba mains in eh yung power socket?) for the front three channels, while yung T762 meron amp inputs for all channels.
jvm, yup pwede natin isama marantz. wala din main ins yun eh, so ang options lang ay 7.1, CD or AUX ins. iba talaga hk5500 ni hans parang separates. ganun din ba ang NAD?

yes, bro...the NAD has a separate AMP IN similar to the HK 5500...thanks! 8)
-
ayy sori, my mistake... "amp in" is a better term pala, thanks superman & v0elker.
sa mga japanese specs kasi they call an integrated amp a "pre/main" amp, so they call a power amp a "main amp". kaya tuloy they call the inputs "pre-in" and "main-in".... haaay its a confusing term pala kasi its so similar to "mains-in" which is the power socket.
-
Meron ata tayong bagong recruit sa MA club... Audioslave pa ramdam ka sir...
-
Excited to hear the MA B2 tomorrow of James 16 connected to Narayan's MF Pre-amp and WS Pre-Amp.
Wow. This is one event that shouldn't be missed.
The B2 bomber is at the Ortigas Area. Alert. Alert.

IMHO better to use interconnect than a speaker wire.
-
IMHO better to use interconnect than a speaker wire.
in my case, i use 12 gauge audio pro speakers which cost me less than PhP 100/meter.
hth. :)
-
(L)les,
I use Ixos 6003 as jumpers...
-
actually i cannibalized my eichmann express 2s, used them as jumpers and found that the highs were cleaner without them. i'd like to use the qeds pero naka banana terminate na and they're exactong 3 meters. so it would be more of a hassle to cannibalize them. too bad i can't find any more of them. =/
-
hello MA fans, i heard the B2 for the 1st time last weekend. galing ng tunog mga sir! it's very detailed & airy without being bright because there's body in the mids & low mids. if you're on a budget and you want all the details to be "there", MA should be in the list. its so detailed you could hear the air in the singer's throat, parang dumidig-hay as superman commented when we were at his place.
-
Akyat,
Musta sir have you decided?? hehehehe
-
naku sir... alin ba ibig mo sabihin na decided, sa speakers o sa preamp? haaaaay... alam mo sir, gusto ko talaga sila lahat, kaso di pwede bilihin lahat. kaya nga para ma-enjoy ko sila lahat, ang proposal ko sa inyo eh mag swap tayo ng isang buwan tapos rotate... hehe.
-
Akyat,
Teka ako na ngayon ang di maka-decide hehehe ???
-
decided on what bros? sars na nman? hehehe

i agree room size is a factor, if you have a small room - get the B2, use the savings for a good sub ;)
if its a big room - get the B4, but still - save up for a good sub ;D
-
Kimpao,
Delivered na ba pre yan B4 mo???
-
Kimpao,
Delivered na ba pre yan B4 mo???

Congrats sa mga new members ng MA Club!
OT: Has anyone tried the HK-DVD25 w/ HK AVR + MA(B2 or B4)? Try nyo mga brods, for HT no questions asked for music patok na patok! Para syang dedicated na CD player.
Wala lng just want to share...

mk mukhang ok yan bro! feedback naman bro since am still scouting around for a nice player to complement my audio set-up
sa mga ma club members, salamat!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

sebman,
Thanks bro, actually I just want to try it muna w/ my set-up so I asked Nico of Architectural if I can barrow a unit of DVD25, so he did. After 3 days of testing eh akalain mo ayaw ko na ibalik! I used Audience Conductor nga pala for the interconnect, plug in the Analog out of DVD25 going to my HK-AVR CD in. GANDA pare!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Actually I was in the same situation. I cant afford to have a separate CD player so I was looking for a DVD player w/c will complement my crave for Audio. Ayun DVD25 is the answer. I paired it w/ my HK5500 & B4, all I can say is WOW! Na complement na nya un crave ko for audio. Im still in the break-in stage nga pala sa B4 so im expecting a lot pa.
But I would suggest that you audition first syempre. Kanya kanyang preference yan ika nga.

ang lupit mo bro ganda set up pure HK tapos MA dagdagn pa WS ................wat can u say mga bro
-
Naiintriga na nga ako dyan sa WS Pre Amp nayan eh...

cousin skeeter,
You may call Architectural Audio for the price 8116715
-
bro mk,
when u have to call the dealer for the price, it usually means its expensive. just kidding, hehehe.
-
cousin skeeter,
D naman hehehe, anyway sorry mga brods medyo na OT pero MA,HK As Close As It Gets!
-
mk,
di nman tayo OT siguro since hk/ma naman ang discussion, hehe. anyway, how would you describe improvement in the sound coming out of your B4s (para di ma OT) compared to playing from your old dvd player? what was your old dvd player pala?

cousin skeeter,
Im not an audiophile so i'll just explained it the way I experienced it. May DVD player before is JVC DV-N33. Ok naman sya but alam mo namay ibubuga pa un B4, just like un may nag post dto na parang may harang daw sa harap mo? pero d naman ganon kapangit ha in fairness sa JVC. When I used the DVD25, mas gumanda un imaging & sound stage nya. Parang mamahaling cd player? Mas ma detalye sya ngayon.
Post ko observation ko pag na break-in na un B4 & Audience Conductor interconnects ko. I know may ibubuga pa.
-
thanks bro! B4 din sana gusto ko kaya lang hindi talaga kaya. but am pretty satisfied with the B2 naman. cant waith for my BCenter to arrive this week. long live the Bees!!! hehe
-
sino kaya ang may b6 dito? does anyone have these babies? ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
wala atang nirelease dito sa pinas pagkaalam ko sa japok lang 8)
-
mga MA fans, mine is more than 50hrs of break in na at mas lalong ma detalye na. bass buo na di gaya noon na manipis. pero one thing na napansin ko sa cabinet nya is hindi sya real wood like the polkaudio speakers. yun bang may cover sya, i dont know the name of that material but its ok since MDF naman ang wood nya. does anyone tried to open the B4 how it looks like inside? curious po kasi ako so. i think the upper driver is a passive radiator and the lower driver is the midbass if im not mistaken. pls correct me if im wrong with this mga guys, thanks.. :)

bro, sent you pm. tnx
-
bro, na-audition mo yung b6? :)
-
bro, na-audition mo yung b6? :)
unfortunately dehins. napadaan lang kasi sa store.

Audioworld i think is the MA importer. Baka puwedeng kayong umorder ng b6 sa kanila.
-
MK,
congrats pre LUPET!! talaga...Idol ka 8) 8)
Kimpao,
Bili na ng cable parang sabay ang break in sa B4 mo.. ;D
-
sana rin maglabas ng color yung B2 tulad ng b6
kung mag labas ito, 100% sure na ako, mamatay man ang kapitbahay ko! ito ang bibilhin kong speakers!
-
kimpoy, para mukhang s2 kung tulad ng b6, wag mo lang alisin yung grill. aheheheheh ;D

Hans, yup i know that why frontrunner siya sa choices ko sa speakers.
but also i have to compromise, kasi mga furnitures ni misis kulay b6 eh.
match sana.
-
kimpoy,
pre kung magpush thru yan B6 mo.. baka first ka magkaroon hehehhee.. ::) ::)
-
Hans,
out of budget ang B6. ( i have other hobbies eh)
hanggang B2 lang ako. rosemah (reddish/maroon brown) sana gusto ko sa b2 and Bcenter
-
kimpoy,
Ok lang yan... kung rosemah naman first ka pa rin hehehe.. most of us have black or beech.
-
oks na oks yan rosemah... parang "rose, my mamahhh"... hehe, rosewood stain on mahogany finish ganda niyan. tagal ko na tinanong kung kelan magkakaroon, siguro nasa less than 10 pages pa lang itong thread.

i can attest to that too. my b2s are sounding better now. actually i can push the treble of my hk to full and not experience harshness. before it was pretty harsh and very stiff bass. i went to our dealer here last night and listened again to b&w601s powered by an onkyo501 and did the same when i got home using the same cd (yanni, tribute). they sounded very much alike, very soothing sound. except that the b2 had better bass. although i wont attest that they sound better than b&ws, especially if compared to a 602, but at half the price, theyre worth every peso.
-

James16,
Thank you, dapat nga mag palit nako ng handle? Nabenta ko na un M&K ko kaya ayan DVD25. I understand sa Architectural meron WS preamp right? Guto ko nga rin marinig, base dun sa kabilang thread eh mukang all praises sa WS preamp kaya curious din ako.
Iceman,
Musta na? Hindi naman sa lamang yan, what matters is that your satisfied w/ your set up no matter what gears you have hehehehe!
Hans,
Thanks bro!

CS di ko ginagamit yong tone in lagi lang ako naka tone out especially kapag vocals ang pinakikinggan ko mas maganda pakinggan kc balance yong high, mid and bass at halos totoong boses ang lumalabas.....

same here bro if i listen to acoustic and classical, no tone ako. but when listening to rock and pop, hindi completo without the extreme highs and lows. if my sub arrives this afternoon,dtx 4.10, might be rockin tonight, hehehe.

congrat pre sa bagong sub hehehe sa una lagi nakabukas sub nyan pero pag nagtagal let your B2 handle that ;D ;Dsabi nga malambing na parang hinahagod MAUI AND RICA ;D

Hi guys,I have question thats been nagging me for the past couple of nights now and I hope you guys can help me out.I was really bent on getting the b&w 602 s3 but evrsince james and a lot of you ma users advise on another thread,I am really getting confused.so heres the deal .supposing that price is not a consideration and they are priced the same.would you honestly still go for a montor audio b2 or b4 instead of a B&W 602 s3 and why.how about the monitor audio S2 vs B&W 602 s3.comments please,thanks

good question. i hope the people here can answer. isn't the s2 more expensive than the 602s3 ?

my honest opinion on the comparison of the 3:
b&w 602s3 MA B2 MA S2
looks 1 3 2
bass 1 3 2
clarity 3 2 1
value 3 1 2
flexibility 3 2 1
my opinion - B2 is the best buy, S2 would be nice to have :)
but my ratings on value did not follow your instructions to disregard price... in my case price is always a factor
-
bigbird,
all three speakers have their strengths and i don't think you can go wrong with any of them. but if you can afford the 602s3 or the MA S2, better audition them both. i was able to auditon the 602S3 way back before it got sold by our dealer here and it sounded verrry good too. ako i would've gotten the MA S2 myself if it was within reach, but like iceman, getting the most bang-for-the-buck is a major consideration for me. :)

you mean to say the bass of the 602s3 is better than on the s2 ?
-
Bigbird,
If they have all same price mmhh medyo lugi ata B2 sa S2 pre since pero between 602 and S2 I go for S2 balance performance for me but still have not heard the 602 pero for price B2 ang da best on the 3 speakers pre..IMHO :D

hi der,
sorry for the delayed response medyo limited access ng internet sa ofis eh kya ngayon lang ako nakasagot... ;D
well, i remember when we met at archi audio and you were considering about speakers that you may place near the wall, i think B2 would be best not only in value (sorry for the consideration) but the B2 is front ported, so that will solve yuor case.... btw, have you gotten your projector na?
i know that the s2 is rear ported, although I am not sure about the 602s... I haven't heard the B&W 602, but i heard the 601 before.... its good but ope you won't mind, but IMHO, i find the B2 more appealing to me... certainly value for money...
also I might go for the B4 since I like its bass reproduction, heard it at Archi Audio then when it was starting to be broken-in na... para ka ng may subwoofer...
but its still goes down with proper matching of ht equipment, and room acoustics... try to audition them and let your ears decide.... only you or your friend would be able to decide... the longer that you can listen and enjoy the music, the better....
that only means you made the right choice... no more what ifs....
IMHO, i did and I'm proud and happy with the gears that I have...
HK/MA All the Way!!!! ;D ;D ;D

hoy iceman...panget ka!...S2 pa rin, hehehehe...joke lang! 8)
as for me, it will actually depend on the amp you have/you're getting...of course, if it's a SET, i'd go for the B2 or S2...don't have experience yet with the B&W 602s3...although i heard from a friend that for push-pull and for SS, it's a great buy...
but (this is ME), i am still biased with the MAs because of it's flexibility (tubes or SS)...S2 - a nice to have??? i agree...but for best buy, it's really the B2...but i still prefer the "punch" of the S2 vs. the B2 as i do not use a subwoofer for audio pleasure
iceman, peace tayo ha, hehehehehehe! merry christmas ha! ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D
as for the other factors that iceman considred (ie. clarity, etc.), i may not be able to comment at this time since it's still in break-in stage...i use it only every weekend...maybe by january it's broken in already...
thanks and merry christmas to all!

bigbird,
how bout going separates? yamaha/wharf for HT and NAD/MA S2/WS Preamp for audio? IMHO, for HT nothing beats yamaha. Youll be getting the best of both worlds ;D ;D
HT
pioneer dvd player 8,000
yamaha 440RDS 14,000
wharf 8.4 (front) 8,300
wharf 8.1 (surrounds) 4,500
wharf center 3,700
wharf center Back 3,700
velodyne sub 25,000
------------
67,200
that leaves you with 53K for audio. If I had your budget *sigh*, i would choose this route ;D ;D
update: yey!!!! just got my dtx 4.10 and b center! damn that sub is heavy! therell be some pretty angry neighbors tonight for sure, hehehe

i agree with you superman. :) MA, mapa Tube or SS very flexible ;D
cousin skeeter
nice suggestion bro, rather go for separates since you really can't have the best of both worlds rolled into one setup.
-
Bigbird,
Better go separates.. tube for audio tapos SS for HT.. :D :D
cousin Skeeter,
congrats pre on you new Bronze Center.. like james said tsaga lang sa break in... pati sa Sub mo ganda yan.. :D
-
Bigbird,
Better go separates.. tube for audio tapos SS for HT.. :D :D
SS na lang ako plus WS preamp para ka na rin may tube (tunog tubo naman e)di ka na palipat lipat at PAKABIT KABIT ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Hans di kita kinokontra practical lang peace MERRY CHRISTMAS ;D ;D ;D ;D

mga bosing
anyone here using the stock jumpers on their MA's? ok lang ba if i use spare speaker cables for the jumpers?
another thing, gumawa kasi ako ng jumpers using yung sobra na cable na binili ko. problem is malaki na masyado para sa butas nung binding post. was only able to fit a short length of the two cables. would using a spade terminal be ok or mas maganda ba kung bare wire? :)
-
i'm not using the stock jumpers, gamit ko putol ng eichmann express 2. if it won't fit use spades, i don't see any harm in that, pero siyempre mas maganda pa rin bare wire. pagkasyain mo na lang. hehehe.
thanks and enjoy. :D
-
I also replaced the jumper of my B2s with ecosse wire. I used banana plugs to do this, because the hole of the post is just enough for a single wire of ecosse.
-
congrats pare on your set-up malupit yan..... heheheh enjoy... ;D ;D ;D naku, B centre (konting tyaga sa break-in nyan).... ;D ;D ;D
Matagal nga i-break-in ang bronze center. 1 month na center ko pero di pa fully broken in. Lalo na weekends lang akong nanonood.
Gaano katagal bago nyo marinig na clarong-claro na ang center niyo?
-
Jvm,
Pre mine also needs break in pa only use it 3x but can hear improvement na..
-
congrats pare on your set-up malupit yan..... heheheh enjoy... ;D ;D ;D naku, B centre (konting tyaga sa break-in nyan).... ;D ;D ;D
pre james, hans,
tnx! yeah, parang muffled talaga yung center but i bi-wired it (as per suggestion ni sebman, thanks bro!) and it wasnt as bad as i expected from what ive read here but very noticeable ang sound difference from my broken in b2s. my b2s now really sing! hehehe. with the bass handled by the sub (i set it to the lowest freq setting for it to handle the lowest bass) enjoy na enjoy na talaga ako ngayon. actually late na nman ako sa office :(
anyway, whenever i play music, i do it with 3chan stereo with the center having a little higher db setting para faster ang break-in time. instructed them at home to to do the same whenever they wanted to listen to music.
will also be getting my diamond surrounds soon from a guy whos upgrading to MA, hehehe. 6 months used na so even better para no more break in period. :) :) :)

ayos na ayos yan at makukumpleto mo na set-up mo!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
buti na lang anjan si sebman at hans adriene, mga gurus natin dto.... ;D
ika nga, happy holidays!!!!

J_albert,
Pre hows your B2?? broken in na ba. was experimenting on the placement yesterday hehehe no sure thought if it improved but will give you feedback pre.

ok na clear na clear very detail one thing i discover to the net also put line conditioner to speaker wire it help to produce more clearing, detail sound ;D ;D sorry ha di ko nakuha o nasave yong web page :P
-
J_albert,
Anong line conditioner yan??
-
J_albert,
Anong line conditioner yan??
mga bosing, share naman diyan kung ano yan. ;D ;D ;D
-
hi guys!
i don't know if i get it right but a line conditioner is supposed to be used to "trim" the AC spikes and noise in our outlets caused by other appliances, computers, etc...
baka naman ferric filter yan, yung kina-clamp sa cables and ICs...using these can either improve or degrade the sound of your system...it all depends on matching...
if you have ecosse and eichmann cables, i suggest you do not use them...i do not know for the other cables...thanks!
-
James,
Almost ;D ;D there... musta yun B2 mo?? pre don't forget the nel76 cd hehehe ok yan sa new year!!
kuya, ;D
medyo napahinga B2 ko at busy sa trabaho... :(
gusto ko nga sana mabroken-in na para mawala na yung speakers kapag makikinig ako ng music... ;D
-
J_albert,
Baka naman yun tulad ng sabi ni Superman.. yan???
James,
Kapatid.. gamitin na gamitin para lumuwag agad... este mag open ang sound... ;D

Muntik na rin akong nakabili ng filter na yan. Ferric filter pala ang tawag diyan. 150 each sa Electronics Depot, Festival Mall. Kaya lang noong sinubukan ko sa IC nila kung may maririnig akong improvement, wala naman akong narinig kaya di na ako bumili.

Could be, as I don't have a golden ear. ;D
Superman,
Are you using such filters? What could be other benefits besides sonic improvement? Maybe there would be improvement if all IC's and speaker cables are fitted with one?
-
i have one of those TDK clamp-type ferrite filters that you can attach to any cable... its been with me for 10yrs but i haven't really confirmed whether it has any effect (dunno how). i read that they're supposed to absorb electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) on cables.

Superman,

pare, no i don't use them as this will degrade the sound using analysis plus oval 12 cables...i've tried them before with ecosse, didn't notice any improvement...thanks! 8)
-
Good to know. Buti na lang I had the courage to say no to the salesman, because he lend me a DTS-ES cd, I almost bought a pair. We really have to trust our ears. If you can't hear any difference, don't buy it, no matter how good the salesman/others may say.
-
J_albert,
Anong line conditioner yan??
line conditioner gamit namin d2 sa work hiniram ko lang compose off ferrite core and connected to long wire use to transmit digital signal. noon linagay ko may improvement naman e .....syan pala i use US made conventional wire(look like eccose wire) gauge 16 (three wire per speaker terminal)
-
Just to clarify things a little (nagmamarunong lang po - eheheh :P ;D )
To protect your electronic appliance from voltage spikes , you need an Automatic Voltage Regulator (servo type AVRs are the best) - works great in this country as we have lots of power fluctuations, maghapon at magdamag.
To protect your unit from Interference (RFI and/or EMI), you need the ferrite clamp (some of us call it the RFI clamp, ewan ko kung bakit di rin natawag yang EMI clamp). You can do the clamping on your interconnects or on you power cables. Some clamps are used on the speaker cables. Maganda raw to if you do the clamping on both ends of the cables.
To protect your unit from Interference part 2, we also have the AC Line Conditioner. Inaayos nito ang incoming at basag-basag (unclean) na sinusuidal AC wave.
You may also want to try the hospital grade power cord. We can actually have this thing DIYed but some of the materials are somewhat hard to find... it includes the plug, the snake-skin shield (we sometimes call this balat-ahas), the power cord (that's silver wire), the cable ferrite clamp, shrinkable tube - don't forget the twist. HyperAudio can do this for you, tawag nila dito stiffy.
Everything I mentioned here have already been discussed somewhere in the forum.
;) ;D
Pag meron ka nito lahat (with all those clamps, overkill na yan - heheh
BTW, I've heard the stiffy sing - auditioned it with isak and julsp - mas magkaka-detalye talaga. ;D ;D ;D

peace tayo iceman90a ;D ;D ;D pero kung 2k to 3k price difference di naman siguro ganun kalakihan.
pm mo naman kung magkano kuha mo sa stands :) may bago akong project eh!
-
Guys,
Question how many degree you toe in your speaker?? naguguluhan ako eh..
Teka gulo dun sa kabila dami masyadong magaling..
-
saan kabila ?
-
peace tayo iceman90a ;D ;D ;D pero kung 2k to 3k price difference di naman siguro ganun kalakihan.

tawag ka na lang kay Mang Jun, depende naman kasi sa oorderin mo eh - with regards to the price difference, you be the judge ;)
-

i agree that mas mura ang B2 with the stands, but you definitely will get more bass with the B4.... pareho naman monitor audio yan, kaya ok lang... ;D
HK/MA All The Way!!!
-
thanks mga bosing! ;D i'll try to contact Mang Jun, naka post na man yung contact number dun sa inbang thread.
"As close as it gets" :)
-
James,
Parang mas ok ang B2 for me sir.. bookshelf are good in imaging lalo na if got the right placement wowow!! tapos buy a very stable stand.. :D :D
-
Focusing speakers by toeing in is a matter of trial and error. Although there are guides such as staring at 10 degrees in, room acoustics and personal preference will affect the amount. Typically as well, soundstage tends to narrow while off-axis response deteriorates. Imaging can improve but sweet spot tends to shrink.
These trade offs will determine your proper speaker placement in your room with your preferences.
Hope that helps...
-
Ganjaman,
Yes sir.. i'm still experimenting on the placement coz one placement maybe ok for some music but not good for another.. patience talaga sa tweaks hehehe
-
peeps,
raycor is selling his b4 sa assrt buy and sell. or b2 + 10K daw to finance his upgrade. bili na!!!!
forgive my ignorance but how do you make sure speakers dont fall off when you place them on stands? will be getting stands for my b2s after christmas kung wala na christmas tree.
-
Ganjaman,
Yes sir.. i'm still experimenting on the placement coz one placement maybe ok for some music but not good for another.. patience talaga sa tweaks hehehe
usually when i change speaker positions, i'd like to leave them there for a week - so i can get used to how they sound. this way any change in sound from changing the speaker placement will be more apparent. so you're right - patience...
ingat sa kakabuhat ng speakers ;)
-
Iceman,
Thanks oo nga better 1 week kasi minsan minutes lang hehehe change ulit.. ;D ;D
-
Spaeker placement is the most cost effective tweak I know. costs nothing and sonic benefits can be immense.
As for keeping speakers on the stands, RUGBY.
Joke lang.
Buy BLUE-TAK in National Bookstore. It's a disposable adhesive that's like clay. Put about 4 pea-sized amounts in each corner of the stand.
-
ganjaman,
thanks bro. anyone know kng magkano ngayon 29" stands? and which would be best for B2?
-
Pinsan,
Check out Jun Reyes's stands... two thumbs up!! Check out the thread in General. Or you can drop by at ArchAudio... they sell some.
-
ganjaman,
thanks bro. anyone know kng magkano ngayon 29" stands? and which would be best for B2?
check also hometheater.. they sell mission look-alike stands.. ;D ;D i got mine from them.. :)
-
It really depends on your listening position i.e. yung height nung sofa or chair. Ideally, the tweeter should be at ear level. I used 29" with my B2, worked fine. BTW, it's for sale :) :)
-
The 29" stand or the B2? ;)
-
Either or both. It's a Lovan Affinity 29" stand. Details of both are in the Assorted thread. ;)
-
ganjaman,
if it was offered at the lowered price before, siguro i couldve gotten from you :). anyway, how much for the stands only?
-
hans adriene,
mukhang malapit na mag-break-in speaker ko... mga 10 hrs pa ng continuous playing cguro pa.... ;D makapag-ipon din ng pambili ng stand ni jun reyes...
-
James,
Ok yan pre.. yun MA B4 ko i think is 85% broken in na have notice that sweeter na yun vocals and highs are little open and much smoother.. text me sir on when i can get the cd and thanks in advance hehehe... Merry Christmas.. ;D

sir hans, mine is now in better response, yung bass dati na sinasabi ko na stiff, now its getting smoother and lower in response. but my problem is, I need to swap it with MA B2 for my integrated amp prospect. the B4's are like something there was a sub hiding behind my system. i really love my B4's but cant afford an integarated amp if i dont sacrifice my B4's. i think B4 alone is = to B2+sub? what do you think? so I could produce some funds for the amp, i got already my DIY sub. alam mo kuya when the B4's are in good response na, di na ako nag su-sub. can i have your opinion sir about my plans? im in a very tight budget kasi. thanks...

yan ang hirap sa tight buget hehehe tsaka maraming nadidinig at higit sa lahat lagi kang nagbabasa dito sa thread ..... ito ang tinatawag na SARS SSSSSSSSSSS

Kuya Hans tinatanong ka ni raycor.
Ano masasabi mo?
-
Raycor,
Pre kung integrated amp can buy NAD 320BEE and Rotel RA-02 around 13k to 15k both are high current amp and will provide you lot's of very good, detail, crisp and loud music.. both amp also produce music on the warm side or another option mo is mga preowned units i sure marami magupgrade ng amp ( yun kay Crisel Rotel MAGANDA!) may plugging pa...kahit wlang sub ok na yan B4 mo konting break in pa.. wag na benta B4 sayang pre.. kung bitin sa budget the best is surplus amps. 8) 8)
Nel76,
Kuya nelson ingit ako sa iyo kasi ganda ng DVD21 mo and was able to audition it yesterday and ang GANDA!! wowowow!!..

agree ko kay hans. dont sell the b4s. better get a surplus amp for now. youll miss the bass of your b4s if swap them for b2s. dont downgrade pre, baka magsisi ka. check out the surplus amps thread and list out the preferred amps that sir akyat had been mentioning; i.e. sansui, marantz, integra. good thing with surplus amps is that you can resell them again at the price you bought them and when you have addtl money for your target amp at least you wont have to upgrade to floorstanders again.
-
Raycor,
Let your room dimensions and requirements determine whether you'll will keep the B4's. I've heard them in a bit of a confined space and I found it boomy and congested. It needed room to breathe. There's such a thing as having too much speaker. Likewise, I've heard the B2's in a more spacious listening area and was found wanting a bit more low end. Bigger is better if the room can take it.
The good thing with going with bookshelves and adding a sub further on is that you can, to some extent, tune your bass to the shape of your room/space by moving the sub around.
On the question of amps, I say TS Audio 34.1 at P17,XXX over the NAD and the Rotel. A bit pricier BUT it's an integrated valve amplifier in Single End Pentode, nuff said...
Good luck with that. :D
-
that was a great help from you sir ganjaman, now i am thinking of how to dispose my DIY sub rather than the B4's. i dont have much idea of a valve amp, OT sir but can I have some specs and characteristics of the TS AUDIO 34.1? can it drive the B4? how about a 9watts tube amp, does it match the potential of the B4? I was thinking of a bi amp method, correct me sir if this is an ideal, is it nice to use two amp, let say a 3 watts tube amp connected to the HF of the B4 and a solid state amp of at least 30watts connected to the LF of the B4? just wandering lang sir kung maganda ba tong method na ito? para separate yung amp ng HF and LF, para full bodied yung B4? i apologize my ignorance.. :)
-
raycor,
pre, scott tube amp match diyan sa b4. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
push-pull sir...
-
sir yukon sent u pm.

Raycor,
Scott din ako for push pull... and i agree with Sir Kimpao scott even at 13 watts can drive the B4 with gusto!!..

Correct ka dyan sir!!

thanks guys for the inputs, sir bakit sabi sa thread ng tubes eh low wattage daw ang SET pero sweet sounding, then push pull has more power but not as sweet as SET? tama po ba yun? :)
sir juls, answered your pm sir
sir hans, magkano po ba scott push pull? kelan ka bilili? dalaw ulit ako sa inyo sir pag may scott ka na ha? joke po, kung pede ulit:)
-
raycor, i think sir Rene of HyperAudio is selling one (30k ata). Kaso 299-C pero fully restored and 30 watts yun sir (sir check mo nalang yung threads niya sa wirestate! more than enough, mine kasi is 222-A 13 watts ;D ;D

Try to audition first a push pull amp. They say it is not as sweet sounding as a SET but listen to it first. I used to own an 18W Scott and it can easily drive my B&W603. A member's description is " binabalibag lang ang B&W ng Scott ". Rene has several Scott on sale.
-
Raycor,
Sir malabo pa siguro ako mag buy ng scott due to budget hehehe.. as our mod and fellow members advised better audition both Scott and SET tube amps.. kanya kanya silang characteristics sa sound. :D :D ako love the sound of Scott and 300B set sir..
-
to sir Levi, sir Kimpao and kuya Hans,
thanks guys for helping and endorsing on those warm gear, let me visit sir Rene of hyper para marinig ko mga tube na yan. dont have much idea talaga on tubes, esp yung mga replacement or yung mga number ng mga tubes kung ano mga characteristics. anyway guys i'll keep on posting on what gear would best match for the B4's, for my taste. basta monitoraudio parin 'as good as it gets'..Happy holiday guys.. :) :)

Pre since first time mo.. ok ang vintage amp na integrated coz di mahirap sa matching ng speakers and is easy as plug N play na SS amp.. IMHO..

vintage amp is not your only option. you may want to get WS projects like the TB2a3 SET (2wpc) or WS integrated SEP/SET amp(min. of 8wpc). The TB2a3+WS 'tono' preamp combo is a match made in heaven! your b4 has 91db sensitivity, thus could be driven at a satisfactory level by the tb2a3. if youre not in a hurry, wait for the integrated amp for more power. Goodluck! you have all the time to audition gears to match your b4.
PM if you want to audition the tb2a3+tono preamp combo with your b4. ;)

To kimpoy,
Galing ako kanina kay hyperaudio sabi nya gawa ng UK pa rin ang Monito Audio unlike ng B&W China na at Mission ay Malaysia. Di ko lang na audtion kasi still in the box pa pero yung S2 niya nadining ko very impressive while playing Tchaikovsky parang katabi ko lang yung orchestra. I'm planning to buy the B2 on January 2004 kasi mura kay hyperaudio kaso wala syang charge for credit card :(
I'm thinking to buy B&W DM303 sana pero nag bago na isip ko, impress talaga ako sa tunog ng Monitor Audio. :)

-
hello,
Newbie ko d2 sa forum....but I've been a fan of MA's wayback in 2000 ng ma-auditon ko sya sa Singapore,super ang clarity..Silver 5 series yung na-audition ko available ba yan d2? how much kaya? will it sound great with a DENON1803 receiver? or yung mga Bronze series okei kaya yun sa Denon? I just noticed that most of yu is having it with a HK...what other amp ba na ka-level ng 1803 pricewise and features wise? Thjanks syensya na dami tanong :)

heard it connected to a HK and marantz and it sounded good.. i suggest if possible, if ure here in manila.. audition it at architectural audio or spectra in makati.. accoustical space in megamall.. or soundroom in podium... they carry both MA and denon.. happy auditioning.. :)

Hi! I'm a newbie in the HT hobby and pls. bear with my rather dumb question. :)
At the back panel of the B4, each polarity ("+"= red and "-" =black ) has two tabs the HF and LF. I'm quite confused where I'm supposed to stick my speaker wires to. For a couple of weeks now, I stuck the ecosse 2.3 white wire to the HF of the "-" = black tab and the red wire to the LF of the "+" =red tab, is this correct? Then today, for no reason, i decided to stick all of the wire ends to HF sides for both polarities. My question is, which method is the correct one? Will it damage my speakers if, in case, I didnt stick it properly? ??? Btw, I have been using it for 56.5 hrs already.
-
number1..
i think you need to biwire your speakers correctly..
you should attach a wire to the HF posts (red to red, black to black) and another set to the LF posts... then at the other end join all the reds and blacks to your amp's corresponding binding posts
if you dont want to biwire i think your present connection is ok since the copper plate sends a signal to the LFs anyway...
-
p.dividdy2,
thanks for the reply! currently i am not yet bi-wiring my set-up (just using the ecosse 2.3 on its own), so you're saying that i should just put the wire ends to the HF posts for both polarities, right?
-
number1,
I do not see anything wrong with what you did or what you are doing as long as the jumpers of the speaker terminals are still connected.

Try this upgrade. Replace the copper jumper with a short ecosse wire. It did wonders with my system , it might also work for you plus you dont spend anything.

yap...
"+" connectors of HF and LF should be shorted
"-" connectors of HF and LF should also be shorted
(using "recognized" good sounding cables like ecosse will really solve that problem)

hi guys!
happy new year!
as V_D suggested during the listening session the other day, i am now using ecosse cables for the binding post (for the bi-wire)...noticed immediately an improvement especially in the bass...also, V_D mentioned that the (+) of the speaker cables should be placed on the "high" positive (red) while the (-) of the speaker cables be placed on the "low" (black)...there was again an audible improvement...thanks sir V_D for the suggestions!
will post pictures later...

i'll just did that, put the red positive on the hf and the black negative on the lf. i think the bass increased and the treble increased too.

to all MA bronze owners, have you tried removing the tweeter grills? :o was able to check with MA website's FAQ section. Pwede raw, eh! Hmmm. ::) Any comments on this?
-
I red this on the web but not that confident to do that.... :-\ :-\ :-\

-

yup, i too wasn't that confident. hawak ko na yung wire to pull it out kaso baka may mangyari na di kanainais. ;D
would their be such difference in sound if one removes it?
-
greetings from the one-eared....aahh..one :D !
my left ear can now hear about 90%..muffled pa rin pero i can hear the left channel better than the other day na super labo talaga..so i fired up my set-up.. btw am using a yamaha rx-v596a avr..
first impression was the b2s clarity and i thought i was happy with the diamond 8.1.. iba talaga..
1. yung strings sa gitara ni Joe Pass parang bagong palit..
2. listened to John Mayer's inside wants out album.. the guitar also parang bago ang strings...vocals clear talaga with weight..
3. tried max weinberg 7... swing album ito.. gumanda din! horns were distinguishable and the toms were resonating with weight..
4. i also listened to kenny loggins redwoods concert na dati i thought the mix was not that good..turned out my old speakers was the one that was not good ehehe!
ganda ng speakers na to..paano pa kaya kung HK ang amp... my dad has an HK amp..ang taba ng tunog ...
havent tried out the b2s sa HT application..gabi na kasi..bukas na lang sana magclear up na ang pandinig ko... :D
-
yup, i too wasn't that confident. hawak ko na yung wire to pull it out kaso baka may mangyari na di kanainais. ;D
would their be such difference in sound if one removes it?
mga pre you take a risk lang wala rin naman masyadong improvement e baka mamaya madamage lang yong gold dome so i advice wag nyo nang subukan ;D ;D ;D peace
-
greetings from the one-eared....aahh..one :D !
first impression was the b2s clarity and i thought i was happy with the diamond 8.1.. iba talaga....
i second that bro. speakers in the market ive tested that have the same detail and clarity of the b2 siguro are the b&w 601s. i would have gone either way between the two but then again the b&w is considerably more expensive so the the decision actually is a no brainer.
side note pre, im into acoustic guitar music also and you should listen to acoustic alchemy on these speakers. you could literally hear their fingers going up and down the guitar fretboard, details that i loooove listening to on the b2s. ;) ;D
-
P.dividy,
Pre wait till mag break in yan B2 mo sir and you'll love more open na open more balance high and low ang sound tapos experiment on the placement hehehe parang wla speaker na sir..
-
mga pre you take a risk lang wala rin naman masyadong improvement e baka mamaya madamage lang yong gold dome so i advice wag nyo nang subukan ;D ;D ;D peace
pre, natanong ko lang, nagbakasakali lang kung mayroon nang gumawa nito. ahehehehe ;D peace!
-
Kimpao,
Pre very minimal lang difference sa sound pero pag nasira mo for sure big difference sa cost mo.. hehehehe
OT.. usap na kami ni Mark and told him to provide me the breakdown of the function.. ;D
-
pre, nagbabakasakali lang kung meron nang gumawa. ahehehe! pre, may tawad pa daw yan sabi ni utol kagabi sa akin.
-
cousin skeeter,
i'll try to find my acoustic alchemy cd.. pati yung michael hedges.. its here somewhere...
hans a,
looking forward to that!
tried ht naman... mas bagay ang b2 sa jbl n center ko.. ang maliit ko lang na prob ay yung 8.1 hindi na ata match as rears but its tolerable .. ;D
-
p.dividdy,
To match your 8.1 with your front try to increase the level a little bit baka makuha dun sir..
-
hans,
its not the level but the sound quality....sa harap clear tapos kapag galing sa likod mataba or ma mid naman ang sound.. but i would still have to test it again kasi medyo di pa back to normal ang hearing ko ang tagal na nga e...but its improving slowly..
-
pdvd,
anong amp/receiver ginamit mo?
-
kimpoy,
im using a yamaha rx-v595a..
i think nagclear up na ang hearing ko today..so i tried the HT setup again.. i used the SWAT dvd.. yung opening sequence na may bank holdup... ma mid nga ang wharfs na rear .. kapag lumipad sa likod yung chopper nawawala ang highs ( im thinking of connecting the speaker wires to the hf posts since di na ito naka bi wire..) also confirmed na mas bagay ang jbl center ko sa b2s..
sa audio naman ngayon ko lang na appreciate ng mabuti yung vocals nasa gitna parang naka pro logic with 2 speakers (i listen with the effects off) ... tapos yung mga backup sa left and right...i experienced this with the wharfs kaso kailangan isipin mo pa ;D
-
p.dividdy2,
pare its nice to know that your normal hearing is back... and maganda nga ang monitor audio both ht and music. magaling nga ang imaging nyan... wait mo pa kapag nag-break in pa yan.
habang tumatagal lalo sumasarap parang alak.... heheheh
as close as it gets...

I got to use my B2s for HT today viewing Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. They blew me away! An astounding combination of clarity and slam. I can only imagine what B4s can do.

peeps,
anyone here using the dtx 9.5B bookshelf speakers? is its sound closer to MA than those of wharfe diamonds? im asking this coz my current surrounds are 8.1s and hindi sila talaga match with my b2 fronts. theyre also quite hard to drive. am thinking of selling them and getting the dtx 9.5B. the dtx bookshelves are also rated with 90db setting as compared to the 86db of the wharfes. sometimes ive to set the surround speaker level at +10 higher than the fronts for me to enjoy my dvds. wont go as far as buying b1s. TIA :)

-
J_albert,
PRe wag na magdalawang isip go for it na B4.. pre kahit side by side i'll still go for B4 siguro cheaper sya hehehe
-
oo nga pre.. madami naman ata e... gawin mo na lang surrounds yung B2.. ;D ;D
-
j_albert
no 2nd thoughts about B4, ayos yan bro. benta mo yung B2 plus the stands tapos dagdag ka nalang for the b4 or you can go the other route which i took (mwehehehehehe!!!! ;D) hiwalay mo audio sa ht setup, ahahehehe. gamitin mo yung b2 sa audio tapos bili ka ws 300b na tube amp ;D ;D ;D yung b4 pang ht.
or why not consider this, there's someone in the assorted buy and sell thread (si legacy at yun) thats' selling his MA B4 but then he's also getting B2 for replacement. swap nalang kaya kayong dalawa since ang ipapalit niya pagnabenta yung B4 is B2, diba.f ;)
-
oo nga pre.. madami naman ata e... gawin mo na lang surrounds yung B2.. ;D ;D
ganda naman surround ito sayang lang ;D ;D tsaka ala tayo ganoon kalaking halaga.....wait na lang kayo hehehehe i consider din yong AE EVO S3 konti lang naman diperensya

I'm in the process of choosing receivers for my upcoming system. I'm rather set on getting MA (no thanks to the 'marketing' you guys have been providing :>) but I'm still not set on the receiver. Aside from tonal differences (which is subjective), I'm just concerned whether or not lower end receivers can handle MA's and a sub at a 5.1 setup.
So far, I'm considering the following:
HK 130/330 (clear favourite :>)
Onkyo 501
Marantz 4400/5400
Yamaha 440/540
Denon 1604
Will these receivers be able to deliver the power needed for a full blown 5.1 setup? While listening levels will mostly on the low side, better err in the side of caution.

Gren,
Was at Megamall monday and learn the the HK2550 is on sale try to check it out pre..
-
I'm in the process of choosing receivers for my upcoming system. I'm rather set on getting MA (no thanks to the 'marketing' you guys have been providing :>) but I'm still not set on the receiver. Aside from tonal differences (which is subjective), I'm just concerned whether or not lower end receivers can handle MA's and a sub at a 5.1 setup.
So far, I'm considering the following:
HK 130/330 (clear favourite :>)
Onkyo 501
Marantz 4400/5400
Yamaha 440/540
Denon 1604

i would not recommend pairing monitor audios with either denon or yamaha. MAs are very detailed sounding speakers and pairing them with denon and yamaha would only make them sound brighter. I was able to test my MAs with a denon 1804 and i didnt like it. medyo thin sounding and ear fatiguing (imo). same with the yamaha 620 i had before. havent tested them with marantz though. if marantz is warm sounding baka match din sila. of course i still recommed the hk330. ;D ;D ;D

Technically lamang na lamang ang HK 330 sa lahat ng receivers na pinost mo.
Loaded features including 7.1 support, Stereo multi-room function, component video switching, pre-outs, high-currect, high-grade dac, SPL via EzSet, Zone two remote, etc.

Hello Hanz,
Anong shop sa Megamall ang nagcacarry ng HK receivers?
Thanks.
-
its accoustical space.. 5/F megamall.. beside informatics.. :) but they don't have the 330 on display.. only the 130.
-
Thanks...

Hi Guys,
Bakit di na lang kayo mag S2 kesa sa B4 konti lang diperensya, naka S2 na kayo. :)
-
b4 21k
s2 around 26k to 28k plus stands,
hmmmm!!!! malayo masyado, pre. ;D
peace bro!!!!
-
how much ang s1 ngayon??
-
hehe, audioaddict, masama yan.
i started looknig at wharfe 8.1, konti nalang 8.3, sige 8.3, oops 8.4 nalang.
a month later, hmm, b2 ba or b4 :P i don't want to start on the s's :>
anyway, hk is still ahead for me, but 130 seems so so on features while 330 is loaded, but 50% more expensive. why oh why isn't the 230 being marketed? it'll probably come out the moment i get my 130/330 :P

sir john5479
try mo kay sir sonny tuazon. :)

heard the b6 in archi. the bass was a bit overpowering in architechtural audio's demo place. this in contrast to the b2, which was a bit anemic. the b4 was just right :>
i suppose in this case, the room dimensions has a lot to do with the sound that came out :>
-
Puwedeng makihiram? ;D
basta ikaw [slayer], alang problema! ;) alin? yung manual o yung box nung B4? ahehehehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
was supposed to audition the b2 or b4 at the hometheatre tonight, but just when i got there, they were packed and sold :P just my luck. saw a 330, which got sold along with the MA's.
they said they might have new stock tomorrow. will just have to see :P
-
AudioAddict,
Pre got the B4 coz cheaper ang bronze center and no need for a stand since my setup for audio and HT are shared by one speaker lang.. hehhee

had the chance to compare the m74i with the s6. i know this isn't exactly a fair comparison, i originally intended to put the m74i against the b4 but seeing that the b4 was not available, i had to 'settle' with the s6.
test conditions: the test was done in the hometheatre. for those who have yet to visit the home theatre, it's a rather medium sized place (probably 15 x 15, irregularly shaped) with a lot of equipment spread all around. the receiver used was a denon 2803 i think. material used ranged from jazzy tracks with vocals, to a christmas choral recorded in some church (ill try to remember better next time, promise :>). the mission m74i was taken straight out of the box, same went for the s6 (whose spikes were not even installed yet).
now i was listening to the comparison along with a couple of other customers. i'm not particularly versed in turning what i hear into words, but i'll try my best, and borrow a few of the terms the other guys used.
the missions were harsh to begin with, as they are new. but the harshness eased up a bit and they reproduced the track in an accurate manner. its bass was distinct as well, though hardly chest thumping (as to be expected).
the s6, on the other hand, shares similar characteristics with the b4, it being bright and accurate while at the same time smooth and carressing.
as the two speakers were connected interchangebly, the differences between them both became more apparent: the s6 was very accurate, almost clinical in its reproduction, which the m74i had a bit more 'grain' or texture (you can almost imagine the huskiness of the singer's voice). of course, it might just be distortion, but then again, the m74i went through the most difficult portions of some of the tracks without showing evident distortion (we tested a KEF floorstander and it sort of croaked at thest passages). the m74i also played louder given the same volume levels. it might have something to do with it being easier to drive.
now i wouldn't go as far as to say that the m74i is in any way better than the s6, but it could give the s6 a run for its money. i'd have to say that the choice almost comes down to preference, rather than the 'quality' of a 50k set of speakers over a 20k set.
that being said, i still prefer the sound of the monitor audio speakers, both b4 and s6. if i get the chance to compare the b4 and the m74i side by side i might be more definite with this, but as i have yet to do this, i won't close the book on the m74i.
so in conclusion: m74i value for money (relatively speaking of course, i can barely afford it as it is), s6 mmmm smooth.
DISCLAIMER: as i've only auditioned speakers recently, i'm hardly the authority on speakers and whatnot. mr. tuazon suggested that a 'shootout' be done in his place, once the ma bronze's are back in stock of course. maybe an event can be arranged sometime soon. as for me, i'm still looking. hopefully i can get to bring something home soon :>

I don't really know what's going on with the supply of Monitor Audio Bronze speakers but some stores are having problems supplying them. As it is, it's still available at Spectra, but not at the Hometheatre (they do have 2 B Centres though). Contacted Nelrey and its not available too (with the exception of the B1). Have yet to go back to Archi Audio but I've auditioned and gotten quotes from them as well.
Now my question is, anyone know where else I can go to for prices? I'm pretty much set on my target system (MA/HK, no thanks to you guys :>) and I'd just like to get the best price. I'd hate to count coppers like this but I'm at the edge of my budget and every peso counts :> Worst case is that I wait out the estimated Feb to March re-supply date given to me by the Hometheatre (who gave the best prices). All this waiting is driving me half-mad as it is :>

mga sirs,
gud am... question lang po with regards to onkyo (501) ma b2/b4 combo... ok po ba?
considering on buying an MA... any thoughts on pairing them with onkyo...
saka which do you prefer b2+sub or b4... leaning towards music na po... m afraid i will have to give up my wharf 8.4 and center.
thanks.
-
Bro,
For audio... i usually don't use my sub. BTW, i'm using 8.3. I would suggest you go with B4... but if you already have the sub... you can go the B2 route. The only difference between the B2/B4 is its low freq capabilities.

-
mga bossing! Question lang po. Interesado kasi akong kumuha ng MonitorAudio dahil sa inyo ;D Pero nag-research muna ako kung ano ang masasabi ng mga kano sa MA. Sa mb ng audioasylum.com, madalas ko nababasa na ok ang MA kasi detalyado at klaro ang salita pero ang complaints lang nila ay masyadong daw bright ang MA. Pag tagal daw ay nakaka-fatigue daw yung sounds. Ewan ko lang kung mismatch yung system.
Sa mga MA owners dyan, totoo ba na bright ang MA. Ang combo ba ng H/K and MA kaya bang ma-reduce yung brightness?
-
well ma speakers are kinda bright so proper amp/speaker matching is essential

i dont think MA speakers are "bright" per se. its just that the Bronze series are a little harder to drive than the average speaker. hence if an inadequate amp is used - the woofer section is not maximized, while the tweeter gets the energy that it needs to function
overall effect is that you get more of the HF compared to the Mids and lows that should come from the woofer... (hindi balanse kumbaga)
that's just my observation - feel free to correct me if i don't make sense :)

The MA speakers are like the B&Ws in a way, it likes more power. the tweeters are usually the easier to drive in a speaker so using an amp that doesn't drive the woofers properly will result in a bright sound since the tweeter's sound is more prominent. I auditioned the gold series bookshelf and it sounds bright when we used a nadc320bee, but sounded much, much better when we switched to a musical fidelity integrated, trivista nga lang yun hehehe ;D
-
Ohh, perhaps that's the reason why a B4 or a B2 can't be driven to a respectable level of performance by a NAD C320bee - di pala sila matched...
some HK owners here are claiming a "match made in heaven" between their AVRs and that of a B2 or B4 but how come a NAD C320bee with a 50wpc continuous power output can't?
arnoldc is right after all when he said that MA Bs are really difficult to drive... ;D
-
equipment matching is still the key here I guess, on a sidenote, the mission m780 sounded better with a nadc320bee compared with the MA gr10. the ma's sounded bright
-
ot.. walang datung pre.. sinasabi ko lang ke esmi at sa tsikiting ko na.. nde muna tayo kakain ng 2 linggo ngayun.. busugin nyo na lang sikmura nyo sa music na galing sa B4.. ;D ;D
ok ka pre, kaya pala naka B4 kana..busog pa sila sa B4 mo ;D
-
ok ka pre, kaya pala naka B4 kana..busog pa sila sa B4 mo ;D

hmmmmm! ::) B2 maganda sa tube amp yan ;D. SARS na ba?!!! aheheheh
-
hmmmmm! ::) B2 maganda sa tube amp yan ;D. SARS na ba?!!! aheheheh
ako sir? wag muna, di pa naaalikabok ang one month kong ss amp. iwas po muna sa mapanuksong SARS.. ;D
-
thank you mga bossing! kailangan pala i-mix and match yung MA sa diff. amps para siguradong di magiging bright yung lalabas na tunog. Sa HK avr-330 kaya? good match ba ito in terms of brightness? yun sana bibilhin ko.
-
ako sir? wag muna, di pa naaalikabok ang one month kong ss amp. iwas po muna sa mapanuksong SARS.. ;D

lomi.. kung 330 ang pair mo sa MA speakers... walang duda.. panalo yan.. pero audition pa rin syempre.. whats good in our ears maybe not on you.. preferrence still plays a vital role.. and remember kaw yung gagamit nung gears mo.. nde kami.. happy auditioning.. :)
-
puro b2 and b4 yata ang reviews d2. got a rotel ra-02 amp and settled for the s1 as compared to the b2. any comments? am very very satisfied with the sound. very nice soundstage. ano kya comparison nito with the b4? for audio 2channel setup lang sa akin
-
ok na ok yang s1 kung midrange ang paguusapan, kulang lang sa bass but if you have a good sub wala ka nang problema :)
-
ot.. wows pre.. congrats.. 350 na ba yung nabili mo? :) at busog na busog sila sa B4.. ;D
sir,yun parin dati the NADc320bee. yun ang ss ko hehe. no plans pa sa av receiver, 2 channel lang muna ;D
-
Matching talaga kahit anong gear IMHO.. but with HK/MA i think no problem ka sir.. for S1 agree with sir John ok ang mids even the low meron ito.. even with its small size you'll be amaze how it will sound.. coz bigger sound sa small box. hehehe
-
bass in a bookshelf? S2 hehehe
-

check out the hk thread. gren just bought a hk330 and b2s and hes posted his initial reviews, as usual, all praise to hk/ma combo ;D ;D
additional note, when listening to music i usually don't touch the treble knob. it stays flat since the b2 is already very detailed but i adjust the bass depending upon music/cd im playing. id set it to the 3 oclock position if i want the bass to really come out.

my thoughts on the hafler+b4 combination playing drums...
(http://203.131.66.146:8080/waah.gif)
shocking mga brods, considering we were in a large room (8m x 6m) with high ceilings, and the speakers were about 8ft from the wall, iceman's hafler xl-280 drove the b4 to its ultimate potential... when hearing drums, i don't like to hear little toys inside a tv box, i want to hear life-size chest pounding drums... IMHO drums are the life of a rock'n roll performance, if your gear can't get drums right, you probably won't appreciate rock.

ang problema lang wala nang stock na B4 dahil sa kagagawan nyo kaya ang masasabi ko lang PANGIT B4 (kaya di makapag upgrade naubos na :'( :'(sana wag nyo naman taasan presyo ::))
-
Eh di, B6 kung walang B4!!!!! ;D. Mwehehehehehe ;D ;D ;D
kung wala parin eh di, AE EVO 3!!!! para naman kaka iba! :). O, ano iniintay j_albert kuha na ng EVO 3 (OT na ito ah!).

hehehe, hindi pa kaya ng bulsa for now. unahin ko muna source ko, looking for a cd player na best bang for the buck.
-
before we went to narayan's place, i got to hear the ws 300b prototype driving the b2... we played the "Tunog Acoustics" cd, which on ss amps could sound a bit on the bright side... the 300b gave it more body, the sound was very refined and pleasing to the ears... tubes and vocals/acoustic music seem like a magical match... it did struggle/distort a bit when playing loud bass passages like the pearl harbor cd track #6.
(http://203.131.66.146:8080/300b1.jpg)
when we arrived at narayan's place, the b4 was being driven by kimpao's scott tube amp... playing beverley staunton, the sound was heavenly... i liked the way kimpao restored this baby, it looks as good as it sounds! someday i hope to find one of these in good condition & affordable.

Ganda ang kintab sir ano pinanglinis mo dyan ? Kuya Hans ano masasabi mo? ;D
-
has anybody auditioned the B6 driven by a high current amp already? how much kaya yung B6? thanks
-
Tried HK 330 and a B6. Bass was a tad too much, compared to the B4. I could barely distinguish the higher frequencies when the B6 was being auditioned.
In contrast to the B2, the B2 lacked bass. The B4 was just right :> However, the B2 sounded just right in my room. This can be due to the fact that 1) my room is small, 2) I don't have a B4 to compare with.
I'm still thinknig if I sould go B4 with sub or B6 without. The B2s give excellent bass, just no slam.
This was done in architechtural audio. The room was not particularly big (probably 15 x 12?). It might be better if you pay them a visit. The folks there are the best :>
as for the price, i'm not sure but i think its about 31k or thereabouts.

Folks, I'm deciding between a B6 and a B4. When I heard the B6, it was a tad heavy on bass, the B4 was just right. But since my tastes leans towards bass heavy materials (no hip hop or rap though, more on rock), I'm thinking if I should go all out and get the B6.
Now I've a small room, 3 x 3.5 x 3, currently, the B2 gives good bass but its still lacking. I'm just wondering if i can tame the B6's bass while I'm in the small room until I move to a bigger room. I'm not sure if the HK330 can reduce bass gain, if so, does this mean I"ll be stuck with moving the speakers away from the walls to lower bass output? I think you can also put a foam bung on the rear port of the b4/b6, will this help a lot?
Why B6 instead of sticking with a B4, well, as with some of the folks here, I prefer to err on the side of excess. Better na sobra kaysa kulang :> Even so, I don't want to go overboard. What do you folks think?
-
Just tame the B6 if you really want it. Either take it afar from the walls or put acoustic materials (acoustic foam) on your wall which you have to sacrific your wall/room design if you really have to put it near the wall.
Daming wall. ahehehe... ;D
-
haha yeah, i suppose you're correct there slayer. either get it or forever think about getting it. but ill see :> where can i get foam for my wall(s)?
-
Sana may available neto dito satin...
Auralex
(http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_10_4/images/feature-007-theater-wedges.jpg)
Or you can check out Tru Value may mga acoustic foam sila dun in different colors. ;D
haha yeah, i suppose you're correct there slayer. either get it or forever think about getting it. but ill see :> where can i get foam for my wall(s)?
-
nice. time to ugly-fy my room, hehe.
-
"... the B2 gives good bass but its still lacking..."
wait for 2-3 months and you can hear that the B2 can go low as specified, specially you're using HK.
But if you can afford the B6, better, specially if your planning to move to a bigger room.
-
the b2 does give good bass. but sometimes it depends on the source. ive cds that give out real excellent, tight fast bass out of the b2, but in some of my cds the bass is lacking. reason why am still scouting for a good cd player to make the most of my cd collection. they say one should invest most importantly sa source daw eh.
-
yup tuloy. be there feb 4 siguro. wish i could join the listening session. anyway, will check if ive free time. thanks!
Bakit... taga saan ka pala Insan?
-
Gren,
B4 no enough bass?? ;D ;D have heard B4 in a big room ( Sir Narayan house ) and 4 meters away from the wall and can hear and feel the bass.. break in lang yan sir..

Gren,

ah no, the B4 gives the best bass, compared to the B2 and the B6. Called archi audio up and they recommended the B4 as well. The B6 is a tad bass heavy but I"m just wondering, since I can prolly afford it, whether or not I should go for the 6 over the 4.
BTW, the B2 gives more than adequate bass for games :> It's ok for music, depending on material, but lacking only when it comes to movies. But hey, for a bookshelf, it's pretty impressive.
Just curious, dose the AE Evo bookshelf give as much bass? I listened to the floorstander (equivalent to the B4) and it seemed a tad dry to me. I did not listen to it critically though, just in passing.
-

AE bookshelve give more bass than B2 cause AE can reach 38-22khz while B2 44-22khz.... ;D
-
so des.
oh yeah, i've heard that AE assembles MA speakers, any truth to this?

AE bookshelve give more bass than B2 cause AE can reach 38-22khz while B2 44-22khz.... ;D
ot.. pre masamang pangitain yan... mukhang all the way sa Evo ka na.. congrats.. :D
-
Gren,
B4 no enough bass?? ;D ;D have heard B4 in a big room ( Sir Narayan house ) and 4 meters away from the wall and can hear and feel the bass.. break in lang yan sir..
Audio_Tyro,
Si pinsan taga Iloilo yan sir..
oo nga sir hans. duguan tuloy yung b4 ko pag-uwi namin :'(
joke only!!! ;D pero na break-in ng husto yung b4.

Kimpao,
Pre lagyan mo band-aid ;D ;D

OT lang hans,
pre mukhang may masama kang balak, parang naghahanap ka ng subs para sa audio. :)

Hans - velodyne cht-8 gusto mo? ;)

what i like about the b4 when i heard it at narayan's was that it can do both hard & soft bass... some guys like soft bass, some guys like hard bass... IMHO, the bass should be either hard or soft depending on the source material... drums don't sound natural if it sounds too soft, neither do electronic bass if it sounds too hard.
-
they say one should invest most importantly sa source daw eh.
It is a nice idea to invest on source but remember that your system is as good only as the weakest link of your system. some say that it is wise to invest more on speakers than the rest of a sound system because speakers arent susceptible to frequent upgrades by manufacturers. ;D
-
Iceman,
How much kaya?? OT tayo sir..
Julsp168,
Tama ka dyan sir!! musical na cheap speaker wow!!..
Kimpao,
Wla sir naginquire lang po..

i guess so. but i think my weakest link is my source. i play my cds via a generic dvd player with hk receiver and b2 speakers. but am kinda hesistant on investing on a cd player for now coz am hoping the the prices of nad and rotel hdcd players would come down soon.
-
One thing I noticed about my B2s is when I turn up the volume, the treble seems to increase disproportionately to the bass. This could be a indication of the mid drivers not being broken in yet? They hardly move even when I play heavy metal at what I consider loud volumes.
-
hi frequency seems to be emphasised at higher volume levels. i'm just wondering if breaknig the things in would make them less 'harsh'. i listen to moderate to soft levels so i don't hear them that much, but i don't like cranking the volume because i don't want blown tweeters happening.
so what does running in do for the bronzes? emphasis mids? softer bass? less harsh treble?
-
gren,
Usually speaker need to be run in a least 100 hrs to give there best and true sound..out of the box its kinda stiff, no bass, harsh mid/high.. pero it will improved basta gamitin mo lang pre... or do the face to face. yun B4 ko before wlang bass and harsh high pero ngayon open na sya..
psssh kung wla kang time to use it hehehe bigay mo sa akin ako magbreak in..
-
hehe, i'm not in a hurry to break it in, really. just wondering if its indicative of the final sound. i'm still deciding whether or not to go acoustic energy, that's why i'm being overly critical.
right now it's laid back evo or high freq b2. what will it be? :>
-
gren,
i second hans. harsh talaga ang MA tweeters upon purchase. things will mellow out in several weeks time. but just the same, ive yet to find speakers that can match the detail and clarity of the b2 (at their price range of course).
archangel,
you/we need the b4 siguro pre, hehehe. thats the same thing i notice about the b2. when playing at very high volumes while listening to heavy metal/rock, the highs and the mids become uncomfortable to listen to. the b4s additional bass driver would probably be the perfect answer to this. i guess one review i read about the b2s was right, these werent made for headbangers. used to play the drums in college to the tunes of metallica and megadeth so i for one appreciate listening to fast, tight, deep, hard bass.
by the way pre, your 8.1s are wallmounted at home now. will try to post a pic of my setup soon if am able to borrow a digital camera. ;D ;D ;D

will the b6 be even better? :> wall mounted foam won't tame the heavy bass as you'd need very dense material to absorb it (according to archi audio that is). sigh, with i can home audition :P
-

seek and you shall find. ;D
i have the same observation with MA speakers especially when driven by SS amp. it can sound great on tube amps though based on my experience. Thats just me.
usually, new speakers sound harsh. break-in eventually
will lead to a better sound.
To much highs at times can be fascinating but prolonged listening may cause fatigue. " to much highs dont necessarily mean too detailed". Some speakers tend to exaggerate instruments' sound and yet still miss on some notes. ;D
-
....To much highs at times can be fascinating but prolonged listening may cause fatigue. " to much highs dont necessarily mean too detailed". Some speakers tend to exaggerate instruments' sound and yet still miss on some notes. ;D
hmmm, youve got a point here. i guess theres a fine line between detail and being bright and sometimes its kinda hard distinguishing one from the other.

cousin skeeter.. not much of an improvement if i may say..you have to remember that they have the same tweeters.. being a convert from b2 to b4.. thats what i was also hoping.. listening to fast rock namely nirvana, metallica, guns and roses and aerosmith.. not a pleasent listening experience.. :( :( but it excels on jazz, acoustics and rnb.. definitely not a speaker for headbangers.. ;D ;D

hmm, the b2/b4 are not for headbanging, and according to some reviews, the evos aren't either. so which speakers? are the wharfe dias any good at it?
i don't listen to a lot of heavy rock/metal tracks, as i prefer acoustic guitar prevalent music as opposed to electric guitar ones, but hey, you'd never know what you'd feel like listening :> be nice to know your speaker can do just about everything, if not excellently, then maybe decently.

for now, HK/MA All The Way!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Good to know that the 8.1s are serving you in good stead. Still remember how those babies sound with Tony Bennett/KD Lang. Somehow I prefer that sound over this disc with the B2s.
-
hmm, the b2/b4 are not for headbanging, and according to some reviews, the evos aren't either. so which speakers? are the wharfe dias any good at it?
some says that if rock/metal are your music.. then jbl or bose are the speakers for you.. it still depends on your preferred music.. :)
-
hmm, listening to the klipsch rf-15 some last night got me to thinking that it might be very good with rock/metal tracks. unlike the brit speakers which emphasise bass and highs, the klipsch was very mid-dy, and its bass was...amazing. this considering that the placement in spectra was far from ideal (close to wall, obstructions galore). nevertheless, the cds sounded entirely different: female vocals was less sibilant and had more...body? guitars were perfect and snare? drums sounded live (or lively?).
as jim noted, the klipsch would shine in a big room with proper placement. the bass would be a real knockout without walls contraining them. i'm half tempted drop MA/AE for it, but all things considered (size, acoustic quality, and not to mention cost), i still prefer MA/AE.
as for the B2, i still can't get over how 'bilog' the sound is. listening to duncan shiek moan over love and whatnot, the clarity (and a certain harshness) of the tweeters combined with the tight and punchy quality of the bass never fails to make me fall in love, again, with the sound (or speakers :>).
oh, as for the evo1, wow, i heard its bass output for the first time last night, while not as punchy as the b2, it had a softer, deeper quality that made me like it better than the bass output being given by the evo3. the evo3 sounded good on rock-ish tracks, as well as action saturated movie scenes. for vocals and whatnot, the evo1 ws quite impressive.
so the search goes on, ill prolly bring my b2 to spectra later for an a/b comparison. hopefully not that many peole will be there. was nice meeting HTNOVICE last night, by the way, and ramil (i'm not sure if he's here, if so, what his handle is). spent like 2 hours convincing each other to get more stuff. bad influence talaga :>

Sebs, in my humble personal opinion, it's JBL, not Bose.
Wala pa akong makitang THX-certified na Bose, a fact na medyo inferior ang Bose "compared" to JBL.
At wala pa rin akong nakitang Bose na gamit sa mga concerts - especially rock concerts... or kahit sa mga recording studios... i may have missed some, so I could be wrong - and then again, music is subjective so if some of us people like Bose, the heck, fire away.
Shalom... ;)

Sir Gren,
Jim mentioned that you decided to wait for the B4... gud choice talaga sir. :) sayang kung may B4 na eh. but then again love ur own.. so hk/ae ako (OT).
HTNovice
-
decided MA is more to my liking compared to AE :> i like my bass and decided that i could live the sometimes high-highs. not saying MA is better than AE, i just prefer the MA's sound characteristics over MA.
hey htnovice, was nice meeting you again. hope you're enjoying your toy (HK 130) :>.

Julsp,
Pre heard EL34 paired with B4 and your right high are tamed and mids are wowow sweet na sweet..

hans,
wowow! congrats. swak na swak ba? hehehe. ;D
not tamed. natural is the right word!
natural nga ba? lets have a listening session and instead of bringing lots of gears, bring one SS and one Tube amp tapos compare natin side by side sa drum set. magdala kayo ng banda. hehehe. ;D ;D ;D
-
Julsp,
sure sir.. natural mmmh to hear is to believe pre geko was there baka pwede mo sya matanong pero tried and tested na B4 sa drum track and run away winner sir.. ;D

-

-
forgot to tell you im in singapore right now. i saw this in onwe of the stores here. naka-sale mga silver at B3. pati gold meron 50% off. made in england pa.
ill be coming back pinas saturday. still having 2nd thoughts of buying them kasi problema pagpack pag uwi.
B4s almost same price lang dyan. But B3 is around P16K. is that a good buy? i have till end of the day to decide.
so what dya think?
-

-
mukhang panalo yan.. unlike the bronze series here na made in china.. yan mukhang made in england talaga.. just like the silver and gold series.. ;D ;D
-
sir i think that's the previous line ng Bronze, yung double-ported na ang tawag ay Bronze 1, Bronze 2, Bronze 3, etc... the new Bronze series have larger ports and are called B1, B2, etc... di kaya? pero panalo nga yan, multi-awarded din yung series na yan.
-
yah, those pics are the old bronze series.
-
can't seem to find any pics of it o di kaya yun nga ang tinutukoy ni redmagic ::)
-
Kimpao,
Sana meron B3 dito sa pinas yan pwede para sa audio setup ko hehhee.. oo nga old model yan pictures mo sir. hehehe :o :o pero gwapo pa rin.
-
parang nai-imagine ko na tuloy yung tunog niyan ::), B2 na may Ooooommmphhhh!!!!!!!!!!! mwehehehehehehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

sabagay di ko sure kung babagay yun sa yammy ko kasi iba receiver nya gamit pang test eh (hmmmm.. a case of sour graping ah! hehehe! :))
well its not meant to be. so??? back to EVO3 or B4. Maui or Francine? esep-esep! ;D ;D ;D
-
ok lang yan, sir redmagic. those were the old bronze models pala. anyway, kung nabili mo yan warranty ang issue since baka di i-honor dito. sir wait ka nalang

sir redmagic, for honest to goodness opinion (since i don't want to be biased about it ;D ) you may want to ask hans&france, akyat, james16, j_albert for their reviews regarding Maui and Francine para hindi ka masyado mapa esep-esep. ;D ;D

bad news: Prices go up by 7-10%

congrats on your B4 gren.. can you confirm if they have implemented the increase for the price of the B4? thanks
-
yes they did :P 24k+ yung discounted prices ngayon.
13 for the b2 i think.
2-3 thousand isn't so bad, but it nearly broke my budget. but when i got them home, it was well worth it :> konting tiis lang.
-
congrats sir gren, nice purchase yan. agree with you sir, even though there was a price increase on the MAs' its still worth it (yup, 2.8K price increase isn't that bad).
btw, anyone has an idea how much does the MA S5 and S6 cost?
-

J_albert & kimpao,
Pre OT si Jvm naka Hk130 na di nasasabi according to a reliable source. ;D
Para kayong mga NBI a, hanep sa intel, very reliable. Yong kasama ko sa bahay ang bumili, hindi ako, sinamahan ko lang ;D.
Ang mahal na ng B4. Ang lakas nyo kasing mag-endorse kaya naging most in-demand. Dagdag pa ng peso depreciation :-[.
Pag may sapat akong pera by mid March baka mag B4 na rin ako, baka tumaas uli. Baka may gustong umampon sa B2 ko? Ang ganda na ng tunog, well broken in na after 3 months of use.

I'll make my final decision by mid-March, by this time I know if I have enough for the B4. Hopefully I will. I'll let you know.
-
Jvm,
Nabulong lang po yan sir.. hehehee

reviews naman diyan on S5 and S6. meron ba? :-\

may binabalak ka na naman ha ;D last time heard the S6 sa audioworld but not long enough to be able to do even short review. pasyalan mo na lang bro ;)
-
i've heard the s8 (not sure about the designation, but we called it the s8) at the hometheatre. compared it against the mission m74i. it shares the same sound characteristics as the b4: nice rounded bass, surgicall precise way of playing, bright-ish. it's probably a more refined version of the b4 -- you can definitely hear the resemblance. of course, haven't done a side by side so i can't name the differences.
-
Kimpao,
match yan sa ST70 na type mo sir.. ;D ;D

nice speakers ;D the speakers you had before were no joke either.
-
Yes, I was very happy with the dynes, but they have been with me for the last 5 years and needed an upgrade. Especially when I got my krell showcase preamp/processor. the speakers are powered by 3- moderately powered classe amps in my dedicated home theatre with a 3 gun sony crt projector.
Will try to post some pictures when I figure how to do it here.
Alvin
-
your classe amps should mate well with your ma golds 8) if you have the link on where you saved the pictures I will post them for you.

Nice idea mga bosing, another reason for us to drop by at the gulamanan ;D Sige, source naman ang comparison natin. pero teka medyo mas mahirap na magdesisyon niyan dahil from speakers to source na ang pakikinggan natin. ::) dati speakers lang, tapos na samahan ng amp, tapos ngayon kasama na pati source. Ok yan!

Hans,
Share ka naman diyan! Ala ba S5 sa audioworld, sayang. Pero sir maganda rin yung 902, S1 (ganda nung S1 ni vince) nice to have but out of my budget for the time being. 902's are on my list right now for bookshelves (additional speakers hindi ito SARS ;D ;D ).
-
kimpao,
Sir di naman nagsolo hehehe with some former friend eh dati kami nagtambay dun.. ::) OT..

I noticed that b2s need a higher volume setting in my HK than my old wharfs for the same level of loudness. Does this mean that the b2s are harder to drive? Is this good or bad?
-
I also noticed the same thing going from 8.1s to B2s. I was expecting the opposite because of the higher sensitivity rating of the B2s.
-
Archangel and indridcold,
Have experienced that before but didn't bother as long as without distortion eh ok lang you'll notice more during HT pa yan sir.
-
might have something to do with 8ohms (8.1?) vs 6ohms (B2). i need to have my volume at -25 to have it loud, 20 on certain materials.
-

Di ba baligtad? Wharfe is 6 ohms, B2 is 8 ohms? that would account for the apparent diminiution of sound levels shifting from wharfe to B2 given the volume same setting.
-

B2s' have an impedance of 6 ohms. The only MA models having 8 ohms impedance are the Gold Reference 10, Gold Reference Center, Silver fx and the Bronze Center
-
OK. But if the Monitor has a higher sensitivity, it should sound a bit louder than the Wharfe.
-
That was my expectation bro. Sana it will improve after break in.

Did someone try to change the jumper of you B4 and replace it with speaker wire.. any effect?
Thanks

Tried it for peace of mind. Used the ecosse cables. No noticeable difference though.

after getting my b2s and being satisfied with it..di na ako masyadong nakakabisita dito sa SARS ward ng pinoydvd...

-
aba may mga blind item pa! 8) ;D
grabe.. siguro dapat mga near field monitors o di kaya studio monitors na ang bilhin ng mga infected sa SARS para as close as it gets talaga.. near field speakers ng Event are very good! nga pala bakit hindi mga ganito ang ginagamit ng mga hi-fi peeps..? since maselan din naman sila (o kayo? ;D) sa placement and all.. just wondrin...

tagal talaga break-in period ng monitor audios. am quite satified with my b2 especially sa highs and mids but ive to admit medyo bitin sila sa bass department but then again, cant expect much from a bookshelf. i know my bass requirements can only be satisfied by a very musical sub, a REL perhaps or improved source. if only good subs werent so expensive. *sigh* :'( :'( :'(

Do i need to have connector for wire in replacing jumper?

I'm curious,when replacing the regular speaker jumpers with speaker cables, how do you make them fit into the hole in the speaker terminal together? I'm asking this since in my experience, it was quite cramp already inserting a bare ecosse 2.3 wire into the speaker terminal along with the regular jumper.
Did you use banana plugs?
thanks

try it this way:
instead of cutting the wire and making jumpers - strip the main wire long enough so that both binding posts will be reached (tuhugin ng tuloy tuloy eka nga) this will result in having no gaps that the electrons will have to jump over from the main wire to the other binding post
not an original idea - nabasa ko din lang yan :)

never used banana plugs. ;D
here's what i did
1.) cut atleast 3 to 4 inches of speakerwire (1 pair for very speaker)
2.) strip one end of your DIY jumper atleast 3/4 of an inch and on the other end 1/2 an inch (do this for each jumper)
3.) "+" binding post, either LF or HF, insert the 1/2 inch stripped end thru the binding post then thighten the screw of the binding post
4.) for the 3/4 inch striped-end insert this thru the hole on top of the binding post (the hole where you insert banana plugs). you will see the end of this side of the jumper go thru down the length of the binding post.
5.) now, if you have a precision screw driver, insert this into the hole where you usually insert the speaker wires and gently push the jumpers ends until it pops out the other side of the binding post.
6.) now you can insert the speaker cable halfway thru the binding post at this point. Then tighten the screws.
just repeat the whole process with the other binding posts.
Whoala!!!! Ganda at malinis pang tingnan. I'll try to post pics on this.
hope this hlps, bro.
;D ;D ;D

btw, what if I use some "audio pro" generic wires for this undertaking? Will it be better than using the ordinary/regular speaker jumpers? Don't want to cut my ecosse 2.3, kasi. ;D
-
number1,
Pwede din since audio pro wire are neutral sounding naman..
-
try it this way:
instead of cutting the wire and making jumpers - strip the main wire long enough so that both binding posts will be reached (tuhugin ng tuloy tuloy eka nga) this will result in having no gaps that the electrons will have to jump over from the main wire to the other binding post
not an original idea - nabasa ko din lang yan :)
this is what i did ;D ;D
-
cousin skeeter bro, na ka large ba setting mo sa HK mo for the B2? Ung center ba ok din if you use logic 7 for music?
-
Setting the receiver to "LARGE" will give the LF to the speaker but if you have SUB you can set it to SMALL.
-
Experiment... try mo Large sa Front and Center.. you'll notice na mas may body yun voice/sound.
-
tanong lang po ako mga Sir.
kya pa rin po ba pakantahin ng HK130 ang B4?
Maraming Salamat!
-
Garantisado!! ;D

may tanong ako ulit.
how about Mission M33 compare sa B4, may nakapag-audition na ba nito side by side?
thanks!
-
may tanong ako ulit.

thanks!
i auditioned both sa home theater. meron m33 at B4 doon.
i was cautioned before of mission speaker's brightness. so i have this in mind when i auditioned it. but found out that this m33 isn't bright after all (or it's just my ears ;D). maybe becuase of the newer technology this made of (reference to their older models), or again maybe it's just the avr? if so, magaling talaga hk130. yung ginamit ko pang audition eh ;D ;D ;D
m33 is easier to drive. good dynamics too. you can also ask kenchix1, as he also auditioned both and he's enjoying the m33 now.
better go to home theater and audition. look for noel. good guy and accommodating. ;)
-
salamat redmagic.. pag-iisipan ko na lang which is which ang bibilhin ko ::)
-
;D
salamat redmagic.. pag-iisipan ko na lang which is which ang bibilhin ko ::)
try to audition side by side HT and music ikaw mismo para macompare mo talaga kasi iba iba tayo nang panlasa pagdating dyan.... ;D ;D
-
redmagic,
Sir yun 130 ang nagdala.. kaya di bright na yun M33.
-
Ganda ng S1 especially on guitars, match sa amp ko, the combinations sound was the closest thing i heard to a real guitar.
-
redmagic,
Sir yun 130 ang nagdala.. kaya di bright na yun M33.
Okey lang ba na ipaired yung HK130 don sa B4 kahit na mababa lang power rating nya?
-
mga bossing, magkano ba ang MA B2's ngayon? saan ba makaka-audition 'non? thanks.

mga sirs, bakit dami ata nagbebenta ng mga B2 nila? upgrade? sabagay summer na. nauuso nanaman ang mga sakit. SARS!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
galing talaga ng S1 bro... it sounds like a big speaker by itself, then when used with an 8" sub, maganda ang integration, very seamless... then the mids are yummy, mainit na matamis! ;D
-
i agree, in fact maybe instead of getting a b4 for the hk130, get an s1 instead... plus a sub ;)
that might be a better match ;)
-
s1 and rel??? pwede!!! 8)
-
salamat sir slayer.
nasa stage kasi ako ng pagdedecide kung okey yung HK130 compare sa Onkyo 601 at balak ko rin na magB4. nakakahawa pala yung mga nandito hehe...
i second iceman, hk5500 ka bro. although kaya ng hk130 ang b4s, but for you to fully appreciate its bass better get higher wattage avrs like the 5500. the 130 in stereo mode is only 50 watts per channel while the 5500 is 85 watts per channel. hk is also very conservative in rating its avrs and amps so i think the 5500 will be able to provide all the power your b4s need.
-
Cousin skeeter,
SEconds your opinion sir iba talaga kung higher wattage yun amp to drive you speakers..
psst congrats pala sa Nad mo...

tnx pre. low budget upgrade lang muna tayo. anyway, just wanted to prove to myself first that my source was really my problem. so which means, save up na naman ako for an even better cd player. one thats hdcd ready na siguro next time. right now am really appreciating my b2s bass. was going full blast this morning without getting ear-fatigue. kaya nga late for work. ;D ;D ;D
-
salamat mga sir sa advice. lumilinaw na ngayon sa akin kung alin ang kukunin ko ;D
-
pwedeng pwede yan! di ba sir j_albert? ;)
pwedeng pwede but you need bigger space para di sakal yong B4 mo
-
guys,
Notice will floorstander dapat talaga provide him space kundi minsan boomy so you'll think na roll off yun high and mid..
-
True. Gusto ko nga ilayo sa wall yung 8.3 ko kasi wala nakong space. ::)

hi guys!
james, pare welcome back...anyone of you here using the S6??? thanks! 8)
ako meron kaso di pa magamit kasi inihintay ko pa yung repairs ng h/k ko from AA. Although na pair ko na siya with Onkyo AVR before. I'm not an audiophile so di ko alam yung technical aspects ng bawat tunog, IMO lang ay medyo di sila bagay. Medyo bright siya nung kinumpare ko siya sa luma kong speakers (Roland RS232). After listening to hours of music, medyo nakaka-fatigue ng kaunti. pero kahit na bright ng kaunti, oks na oks pa rin yung S6 sa akin. gusto ko kasi yung mids and highs niya :). btw superman, why are you asking?

just curious lang, lomi...a friend is selling his S6, nanghihinayang ako eh...thanks! 8)

IMHO, ok sobra ang s6. sayang yan!! kailangan nga lang ng good matching amp. I heard MA S6's and Rotel amp combo from AudioWorld. All I could say was WOW. Napapaisip nga akong bumili ng Rotel Amp eh kaso way out of budget, kaya nagsettle muna ako sa H/K hehe. Nga pala, i've been a lurker of this thread at talagang na-curious ako ng husto sa MA. Now, I'm happy to own these great speakers. Thanks to all of you guys!

Busy lang. Saka bakasyon sa probinsiya ng matagal. :)
Kumusta na ba B4? Buti ka pa nakakuha niyan. Ako hindi na siguro, at least not within this year, inabutan na ng mga price increase kaya di na practical. Wala muna akong upgrade plan, except stands ;D. Naubos pondo, nagbayad muna ako ng mga utang. Goal ko kasi this year is to be "debt-free" ;D. Kaya sayang yong mga S1 at S2 ni Iceman at Superman. ;D Kaya iwas SARS muna, may AIDS kasi ako ngayon ;D
Ayos na ayos pa naman yong B2, malaki na ang improvement sa bass. Kung minsan nanonood ako ng movie kahit walang sub, pero may impact pa rin.

I am happy to report that my B2s no longer need to have the volume dial of my tono preamp set at 8 o'clock for the music to be enjoyed. My comfortable listening level is now achievable with the volume dial only at 7 o'clock. Imaging is superb even with a big tv in between speakers. Bass, for a lack of a better term, is "realistic" and certainly more perceptible than a few months back. Highs are no longer harsh. Maybe it really takes 6 months to properly break in these speakers as some people claim.
-
congrats archangel! enjoy your optimized B2! :D
-
Thanks man. Couldn't do any upgrading anyway due to lack of funds. Just as well...
-
OK na OK yan...enjoy! :D

Archangel,
Sir ok yan.. usually ganyan nga lalabas ang ganda...

These speakers used to be the darling of their owners from this forum a few months ago... But why are some people selling off their months old ma speakers? Do these speakers sound really bad compared to their upgrades that they are willing to take a loss in selling their ma speakers?

Guys,
Wala akong masabi... guilty pero i change my speakers (3x ) due to SARS lang talaga no other reason.. just like eating our favorite ice cream kung magnolia ka today pwede naman selecte bukas di ba.. like when i heard SET amp plan to sell or buy another amp.. grabe itong SARs na ito..buti na lang may AIDs na ako kaya di nagpush thru pero... abangan SET.. ::) ::)

sir kimpao,
As a former user of a component and some old bose speakers, I'm totally impressed with the B4. But I know something else sounds better out there. Its best not to listen to them before the upgrade binge starts again. ;D
-
number1,
Agree... pero i love to hear/audition other speaker too coz not of SARS but more of learning and experiencing.. :D :D

Let me ask you the same question, sir... why then are you selling your B2s which you just acquired last February? perhaps for the same reasons as would others do, right? your reason for selling.... only you knows.... ;D ;D ;)
-
Hi! I'm a newbie in the HT hobby and pls. bear with my rather dumb question. :)
At the back panel of the B4, each polarity ("+"= red and "-" =black ) has two tabs the HF and LF. I'm quite confused where I'm supposed to stick my speaker wires to. For a couple of weeks now, I stuck the ecosse 2.3 white wire to the HF of the "-" = black tab and the red wire to the LF of the "+" =red tab, is this correct? Then today, for no reason, i decided to stick all of the wire ends to HF sides for both polarities. My question is, which method is the correct one? Will it damage my speakers if, in case, I didnt stick it properly? ??? Btw, I have been using it for 56.5 hrs already.
sir
nasaan na yung b4 mo? benta na rin ba? :-\

Not selling mine but rather >:D >:D >:D

suggest you ask your friend to use credit card...siguro di naman malaki ang dagdag...you still save a lot kung half price compared dito ;)

To owners of ma bronze speakers and hk avrs,
Has anyone tried bi-wiring their speakers? Any observed improvements in the sounds?
M planning to bi-wire the b4s. I'm using ecosse 2.3 and a "generic" audio pro wires. Is the audio pro good enough or should I buy another set of ecosse?
And btw, I plan to bi-wire the b4s based on this diagram.
comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks!

number1
don't see anything wrong with your bi-wiring plan. Just a tad difference for me, when bi-wiring, but this would depend on what type and brand of wires you're going to use. Would rather suggest to just use a single run for each speaker, no need to bi-wire. Just change the jumpers, cut a short length from your ecosse wire and use them as jumpers (tipid ka pa :)). Used to have them ecosse 2.3 but i already traded them. IMHO, ecosse 2.3 wires are very good for breaking-in, especially on MA's, since the B4s' sound very harsh out of the box. The wires will tame the harshness. Once your B4s' are already broken-in, switch to XLO speaker wires. You'll definitely hear a very big difference. :D
again this is just me. suggestion lang sir. ;)

thanks for the reply kimpao. Its just i have some spare audio pro lying around. I will experiment with them though.
how much is the XLO wires per meter and where are they available? Do you think its worth upgrading to high end stuff like kimber?

try the xlo pro650f first before spending your money on kimber cables, the sonic improvements between the xlo and kimber might not justify the price diff.

mga sir saan ninyo nabibili xlo cables ninyo? terminated na ba? how much?
-
number1,
Check-out WATT HI-FI but I do know that they already ran of XLO/Pro 650f. The last few meters was nabbed by one of our fellow member. >:( >:( (kuya, peace tayooooo!!!!!!!!!!) What they do have in stock right now is the XLO/VDO er14 which is also a very nice speakerwire and comparable to other high-end wires. I got the XLO/PRO 650f for about Php 200/foot and the XLO/VDO er14 for Php 100/foot. They told me that stocks of the 650f will be coming in late june and with a much higher price. Yup, john5479 is right better try the XLO first before spending on other exotic cables. "Bang for the buck" and "sonic improvements" between the two, i'd go for the XLO/PRO 650f anytime, matches very well with the B4 (para di OT ;D)
rony,
nope, not yet terminated but they do have a pair of factory terminated XLO/PRO which is arounbd 5k, i guess. ::)
carlos888,
sir, komisyon ko!!!!!!!! Mwehehehehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Joke Only! ;D

Batang ecosse dati yan si Master! Bumalgtad na !!!! XLO Boy na yan!!!!!! Di pa daw broken-in pero ganda na raw tumunog. Sabi ko nga mas ok yung B4 (para di OT) ngayon nung nag-switch ako sa XLO
-
OT to bro...but here's my take on these cables:
(1) XLO 650PF ...very musical, bass a little muddy (because cables are not yet broken-in), highs little rolled-off...probably since the cables are brand new...by the way, thanks caloy and elmo for allowing me to borrow...
(2) ecosse cs 2.3...very, very, very musical, bass is extended but tight...very forgiving for the highs...reveals bad pressing/bad recording especially when you're using reference CD players...very good for vocals, very good for SET amps...
(3) ixos gamma 6006...musical, very dynamic...very good for PP amps...
but this is me...
...speakers used??? MA - secret! :D :P
pero teka, MA naman speakers eh, eh di hindi ako OT, hehehe! :P
thanks! :D

Its not me. ;D But the owner said the person who wanted to audition it, is also a pinoydvd member. :) But I couldn't pronounce the person's handle ;) Anyway it didnt make sense to have 4 pcs of B4 in the house! :o :o :o
Has anyone auditioned the MA B6? How does it compare to the venerable MA B4, aside from being able to go lower? Is this a good upgrade for B4 owners?
My dream upgrade is a pair of MA S10 for music only! :o :o I wish ;D
kimpao,
Have you tried bi-wiring your B4 with the XLO and the ecosse 2.3?
Thanks!
-
MA B6 - too much bass, sir. its really not about going lower but how it blends well with this other drivers. this one is for large, if not, very large rooms. :)
Nope. Haven't tried bi-wiring it using XLO and ecosse. what i tried was XLO/PRO and the XLO/VDO. Ganda sir! Nice for audio. ;D ;D ;D
-

ayaw ko na mag upgrade mahal na ito(B6) ;D ;D ;D cguro konti lang din diperensya in term of sound
-
J_albert,
PRe agree minimal difference lang basta clean and crisp sounding amp mo susunod din speaker mo.

not such a bargain if you know what kimpao paid for his B4. :) ;D :o
A bargain if you consider today's prices. :)

guys, any S6 or S8 users here??? in your experience, what's the best "budget" cables you've used with MAs aside from ecosse and XLO...thanks! :D
-
the ecosse and XLO are very good budget wires i have used so far. But I stongly dont recommend using anything below these two wires especially the generic wires like audio pro. The generics made the speakers sound thin, watered down the detail and bass. :P
-
superman,
Try mo Ixos 6006..
-
thanks hans!...manghihiram muna ko...pero teka, wala pa rin kasi akong speakers eh...sigh!

yes sir, may new owner na...ayaw pa-identify eh, hehehe...GR-10??? sana nga, hehehehe! 8)

superman,
Pre di on the hunt ka for new replace?? GR10 o S8?? ;D
congrats pala dun sa happy satisfied new owner ng S2..
-
yah, i'm on the hunt...thanks bro...swerte nung nakabili nung MA S2 ko, maalaga tayo eh...dami options eh...not only limiting myself to MAs...i'd like to have a full-range sound...but of course, MA is still the top priority...i may even go for "budget" speakers that will match my tube amp...haven't had time to really audition my speaker choices...i've been a "jetsetter" because of work...plus, i've been spending time with my supergirl in davao...so parang rest muna sa audio...kaya medyo tahimik sa bahay ngayon, hehehe!...i'd like to make the most out of whatever purchase i'm going to make...as i would want it (with fingers crossed) to be my last upgrade for the meantime...i'm really set on saving for the "future" with supergirl...o ayan ha, i'm being a good example ha, hehehehe!...i believe that audio can wait...but supergirl might not be able to wait for me (kaya ngayon pa lang ipon na kami - for the next 2years ipon pa since feb. 2006 ang target date)...plus i'll be relocating earlier kaya kailangan din magset-aside for a house, furniture, appliances, etc...kaya wise purchase talaga dapat...anyway, thanks, at baka mapaiyak pa ako nito lalo, huhhuhhuhhuh! :-[ :-[ :-[

To those who have auditioned both the MA silver and bronze series on the same set of equipments, would you say the difference would be like night and day? Is the Silver really worth the double price of the bronze?
I, for myself, heard the S6 and it sounds really great, but on audio gears much more expensive than mine.
-
yes, it's worth the extra cost...malayo ang tunog...
-
yes, it's worth the extra cost...malayo ang tunog...
How and in what ways do they deviate?
Btw, I noticed that the bronze series has lots of awards and the silver series has almost nil....I wonder?
The S10 is said to cost P85K+.

S1 and B2...S1 has a much smoother midrange compared to a B2, a B2 may carry more bass but the s1 sounds more natural....so I would prefer the S1 over the B2, even if the S1 costs more.
-

most likely it's because the price was factored in.

you'd be surprised - i have owned both the B2 and the S1... the S1 beats the B2 in terms of bass quality and quantity + plus it has smoother mids and cleaner highs :)

Well I haven't auditioned a fully broken in S1, pahihiramin mo ko?? hehehe jk ;D
-
i agree with iceman...yes, it's really worth the extra cost...even the SET amps of hyperaudio are hooked-up with the S1...and using a turntable at that...smoother mids vs. the B2...of course if you want more bass, then S2 is it...if you want full range then S6...thanks! 8)
-
it has smoother mids and cleaner highs
Syempre naman yan yun EXtra charge!!.. ;D
-
yes S1 is good compared with B2.. but the difference is not night/day.. but the price ::) ... S1 almost doubles the price of a B2.. again it all boils down to the decision of the buyer.. if the sound difference negates the price difference.. IMHO :)
-
thanks for the inputs. :)
I have some more questions:
1. Does the MA B4 come with foam bungs as a standard ? Has anyone experimented with using them?
2. Any suggestions in tweaking/optimizing the B center? I have calibrated the speakers but I find the dialogue a tad too soft coming from B center when watching dvds. So I have to crank up the volume to -13db and above, almost as if its really hard to drive. Btw, my settings: FL=+6db ,Center=+5db, FR =+4db.
-

It should have, the says. Got mine out of the box, bro. If you don't have the bungs, no big deal about this, try using and old pair of socks. Make sure na labhan mo lang pre. Ahehehehehe ;D The front port controls the bass driver and the rear port controls the mid bass driver. My experience, much tighter bass, or is it the other way around. ::) Really, depends on your listening preference. I myself like it the way it is, uncovered. :)
-
number1,
Where did you place your center?? is it ear level?? if not try to tilt it a little towards you ears.. or is your center new?? hehehehe pre break in mo pa konti thats the problem with bronze center when not yet broken in..
-
wait for your B center to break-in... I almost immediately returned it once I first hooked it up.. bi-wiring would also help if your not that patient.. :)
-
number1,

its 6 months old and I think its broken in already. I have used it for at 60hrs+ for dvds and tv. I placed it right under the TV. :)
-
bro...what receiver are you using??? is it consistent in all softwares that you're using??? 8) sometimes kasi it's software dependent eh...jus a thought...thanks! 8)
-
number1,
i kinda noticed that too. the b center may be harder to drive than my b2s. but i think it may be disc dependent also. when watching original dvds, i set fronts and center levels to 0. but when watching pdvds, ive to jack up the center sometimes up to +5 with fronts still at 0.
-

I use the HK 5500. I find that it sounds better when used with ordinary tv shows, but not really with dvds even the original ones. :)

you are right, it became really evident when I watched a pdvd a friend lent me. ;D But still, even watching my collection of original R1s, it is quite soft. Ok, its probably my fault also since I dont watch at "movie-theater" level of volume since i might disturb the neighbors.
================================
I will probably change the bcenter spk wires into the XLO PRO 650F, to match my fronts which have been wired with the XLO also.

your wire/s for the center channel might be the culprit, bro. try using one of the xlos' first before buying another run. would suggest that you go for the er14 for the center. :)
-
Number1,
Try mo suggestion ni Cousin skeeter increase the level of the center channel to 3+ to 4+ then yun left and right to 0 lang.. ganyan din gawa ko.. try mo rin set large setting you notice mas fuller the voice than small setting O0.

another culprit could be your digital interconnects, are you using co-axial or optical? since it sounds good with tv programs (meaning the analog connection is used)

supes, maraming-maraming salamt sir kakahiya tuloy sa iyo for the hassle, anyway, i owe you one, bro!

no problem bro... hope to "complete" my set-up soon... enjoy your new toy! 8)
-
hi number1!...any adjustments that you made??? any improvements in your center speakers??? thanks! 8)
-
hi superman, I changed my center speaker wires to the XLO VDO ER14. What I did was to pump up the center speaker volume level. But the downside to this is, when listening at loud volume the center naturally gets overemphasized due to its higher volume. I have yet to test it extensively though since I'm presently preoccupied with building a purely audio setup albeit with just an integrated amp so far. :)
Right now, I'm trying to decide whether to use the B4 or S2 for this setup. The B4 is a match, but I dont know about the S2. Will the bass of the S2 be adequate enough for music listening (mostly jazz, vocals, some r&b, etc..)?
;D
-
it will be bro...you can't go wrong with the S2...but the B4's bass is "stronger" than the S2...but overall, i'll still recommend the S2... :D
-

I am quite apprehensive doing this after, i think it was sir akyatbundok, who experimented with the broken tweeter of his mordaunt short speaker and ended up denting the tweeter. :)
-
Browsing through a magazine, I can't help thinking why MA never used the same speaker cones on its B center as the ones used in the B2 or B4 but instead they used the B1's cones. ??? They should introduce another bronze center that has the speaker cones as the B2 or B4. Btw, the B&W DM603 S3 and the DM LCR600 S3 as well as the KEF Q7 and the Q9c, both use the speaker cones for the fronts as well as the center.

Too big perhaps? ;D

di ba maganda yung bronze center?

Di kaya sobra na sa bigat yun center?? ;D ;D
hans, what about this one? ;D
(http://www.kef.com/products/reference/images/new_model204c_small.jpg)
di ba maganda yung bronze center?
So far, I haven't been impressed with it (b center). I was really impressed with the B4 and B2 since my previous speakers were bookshelf jvc component speakers and a pc speaker system (cambridge pcworks). I bought it (b center) to match with the B4s.
***************************************
At the risk of being off-topic, what do you think is an alternative to a MA S6/S8 (something within the same budget range)? :)

di ba maganda yung bronze center?
maganda naman syempre iba din yong mas malaki mas detail ;D

Kimpao,
Pre funny heard before that MA B4 sounded upfront but after our mini EB at your house.. hahahaha laidback yun B4 mo... >:D >:D >:D

patawa ba sir?. Ahehehehehehe ;D ;D >:D >:D

Kimpao SenyOR,
Must be the new 1072 that made your B4 laidback... ;D ;D

John,
Wla na yun s6 pero dun pa s1 kaya oks pa rin...

what happened to this theard?? parang lumipat na yung mga owners ng MA to different speakers a. anyways, i'm still breaking in my s6 but i'm not getting the sound that i want. I'm thinking it's probably the room's acoustics or wrong placement ng speakers. Don't get me wrong, these speakers really sounds good if you use its full potential, well at least that's what i heard from AudioWorld.

Sir Lomi, MA boys are still there cguro iwas SARS lang hehehhe.. as for your S6 break in lang..
-
hans is correct!...the MA boys are still alive and kicking...as for me, i have no reason to upgrade at this time considering that i'm an S6 user already...i'd rather upgrade my front-end...or even my tubes and cables...don't worry, you chose the right set of speakers...thanks! 8)
-
what happened to this theard?? parang lumipat na yung mga owners ng MA to different speakers a. anyways, i'm still breaking in my s6 but i'm not getting the sound that i want. I'm thinking it's probably the room's acoustics or wrong placement ng speakers. Don't get me wrong, these speakers really sounds good if you use its full potential, well at least that's what i heard from AudioWorld.

Any discernable difference between the B4 and the S6? I noticed that according to the specs of S6, it can produce ranges of 38hz while the B4 can go lower with 36hz. Anyhow, if i had the dough, I would get the gold series :P ::) ;D

brightness of speakers may vary depending on the amplifier/receiver and interconnects being matched.

For XLO cable try mo Hyperaudio or Watt hifi..
-
sa watt hi fi meron 2 spools of xlo pro pero yung vdo ubos na pina-reserve na ni kimpao yung last 18feet dahil mas bagay daw with scott and ma b4 combination based on his experience.
i also use xlo er-14 with my ma b4 and amx el-34 tube amp for audio and also with my yammy rxv-440 (b4 and bcenter) for ht.

ginoong hans adriane,
If ma sounds ok and the output is the same using ecosse or xlo or vdo cable, pareho2x ba ang price nila? and kungkahit ano cable ok, gamit na lang ako ng thin wires for Monitor audio. Kc i've research lahat ng mga brand na cnabi mo is isa lang ang distributor. Parang your promoting their products.

the output of ma (b4 to be specific) using xlo pro, xlo vdo, and ecosse 2.3 are not the same based on my own eperience, let me elaborate, i initially used ecosse 2.3 when my mas' are new but after 3 months and x-numbers of hours of usage the base became too boomy for my ears and as predicted by my ever reliable guru kimpao. i auditioned both the pro and vdo with my system and the vdo came out the best for my ears (also for kimpao's expert ears). im not saying that the vdo is the best cable among the three with ma, other gears used plays a big factor here and this is just based on my own personal experience and preference. one more thing, i also used thin wires with ma and the result was also thin sounding (again for my taste).
sir hans,
promote mo ba produkto ng nasabing distributor ng mga nasabing speaker cable? sino ba ang distributor na tinutukoy?
-
mga sir magkano po ang monitor audio ngayon? saan po pwede makabili? btw im new here

this is just based on my experience, YMMV, but i'll be "brutally" frank about my findings (IMHO). Initially, out of the box, the MA's are harsh sounding aside from being upfront and sibilant. In order to tame such, i used ecosse 2.3 in order to add the "body" needed to overcome such waterloo. Now as your MA's are starting to break-in, you would notice that the bass would slowly become over powering and that the mids and highs are starting to roll-off. In other words, unting unting 'nauutal" yung speakers, until such time na when you'll play any jheena lodwick, corrine may or stacey kent track sinisipon or "ngongo" na sila. >:D That's the time you'll know that you have to switch to another brand. Lanceloth, it just so happend that the distributor here for ecosse and xlo are one and the same company, "plain old coincidence". Niether one of us here are trying to sell any cable, buti sana kung may "commissions" from them kaso wala eh. On the contrary, promoting in a sense that it is unconcious, why? we are trying to recommend here and to help new members who are out in the market on what's best based on our experience with different brand but "at the end of the day", it's still one's decision on what to purchase. :'( ;D
Output of both cables, nahhhhhh................. very different but almost the same price level (ecosse 2.3 and xlo/pro 650. ::) :P
IMHO, changing to xlo would yield to balanced output to all frequency levels(i.e. bass, mids and highs) to your MA plus a "laidback" characteristic (parang yung pabder mo yung tumutunog). ;D XLO VDO/er-14, will extended your bass frequencies plus tightens your mid bass output, mids will somehow bring-in airyness and bloom, highs are sparkling and tames the MA's metal dome tweeters, hindi masakit sa tenga and hindi bitin yung highs. For the PRO/650, the only difference i found from the er-14 is that it adds more body the mids. But again these results may vary by using different equipment.
Overall, am not saying that may pangit o magandang wires but each of them has its own advantage and disadvantage at a certain period of time and the equipment used with them. ;)
Using thin wires, hmmmmm........ ::) ::) Sububkan mo sir, kahit kalahating araw lang, then balikan mo kami (post mo results). ;D ;D ;D

To Mr. Lanceloth:
People on this thread are the same people who help me when i started a serious hobby with Audio. If you only know this people they are willing to disturb & help you when it comes to Audio, they can even let you barrowed or test whatever gear they recommend just to show you the difference.
Maybe you need to know this guys! Honestly they will HELP YOU! If they are recommending some brands, that is tested based on experienced! Fish be with you!

Hi, for me it depends, no matter how expensive your speaker cable if not match with your system it will not be worth.
Now, Audience cable is available at Arch'l Audio, they are selling them per ft. By the way we're talking about hookup wires here, I've heard some reviews who tried to replace bi-wire jumper on their speakers directly with Audience cable & presto instant tweak with very noticeable improvements. IMHO what more if you replce your speakers internal wiring?
It seems Audience hookup cables are out of stock now!
-
Naubos na ng mga piranha! ;D ;D
-
Ha bilis didn't have a chance to audition it.. ;D ;D
-
kaya sukatin mo na haba ng existing internal wirings mo para alam mo na kung gaano kahaba bibilhin mo! ;D ;D
cheapest route is the jumper wire, which you only need to have 4" cut per jumper wire! ;) ;)

guys,
meron din po bang mga tweaks na pwedeng gawin sa B4 para lalong gumanda performance nito? let's say i'm using hk330.

To all B4 owners; if you plan to replace the internal wiring, required cable length is 10feet per speaker enclosure. So, total of 20feet for the pair of speaker. :) Mine, only the the jumper wire has been replaced but noticed the improvement. IME

thanks,
:)
-

150 to 200 hours pre.. yun initial 50 hours mo moderate volume lang tapos nun pwede na malakas lakas.. wag lang party level pre.. ;D ;D
-
sir,
tanong lang po... mga ilang oras ba dapat ang break in ng b4?
thanks,
:)
Average of about 150 hrs or so, since this would depend on your usage. :D mcbry are these brand new or preowned? If new, better to use ecosse wires for breaking in then change to xlo once the mids become muddy. :) just a suggestion. :)
Took me 1 1/2 months for my MA to fully break-in. :D
-
wow! ang tagal din pala ng break in nito sir kimpao ???...
sir, this unit is brand new... actually i'm using xlo er14 wires... any tips sir paano i-break in ng maganda ang b4? i'm using hk330.
thanks you very much for the suggestion.
cheers,
:)
-
Nako! tagal pala ang break in nito. Unahan nalang tayo mcbry...
Tamang-tama, Audio Pro muna na cable gamit ko. Pag na broke in na tsaka bili ng XLO... ;D

Yup that's what i also did. para tipid ka rin sa kuryente. ;D BTW, you might want to replace the stock jumpers with XLO also. All you need to do is cut a small length from your existing speaker wires, around 3 to 4 inches for each speaker, then strip both ends and replace those stock jumpers. ;) :)

Sir Kimpao, dagdag ko lang ha...
1 foot of XLO Pro = P200
XLO Spade = P150 (You will need a pair of these per jumper kung gusto mong naka-terminate yung dulo)
Sir kimpao, pina-terminate mo ba yung mga ends ng jumpers mo? ??? ;D
-
I believe break-in of speakers requires time! You need patience, just listen to it approximately 4 hour a day untill you complete the required burn-in process. It's a mechanical break-in Slowly but surely!

OK din yan sir kaso mas magastos. ;D Mas ok pag bare wire.

sir, napalitan na po yung stock jumper wires. audience wire yung pinalit courtesy of architectural audio (thanks to chad) ;D. thank you very much for the suggestions sir kimpao. my b4 still has a long way to go para ma break in. mga 16 hrs palang kasi ang gamit ;D. pero tama nga din si sir odyopayl, kailangan talaga ng patience during break in process... slowly but surely kailangan. :) :) :)
thanks again mga sir for the help.
:)

Bro mcbry/tsong;
ang gaganda naman ng mga set-up ninyo na kakainggit... ;)

Ano ba ang magandang pang jumper... audience or XLO???
-
Ano ba ang magandang pang jumper... audience or XLO???
I think pareho lang yan! Wala pa 2 inches ang length nyan, better than stock solid strips. (IMHO)
-

I'll go for audience for jumper.. :)

-
Sir, Mas mura ba ang Audience kaysa sa XLO Pro?
sir, mas mura yata ang audience kaysa xlo pro.
audience around 95/ft... xlo pro around 195/ft

Has anybody tried the MA FB 210 subwoofer? It costs as much as a REL q150e and i'm looking to hear feedback on it. Haven't heard it myself.
Similarly, anybody have suggestions regarding subwoofers to be used to a MA Bronze setup? I've yet to complete my set after almots a year of waiting. I'm looking to complete it soon.
-
don't have idea on the MA FB 210 subwoofer. if you're more into ht, imho a velodyne cht10 is a good pair to your ma bronze set-up.
:)
-
mcbry, kamusta na MA b4 natin? well broke-in na ba? kailan ang audition uli?... ;D
-
bro t_s_o_n_g,
hindi pa nga rin masyadong na break-in yung B4 ko... medyo busy kasi sa trabaho ngayon ;D... weekend ko lang nagagamit ng husto ang B4 ko :'(... distorbo talaga ang trabaho nato sa bisyo natin ;D ;D ;D
musta na pala ang MA mo? sa inyo naman tayo mag audition para marinig din namin ang multichannel mong MA :).
cheers,

Bro try mo eccose 2.3. :)

A high inductance or capacitance cable would lessen the highs. Some expensive cables that can cost twice that of your speakers on even small runs would.
If you perceive brillance in your speakers, the room accoustics is often the FIRST suspect. Not the cables. Good cables are supposed to be transparent, allowing all the musical signals to pass through unimpeded. Good cables are not supposed to color the sound of your gears in any way. So a colored cable should not be used as some form of fixed equalizer or tone control. But expensive cables have been known to act like a fixed equalizer or tone control.
Sonic brightness can often and easily be tamed down by a well-treated room, using carpet, thick drapes, cushions and teddy bears scattered over reflective areas. Using book shelves with various books can diffract or lessen first wave reflections across a speaker. Room accoustics and speaker placement can often alter the sound that reach your ears more dramatically than changing any part of your equipment. Much less with cables.

mga sirs:
in your opinion, how would b2 fair driven by a pioneer avr? di pa kc ako makapagpalit ng HK e. pagtiyagaan ko muna, pag na dispose ko na pioneer ko, HK na.
TIA.

my opinion only...the b2s are on the "bright" side. if your pioneer has the same characteristics, baka nde maganda kalabasan.
but do find time to audition ;D

bro Lucky7, try XLO VDO ER-14
better to use ecosse 2.3 than xlo vdo er-14. leanng towards detail and brightness ang XLO VDO series, since you're using MA B2s', I would recommend ecosse 2.3 to bring "body" and a much fuller sound to such speakers. :)

from avguide...
(http://www.avguide.com/inthenews/CES_2005/images/CES%202005,%20Multichannel%20Speakers/misc_edits/IMG_0211.jpg)
At CES the British speaker manufacturer Monitor Audio announced not one but three important roll-outs, including expansions to the firm’s Radius-series lifestyle speaker family, a new range of high performance in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, and a complete stem-to-stern update on the firm’s popular Silver Series speakers, which will now be called the Silver RS series. The Silver RS family includes the flagship RS8 ($1499/pair), RS6 ($999/pair), RS1 ($599/pair), RS-LCR ($599 each), RS-FX ($349 each) and RSW-12 subwoofer ($999). The Silver RS models are changed in more than cosmetic ways, with all new C-CAM (Ceramic-Coated Aluminum Magnesium) tweeters, bass and mid-drivers, where RS bass and mid-drivers now use edge-wound voice coils, while the RS tweeter design is now based on that of the familiar 1” Gold Dome used in Monitor’s Gold Reference series speakers.

Ok na match ba talaga ang MA sa HK avrs? What type of MA speakers can you suggest that I should buy? And how much are they? I'm planning to change my fronts and center kasi muna.
Thanks.
-
bro fantastic_23, proven na by many users of MA and HK here na maganda ang match nito... the MA Bronze (B4, B2, B1 & B center) series are really good... try to visit architectural audio at greenbelt 1... they carry MA and HK products... i'm really sure they can offer you a really good price... audition na... :)
happy listening,
:)

Ano ba ang improvement sa sound na nabigay ng audience wire pag ginamit siya as jumper?
sir, i noticed an improvement on the highs of b4 when using audience wire as jumper... actually i got this suggestion from chad of arch audio... the result is great. :)
-
Mcbry,
Naging smoother ba ang highs and more laidback? Lately, I've been tinkering with the jumpers of my speakers' binding posts. I've already tried monster xp and 14ga flatcord as jumpers. With the xp, highs are less detailed and mids a little more upfront, bass too soft for my taste. Reminds me of my old nobelle speaker cable. Sa flatcord, mas open ang highs - mas airy din. Bass of course was abundant but not boomy. Problem lang is pag high volume medyo nagiging masakit sa tenga ang highs. So ngayon balik din ako sa stock jumpers. Strong bass and laid back but smoother highs. BTW, I don't own MA speakers. Mods, sorry for the OT.

guys,
will this tweak work with the B2? when i first bought em the mids were excellent pero feel ko ngayon muddy na. how long a cable will i need to do the tweak my b2? thanks!
-
hi!
if you're going to use the audience jumber, 1 foot each of black and red will suffice...at Php75.00/foot x 2= Php 150.00...very economical tweak with guaranteed improvements...thanks!
-
sir obey, naging smoother ang highs at mas lalong gumanda pakingan using the audience jumper wire... hindi ko na notice if naging more laidback yung tunog ya... you may try to audition the b4 at arch audio... i'm sure chad, nico or epoy can help you compare the sound using stock or audience jumper.
enjoy,
:)

guys,
just curious bout your MA speaker connections. from the amp, do you plug into the -LF and +LF speaker jacks (2nd and 4th jacks from the left) and from there connect jumpers to -HF and +HF respectively?
i used to connect from amp to the center jacks which is the -LF and the +HF and from there connect jumpers to the outer jacks, the +HF and -LF and now ive just tested the new wiring setup i mentioned.
and the results? the mids and highs became clearer and the bass tighter! the muddiness was gone. even my wife was surprised. she thought i bought new speaker cables but actually i just did some rewiring. ive just been experimenting on the jumper wires from LF to HF; from CAT 5 cables, to gauge 12 speaker cables, to generic extension wires and i noticed that you can change the way the highs and the mids sound by changing the jumper wires. thinner wires made the highs a bit easier for the ears. the MAs metal dome tweeter can be a bit bright sometimes and ive just found a way to control them.
maybe theoretically this shouldnt add up but when even the wife can hear the difference, then im sure am not imagining the improvement. ;D ;D ;D she never notices these things but this one she really did. will try other wires to use as jumper. maybe you guys can try it out yourselves.
by the way, i use gauge 12 acoustic research speaker cables from the amp to the +LF and -LF of the speaker. bought them from electronics depot last year.

Mcbry,
Thanks sa suggestion. Problem ko lang ay medyo malayo ako sa makati. Anyway, sana makadaan ako balang araw. :)

Wow what happened to this thread? This used to be one of the most active thread in the section! I guess most people have upgraded to other speakers already. ;D
When I first had the B4's, I intended to use it for HT but now I find myself using it mostly for music. Sounds really good on a Luxman LV-101 stereo integrated amp and even on the sony Ta-555esxII.
Has anyone tried bi-amping their B4's. I know its just a B4 and not a heavy-weight (literally and figuratively) like the B&W Nautilus 800s or speakers by Revel. But I'm curious has anyone tried this before and is there any discernable improvements?

Hello MA users. Im currently looking for speakers and narrowed my search (MA B4, Mission m34i, BW 602 s3, AE evo3). I would like to get your opinion before making the final decision. Ive posted similar question on the other fora - Why would i choose MA B4 over the other mentioned speakers given all things equal (price and qualilty)?
The more i audition, the more confused i become.
-
if you've heard them all, can afford either one, and cant decide based on what you hear...
make a decision based on looks - alin pinaka type mo design :)

Excellent choice with the B2. Iba yung clarity. But, why just B2s? Space or budget or both? If you have the space for floorstanding speakers and the budget, go for the B4. For the amp, the Onkyo TX-SR502 has excellent features for it's price. But do check out others too like Denon. As others have posted here, get what sounds good to you. :)

anybody here, uses the rotel ra-01 with the b2, wats d feed back, do you think its a good combination?

Monitor Audio is a great speaker brand, parang Polk Audio medyo sonically powerful nga lang ang MA compared sa Polk, pero ang Polk has a more punchier bass...Remember American loudspeakers reputations are on their lows. Ang mga UK or European built since ang inclination nila ay classical music sa highs and mids naman ang well-defined sa kanila. Pero halos pareho lang, depende na lang sa makikinig at sa listening preference ng isang tao.
Monitor Audio Bronze and RS Series are assembled in Malaysia & China, While the Gold and Silver series are originally handcrafted in the UK.
Best budget amp..I mean stereo/2 channel amplifier ay NAD C320BEE or C352CT or you can go also for the Arcam and Marantz KI signature for Monitor Audio speakers.
If you want a stereo/music system, huwag kang bibili ng receiver, settle for an int/2 channel amp kase iba ang tunog ng int. amp sa AV receiver. Pero kung gusto mo ng later upgrades into HT, go for a receiver. Check Marantz Range Series, Sherwood, Pioneer Elite and Harman Kardon. I recommend Marantz kase sa built pa lang panalo ka na, it has a metal/titanium faceplate and a massive transformer. Unlike other brands ie. Yamaha, Pioneer, Onkyo...made of plastic. Another thing, Marantz has an honest power ratings like NAD, Harman, Roksan & Exposure. They have continous/both channels driven @ 8 ohms. Pero kung meticulous ka, go for Roksan & Exposure (originally UK) and Marantz KI (Made in Japan) unlike other brands which are made in China.
But the best thing is to audition your prospects...In the end, it's your ears that will be the final verdict.
Goodluck....(The Practical Audiophile)

Just past by at th adelphi this pm MA B2 now at sgd380 (php12k+) am also
hunting bookshelfs hence my jbl speaker foam edge (ring) gave way and
asked for repair but so expensive. pagawa ko na lang pag-uwi ko dyan.
I'm considering kef q1, ma b2, m short ms902 but upon googling reviews
with regards to this speakers there are some negatives so now baka
yamaha ns333 na lang bilhin ko, piano finish and good reviews too and
also cheaper sgd338 (11k php) lang.

hi 18hz,
welcome to pinoydvd. i have not heard the yamaha ns333 but i believe the b2 is a good choice. you may also want to consider AE evo 1, Usher sb520 which is also in the same price range. in the end trust your own ears and happy hunting.
sent you pm.

heard the RS1 with rony's 2a3 and jetok's super dooper super turbocharged AMX this afternoon at Hans place...both are excellent and brought out the best in the RS1... im surprised to hear that the S1 is not bright at all, mid is warm enough for the cold Christmas season, and bass is taut... no signs of kaboom, still in the break-in period though. i love its color and finish...but i like it more standing in a silver color stand...blends well with the silver accent of the MA in front and back and will look more elegant.
parang damit yung naidescribe ko dito ah.... tamang thread ba to?

the rs1 showed positive results hooked up to a rivoed st70, consonance basie preamp, sources - rega planar 3 tt and victor xl-z701 cd player last thursday. first i want to comment on the excellent craftmanship, build quality is top notch, solid real wood veneers, very nice color, love the ma emblem on top of the speakers, high quality binding posts, and the clean simple design of the fascia will turn heads and elicit a second look. i almost forgot it sounds very good too(got carried away coz sa looks pa lang panalo na ;) ) warm sounding mid, punchy base, with smooth extended highs....it sounds bigger than it's size. truly a must audition for those who are in the market for bookshelf speakers.
i agree with new_age na mas maganda with silver stands.........hans, bili ka sa ace hardware ng pylox at pasadahan mo na yung stands mo. ;D
congrats hans on your new babies. two thumbs up :)

Jen,
Almost 100 hours na RS1 ko heard some openness in sound but still compare to rony's titus 202 which i think around 2 years old eh malayo pa talaga but notice specially the highs are more extended now compare to when it out of the box.. will post some more pag fully break in na.. ;D ;D
Btw if you love and like laidback presentation try mo audition RS1. ;D

Just brought Monitor Audio Silver RS last January 2006
Front RS6 x 2,
Back RS1 x 2,
Centre RS LCR
Subs RSW-12
Receiver Yamaha RXV-657
Ano ang actual power rating nitong Yamaha Receiver? Para kasing bitin sa (sound?) ?
Kailangan pa ba ng Amps para gumanda ang tunog ng Monitor Audio?
Run-In Time Estimate 5 Hrs at -12dB ; 20 Hrs at -40dB ; 20 Hrs at -30 dB ; 10 hrs at -17dB.
-
How do I know if the speakers are clipping?
Thanks

IMHO i would get an external 5 channel amp to drive the speakers properly, especially if your room is relatively big.

OK ang mids when i listened to it...i believe it's MA's strength...bass is acceptable...makukuha sa positioning...yun lang naman ang aking brief encounter with the RS1, thanks!

Thanks to all guys. Fixed the problem with my setup. the Yamaha RXV-657 lacks power to drive MA speakers. Got the dial turn just -10dB, and the sound starts to becomes "garbled". Also, IMO not a good match for MA RS. Maybe, as John said - I need to get an external amp.
Had a chance to borrow Sony TA-VA80ES. The difference can be noticed immediately. No longer are the "bad sound" present. Also, the power - oh YES the power. Just turning it for a quarter turn, and the sound is already starting to become too loud for music. That's POWER.
You'll see finesse of sound, finer balance, ... etc.
Still something else is lacking. This Sony's a good receiver, but still lacks the "WOW factor".
Maybe, I'll still have to search for much better receiver.
Again, thanks

Why don't you try Harmand Kardon receivers... I'm sure it will make your speakers sing well... even using the HK135 only. But if you looking for power try HK335 and above models.... ;D BTW, I'm using HK130 to drive all of my Bronze MA speakers... B4 --> front, B-center and B2 for surround and I'm very satisfied how this HK130 delivers power to my speakers... ;D
Enjoy!! ;D

Sir Calvin Tan:
When confronted with a choice between a practical solution and an expensive solution, I invariably choose the practical one.
And IMO, getting an external amp is the expensive solution, which might even lead to a never-ending gear accumulation that will transform your home into a cluttered eyesore in no time.
The practical, anti-clutter solution is to sell the Yammy and replace it with a receiver that will be a better match to the Monitors. Madali lang naman ibenta ang mga Yammy sa buy and sell section natin.
Tama si boss t_s_o_n_g. Palagay ko, sa HK ka maliligayahan! ;D

Actually, I'm still searching for THE processor/receiver which I believe will be best for me. It's a sad fact that most stores here tend to guage buyers by their outward appearance. (In short, pag naka-short ka lang dehins ka na papansinin ng mga store clerks. At lalo pang mapapasama pag naka-tsinelas ka lang. Magsasayang ka lang ng laway sa pakikiusap para mag-audition.)
I still waiting for a receiver, hoping this would be the last audition. And hopefully, I might be able to compare all the items that I had collected, and will probably dispose the rest.
To all members of PinoyDVD,
Thanks

Bro in my experience, fortunately (for them) ineentertain nila ko. Dahil kung hindi ijiu-jiu-jitsu ko sila hehe jk. I don't know why. Naka gula-gulanit akong t shirt wid matching shorts at hardcore na tsinelas nung bumili ako ng harman ko. Maliit lang naman akong tao at maiitim...kumbaga poorboy look talaga. At hindi ko sila sinabihan na bibili na ko. Inasikaso naman ako ng husto, at sila pa nag offer na iparinig saken!
Baka naman nataon lang na walang kwenta ung pinagtatanungan mo. Pag pasenshahan mo na lang.
Para di O.T. , mga bossing, m planning to upgrade my floorstanders at parang B4 ang napupusuan ko.Havent heard them though, nababasa ko lang sa reviews mukhang maganda. How much difference ng Silver sa Bronze?

Kanya-kanyang taste lang yan. Mas maganda kung ma-audition mo muna with the RECEIVER or PRO/AMP that you are going to use. Para ma-check mo kung maganda ang matching. Huwag mo masyadong pansinin ang break-in period - (IMO) konti lang ang ipinagbago. Mas malaki pa ang pinagbago noong ni-rearrange ko ang speakers para makuha ang optimal listening distance, floor base levelling, at sabay pasak ng foam doon sa monitor audio exhaust vent sa likod ng RS6 floor-stander (halos nakadikit na kasi sa pader). -- Malakas talaga masyado ang bass nito - palagay ko pang tubo ang RS6.
-
Huwag mo masyadong pansinin ang break-in period - (IMO) konti lang ang ipinagbago.
Korek ka jan, sir.
Hindi rin ako bilib sa "break in". Of course, all appliances benefit from break-in, but the improvement would not be as dramatic as some people would have us believe.
Except for subwoofers. A break-in period improves a sub's performance significantly.

At hindi ko sila sinabihan na bibili na ko. Inasikaso naman ako ng husto, at sila pa nag offer na iparinig saken!
Baka naman nataon lang na walang kwenta ung pinagtatanungan mo. Pag pasenshahan mo na lang.
Para di O.T. , mga bossing, m planning to upgrade my floorstanders at parang B4 ang napupusuan ko.Havent heard them though, nababasa ko lang sa reviews mukhang maganda. How much difference ng Silver sa Bronze?

For a bigger headroom sa front speakers mo and if budget persist go for the HK235... or above para iwas SARS ka na rin hehehehehe ;)

I just got the Silver RS 1 some hours ago. ;D
I first got to listen to these a couple of months ago when I went to their showroom to purchase the Bronze B1 (or B2?). Then, the salesman suggested that I listen to the RS1. Wow, the difference in sound quality was obvious so I decided to hold off my purchase and think about it. Since then, I couldn't forget how thrilling the sound was. So I saved up some more for these. ;)
I've been 'breaking it in' nonstop with every kind of music I can think of since I got home. Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Jazz, New Age, Classical, name it, and wow, it has been delivering the goods!

Thanks mga chong. Curious lang po kasi... ang gaganda ng reviews eh.
Bro, hindi lang sa reviews maganda ang Monitor Audio, sa actual sound reproduction and quality one of the best ito. If you can manage to match it with a good amp (ss or tube) puwedeng makipag-sabayan ito sa mga ibang sikat na brands within the price range (Silver to Gold Series). I haven't heard the RS6 but I own a pair of original UK-MA S6 which I bought in Dubai.

is the monitotr audio rs1 magnetically shielded. somehow it affected my tv kasi.
-
RS1 magnetically shielded....I think so kase dapat sa isang standmounts ay shielded. Better check their website or iyong mga local distributors.
-
ei tnx, another question lang po. kapag 5.1 setup po ba kailangan same brand and series yung mga speakers. let's say rs1 tpos centerr ko rs lcr din? o pwede bronze or other brands?
-
ei tnx, another question lang po. kapag 5.1 setup po ba kailangan same brand and series yung mga speakers. let's say rs1 tpos centerr ko rs lcr din? o pwede bronze or other brands?
Not necessarily with the same brand, though mas maganda i-complement both make. Ang importante ay tama iyong power output nung center channel with respect doon sa front speakers mo (kahit ano pang brand iyong center speaker). Kase kung hindi match, either i-overwhelm ng fronts iyong center or the other way around. Ang center channel naman kase, ang pinaka-purpose nito ay para sa vocals/talkies and iyong other special effects especially sa multi-channel format in movies & music. 8)

the center channel IS and will always will be the most important channel in any HT system. doesnt matter if your system has 6.1, 7.1 or what have you...if your center channel isnt up to the task then you can forget about having that extraordinary HT experience. assuming that all channels will be equally powered, timbre matching is the most important aspect in relation to the main left and right speakers....get this wrong and the speeding Ducati 999 that will pan across the left, center and right channels will suddenly become a Honda CBR600 on the center channel thus decreasing that sense of realism. the best systems often use IDENTICAL left, center and right channels to ensure 100% timbre matching...if cost is no object then getting the full suite of L,C,R and the surrounds with the same type/model of speakers would be the most ideal. if that isnt possible then you may resort to getting specialized center channel speakers in the same model range as the left and right channels.

ok, tnx po sa mga replies. ipon na lang muna ko. namali ata ako ng pili ng speaker, di kaya budget ko pambili center, hehe

which is better dali concept 6 or the monitor audio b4 matched with hk235? this is for ht application?
-

Payo ko mas maganda ay pakinggan mo pareho gamit iyong HK235 mo. Kase baka maganda sa ibang tao eh pangit naman sa pandinig mo. Isa pa, tingnan mo kung ano ang pinaka-match sa HK235. Wala nang iba pa na makakapagsabi kung ano ang mas maganda kundi ikaw mismo kase ikaw ang bibili, ang gagamit at makikinig. 8)
-
moks, try both at archi audio...better give it a serious listen...just my 2cents, thanks!
-
Sir Moks,
Both are a good choice.
I have auditioned them both before.
You'll never go wrong if you choose any of the two.
Since you'll need to choose one I'd say go for the MA B4.

hi, i need a little bit of advise. ii have a pair of rs1 kasi. i originally planned on sa stereo system only so i bought what i think is the best i could afford. kaya lang after my uncle lend me an avr and couple of his speakers i decided that i also enjoy movies as well as multichannel music. plan ko is to buy the speakers first kasi la pa naman talaga ako gustong avr. what should i do?
center: rs lcr or bronze na center
surround: bronze na pang surrounds or should i buy a floorstander na rs then move my rs1 sa surroound. (i am more inclined to the bronze kasi la ko pambili floorstanders. hehehe. ok lang po ba rs1 sa front. di po ba kulang bass yn? tnx
-
san ba kayo located?
-
a.) meron na ba nakasubok ng RS1 paired with a DENON 2805 or any other Denon? Kamusta resulta?
b.) ok ba na gawing fronts for HT ang RS1 for a small sized room ?
-
I using the RS1 for my fronts and I'm very satisfied with it, both for music and HT. Sometimes, I even watch movies using only a 2.1 configuration.
It's powered by an Onkyo 797 by the way.

hi guys, would appreciate your help in determining which HT speakers I should buy. I've actually decided on MA b series 5.1 set up, but while I was scanning the net I came across a review I think by What HIFI (supertest 2006)wherein the B2 actually landed 3rd behind MS902i and Wharefedale 9.1 . To add to the confusion I was surprised to find out that the Wharfs actually are priced similarly to the B series in the UK. I don't mind spending a bit more for B series as opposed to Wharfedale but I don't want to always think back and regret my purchase.(value for money). Thanks for your help

Why don't you go on and audition them with the receiver you intend to pair it with. If all of them sound good to you, then get the one with the lowest price. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them. 8)

I've got a B4 for HT and Diamond 9.2 for audio (2nd setup). Before getting the 9.2, I've auditioned the B2... I prefer the B2. However, I could not resist the value for money of the Wharfedales. If you're on a budget (and can keep yourself from upgrading), go for the Wharfedales, but if you can spend more now get the B2 (so you won't have the upgrade itch).
Audition, audition, audition. There are other options out there. AE, Aurum, etc.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I do plan to audition them but being a newbie, I was afraid that I might not be able to catch the differences they would have that would be apparent to more experienced listeners. Thanks!

Thanks! Am actually thinking of B4 for fronts, B center and their Dipole/Bipole for surrounds. This set up wouild cost roughly double the 9.5s , 9cs and 9dfs. Assuming that the MAs have better sonic quality than the Wharfs, would it "justify" the price difference? Thanks!

Personally, I would only notice the difference on Stereo mode. For HT I don't think I'll notice much. With regard to the MA being double the price, the improvement in sound isn't double ;) It really boils down to how much you'll be spending time using the system (HT vs Music over time) and your overall budget. In my case, I only get to use my MAs about twice a month compared to my stereo setup (which was a budget setup) which I use every other day. Now I'm thinking that I should have allocated funds to my 2nd setup rather than my HT. :(

For HT, I don't think you'll notice much of a difference and the Wharfedales will more than suffice. With the savings, you may just want to buy a pair of better bookshelves for a separate audio set-up ;)

I would like to solicit you opinions on which is a better audio speaker between the B4 and the 602 S3. I am currently trying to decide which would have the widest sound range from the highs, mid lows and the lows. My music varies from classical, standards, flamencos, sambas, pock, rock etc. I will also be using this with an HT setup but will use this primarily for stereo/audio. The price of these 2 are almost at the same level, so price is not an issue.
Your expert views will count a lot.
Thanks and kind regards.

wow, an S6 for surrounds...HANEP! this on'e excellent for audio as well...good luck! :D

Both MA and B&W make good speakers, but I prefer the sound of the Monitors.

After reading most of the reviews here about different speaker brands i've finally decided to get the Monitor Audio B6 ;D. Paired it with a Yamaha RX-V659 and so far i'm very happy.Bought it for $525/tax.The Yamaha was $499 but was able to get it for $415+tax.Next month i'll be getting the Bronze center and the B1's for surround.Thanks to pinoydvd and to all of it's contributing members for all the information with regards to this hobby. ;D
-
mga sir
as my experience
RXV 659 good enough for RS series and it's fit for big rooms
for B4 RXV559 minimum of RXV459
B2,B1, B center are really fit for RXV357.
-
just tested the B4 and daimond 9.5 w/ the yamaha (at spectra) and dali concept 6 w/ hk reciever (at AA) kahapon.
Here is my .02 , note im no guru or an audiophile this is just personal opinion lang po.
Audio - tested w/ finger style guitar cds and alicia keys cd
Diamond 9.5 w/ yamaha - Ok na combo great for all around music, mas mayron syang lows compared to the other too. Pero di overwhelming but you can definitely tell it was there.
B4 w/ yamaha - Ang ganda ng highs and mids, parang dito talaga bumagay yung yamaha. Napaka clear ng snapping ng guitars and ok sya sa pianos.
Dali w/ hk - ill fit this in between the Diamond 9.5 and B4. Ok din sya pero i was expecting more for music since hk ang gamit. Parang nawalan ng konting detial yung music. I was expecting really much more, kse yung environment na pinag subukan ko mas ok sya for audio testing, mukhang acouticaly treated kse sya and dun sa other store bare lang. Pero its a good combo can't go wrong w/ it.
Audio ranking
1) B4 w/ yamaha
2) Dali w/ hk
3) 9.5 w/ yamaha
Movies - tested both w/ dts demo dvd, running audio scene.
I won't give any opinions regarding the rears since it used different rears and when i setup one ill use the wharfedale 9dfs. Para sa akin kse for effects lang sya and i won't use all channel stereo mode and ok talaga sa budget ang 9dfs. :D
Diamond 9.5 , 9cm w/ yamaha - Ok sya pero parang overwhelming yung center na cm(malakas pero wla gaano detail) , khet si jim advice nya sa akin na i-pair ko nalang sa 9cs (tested it already). For movies ok na combo sya you cant go wrong w/ it.
B4 , B center w/ yamaha - Yung b center sya smallest sa mga tinignan ko pero it honestly suprised it honestly suprised us all(Me, my gf and my friend who is a musician). Mas pronounced yung pag hingal nung lalaki na tumatakbo, napaka clear nung mga steps nya and yung may mga sigaw. Wla talaga ako gaano expectation sa B center kse nakita ko simple lang and ang liit nya.
Concept 6, Concept center w/ hk - Concept center pinaka ok sa looks para sa akin, pero in comparison sa sa B4 and 9cm eto yung pinaka less sa detials. Siguro it needs are really good avr to shine. In a week or two try ko makahiram ng yamaha avr to test this, since magaling talaga yammy for movies. Sayang sana magkaroon din ng yamaha AVR sa AA in the future. Since ang ibang buyers hanap talaga nila is more on HT and less on audio.
Movie ranking
1) B4 w/ yamaha
2) 9.5 w/ yamaha
3) Dali w/ hk
Again personal opinion lang po ito. Newb lang ako sa hobby na ito but based on what i tested yan ang aking observation. Suggestion ko lang sa iba, basa basa muna then narrow down your choices based on what others have already tested then go out and aution those brands.
Finally may question po ako. LOL..... Anybody tested the B4 w/ yamaha while listening to Alternative and pop music? Wla po kse akong pang test kahapon na matino.
:D
--kojie

Kojie,
what was the HK receiver that you tested the Dali Concept 6 with in AA? The 135 or the 235? Medyo kapos sa power yan. If I am not mistaken, higher model and gamit ng Spectra for their Yamaha so more juice comes out. Try to request Archi Audio to put their EL34 tubes with the Dali Concept 6. Pero it's still better to compare speakers using the same amp, cd player, speaker cables, and interconnects.
It took me 5 months bago maka-decide on which speakers to get. Don't rely on reviews, on hearsay, or promotional sales talk of shop personel. Only trust your ears. ;D
If you are into Audio, try the Monitor Audio RS-1 and Dali Ikon 2.
If you want an all rounder Audio - Home Theater set up (and can stretch your budget), try the Dali Ikon series. However, if you are on a budget then the Monitor Audio Bronze series for Home Theater is enough to satisfy your cravings on quality sounds.
Plug Plug : ;D If you want a very good speaker for percussions and strings, try a speaker that has Ribbon Tweeters. ;)

hi Le_Stat,
AVR 140 ang ginamit w/ the Dali concept 6. Try kong maitest next time w/ a Yamaha 657 para almost same. I really need to use yamaha for my avr bec. it has some of the features that i require. Mga mid-20's lang kse budget ko for my AVR(almost same sa age ko.. LOL..j/k) and only the 657/659 and 235/240 fits.
I am just really looking for an all-arounder gears. Mayron pa ko 2 weeks para makapag test till magawa house ko so i still have enough time to audition around.
Yung ikon series medyo wla na sa budget ko hehehe.
thanks

Kojie,
what was the HK receiver that you tested the Dali Concept 6 with in AA? The 135 or the 235? Medyo kapos sa power yan. If I am not mistaken, higher model and gamit ng Spectra for their Yamaha so more juice comes out. Try to request Archi Audio to put their EL34 tubes with the Dali Concept 6. Pero it's still better to compare speakers using the same amp, cd player, speaker cables, and interconnects.
It took me 5 months bago maka-decide on which speakers to get. Don't rely on reviews, on hearsay, or promotional sales talk of shop personel. Only trust your ears. ;D
If you are into Audio, try the Monitor Audio RS-1 and Dali Ikon 2.
If you want an all rounder Audio - Home Theater set up (and can stretch your budget), try the Dali Ikon series. However, if you are on a budget then the Monitor Audio Bronze series for Home Theater is enough to satisfy your cravings on quality sounds.
Plug Plug : ;D If you want a very good speaker for percussions and strings, try a speaker that has Ribbon Tweeters. ;)

If you are really on a tight budget but want superb Home theater speakers, you might also want to check Aurum Cantus Home Theater speakers. Contact Noel of Audio Amplified. You might be surprised.

Thanks .. yep plano ko rin tumingen dun.
Btw do they carry yamaha avrs ?

any idea how much ang RS6 ngayon. Thanks
-
RS6 = P58,000.00, thanks! :D
-
ano kayang magandang amp ang maganda ibagay sa rs1, either solid state or tube?
-
i've had an RS1 and used it for tubes, either push pull or SET, it SINGS with gusto...bass is enough...tried it with an HT receiver...it is also OK...thanks! :D
-
salamat superman. mukhang ibang plano na lang ;D
RS6 = P58,000.00, thanks! :D
-
how bout the b2 sir? does it also make good music with lets say a push pull el34?
-
how bout the b2 sir? does it also make good music with lets say a push pull el34?
a push-pull el34 with 25-30wpc will easily drive the b2. will it make good music? it will really depend on your preference. auditioning is the best way to find out. :)
-
agree with jetok...we can only comment based on our own experience, using our own gears...with a PP tube amp, practically any speakers can be used and can easily drive them...
got your PM, will send a more detailed answer later...thanks! :D

wurt 3x,
no problem...hope i was able to help you, thanks! :D

grabe RS6! toys for the big boys. tsk tsk tsk.
buy and sell section still down? *sigh* was hoping find 2nd hand B4s or HKs coz will be in manila on the 26th for a conference.
-
Gud am, would like to ask anybody who could share their experiences in pairing the b2 with a tube amp, please share your experiences, tnx
-
c. skeeter, wurt3x,
if you can find a pre-owned S6, go for it!!...i know the RS6 is a bit more refined and detailed...but overall, if you do not have "tengang maselan", they are very similar sonically...

MA would be a good match for your HK receiver heard the paradigm maganda but a little power hungry.
again audition with your AVR to know if you like the combo.

alx,
pinakabagay sa hk ang ma rs6. rs6s are easier to drive than b&ws and paradigms. Mas full-range-sounding ito compared sa lower sibling nito na s1.
-
which hk integrated stereo amp is a match for the rs6

pinsan skeeter,

hans,
hehe. ok pa rin. still enjoying my hk/ma setup. planning to upgrade if i can find someone selling b4s when i go to manila next week.

I saw at Monitoraudio.co.uk parang bago or improved na Bronze series...actually Bronze Reference series.
Anybody know kung meron na sya dito sa Phils.?
Looking at the specs almost the same lang sya dun sa Bronze series na speakers.

Has anybody paired the Bronze series with Denon AVRs?
How about the B2 with a push pull tube amp (Audio Space KT88 or Duntonic)?

Thank you once again....

I would say if u have enough money go 4 an upgrade..kung meron kana why bother....
remember speakers that are well taken cared off would last a decade or two....feeling ko new models are often just tweeked tweeters that comes in new design boxes ;D
so to conclude meron pinagkaiba konti clarity wise cguro dahil sa technology na meron tyo ngayon...
but not worth d upgrade

havent heard an S6 myself. aesthetically, the RS6 looks much better. sound-wise, the RS6 they say, has more bass and body as compared to the older S6.
superman is in better position to comment as he has owned an S6 and most probably has heard an RS6 as well.
hint: i opted for the GS10 as against the RS6 after my A-B comparison. :)
-
I would say there's a slight improvement on the RS6 particularly on the highs...as to the bottom end it is almost the same...strength of both S6 and RS6 is the midrange...try to ask audioworld c/o joey/kelvin, they may still have "s" models...
-
Bros,
Thank you...Medyo curious lang ako sa sound and performance ng RS6...I have heard the S6 and it's an excellent loudspeakers...Better than B&W, Dali, Aurum Cantus & Castle...for me. I am thinking to buy either an RS6 or RS8 to pair my Amadeus SR1 tube amp when I get back to the country.
Thank you once again...

parang wala na sa audioworld... theres a nice pre-owned sonus faber concertino there though last time i checked...

Sir,
Actually I own the original UK-built MA-S6 (Rosemah color-pls see pix below). I bought it last December 2005 here in Dubai for US$1200 (2005 forex $1=Ph55) including the shipment and used it only for a year kase lagi naman akong nasa labas ng bansa. My unit is in excellent condition, no scratch and never been played loud complete with box and already registered in the MA UK. I would like to know if the local distributor in the Philippines is keen on a trade-in for an RS6 or RS8 model? I heard recently the GS20, RS6 and RS8 here in Dubai but I found it not practical to buy another pair of MA without disposing my S6...Right? (So if the local distributor of MA would like to consider my idea for a trade-in and I will just add some cash to compensate the local market price...Please let me know, PM me if it's amenable)

Bro, if you can wait mas maganda because it adds to the resale value of your set up if ever you upgrade

i went to audioworld this afternoon, i couldnt beleive how "healthy" sir joey is now, i think we have to complement someone for this ;D (the last time i saw him was 2 years ago when i bought my MAsilver ht set up)
while i was waiting for someone to attend my concern, i can hear a lady complement their service and that she doesnt mind coming all the way from muntinlupa to bring her husband's gears for them to check (he's out of the country)
makes me feel better knowing that they will be doing the same kind of service for me, more power Sir JOEY and AUDIOWORLD!!!
ps
sir pa pm naman if may feedback na sa item ko, thanks

Is it worth it to upgrade my BR2 to RS1? is there a major diff?
-
i have auditoned the br2 and rs1, for me it is worth it, mas clear yung rs1. mas may separation low and mid. I also compared the br5 and rs6, i ended buying the rs6 no regrets :)
-
best answer is what you hear when you see it ;)
my opinion: yes ;D
gusto ko na nga pumunta sa lotto nang maiuwi ko na yung dream ko na GS 60 ::)

Thanks! :D

kung makakuha ka ng MA Silver 2, yun ang sure ball na ma recommend ko na bookshelf ng MA, that was the speaker that i heard at WATT HIFI that introduced me to MA, super claro, actually in hindsight, malaki ang pagsisi ko na MA S6+S1-LCR and kinuha ko!!!
........dapat S10+S2+LCR !!!!!! ;D i wish!
-
:) you should check out the platinum series of the monitor audio, audioworld is offering it at a good price last time I went there. if you got the platinum series wala ka na iisipin pa, that's the highest end na model na ng MA. hehe. but i forgot the srp of the book shelf na I think its around 180t ata with the matching stand.

hi sir, ive owned both for sometime though ive sold the SF last mid year. the sonus faber sounds a bit dull to me, bass is ample, mids are very very nice, highs are a bit restrained. there is less air and the sound is a bit on the flat side.
the MA GS10 on the other hand sounds aggressive to me. lows are more than enough, mids are fantastic, highs are very very extended. it sounds very detailed and there is a lot of air as if the sound is not coming out of a boxed speaker. you need good system matching to make them sing kasi kung hindi, it may sound too bright.
personally, i like the sound of the MA golds in comparison to the SF Tinos.
consider also the FF:
-vienna acoustics haydn
-VSA VR1
-totem rainmaker
-LSA audio lsa1
-usher BE718
to me, any of these is better than the SF Tinos but 2 in this list i would consider at par with the GS10 :)
happy hunting!

...i think MAs can be described as OPEN sounding speakers, its this character that attracted me to it, if you're a fan of live music, it will catch your attention for sure as you are very familiar with how music is heard in person rather than coming from a reproduction...this reminds me of MA's slogan " as close as it gets"...

But do consider that open sounding speakers need to be match with good components down the chain, including your cables. Match it with a beginner system and you will be in trouble. Listening fatigue will surely comes in.

you're right sir Edwin, system matching for any system at any level (entry to high end) is the key to enjoyment, garbage in - garbage out ;D

Yup ur right about the tinos...When I auditioned the pair here in Dubai....I wasn't really impressed much. As if there's something wrong or missing.
My budget is $1K-1.5K, perhaps I 'll go to the LSA1. Audition ko na lang later once I arrived in the country this coming May. Many thanks...

Sir,
Thanks...I've heard the GS10 and was impressed better than the domus. However, I want to try the LSA1 coz my outgoing speaker is already a pair of MA S6. I want to try other brands with models either the same caliber or much better than with the MA's.
Thank you once again....

Hello. I'm thinking of adding a set of stereo speakers to my current Denon 28xx series set-up for stereo listening. I just wanted to inquire if anyone has experience in matching the Monitor Audio BR2 to a Denon. What would be the pros and cons I'm also considering a Mordaunt Short Avant 902i.
TIA for your help
-
HI, I am using a Denon-BR2 pair. Very satisfied with the pair, on both HT and music. I suggest you audition to check if it also suits your need. Good luck!

Hi...I think medyo overpriced ang quotation mo sa MA's. If you're in Dubai I know the person who is the sole distributor of MA products in the entire Middle East / GCC Region. Say his price is less for about AED800+ especially sa RS Series....BTW saan ka sa Dubai? I'm here sa Internet City...PM me if you're really interested to buy kase he (distributor) only entertains serious buyers.
Ciao,

S2N, yup the prices are way too high, I met the guy who sells the MA brands at souq.com and was able to visit his showroom in Bur Dubai. Meron pa bang ibang distributor ang MA speakers d2 sa Dubai kasi according to him he's the only distributor in the entire UAE. D2 naman me sir sa Airport Free Zone.

Wats,
Are you refering to Garsan Audio at Bur Dubai? Hindi sila ang distributor ng MA dito sa Middle East. Iyong sole distributor ng MA dito sa entire GCC and Africa ay si Saher, he's an Emirati audiophile and owns the Tones and Colors Technologies including the Marantz Center at Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia...Reseller lang niya ang Garsan. We can go directly kay Saher if you are willing to buy the stuff and sa kanya ko binili iyong MA S6 ko last 2005.

magandang hapon po...
has anyone tried using the monitor audio silver series and matched with an onkyo AVR for HT?
kamusta po ang listening impressions?

masamang balak na major? naku bossing! sabi ko sayo sa dami ng naka separates dito at PJs e mukang tipaklong tong upgrade ko. ;D
seriously hinting to use the silver series with my 805s, meron po ba kayong kilala na nakaset-up na ang HT with these pairs? baka naman may insights...positive or negative...would really appreciate it.

hi Jake, RS6 for HT is a champ...Onkyo for HT is another champ. together, you have an HT good enough for 2-ch audio as well...if you dont like the synergy, u may dispose of the RS6...just PM me :)

hehe! nalito ako dun ah! akala ko info thread ito at hindi B&S! dalawa na ang pumipila sa RS6! but guys thanks for the patronage. indeed these babies are champs for me. the reason i wanted to use it sa HT din is because of the pure audio setting in the AVR and the power it can throw matching the specs of the RS6.
however, i have yet to connect to the AVR. i fear it will never leave the HT room. and for that i would want to solicit first listening impressions as a set (all silver series with an onkyo avr). today they sing very very well with the tubes and i've been able to enjoy lately a wide genre of music with it.
boy, this is tough!

boys boys boys!
OT na kayo ha! sorry po sa thread owner...mga boys hindi po ito B&S section. mamaya na kayo mang kulam! ;D
back to topic - understand that the silver series is sold at SGT at reasonable prices. anyone who's made a recent purchase and paired with an AVR for HT?
-
bro allan....
sorry ha... una na ako sa pila........... ;D ;D ;D
no problem...joke lang naman yun ;)
Jake, u can try the comparison by looping the RS6 with ur audio system and then to your AVR afterwards...chances are, it would sound better with your separates.
another trial u may do is to hook it up with an onkyo AVR and then hook it up with another AVR of different brand(but of the same price class as the onkyo)...dami naman may AVR jan very near ur place.
just my take...since MAs tend to emphasize on the mids,upper mids, and highs, it may do well with a harman kardon than an onkyo. this of course is in accord to my own preference to sound (i like it neutral and balanced rather than open and sparkling).

i got a chance to own an RS1 bought
pre-owned last weekend....
(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b226/XYZledge/ma4.jpg)
target was to compare 1st w/ my 602s3
then decide w/c speaker to leave on my
audio rig.
size wise, the 602's are macho looking... very intimidating
compared with the miniscule RS1...
listening impression :
highs - wow!! what great details! left my b&w's by miles!
mids - more forward sounding! sounds more livelier!
lows - this was where the 602's sounded better...
but, for its compact size, the RS1's bass will give
some BS speakers a run for their money!
Final verdict....
RS1 was left to sing with my Audio rig
602S3 was transferred to my HT....
:D :D :D

how would you describe the br2 are they warm or bright...planning to pair it with a yamaha receiver (i'm more 80% HT - 20% Audio). thanks!

warm or bright is always relative to what you are comparing to ... e.g. i consider them warm when compared to the Polk Audio Rti4

anyone tried to mundorfed there B4?
is there a big improvement?
how much did it cost?

I have a monitor audio br2 partnered with a musical fidelity amp. the amp mellows the somewhat open and energetic highs of the br2. A perfect match i would say as ive come to know monitor audio tests their speakers with musical fidelity amplication.

what makes an MA wonderful speaker is its
able to match with different amplifiers....

Bro,
After a long series of auditioning several loudspeakers in the market. I finally decided and ended having the SF Grand Piano para isang bilihan na lang. Overall impression with the SF GP, clear and well defined highs, excellent mids as in very warm and have ample lows for my music (depeding on the speaker positioning). The difference with MA GS20 with SF GP. MA sound bright to me, though the mids were excellent however in comparison with SF, the GP excelled in all aspects and easy to drive @ 90db / 6ohms. My SF GP is well matched with my AMX Amadeus SR#1 KT90/88 amp especially in triode mode.
Furthermore, SF has an excellent aesthetics and cabinetry (quite heavy though @ 30kgs/enclosure), considered as muebles sa bahay in black piano finish.
Regards,
:)
try this bro...

definitely RS6 over LCR. there will be less comb filtering on the vertical TMW of the RS6 than the vertical MTM of the LCR. besides, power handling and overall SPL, im sure mas ok yung RS6 (di ka pa bibili ng stand)

Recently, I was given the opportunity to own a NOS pair of Monitor Audio GR-10 for $1K (Rose Mahogany finish), the one that was originally handcrafted in the UK. The dealer offered me the GR-20 but since I already had the SF Grand Piano, I choosed to have the mini GR-10 standmounts preferably because the prestige of being one of the last pairs that was Made in England in contrast to the GS-10 that was assembled somewhere in Southeast Asia. My GR-10 will serve as a backup system which to be paired with a Roksan Kandy K2 Amplifier.

There were 2 things why I owned again the MA's, perhaps the midrange magic and the detailed highs, an Indian idea well developed and built by the British....Well of course with the exception to my SF. :)

just a curious ? sir, magkano po inooffer sa inyo ang GR20? pls pm me :)

The NOS GR-20 (Rose Mahogany finish)was offered to me at US$1,400 (including the door-to-door delivery to Manila) from the original price of US 1,800 (plus shipping cost). You will save about US$800 from the total cost.

Sir,
newbie po. mayroon na po sa inyo naka audition ng MA RS6 with Harman Kardon A/V receiver? kamusta po naman yung pairing?
-
MA RS6 is best with stereo int. amplifiers. You may try to consider if you're into audio only some int. amps from Marantz, NAD, Cambridge, Denon or Exposure.
If you have more cash to burn, MA RS6 is best with Roksan Kandy Amp.

do you think it would much?
or may suggestion po kayosa akin na ibang set of speakers for h/k?

for me personally, it would be too much for an HT rig.
for audio, it had to be taken very very very carefully and slowly :) :)
-
The MA RS6 is too much for your HT fronts except if you have a large AV room.
I would suggest get the RS1 HT combo, otherwise if you have some legal tenders to burn, then go for RS6.
But an AV receiver may not utilize fully the potential of the RS6 as compared it using a dedicated int. amp.
(IMHO, a 50W stereo int. amp can make the RS6 sing better than using it with a 120W AV receiver setup on 2 ch. mode)
I'm not familiar with the performance of a HK Receiver, but to be safe. Go for JBL or Infinity HT package since they all belong to one big Harman Family
I'm sure, the engineers working at Harman during their RND for HT speakers, are or might using Harman amplifications for their testings.

S2N

i passed by audioworld earlier and heard the br2 and rs6 and wow :o i was blown away by how sweet it sounded!
ofcourse i can only admire the rs6 cause i can't afford it but i listened well to the br2 and id say it sounded better than some of the entry level floorstanders i was able to audition the other day.
too bad im really gunning for an FS.
the br2 is worth the price.

Finally got myself my First RS1 in Rosenut Color. Beautiful.
Now, I would like to ask for some opinions..can I use it with an Onkyo 805 or Yamaha 863 on 2 speaker mode? Using MA's for HT seems to be overboard for me. Want to use my Wharfedales na lang for my HT.
Or should I get a less powered but dedicated stereo amplifier like NAD or Naim for it?
Totally confused now. ;D

For me, you cannot compare an AVR with a dedicated stereo amplifier. We are not talking about wattage here, but as long as the stereo amplifier is enough to drive your speaker, it will be way better.
You ware saying Naim, then you will be going really somewhere with your monitor audio.
-
I mentioned Naim and NAD..kasi yan lang ang mga SS amps na avail dito. They are a little bit pricey though...Can you suggest me a SS amp and CDP combo which would go well with the RS1? TIA. ;)

magkano kuha mo sa rs1? Jus aking cos maybe in a few months time the MA rs series will be replaced by the rx series which ive read from What Hifi is comparable in performance to the gold series. In which case, baka magbagsak presyo ang audioworld!
As for amplifier recommendations, if money is no object then go for Naim. Or if you can find a Musical Fidelity amp there, these amps synergize well with MA speakers.

both naim and nad would make your MA sound excellent...adding just one more, u may also audition arcam if its also available in your locality.
these speakers normally are bright and forward sounding. any partnering gear, ic, cable should be aimed at trimming down these inherent MA characteristics, unless if its exactly what you are looking for.
for the ICs and cables, u may try ecosse.

Have heard the rx1 & rx6 here in Adelphi, Singapore side-by-side with the original silver 8 and rs6. I think the original silver series and rs series are better. The sound of rx series was somewhat narrow and shy (tipong pigil ang tunog). The equipments used to drived the rx6 speakers during the shootout was a Marantz 8003 SACD and a KT88-based Cayin Amp (AT88 I think). Even the shop owner wasn't happy on the sound of the new rx series.

I have the same observation, parang held back ang tunog ng rx6
-
could be a break-in issue?
-
I don't think so...Kase pareho lang naman demo unit iyong ginamit during the shootout and like I said, even the shop owner he wasn't happy with the new rx series.
The good thing about the new rx series was the driver used, with dimples similar to their gold models.
OT: But I found the new release of Castle Speakers are better looking (excellent cabinetry - especially their rare Antique Oak Finish) and more warmer than the MA RX series. IMHO :)
could be a break-in issue?

or amp matching issue?
During the shootout that was held @ Adelphi here in SG. Both models used the same Marantz 8003 sacd player & a Cayin KT88-based Amp.
Listening impression: RS6 has a wider soundstage and detailed while the RX6 & RX8 ay medyo narrow and laidback. Parang iyong sound sa RX models ay nanggagaling sa likod ng cabinet at kapag nag-off axis ka na sa listening position ay medyo kulang na iyong tunog. The RS6 compared to RX8, ay mas mukhang malaki pa ang tunog ng RS6. I found the original UK S6 and RS6 ay almost the same or very close pagdating sa performance.
As far as my experience in MA and considering it's 90-91dB sensitivity. Connect it with a decent amp either SS or Tube and these beauties will definitely sing. 8)

The last time I checked was S$1000 for a pair of RS6 and S$1,400 for RS8 (S$1=Php33+). I would suggest you buy locally from a MA authorize shop and you will not to worry for some shipping / tax charges and likewise the damage that might happen during the shipment. Plus the warranty and the immediate support of the product.

maraming salamat po sa inyo, after a long time search finally getting to experience this, read several threads about this one being compared to B and W 685, which i told myself only in my dreams can i get, RS1 was handsdown preferred over the 685 so i guess im getting a hell of a speaker.

It should. Supposedly the BR2 is the match for the 685 even winning on some shootouts.
-
fact is, MA speakers are naturally bright and forward sounding. to enjoy them, it would take a hell lot of work.
congratulations sir!

made changes in my set up, RS 1 to Onkyo HT RC180 all i can say is Heavennnnnn
im so happy wiht this speaker 3rd in my list of best acquisition ;) ;) ;)

i know this is not the LF section but trying my luck anyway MS RSLCR please
-
I am convinced... the RX2 are great speakers at any price. They are especially awesome in their price range. Very flexible, refined, detailed and clean sounding. :)

was able to auditon the RX 1 and the RX2 yesterday at Audioworld and all I can sya is that Im eating my own words abiout it. I thought they are inferior compared to the RS series considering some reviews I was able to read but I was totally wrong. The RX2 is one of the best sounding I heard for a BS type.Very detailed, relaxing and not ear fatiguing. If only I have the money.
And by the way, was able to get an RSLCR yesterday. Thanks to mam che and sir jayson for being so accomodating.

its been four days since i got the MSLCR from Audioworld. I must admit that of all the speaker set I have used, this is the best sounding. It s worth all the penny i piad and all the sleepless nights i spent just complete the set up.

The first time I heard how the RX2 sounds, I fell in love with it. So now I'm saving up every which way I can to get my hands on these speakers. Nagbabaon na lang ako sa opis. Hehe!

completed simplifying my HT set up. Gone were the Pi s that i use as front wide speaker. Its now an all MA set up and i have not regretted giving up my audio set up just to get the MAs.

It's a great speaker at any price point. I can't say the same for many other speakers in the same price range.

correct, around that price range nga.
Pero one should hear first to learn the true value of these speakers. I'm not blessed w/ a deep pocket but for its clarity, clinical & dynamic qualities I would say its a 'value for the money' speakers. I have heard few expensive, audiophile bookshelves some paired w/ tube amp and they sounded really good even at the lowest volume.
But given the price-perf. ratio of the RX2, it will definitely not fall behind. Its so easy to drive I'm just using a mid-level AVR w/ it(Onkyo 705) pero kaya nya ng palabasin mga maliit na detalye.
Well of course . . . if its crap, its crap but I swear all my favorite tracks were transformed by these 'sweet-sounding but detailed' speakers. The Silver quality is still there but much more improved . . . as Jason of audioworld said RXs are RSs w/ hi-frequencies edges refined. I agree its not as fatiguing when listening at loud volumes but could be very detailed at low as well.
just my 2 mameras po :)

Naku! baka sabihin ng iba biased yung impressions ko about the Rx2 ahahahaha . . . dont worry po the 25% discount was meant to be a joke and I assure you what I just shared was very transparent & coming from the heart. I'm still looking for flaws and I will share it if I find one - knocking on wood.
btw, I find the magnetic grille cover to be so convenient. No need for finding the holes for that or pushing it hard against the speaker . . . konting tapat lang mag-snap na sa magnets. Cool eh.

i dont think you will ever find a chink in the RX2 if we will just be talking about the SQ. Any other impressions not jiving with yours would fall under preference. As we all have been agreeing here in the community, when we talk of preference, there will be no speaker better than or inferior than what a person prefer.
at least for the RX2's sake or the RX1 for that matter barder luther, im one with you in sharing your impressions. ;) ;)
-
Nicely said, agreed . . . personal preference pa din, as always.
-
hmmm not that good in reviews since i'm just new sa HT and Home Audio pero matagal na ako sa Car Audio...for my taste and I will put my money on it (kung me natitira pa hehe) SULIT and investment for my Rx2 ;) 8)
It's true that you will fall in love with it...it's very clear, the music will penetrate not only to your senses but in your imaginations as well...so relaxing and di ka mabibitin sa mid-bass...
correct me if i'm wrong it's very hard to find a BS with an 8"/200mm driver :o with that price range. 8) so whether voices or you want a little ooompf!!! solve ka sa Rx2 ;) One last thing, it's "very easy to drive" :)
It's for eveyone to hear and jusdge based on their preference...i suggest you hear it side by side with an Br6 then RX5 or even RX6 ;D
at the end of the day...when you go home...ang nahakot mo -"MA Rx2 Walnut or Piano White Finish" :D

For me ok din siya sa movies, though mas narinig ko kasi siya for music. Nakasetup sa 2nd floor ng Audioworld yung HT nila using Silver/RX series ng Monitor Audio. Dalawang beses ko na narinig, and I came away impressed each time. I think they punch well beyond their price.
Smoother and mas polite yung tunog nya kesa sa mga B&W (or the prior RS series Silvers). For me para siyang Focal but with some warmth and extra lows (though highs aren't as extended as Focals I've heard).
Mahirap i-explain, and we all have our subjectivities din. Mas maganda talaga kung marinig mo. :)
-
one thing though that is not being mentioned in this thread was that the RX1 being used at the ground floor of audioworld is hooked to the amplifier by a speaker cable that cost 160K. Please dont get me wrong as this is not to demean the excellent SQ of the RX 1 but more of setting expectations as the RX1 may sound a little differently pag sa bahay na naka set up. I find the RX1 in some ways better than the RS1 and vise versa and they have distinct characteristic. Which is better may now be dependent on preference of would be user.
Im an RS1 user and uses it for HT. I find the highs of RS1 more appealing to me as it gives me crisp sound on movies, which is what I like. I find the RS1 livelier and it seems it reaches my ear faster than the RX1. As for the looks, the RS 1 looks very fancy, which to many people may not be that appealing.
The RX1 sounds more relaxed and gives you a feeling of a coziness in the listening area. The looks is sophisticated and very minimalist.
AS for the RX2, i feel it sound almost the same as the RS6 that is in the LF part. Same impression I have with RX1. Sounds like a floor stander so it fits the bill for those wanting a bigger and fuller sound but dont want a FS. The looks is to die for for those wanting classy looking BS not to mention the Gold Series looking driver.
As i usually do after writing stuff like the above, everything is based on my understanding of things and terms and the way I hear them sing. :) :) :) :) :)
-
sabi ni kt more on music daw for rx2?
basta ht use lang target ko. not much into music.
ron pag more on movies ka kasi i would suggest ko FS na + a good sub. di naman sa di pwde sa movies yung RX2. pwedeng pwede siya but syempre mas maganda sya for audio since nandun ang details. magkaiba kasi yung setup pag pure audio vs pure HT.
-
a month ago with rap2x @ audioworld auditioning the RX2 and RX6.
same amp, same wiring (per onkyo606) as in there's a big difference between RX2 vs RX6.
mas detailed and mas masarap sa ear ang RX2... as in napa wow kami.
We tested first the RX6.. as in sarap sa ear that meets our expectation
then we connect the RX2... kapaw.. napa wow kami as in ibang klase at ang pogi pa :)
Well.. as in can't believed what we heard.. as in kinabit namin ulit yong RX6.. we played four CD. then pahinga about 10min then kabit ulit RX2.. iba talaga yong RX2. parang USHER yang RX2.. lufet!
tama si kt.. as in pwede naman ang RX2 sa HT .. as in pwede talaga ;)
kt - sayang hindi natuloy ang shootout ng BW 685 vs RX2
-
arman narinig mo naman na naka tube yung 685 eh hehe
yung rx2 naman kelangan natin ma tubo haha
-
arman narinig mo naman na naka tube yung 685 eh hehe
yung rx2 naman kelangan natin ma tubo haha
dre 686 yong narinig narin but halos the same lang naman yong 686 vs 685. pero sa ear ko mukhang hinahanap ng RX2 is yong 800s/diamond series HAHAHAHA
-
arman kayang kaya mo naman kahit ano dun hehe
-
arman narinig mo naman na naka tube yung 685 eh hehe
yung rx2 naman kelangan natin ma tubo haha
685 was the dream speaker for me as i heard it singing using a cayin tube amp before at what hifi. but forgotten all about those when heard the RS1 although with all due rspect to 685 owners, it als0 has its own beauty. RX2 when heard in AUdioworld HT room using a 5. channel receiver maybe hard to compare to a 685 or 686 heard in what hifi store due to the following condition.
1. RX2 is driven by a receiver in Audiworld versus 686 or 685 driven by a tube amp( if im not mistaken its
the cayin that cost 55K.) in what hi fi
2. Speaker cable used in Audioworld is around 5k i think versus a xindak that cost 60K in what hifi
3. Audioworld room is larger with accoustics treatment versus a smaller room with glass walls for what hifi.
If the RX2 would be demoed in Whta Hifi, i have a felling it will dwarf the 685 or even the 686 becasue it sounded fuller in a room that is twice the size of the what hifi room. IMHO only :)
-
onkyo606 - we tested the RX6 & Rx2 sa baba ng audioworld using integrated amp, i forgot the brand. I agree with you once RX2 connected with cayin for sure it will edge the 685/686. By the way, cayin in wat hifi worth 45K at negotiable pa :) ...

Yung Roksan ba yung narinig mo, or yung all-in-one na tube/ss hybrid? Me and my friend liked the RX2 din over the RX6, at least sa listening environment nila dun sa Audioworld.

RX2 better than RX6? this is a matter of music type, room size, amp power....i think.
try playing guns and roses in a big room. i dont think the RX2 would come out better.
in a small to med room playing mostly vocals and light instrumentals, of course the RX2 would turn out to be a winner.
also, the FS RX6 might require a more powerful too...so the amp used for rX2 might not be enough to pump the drivers of the RX6 and thus, the bias goes in favor of the lighter load (RX2)
for the record, i myself am using a BS...because of my room size, music type, and amp power.
-
I'm sure the RX6 would fill a bigger room better, and would have less distortion at higher playback levels.
However, the RX2 was more than enough to fill their smallish room size with sufficient dynamics, and show good LF extension. I heard it with the Roksan K2 Integrated (rating: >125W@8ohms, >190W@4ohms), and that combo sounded dynamic yet refined. I admit that it lost some of the HF brilliance of the RS series, but I think it's a more liveable package overall.
-
But in terms of power and ability to fill a room, would the rx1 still be the same as the rs1? I don't remember there being an rs2 being available (at least locally) so the rx2 should sound larger than the rs1?
-
Ganda din ng Roksan.
I was at audioworld 3 weeks ago to buy RCA plugs. I will drop by audioworld this week to listen to the rx2.
Audioworld, thanks for the termination.

But in terms of power and ability to fill a room, would the rx1 still be the same as the rs1? I don't remember there being an rs2 being available (at least locally) so the rx2 should sound larger than the rs1?
im using an RS1 an have heard the RX2, its not apple to apple because RX2 has a larger driver and sounds larger and has a better LF than RS1. What I like though about the RS1 versus the RX2 is the HF part, My preference was met better by the RS1 this is not mentioning aesthteics and price.
-
This is probably due to the bigger midbass.

Thanks just trying to get a comparison on a price basis. How much is the new rx1?

havent asked po but RX2 is around 32 K yata with discount na so RX1 should be cheaper, RS1 naka tsamba lang po ako sa marketplace wala na availavle na sa shop eh

why need to comparo in small or larger room if you have the win spot to listen your favorite music. try to comparo base on your win spot ;)

nice point ayosbathere ;) 8) so Rx2 white + Cayin na ba? ;D

I think most comparisons if not, all comparisons here are based on the "win" spot. But the "win" spot is also situated based on the width and depth of the room. So with a bigger room, there is a need for bigger drivers and amps as well. Try to listen to a very small room and use very big drivers. Vice versa. You'll notice that the difference in location of the "win" spot would also vary. Hindi lang ng room size ang variable. Acoustics din.

With that said, are you suggesting to use smaller speakers (maybe bookshelf) on small room and bigger speaker (floorstander) for big room? I have plans to change my ht speakers from fs to bs since my room is only 3.5x3.5m.

my room is baout your size and im using an RS1 BS, im happy with it, off course the LFE is taken cared off by the sub

simple lang... win spot pa rin when you do the speaker comparo wether in small room, big room, acoustic room or open area. basta nasa same area yong e shootout.
for the amp.. may mga speaker talaga nag hahanap na kaya syang(speaker) e drive meaning to say match na match yong amp doon sa speaker.

Monitor Audio Silver RX1 Loudspeaker Review
A Compact Charmer
March 31st, 2010 -- by Tom Martin
(http://www.avguide.com/sites/next-tech-guide/files/RX1%20Gloss%20Black(1).jpg)
The Monitor Audio Silver Series RX1 loudspeakers come across like many in the seemingly endless parade of unassuming, though attractive, small box loudspeakers on the market. Because of this, the RX1s do almost nothing to prepare you for the sonic excellence that awaits you once they are installed.
"Almost nothing" may be a bit too strong. The British loudspeaker maker Monitor Audio enjoys a reputation for being one of the pioneers in the development of drivers whose diaphragms are made of metal (in order to exploit the light, stiff, responsive characteristics they afford). But perhaps more importantly, Monitor is also known for delivering value for money.
OVERVIEW
Consider this system if: You find yourself in agreement with statement like “the midrange is the heart of the music” or “get the midrange right and the rest takes care of itself”. If you place a high priority on sonic resolution and detail the RX1s might make you wonder why people pay thousands of dollars for speakers. Expect a lively, dynamic, and well-defined sound, but without a painful or aggressive character. Your room should be on the small side for the RX1s, but if it is, and you’d like something that sounds remarkably “high end”, your speaker may have arrived.
FEATURES
Silver RX1 technical highlights:
◦1-inch C-CAM gold metal dome tweeter that are virtually identical to the tweeters used in Monitor’s more costly Gold-series speakers. According to Monitor Audio, C-CAM is "an alloy of aluminum and magnesium on which a thin coating of ceramic is deposited."
◦6-inch aluminum RST bass driver. The RST feature creates a distinctive, computer-modeled, “dimpled” cone surface said to “reduce cone break up and provide purer, more natural mid-range clarity.”
◦The mid-bass driver features a vented, rigid, non-magnetic cast chassis said to “keep the driver cool as well as reduce internal pressure, resulting in the ability to play louder and cleaner.”
◦Port has turbulence-reducing HiVe II port system, said to reduce port noise on high-amplitude bass transients.
◦As a means of providing both a stable driver mounting platform and of improving cabinet rigidity, Silver RX drivers are fastened in place by tension rods that pass all the way through to the back sides of the speaker cabinets to reduce “excessive vibration from the driver and cabinet together, giving lower colouration across the entire frequency spectrum.”
. . . BOTTOM LINE:
The Monitor Audio RX1 is an exceptional speaker, no doubt about it. Its combination of midrange clarity and smoothness gets to the essence of a lot of music. For a listener with a small-ish room (or a high-quality desktop system) who favors music of soloists, small groups and acoustic bands, the RX1 is so good it might do everything you need. No speaker does everything well, certainly not one at this price, so you should know that the RX1 has bass limitations and doesn’t present the largest possible soundstage.

A lot of times, it's better lalo na kung Ht applications. Pero there is no exact rule on this. Syempre, it should always fit your preference.
simple lang... win spot pa rin when you do the speaker comparo wether in small room, big room, acoustic room or open area. basta nasa same area yong e shootout.
for the amp.. may mga speaker talaga nag hahanap na kaya syang(speaker) e drive meaning to say match na match yong amp doon sa speaker.
I think your missing my point sir. Room size is one of the many important elements in determining the right speaker size and power on your "win" spot. Imagine having to use satellite speakers in an open area like a basketball court. Mahirap hanapin ang "win" spot. And if there is, it might not give you a good soundstage, image and most of all, tonality. It will not also fill the room. So there are instances that you have to use bigger drivers. It's not simply looking for your "win" spot. As listeners, we also want to fill the room with enough sound or music. Different sizes of drivers would sound different on different sizes of rooms. Hence, we are simply considering the size of the room as one of the factors.
Got the chance to listen to the RX6 and the RX1. Maganda nga ang RX6 sa HT (in a bigger HT room). ;)
Very musical naman sa akin ang RX1. Thanks audioworld for the audition. Didn't get the chance to audition the RX2 kasi naubos na. Palagay ko isang taga pdvd ang nakakuha nito. :) You can't go wrong with any of the monitors!
-
Sirs, may I know why you suggest bookshelf speakers on a small room? ano po disadvantage pag floorstanders ang gamit in a small room.
-
I agree with Master Nelson.
I think boundary effect is a huge factor. In a smaller room, the listener and the speakers are typically closer to the boundaries. Shorter distances between walls also mean that significant cabin gain starts at a higher frequency.
A speaker meant for a bigger room will have a different anechoic response curve. This may cause it to sound overripe and boomy in a room that's too small for it (even if you position things optimally for the room). A speaker meant for a smaller room will usually sound leaner, and may not have sufficient extension when used in a big room.
The off-axis response of a speaker is also a factor when matching a room. Small rooms have more intense reflections that come sooner than it would in a bigger room. A good off-axis response will provide for better sounding reflections (which can sound great, but hurt holographic imaging), while a beamy speaker can reduce the comb filtering effect in some cases.
Aside from this, bigger speakers with multiple drivers may need more distance from the listener to image well and sound coherent, vs. what is doable with smaller monitors (approximating point-source radiation). Large speakers can also displace more air, which allows them to fill a bigger room with sound without distorting. However, they may not resolve detail as well as a small speaker at a much lower absolute output level. An output level that may be within the listenable zone when placed in a smaller room.
Of course, selection of partnering components would also have a similar effect. The same gear combination may sound good in one room, but may not be as good in another.

another technical learnings for me maraming salamat sir stagea bagamat may kalaliman ang mga techical na explanations eh naarok ko naman at nagkaron ako ng mag validation points sa pagka intindi ko sa mga bagay.
ngayon alam ko na na hindi saykologikal kung bakit mas gusto ko na ang BS kesa FS sa room ko considering na 3m by 3 m lang sya.

Nelson de Leon,
hindi ko na pahahabain. ok. simple lang, ang pinag uusapan "is" comparo ng speaker in same area o laki ng area kung anuman. kung malaki ang area that's it e d a comparo. .. kung mala araneta yong size ng area e comparo ang speaker then .... alam mo na yon.
alam naman natin yon eh.... bakit ba tayo napunta sa laki o liit ng size ng area?

You never mentioned anything about:

in your first question. My bad... :( :( :(
Hence, i just gave an example for "comparo". Very sorry if i have mis-understood you. I was probably confused.
My apologies... ;) ;) ;)
-
one thing though that is not being mentioned in this thread was that the RX1 being used at the ground floor of audioworld is hooked to the amplifier by a speaker cable that cost 160K. Please dont get me wrong as this is not to demean the excellent SQ of the RX 1 but more of setting expectations as the RX1 may sound a little differently pag sa bahay na naka set up.
Very true sir. That's why some people would bringing their amplifiers to the store to audition the speakers just to make sure that the speakers they are interested with would blend with their amps. Though hindi same room size and acoustics, at least we have a good idea of how well they would sound when paired with their amp.
-
why need to comparo in small or larger room if you have the win spot to listen your favorite music. try to comparo base on your win spot ;)
Hi,
You cannot simply compare base only on your win or sweet spot. You should also consider the room size, room acoustics, amplification, source etc. If you have a small room, of course you wouldn't use a big FS or horn-type loudspeakers, otherwise the sound will overwhelm your entire listening area including your so-called win spot (sweet spot). Likewise, you will not use a BS on a large room unless you have a powerful BS paired with powerful amplification. (Sorry for asking, what is comparo?) :)
-
sabi ni kt more on music daw for rx2?
basta ht use lang target ko. not much into music.
ron pag more on movies ka kasi i would suggest ko FS na + a good sub. di naman sa di pwde sa movies yung RX2. pwedeng pwede siya but syempre mas maganda sya for audio since nandun ang details. magkaiba kasi yung setup pag pure audio vs pure HT.
heven't heard the RX2 pero after talking with Audioworld re characteristics of the RX2. it's like having the best for HT and music packaged into one.

it is not enough to bring your amps to the store. what would simulate the actual sound is bringing the prospect to your own listening environment listening to your own set of CDs/LPs. very few would allow this but it is the only way...and sadly, there is no other way.
this is true not only for speakers but up to the level of cables and interconnects, even on tweaks.

You're welcome sir Onkyo606. We're all learning from this hobby, tulung-tulungan lang tayo. :)
I'm sure mas malapit ka na sa sonic nirvana. Mas mahirap talaga pag smaller room. Madalas smaller speaks and more acoustic treatment ang gamit. I'm also working with a smaller room dito sa Manila, at wala pang treatment. Aside from the reflections, marami din kalampag pag bassy tracks.
-

based on what i heard, RX2 sounds a little warmer compared to the RS1 but defitnitely sounds big for a BS, very realxing not becasue RS1 is fatigueing but RX2 has a tamer but more detailed HF( censya na po kung mali ba yang terms na yan or conflicting). I heard the RS6 as well and to me, the RX2 is very close to the LF of the RS6.
Bottomline, RS1, RS6, RX1, RX2, whichever it is, excellent sound quality, nice build atleast based on how they appear you will surely get, just a matter of which one you can afford to buy and which one fits your taste

Just came from Ivan's p(A)lace. His system is best described in one word, SYNERGY. Smaller room daw, eh it's quite bigger than my living room. Or baka lang talaga maliit ang living room ko. ;D ;D ;D
I hope i can audition the RX2 next week kapag available na kay audioworld.

Hahah loko ka talaga Master Nelson. Yung banyo niyo pa lang daw eh di pa tapos gawan ng mapa ng mga explorers. I just have simple SS systems for my simple needs.
Maganda yang RX2 master. Shockingly good for the price para saken. Ok siya with Roksan and Yamaha electronics. :) Beginner is betting that it'd also work great sa CA 550C/A combo nya (and I think it would). Abangan natin ang purchase ni Beginner.

Now, that I think about it. That seems to be the most apt phrase for the RX2. I think it's one of the best at its price category. I'm sure the RX2 will sing beautifully with my 550s. Konting tiis na lang... mapapasaakin ka din...

The most important thing is to know what you want and what you need in this pocket-emptying hobby to avoid confusion and ending up buying and selling of your audio gears everytime. Research, Save and Audition then buy one time of you think that is suitable and best for your listening requirement/pleasure. :)

@Monitor Audio Experts
Wanted to "pick the brain" of the Monitor Audio experts in regards to this particular mix of speakers for my family's first 5.1 setup.
Floorstanders: RX6
Surrounds: RX1
Center: RX center
Amplifier: Denon 2310 or Onkyo 807
Sub: SVS pb10nsd
Our viewing is 99% movies - 1% music. Just wanted to make sure that this mix of speakers would result in a "theatre" experience...Also, if you guys could also suggest which amp between the denon & onkyo would serve best with this mix of speakers.
I also want to mention maraming, maraming salamat kay onkyo606. VERY helpful with his knowledge regarding the monitor audio speaker line. Even talked with me via YM till about 2am...Thanks pre!

dont mention is brader marc,happy to be of help. with this post, a whole new perspective will come to fore and would make the decision making easier for you. let me just tell you that the package you are considering is a wishlist to many people me included, in fact you might be the firts to have an RX6 unless there are some na di nag post, as for the question of which is better, 2310 or 807, make a head to head comparison using the specifications and other written features, respective websites would surely get you this. afterwards, do a process of elimination and cross out the features that you feel you will not be needing( assuming you are familiar with the feature). after eliminating features you find you dont need, its time to make the head to head comparison again in paper, finally, audition
some key points you may consider:
1. 2310 is not a network receiver while 807 is. After knowing your job, im sure this matters to you. ;)
2. 2310 is not capable of doing the Audyssey DSX while 807 is, DSX is one of the nicest feature in HT set up as it gives you the oppurtunity to use a front wide speaker providing a more enhanced sound envelopment and soundstage
3. 2310 is not THX certified while 807 is. While to some this may not matter, the pride of owning a THX certified gear is always a big plus.
4. 2310 faceplate does not look appealing compared to 807(IMO) 807 looks more musculine
5. 2310 has avery complicated remote control while 807 is simplified(atleast from how things look like and again IMO)
5. 2310 sounds really good for both movies and audio while 807 sounds better in movies than in audio.
AS we have been discussing last night, im using MAs with an 807(actually the twin of 807 only difference is the multi channel analog in) and so far Im very happy with it.
HTH.

brader tirso, maraming salamat sa input mo...nako, getting a bit easier na to choose AV receiver after your insightful response. ;D My only concern re Onkyo 807 is the issue of overheating. Have you had any problems re this issue? Sorry I couldn't give you a call last night, went to bed early and got your message early this morning. C Brader Tirso, meron 1-800 hotline to help us all with our Audio Visual needs. ;D hehe. Next time I demo the monitors, please feel free to join me, specifically the Silver Series RX6, RX1, RX centre with the Onkyo 807. If only we had an SVS sub to join the mix of speakers during the demo. ;D

sa lahat ng nabasa ko ito ang issue ng Onkyo, i asked my friend who distrbutes Onkyo too and found out the Onkyo has a fan at the lower portion inside that avtivates when needed and pushes the heat upwards outside the vented casing of the receiver thus the upper portion becomes hot so this is innate to Onkyo. Im using an exhaust fan to address this issue so far so good di pa naman ako nasiraaa ng Onkyo awa ng Diyos for the past 3 years na gumagamit ako nito.

Nelson de Leon - pasensya na rin po. Well you answer it correctly naman.. may mga speaker talaga na ok sa size kahit wala ka sa sweet spot :) .
MA owner - anong ok na amp NAD, ROKSAN o ROTEL for RX2?
If you can burn extra currency, I would suggest go for Roksan or Exposure Amp.
For tight budget, go for NAD or Marantz. Otherwise, pair it with tube amp, just avoid bright sounding electronics. The important thing is to audition and know what you want and what you need, because it is you who will be the final verdict afterall :)

I agree, PP UL in Class A is an excellent match. Not sure about 300B (8-10wpc), may lack the punch for a 89-90dB MA. Go for 845 instead, have a MA GR-10 paired with Maestro 845 SET and it's awesome. :)

ah yes, i forgot to mention exposure amps too. from the GS model and up, at least 150W for SS and 50W for tube amp would be necessary to unleash their true potential. they are rated easy but are actually hard to drive.

Few years ago I saw a MA Silver S1 bs driven by Exposure 2010 amp in an audio shop in Dubai. The same shop also featured the GR-10 and Roksan Kandy MKII amp tandem and it's one of the best mid-end setup I've ever heard. Those were the days when Monitor Audio were still handcrafted in England. The shop at the time were showcasing an all original UK Made System. :)

Supposedly the Silver series and higher are still built in England as indicated sa likod nung cabinets (though baka assembly na lang).

@Monitor Audio Experts
Wanted to "pick the brain" of the Monitor Audio experts in regards to this particular mix of speakers for my family's first 5.1 setup.
Floorstanders: RX6
Surrounds: RX1
Center: RX center
Amplifier: Denon 2310 or Onkyo 807
Sub: SVS pb10nsd
Our viewing is 99% movies - 1% music. Just wanted to make sure that this mix of speakers would result in a "theatre" experience...Also, if you guys could also suggest which amp between the denon & onkyo would serve best with this mix of speakers.
I also want to mention maraming, maraming salamat kay onkyo606. VERY helpful with his knowledge regarding the monitor audio speaker line. Even talked with me via YM till about 2am...Thanks pre!
wow! for sure ang ganda ng kalalabasan nyan sir, Silver Series All the way ah!

I'm sure ok yan. I would just suggest that you look into rxfx for surrounds. Since movies naman talaga, baka better siya for your surrounds. Best for you to go to Audioworld to listen to that exact set-up in their theater room. You'll know the capabilities of the set-up and if that's the sound you're looking for.

The Silver and Gold Reference GR Series were the last models that were originally handcrafted in the England\UK as shown at the back of the cabinets "Made in England". The Silver and GR boxes were even printed with "Handcrafted in England". The succeeding series like RS, RX and GS are now assembled in Asia.
Todays assembly have prints at the back of the cabinets with "Designed and Engineered in England" if the product were already outsourced somewhere in China or Malaysia. There should be no difference in terms of SQ whether Made in UK or Assembled in Asia, however, the difference would be the prestige of being originally Handcrafted in the UK since we all know the English are excellent in craftmanship and their woodworks. :)
That's why the Proacs and Harbeths are pricey because they have maintained their British tradition of the last two loudspeakers that are still originally Made in the UK. :)

I think the pricing's ok, since it undercuts the comparable asian-manufacture B&Ws. Though if they can cut the selling price, that'd be a boon for us all. ;D
-
Yes, for me they have priced the RX well.
So that's the reason why the RX series are priced at a margin almost same as the RS. My assumption before it was released here was it would cost at a more expensive tag maybe in between RS and GR series because of the borrowed Gold driver.
Kudos to Monitor Audio for outsourcing the RXs assembly labor in Asia, that made it more affordable to the consumers. I thought its just because the cabinet was made of wood veneer that made it cheaper. Its cool to have that 'Made in England' badge at the back downside is it always come w/ an extra premium. IMHO, still its the sound quality that matters most. Nowadays, its 'American made, russian made . . . all china made.' afterall :D

One of the safe marketing strategy, manufacturers tends to put are "Designed and Engineered in England\USA" or Assembled in China under the Supervision of (Manufacturer's name)" if the product/brand name was already outsourced. But if the product was built in USA or England, they will simply put Made in USA or UK and expect a much higher price tag.
Nevertheless, for Monitor Audio loudspeakers regardless of where it was built is still a Monitor Audio. :)

Monitor Audio is owned and managed in the UK, but since 2004 its manufacturing facilities have been consolidated in China. ("The best move we ever made," says Dean Hartley.) According to Hartley, parts for the PL200 are sourced or made with the objective of achieving the highest quality and tolerances.
The tweeter itself—the manufacturer of which requires extremely tight tolerances—is made in Malaysia.
The final assembly is done in Monitor Audio's factory in China , with QC supervised and inspected by Monitor Audio's own staff.

With so many companies moving their manufacturing base to China, it's hard to imagine what China is now capable of. They already have the knowhow and the industrial capacity.
I hope they use it for building affordable high-end-class products for trade. :P

Well as somebody has alluded to, MA is still MA. Production, design and quality are still under the MA process.
And as these foreign companies are doing, if something fails, they'll blame China. (Remember Fisher Price and the lead paint? As if naman wala sa supervision ng Fisher Price ang mga products na iyon.)
Anyway, thats a different matter.
I guess it just lessens the prestige though.

Its just the serial no. & www.monitoraudio.co.uk at the back of RX2, and 'Designed in the UK' at the back of the User's manual.

Like I said, if you managed to come across a product that says Designed or Engineered in USA or England or with only the serial # with the company's website, expect the product as assembled somewhere in Asia or Latin America. Products that are built originally from their country of origin simply tagged as Made in USA/England or Canada. Take the case of Proac and Harbeth, the labels says "Proudly Made in England" and they even put the logo of BBC for the latter. :) That's why they're pricey because of prestige in their own tradition.
As for the case of Monitor Audio, I think MA QCs are doing their job very well for the company to provide the industry of a very competitive product. :)

To those who heard RX2 and RX6 side by side, could you describe the similarities and differences in sonic character of the two speakers?
I've read that the RX2 is
- rear ported
- one big 200mm woofer
- crossed at 2khz
- MSRP is P39,500 (Audioworld)
While the RX6 is
- front ported
- two 150mm woofer
- crossed at 2.7khz
- MSRP is P59,500 (Audiowrld)
They have the same 25mm tweeters.
-
Beginner might be able to make a comment about the RX2 vs. the RX6.
All I can say is that they sound different enough that I wouldn't think that they're from the same line, had I not seen them (and just heard them). The smooth highs exist for both speaks, but the lows and mids are quite unique to each implementation.

In the German audio site www.audio.de the RX2 and RX6 were reviewed on April 2010 and Feb 2010, respectively, but not in direct comparison with each other. Based on the published numerical subjective ratings of sonic attributes the RX2 seems warmer (less neutral) and better perceived base (though lesser extension in actual measurements), while the RX6 is more dynamic, detailed and airy, more neutral. Was your impression similar?

Opinion ko lang:
In my memory, the RX6 sounded quite similar to the older RS series (the RS6 in particular), sans the relative brightness of the older set. Vocals sounded less shouty at higher volumes, but overall I think they were close.
The RX2 has a fuller midrange sound, which helps add weight to vocals and strings. The lows aren't as impactful or snappy as the RX6, but it was more than decent and was very coherent. Japanese drums had presence and sounded natural (not boomy), which often denotes good extension (too many bookshelves just utilize a hump on the bass response to compensate for poor extension). The tweets and woofers integrate well to the point that it almost sounds like a point source design (the RS1 integrates a tiny bit better though). It's the best MA I've heard (I haven't heard speaks from the higher lines).
For sure mas maganda ang Gold at Platinum. :D
-
quite intrigued already, have to hear the rx2 & rx6 side-by-side.
for the meantime here's a review of the RX2 I found floating on the net:
http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-108&lang=en (http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-108&lang=en)
The Silver RX series from Monitor Audio is “hot”, for some time already. Awards, won comparisons, positive reviews, etc, this all makes the RX become a major player in audio. Of course those are not ideal – there are no such products – because they do not cost so much (especially given the technologies applied, and the sound), this is why it is worth to notice some elements, and which were noticed first in the review of the model RX6, by Krzysztof Kalinkowski.
. . . If I would have to characterize those loudspeakers using the previously tested bookshelf speakers as examples – I mean the Dynaudio DM 2/6, KEF iQ30 and Xavian Primissima, then I would say as follows: the Monitor Audio are as well balanced as the Dynaudio, have the bass reaching even lower than the KEF, and have equally good treble as the latter ones. And from the Xavian they inherited the ability of creating big virtual sources without the need of overexposing the bass region. But if I would not like to call upon anything, then I would say, that the RX2 sound with a well balanced, very clean sound, with very well defined sound spectrum extremes. And this is really something. The sound is detached from the loudspeakers, and we can really notice, that the rigidness of the enclosure was in scope of the works, as there was no sign of any boxiness, or any coloring of the sound by vibrating wood. It reminds me of things proposed by Harpia Acoustics in their loudspeakers – albeit at a higher price level.
-
^Why do they bother to write in English when it is barely understandable.
Anyway, was able to listen to the RX2 at SGT and Audioworld. Really sounded great even if it was played with AVR's rather than dedicated audio gear. Ipon mode na ito. Next time, I'll bring my integrated amp and compare with other available speakers.

Hi guys. just acquired rx2s and rx center recently and planning to get surround speakers. But purchasing the rxfx is impossible at the moment.
Is it a good idea to have surround speakers of other brands temporarily just to complete my 5.1 setup? Or would it be better to wait for the rxfx till budget permits.

Congrats! I was really eyeing for the RXFX too but tight budget didn't allow me to do so that's why I looked for a cheaper MA speaker(used BR2) to serve as my rears for the time being. Better to get the same brand to avoid timbre matching issues. I might just sell the BR2s or use them as my side surrounds or front heights when I'm able to get the rxfx in the future.
-
@dts
Are the BR2s for sale pa or phased out na? Also, I never thought timbre matching was crucial when it came to the surround speakers. Just thought that the fronts should be timbre matched.
-
BRs are still available bro marc, its the RS line that was phased out and was replaced by the RXs.
I do believe timbre matching is important for all speakers if you want to achieve a seamless integration of sound in your room. Each speaker has its own tonal quality so, much better if all speakers comes from one model line/series or at least same brand as much as possible.
-
@dts

if budget becomes a constraint, the value of having multeq set up comes into fore. From how I understood things, it is always preferred to get speakers of the same series if not of the same family to achieve the timber matching as they say but the reason why multeq became popular is to adress challengtes of not having the same speaker family. doing the audyssey calibration does these things but as to how, i would leave iot to our beloved experts to explain further when they get the chance to read this.
BR2 is relatively a new bronze series so it wouldnt be a challenge to get a bnew one. I got a B2 the otner week and its almost bnew, a couple of thousand lower in cost compared to B2 but almost the same when we talk about SQ, atleast according to people i asked who get to hear and compare them.. A couple of htousand matters to me a lot so i ended up getting the B2 instead but used it as front wide. Im still using a 9DFS for surround.
having RX series a s front liner is already awesome. it is supposed to be complimented by the same family at least but when an extra push on the budget would not allow it anymore, i will get a cheaper brand that can do the job as well.
Rhian Ramos would pale in comparison to megan fox in many aspects, but if having a date with megan is impossible and Rhian is possible, who needs Megan for the time being ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hanep sa analogy tirsoDOL 8) ;) nadale mo haha

In my humble opinion, yes it would be advantageous to timber match. But if you don't have the funds just yet, go out and buy cheaper options. Surround sounds are still surround sounds. I'm not sure about this but even Audio World uses BRFX or the older RSFX as their surrounds. (Am really not sure about this) With due respect to DTS-HD, even if they are all MA, there is no guarantee of timber matching accross different series, though chances might be better that they are.
Suggestion ko if you are unsure: go to an AV shop with an HT setup. Chances are, the surrounds they are using are fixed at the back. Now, choose a different brand from the one installed. And see how it sounds to you.
If really on a budget, get a wharfedale dfs. Its cheap and if you decide to sell it when you have enough dough to get the rxfx, you can probably do so with a very minimal loss.
3.1 is not bad, but I think its still better if you go the 5.1 route. Iba pa ring may naririnig sa likuran and sa side.

Agreed, and that may be true if we try to combine a pair of Platinum(88db @4ohms) and a Bronze(90db @6ohms) series.
Pero kung combination ng BR & RS/RX pwede na din siguro(90-91db both @6ohms).
-
Cmiiw: I think it has more to do with the frequency response of each speaker, and less about each one's electrical specification or sensitivity. Having timbre-matched gear ensures us that the projected sound will remain very similar as it moves between channels. This makes the experience immersive, and helps the speakers "disappear" into a seamless environment.
Afaik, Audyssey MultiEQ corrects the response of each speaker based on the reading from the mic position. This should help different speakers get closer to timbre-matching.
-
Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was the difference of the 2 speakers Platinum & Bronze mainly in drivers, tweeters & technology used w/c makes their tonal qualities unique w/ each other . . . aside from the sensitivity & nominal imp. For ex. just got this fr. the website: Platinum uses a higher freq. ribbon tweeter & RDT bass/mid driver vs. Bronze's C-Cam tweets & MMP2 bass/mid driver.
Thats what I know also, its not only the volume level relative to the computed distance that is corrected after the Audessey calibration but also the freq. response thru crossover freq. settings. But really, are these enough to alter the tonal characteristics of each speaker in a room for timbre matching?
I mean, will the BR sound as good as the PL after the calibration or vice-versa?
-

IMO, the tonal characteristic of a driver will still be apparent after doing an audyssey calibration. i have warm sounding fronts and bright-neutral sounding rears. I can really tell the difference especially with panning sounds from back to front or vice versa. I'd suggest getting the same line/model for timbre-matching purposes. for me, the rears are not there for the sake of getting sound info at the back, it 'should' be an immersive experience. hence, a bigger driver for surrounds is what i'd go for.

@all
WOW! Thanks braders for all the insightful advice regarding surrounds for my HT setup. At the moment, as I mentioned to brader Tirso (Onkyo606), I have to do a bit of "reverse psychology" on my wife kasi my budget for my audio setup (my first ever 5.1 setup ;D) is reaching it's limit, so I've been trying to explain to her that I will just stay within budget and not invest as much in the rear speakers, BUT then I always put in a comment here and there and let her know that it would be possible that in a year or less that we may want to upgrade because the surrounds we bought just doesn't cut it...hence I reason out that we actually lose in the long-run...
I'm thinking if I decide to stay within the MA RX series for timbre matching reasons, I would probably have invest in the RX1. The RXFX is a bit too pricey in my opinion for surrounds.
I demo'ed the RX6, RXcentre, RX1 with a denon 1910 amp and was very impressed with the clarity and detail, especially with the RX1 as the rears. But I was thinking the whole demo session that if this was paired with an Onkyo 807 or above, then I would get that theatre experience that I long for in my own living room! Especially paired with an SVS sub...audio nirvana for a newbie like me... ;D
So at the moment, I'm leaning towards the RX1 for surround duty...

Thanks for clarifying this. I don't think MultiEQ is sophisticated enough to make a less capable speaker perform like a superior model. It should make them have a similar overall character through.
In theory, correcting to follow the same RTA measurement curve for each speaker (I'm not sure how good Audyssey is with this) should get them substantially close in sound, as long as you are working within the limits of the inferior speaker. Of course, the additional processing would cause losses here and there. Dispersion characteristics also do not change, so the sound from another position might be totally different.
-
You demoed the RX series with the 1910? I'm guessing you demoed that at SGT Home Theater. I'd suggest you go back to do an audition with a different surround speaker to compare, then make a decision. This is just me, and I'm probably in more of a budget crunch than you are, but if a sub 10k or even sub 5k speaker can give even 70-90 percent of the performance of a 20+k speaker, thats good enough for me.
Was talking to a sales guy in one audio shop regarding HT. We were comparing 2 lines of speakers. Without auditioning both, the first one sounded pretty good for HT. When we listened to the 2nd line, difference was huge. But we were discussing that even if you went with the first one, you'd still be happy with it when you went home because for HT, ignorance is bliss. As long as its loud and you get surround sound, especially if it was your first setup, you wouldn't look for anything else.
Going back though, I have a feeling that you want the rx1. For me, if you are going to put it on stands at the rear of your room, I'd seriously consider it for the aesthetics as well as the obvious benefits of timbre matching and SQ. But if you are going to mount it and have it blended some place in the room, have a listen to other budget friendly options as surrounds and let your ears decide.
-

still the safest route to go for worry-free timbre matching.
I don't think MultiEQ is sophisticated enough to make a less capable speaker perform like a superior model. It should make them have a similar overall character through.
Ok I thought so, multEQ can just help narrow the gap in tonal mismatch whenever different sets of speakers are in a system.

How will you describe the sound quality of MA RX1?

Avant-garde. :D
J/k. I find it very neutral (subjectively). I have not seen RTA graphs of the RX series, but I suppose they have a very gentle home curve.
Based on Stereophile measurements, the old RS series had a mild gundry dip (not as much as current B&Ws though). I think it'd be less evident with the RX series, because they toned down the highs.

lots of details ..... sonically enjoyable .... but its kinda in-your-face for me ..... I want wide disperse like B&W :)
Still for pure stereo setup nobody should pass off these babies ...... recommended

What amp and front end were connected to the RX1? Were they also the same ones connected to the B&Ws? B&Ws can also be very forward (especially the 600 series), depending on the matching gear.

quite intrigued already, have to hear the rx2 & rx6 side-by-side.
for the meantime here's a review of the RX2 I found floating on the net:
http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-108&lang=en (http://www.highfidelity.pl/@main-108&lang=en)
The Silver RX series from Monitor Audio is “hot”, for some time already. Awards, won comparisons, positive reviews, etc, this all makes the RX become a major player in audio. Of course those are not ideal – there are no such products – because they do not cost so much (especially given the technologies applied, and the sound), this is why it is worth to notice some elements, and which were noticed first in the review of the model RX6, by Krzysztof Kalinkowski.
. . . If I would have to characterize those loudspeakers using the previously tested bookshelf speakers as examples – I mean the Dynaudio DM 2/6, KEF iQ30 and Xavian Primissima, then I would say as follows: the Monitor Audio are as well balanced as the Dynaudio, have the bass reaching even lower than the KEF, and have equally good treble as the latter ones. And from the Xavian they inherited the ability of creating big virtual sources without the need of overexposing the bass region. But if I would not like to call upon anything, then I would say, that the RX2 sound with a well balanced, very clean sound, with very well defined sound spectrum extremes. And this is really something. The sound is detached from the loudspeakers, and we can really notice, that the rigidness of the enclosure was in scope of the works, as there was no sign of any boxiness, or any coloring of the sound by vibrating wood. It reminds me of things proposed by Harpia Acoustics in their loudspeakers – albeit at a higher price level.
Nice find luther.. ito ngayon ko pa lang babasahin at game3 pa naman ng LAL vs UTA :)
MA owner/fan - ok na kaya RA 1520 to drive the RX2?

sir i only got to test RX1 since ala silang stock on hand na B&W .... am comparing it base on how i remembered the B&W sounded like when I tested it more than a year ago .... which is nearly vivid ;D
YAMAHA receiver ang ginamit sa RX1 ...... i asked the guy assisting me sa demo, ganun talaga sound characteristic ng MA daw paharap yung sound.....
Nevertheless even my GF is very impressed and to think she has zero knowledge about audio equipment ..... nag negative react lang nung nalamang Php 32K lol

@sir ment
I just mentioned this kasi yung current 600 series forward din yung sound for me, lalo na yung 683. Yung 684 ata pinaka laidback sa series, then the 685 medyo gitna, tapos pinakaforward yung 683. The 684 is less forward, but still isn't laid-back... yung 800 series speaks are very laid-back in comparison. I haven't heard the 686.
The 683 is more forward than all the RX series I've heard (though less so than the RS series). The 685 seems more forward than the RX2, probably at the same level as the RX6 (RX1 seems a tad bit more up-front versus the RX6). Of course subjective naman tayo lahat sa hearing, kaya baka yung forward sakin eh iba naman sayo. For me in general, pag evident yung presence frequencies, forward siya.
Kaya I asked lang, baka kasi you're hearing the character of the electronics coupled with the 685. Of course if you'd be using gear of a similar character din naman, then that might be a perfect match for you.
It's hard to make a wrong choice naman in today's very competitive market. Just go with what you like, and enjoy.
Good luck sa decision process.
-
^^^^^ i forgot to mention the RX1 i tested was practically brand new and just got out of the box ;D kulang pa sa break-in to hear its full potential .... nevertheless ..... maganda na siya from the box ;D kaya siguro pala forward sounding.
Yes sa dami ng companies na nagpapatalbugan ..... its so hard to choose ;D but its fun nevertheless ;D
At least finally i was introduced to MA ...... sarap mag second system setup ;D
Kasalanan ni DOM talaga ito ..... mabuti medyo nasa malayo na siya :P

As much as possible I try to shy away from this thread. As it gives me the affirmation how good MA speakers really are. And it makes me want to dig deeper into my pocket (and break the house budget) to get those RX2s. Like you Sir Ment, I was happy with my current setup... until Sir Stagea brought me to audition different speakers in different price ranges and specs. Now, I'm wanting more... ;D

Master Beginner,
Don't prolong the agony. Buy na! :D The longer you wait, the worse it hurts. Kumbaga sa may sakit, mas maganda ang naaagapan. ;)
Did Don Alberto tell you? Apparently "someone" got a RX2 Pair + Roksan. Lusubin natin sa VV1. ;D

Na-biktima ka din? ;D ;D ;D
Seriously, if you're really into this hobby, ganun talaha eh. You need to please yourself. Plus of course nandun na din yun plus "wow" factor :o when friends visit you (para ma-please natin si Master Jedi Ivan :D). To avoid impulse buying, try waiting for at last 2 - 4 weeks before buying the item. Then ask yourself again after 4 weeks if you still want the gear. Unfortunately the answer is still yes. Hehe!
Sabay, barya lang yan sa pinapagawa mong mansiones!!! :-X

yes sir beginner it is that good. This is my first encounter with Monitor Audio (the RX1) and i must say I am impressed :)
go for it na boss ;D

Mga Braders
Reading through this particular thread has been extremely helpful. I'm almost certain that I will be investing in the BR2 for surround duties due to the budget constraint at the moment (i.e. my wife :)). My setup at the moment is:
RX6, RXCentre, SVSpb10nsd, BR2 (most likely), & either Onkyo 807 or 1007 (still contemplating but leaning towards the 807).
Really looking forward to setting everything up!
Cheers!
-
For surrounds, consider the BR1 na rin instead of BR2. Some even use it for fronts. Should be good enough for surround duty if you're only looking to timber match especially if you would be mounting it. BR2's are a little big for wall mounting.
OT here but for the Onkyo, if you can be a little more patient, I think the x08's (2010 models) are going to be released soon.

Master Nelson, hindi ako nambibiktima. Gusto nya talaga yang toys, tinulungan ko lang siya marealize. ;D
Mababaw lang kaligayahan ko, di katulad nyo na panay ang upgrade. Si Master Beginner madami talaga datung yan, baryang barya lang diyan ang new gear... kumbaga eh alikabok lang yan sa bago niyang mansion.

@sir dips
Actually, wanted to put the BR2 on stands. Are the BR1s cheaper than the BR2s? If so, I may also pursue that route as well to stay much more within the budget restriction. :)
In regards to waiting for the x08's...I don't think I have the patience to wait for the models. :( Really want to get all my gears set up and just sit back, relax, and enjoy.
But I have to ask...when is the eta of these models? more than a month?

brader one important part of this hobby is focus, know hat you need if you can not get what you want, there are so many things that will come out and too many models and stuff available better than what you want, cheaper than what you have, more expensive that what you can afford. in my case, i can always share with yuo whats good but at the end of the day, yuo decide on which path to take, focus makes the choice easier in all aspect. I believe you already have a surround speaker at hand, so to stay focused, might as well use it, get your ears aclimatized to the sound for a longer period of time. its hard to decide on something you have not heard yourself then perhaps buy what you want when you can afford it. otherwsie, yuo will wait and not get strted at all
in my case, im sure n othing beats the RSFX for surround and another RS1 for front wide but since my focus is just to get me completed with the Audyssey DSX at the bidget I can afford, I bought the MA B2 for front wide and kept my Wharfe 9DFS for surround. This is the best I can have for now. If I get to have enough money someday, I will then focus on the RSFX and another RS1 but for now, the 9DFS and B2 makes me a happy and satsified HT guy
Its all a matter of focus, just my 2 cents brader ;D ;D ;D ;D marc.

BR1's should be cheaper than the BR2. If I'm not mistaken the BR2's should go for around 14-15k brand new while the BR1 should be somewhere around 10k. One more thing though, unless you're going to go with black ash, color of the BR series, which is only laminated is very different from real wood veneer color of the rx series. Walnut colors for both are really different.
As for the Onkyo x08's, I'm not sure if all models are coming out soon though. The 608's have been recenlty released in the US and Singapore (late April, early May) but I don't know if the higher models, which you are looking for, will also be released as well. An audio video store is already out of stock of the 607 and has informed me that the 608 might be ready by around June.
As for Onkyo606's comments. I fully agree with that. Depende sa iyo. I just recommended the BR1's because I know eventually, you'd want to upgrade to the rxfx and the BR1 would be more budget friendly for the time being and would be easier to mount and would integrate better into the aesthetics of the room. (BR2 is a little big for me for surrounds)
Now for the pluses of the BR2, it would be easier to use them as fronts and maybe easier to sell in the second hand market than the BR1.
Like Onkyo606, I too am also just using 9dfs for my surrounds with my small TSi 100 and CS10 (future bedroom setup). Will be transferring to Tannoy floorstanders and a Tannoy Bookshelf for a center soon but will continue to use the 9dfs for side surrounds and am considering getting the 10.0 for rear surrounds. So far am quite happy with the 9dfs and I'm sure Onkyo606 has found it to be satisfactory for the purpose. Then again, there has been guys who has upgraded from the dfs into MA surrounds. It really is a personal decision.

@Mga MA Braders
I have finally finalized my first 5.1 audio setup:
Onkyo 807
MA RX6
MA RXCenter
MA RX1
SVS pb10nsd
Really looking forward to getting this set up and having a movie night with my wife.
Thanks for such a great owners thread!
Cheers!

Quick technical question to all (have also posted this on the Onkyo AVR thread). The Onkyo 807 was benchmarked and these were the following results:
HT Labs Measures
Five channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads:
0.1% distortion at 105.5 watts
1% distortion at 122.0 watts
Since my RX speakers are a 6-ohm load, what could I assume would be the wpc output for five channels driven continuously for 6 ohms?

Typically, it would be a bit higher with 5 or more channels driven (and a lot higher with just 1 or 2 channels driven).

lower ohm needs more power i think. If 807 produce max 135wpc @8ohm therefore it will produce 160-180wpc @ 6ohms
-
The ramp isn't very steep with multichannel receivers, lalo na kung simultaneously driven yung channels. Nagcocollapse kasi yung rail kadalasan. Given the quoted performance at 8 ohms, swerte ka na sa 130wpc at 0.1% distortion sa 6 ohm load (5 channels driven).

Thanks! I know that this will be leaps & bounds better than our previous audio setup..............................A Philips HTS8140 Soundbar. But my wife & I enjoyed many a movie nights with the Soundbar, and were actually sad to see it go, but had to sell it for additional funds towards the 5.1 setup upgrade! ;D The setup is planned for Saturday, so it should be a late night movie marathon, starting with my all-time favorite - - - - - Batman.The Dark Knight!

Oh no!!! Condo? Galit galit siguro sa inyo ang neighbors niyo diyan. Lalo na kung late nights. SVS pa!!! Hahaha. Live in a condo myself and when I moved in I was hearing this very light exploding sound but with rumble. I even called the guard to ask if they heard anything. (Di naman malakas at istorbo... distressing lang kapag di mo alam kung ano.) It was only after PDVD and after auditioning in audio shops that I thought na malamang HT lang iyon. ;D

@dips & rastasega
Braders. nako, yun yung fear ko...the neighbors. pero, yung condo namin sa corner. I had many a loud movie nights using my soundbar, and walang complaints. BUT the comparison between a philips soundbar sub vs. an SVS pb10nsd is like comparing....well....you know what i mean. ;D
When the security knocks at the door, I will just turn off the system and act like I have no idea what they are talking about. ;)
to be honest, most viewing times will be during the day that my son and his yaya will be at the play area and my wife and I can get a good two hours in of movie viewing (1 movie) or music relaxation. I feel like a little kid on Christmas day getting all these gears. ;D

ikaw talaga brader, multik mo pang idispatsa yung MA :D, wharf din sana ang temp. surround ko kaso, nabigyan naman ako ng magandang payment terms nung dealer, kaya grab ko na rin. para MA all the way na, ika nga ni brader pip. ;D

yes bro less888 30k is a lot of money for surround. RX series ka nga pala which is the newer series in MA , nag quote ako sa mga local seller gnyn nga price ng RXFX. The dealer here in KSA gave me a good deal for the last pair of RSFX, 20k (converted to php),50/50 payment terms, para daw timbre match na. sabi nga nung arabo "why you will put a stranger in your system?" dahil nag pa quote ako ng wharf dfs10 14k ang price nya. 6k difference, kaunting ipon lang naman, i decide for MA.

hello MA gurus,
just like to get your valuable inputs. I'm considering MA's bronze series (for my fronts lang muna :) ). I'm initially considering BR2. But then with only about S$50 difference for the price of BX2, should I go for BX2?
Next, considering the price of either bookshelves + stands, should I go for BR5 or BX5 instead (btw, there's S$100 difference sa price ng BR5 at BX5). Correct me if I'm wrong but these floorstanders have deeper bass? Kasi wala pa sa budget yung sub :(
Last (sorry dami kong tanong), I've read for the last few pages ng thread about MAs being matched with Onkyo. Ano ba ang characterictics ng MA in general? bright? neutral? laid back? Will these characteristic match that of Onkyo? How about HK? Gusto ko sana HK kaya lang baka naman hindi matched. Any Onkyo/MA or HK/MA ownwers can provide inputs?
Just in case po pala, planning to get either Onkyo SR608 or HK 255 (di ko alam baket wala daw HK 260 dito sa Singapore ??? ). Sa bedroom lang po gagamitin and for the time being e 2-ch stereo muna.
TIA!
-
Hi r0n1n, regarding sa price difference its better to get the new series MA BX, for some improvement from the former BR. In "my opinion" as I heard the Bronze series it is Neutral
and have a punchy & deep bass . In your last question regarding sa MA & Onkyo Combo, you will not go wrong with it,
High models Onkyo receivers, have a lot of features & lot of power, sa pagkakalaam ko, yung mga series 60x pataas.
MA & HK combo, di ko pa to natetesting. but another Combo is MA & Marantz, Marantz receiver have a least feature compare
sa Onkyo. Pero sabi nga ng kaibigan ko kanya kanyang preference lang yan.hehe.
by the way di po ako Guru, Just want to share "my opinion & experience" sa MA speakers, you're in the right road brader ;D

MONITOR AUDIO BX2 Review
*
For
Excellent detail resolution and transparency for the money; impressive finish
*
Against
Not as forgiving as some, so will show up a poor system
Budget products are the hardest kind to design well. Every single aspect of the design is built down to a price. With this in mind it’s impressive that Monitor Audio’s Bronze BX2 – the first of an all-new Bronze range – not only sounds great but looks great too.
The BX2’s front panel is an uncluttered affair, thanks mainly to magnetic grille holders and the lack of visible bolts holding the drive units in place.
The tweeter bolts are hidden behind its protective mesh, and the mid/bass unit is held on a single rigid bolt that goes through the enclosure’s back panel.
This arrangement not only leads to cleaner aesthetics but neatly reduces the amount of vibration fed into the cabinet, which makes for improved clarity.
New, and improved
Both BX drive units are new designs. Despite looking familiar, much work has been done on the 25mm C-CAM (Ceramic Coated Aluminium Magnesium) dome tweeter to improve sensitivity, bandwidth and resolution.
The partnering 16.5-cm mid/bass also uses a C-CAM diaphragm. Its chassis and motor unit have been optimised for improved performance using ideas first seen in the company’s much-liked Silver RX range.
How do the BX2s sound? In a word, excellent. Let’s get the negatives out of the way first. These are not warm or easy-going speakers. If you feed them hard recordings or unruly electronics they won’t soften the experience.
Great sound for the money
However, partner these speakers with quality budget electronics such as Marantz’s 6003 CD and amplifier pairing, and you’ll get a great sound for the money.
These Monitor Audios are fast- and agile-sounding speakers. They dig up masses of detail, sounding as at home with the bitter sweet pop of The Magnetic Fields as with a large-scale Schubert symphony.
There’s a decent amount of bass weight, and provided they sit on some rigid stands a little away from a rear wall, you’ll get a decent stereo image too.
The BX2s are good enough to give the class leaders a real fright.

i remember a pdvd member named Transporter selling his BR5 (black) SRP of Php 18k o 19k ata yun. ;D
Brand new of BR5 is 25k, RX2 = 33.6K, RX6 = 47k
all in discounted price as i quote at different local sellers.
;)
-
bx2 is incoming by november or december. thats what audio stores told me.
if br2 is 25k, then rx1 would seem a better proposition @27k, a step-up range, latest silver series.
---
at least two audioShop are also pairing MA silver series (rx2, rx6) with Audio Analogue Crescendo (50-watter).
havent auditioned them yet, hows ur impression?

Sirs, question lang po, yung br5 ay may impedance na 6 ohms, what would be the difference to other FS na may 8 ohms impedance? What should I look in specs of FS sensitibity and impedance po ba (higher the better?)
Salamat

Salamat
Forget about impedance and sensitivity. If it sounds good enough for you and loud enough for you and looks good enough for you, then go ahead. Specs across different makes are not too far off from one another.
Anyway, short answers. Lower impedance - harder to drive, need more current. Lower sensitivity - less loud, given the same amount of power.

to all the monitor audio owners there, can i ask you guys to point me to the right direction where i can audition them? id really like to check them out and maybe buy na my speakers finally

Kung QC ka, try mo kay AudioWorld Banaue. I know they can demo the MAs.

my bad!
its a Pair of B2s, B4s and Bronze Centre (NOT the BR series) all for 35K, all made in UK
can someone post the fair market value of these 1st generation MAs if it were slightly used

i highly recommend MA's BR5 and BR2. both are excellent speakers if you're after the MA brand.
also consider the B&W 685, you can never go wrong with these choices.
cheers. :)

nice, di ka rin nakatiis sa MAs.
anyway, saw the B2 / B4 / Bronze centre specs = up to 22KHz lang HF extension nya, far from the 30KHz for the BR2 / BR5 / BRLCR or of the new BX series.

Hi guys, Bumili ako ng RX6 4 months ago, ang problema hanggang ngayon ay very harsh pa rin ang lower frequency ng tweeter especially sa matinis na voice. Average playing time 2-3 hours every other day on moderate sound level. Mawawala rin kaya yon? Hanggang kelan kaya? Anybody have experienced on RX6? Thanks.

is it over the 100-200 cumulative hours running time?
my previous speakers were like that, it took almost a year to break in, simply because I wasnt using it that often.
you may also want to use MA's detox CD and see if that will help
-
Thanks mikeer2002ph for the reply. Palagay ko ay over 200 hours na. Ginamitan ko ng XLO reference test & burn in Cd overnight face to face, 1 out of phase, talukbong ng blanket pero di ko na maulit nagrerelakmo kasi ang tao sa bahay. Sana nga umayos pagtagal, MA din ba yong speaker mo dati kamo? Nag-upgrade kasi ako ng speaker at bili ng dedicated hi-fi pero di ko makuha yong tunog ng dati na walang harshness. Ganda sana ng tunog ng RX6 except doon sa harshness 'til now ay very obvious.
-
No, its a different brand - acoustic energy (Evo 1s), also british just like MA. Most audio forums say its really a tough nut to crack when it comes to break ins.
MAs also are quite a feat to break in, hence they made their own break-in CD to help accelerate the process.
Well I suggest you just continue to use your speakers either more often, or longer, or crank up the volume a bit more (or all of these 3) and just put up with the harshness, im sure it will disappear eventually
MA's (like most british speakers) are quite liquid and have not much 'harshness' so most likely your 'moderate' volume may still be too soft, or if that is not the case, the speakers need more time to breathe.
-
Thanks mikeer2002ph for the info and tips. I'll follow your advice.

Break-in na nga dapat yan bro but give it a bit more time at isang pasada pa ng XLO baka makuha na.
Any particular artist? baka matinis lang talaga voice nya.

Oo nga Brod dapat ay break in na yong speaker for 4 months kaya I'm bit prostrated. Halos naman lahat meron harshness pero mas obvious duon sa mga power voices gaya ng Air supply at Celine dion, pag dating sa matataas na tono. Kumpira sa lumang speaker ko na gamit ko for almost 8 years alang harshness akong narinig. Sayang nga at binenta ko agad ng mura. Di ko na magamitan ng XLO dahil di makatulog ang mga tao sa bahay.

Opened up the RS1 for a collegue who ask me to upgrade the crossover. Tweeter cap was replaced with mundorf silver in oil and mundorf silver/gold wire.
After the change, the hardness in sound was right away gone. Sound was more open, cleaner and clearer. Currently the speakers are still under break-in but my collegue is already very happy with the outcome.
The bass/mid driver is using plastic frame. The tweeter are quite small.

Si RX2 has a tweet and 8"mid/bass, while si RX6 has a tweet, 6"mid/bass and 6"woofer......sa mga nakapag audition na dun sa dalawa - gaano kalaki ang diff sa sonics?

Hindi ba dapat talo ni RX8 si RX6? But I think I get your point - Im a little bit weary in knowing that the RX8 having dual woofers in a FS design might be a little too much.

in terms of quality bass...yes, the RX8 will deliver more than the RX6. as for its integration with the mids and the highs, this would be greatly affected by your room size and acoustics already.
still, my take is that the RS series has superior sound over the RX...but that's just me :)

Hindi naman siguro sarge. Most manufacturers ng dual woofers also consider the freq response of their speakers. Hindi naman siguro magiging boomy ito. Possibly sa tightness lang, better roll offs ang hinabol sa dual woofer design.

Mukhang nagiisip si Master Luther mag-Platinum. 8)
heheh nadale mo na naman ako dun idol, sabi sa 'yo pang-entry level lang powers ko. ;D
Mga Sirs,
Si RX2 has a tweet and 8"mid/bass, while si RX6 has a tweet, 6"mid/bass and 6"woofer......sa mga nakapag audition na dun sa dalawa - gaano kalaki ang diff sa sonics?
Sarge, meron yata sila Butch sa taas nyan. Interesado din ako malaman dati hindi lang natuloy pag-schedule.
Anybody?

personal opinion ko brader for HT use x-over at 80hz,6 is good enough as midrange / midbass level and sub will take-over the lower region. For pure music system w/o sub 8 is perfect for the job to bring out the full frequency of music... :)

Meron sir. I was talking to butch earlier and was planning to go sa SGT after the hifi show - kaso gusto daw ni butch na nandun sya habang audi ko, kaya next weekend nalang cguro.
btw, sir Luther - this is an excerpt I found from blu-ray.forum:
When I went to the store I knew the RX was out and I knew I was going to try and get the lowest price I could for the RS series, but when I heard the RS compared to the RX, I had to get the RX without a doubt.
What I was thinking before I heard the speakers is mainly the two questions 4x12 asked and I normally don't need the latest and wanted to save some money.
The funny thing too, I didn't get the RX6 or RX8, I ended up with the RX2's for my fronts
I bought mine mainly for movies(90/10), I don't listen to music that much at home. I think the RX2's are new, because they didn't have RS2 before. The RX2's have an 8in woofer compared to the rest of the set with a 6in woofer.
I ended up getting:
(2) RX2's
(1) RX Center
(4) RXFX - Plan to Di-pole
I went back and forth with the idea of just getting the RSFX for surrounds and saving some money, but I really love how the RXFX look and ended up getting those.
-
Ako RXFX na lang kulang huhuhu. Ipon mode pa ;D. Currently have RXCLR, RX6 for center and fronts. I have S2 also but deligated to 2 channel setup.
Need ko yung pwede i wall mount. wala na space kung bookshelf pa ang gagamitin.
Got the RX6 from Butch and the center from les
I was auditioning for RX2 sa SGT but when I tried RX6, namayat bigla wallet ko pero oks lang worth it ang RX6.

salamat brader. i have never been into music anyway, i listen to music yes but not into that mumbo jumbo of the technicalities of it. As long as I like the song being played, Im already sold to it
Price difference is 21 K, that can go a long way. Will see what happens. I might even end up not getting any of the two at all

my opinion only,
RX series fits those people who wants it very laid back and relaxed, parang sa tao there are those who likes it in the baryo where everything is so serene and quite while there are those who likes it in the city where there are hustles and bustles(tama ba ang spelling),
both the RX and RS would have pros and cons dependent on the listener's preference. In my case, the aesthetics also plays a part in choosing which one to get. The price wouldnt matter much as they have the same price basically. the biggest problem is availability, AFAIK, only xyobub was able to snatch bnew sets of RS sa middle east pa

Auditioned the GX20 at Mandarin this AM. They were being driven a 100-wpc Audio Analogue hybrid integrated amp. First off, build quality and finish is impressive. The drivers are tightly tensioned against the box by Allen screws at the rear, hence the front is very clean looking.
How does it sound? Well it was obviously not broken in so there was some glare but I wanted to hear how low those tiny metal drivers can go so they put in a bassy number and cranked it up. I was impressed by how deep and impactful the bass was considering how small these floorstanders were. Tautness could be improved by better electronics I am sure but the speakers are obviously miners of detail, hence I've no doubt these will be excellent for HT.

May 1008 na sa Toyama I think. The new MA's will be out next year pa. What Audioworld has is an early sample.

The RX2 and the RX6
A few minutes drive from the HiFi show led me to the steps of The Home theater 1 (SGT) - to finally decipher the reviews Ive been reading on the net between the RX6/RX2 choices and to possibly answer a few issues of some members here.
Monitor Audio's trickling down of tech advancements from the gold line to the RX line is very commendable as the RX6 sounded "refined" and smooth. I really wouldnt call it "laid back" or warm - a bit clinical infact but not subdued. The one thing that I would probably want more - would be the bass. For a FS speaker, I would expect more.
The real ghost in the RX line is definitely the RX2 - just the first note of the song immediately made leaps & bounds over the RX6 - the RX2 sounded bigger, fuller and definitely had more bass. The physics of its 8" driver trounced whatever 6" bass driver that the RX6 had! Hands down, the RX2 is amazing!
Its funny, but it seems like the RX6 sounded more like a BS speaker, while the RX2 sounded like a FS :o
If I was shopping for a HT speaker - I'd definitely get the RX2 over the RX6........and save money!
This led me to believe why someone here could have a problem with the RX6 being a tad bright, because it was never the case with the RX2 with having the same tweeter. I guess the 8" driver of the RX2 was a better match for its tweeter than the 6" woofer (plus bigger enclosure) had in the RX6.
As subjectively goes, please take what I wrote above with a grain of salt as this is only my opinion - its just individual preference.
@brader Tirso - if memory serves in recalling how I heard Jazzy Jake's RS6 a few years back then I could understand your analogy (barrio/city). Compared to the new RX6, the RS6 seems more dynamic & livelier which is your preference ;) Maybe you should look into the RX8 instead? ;D
Nonetheless, MA's path in taking the RX6 is similar to the sonics of those hi-end speaker brands that I heard in today's hifi show - the only difference in those hi-ends is that they come in bigger packages and bigger price tags ;D

I definitely liked the dynamics for such a small FS. The presentation was surprisingly crisp and intense. :)

the bass part is really the main strenght of the RX2 thats why luther never had second thoughts when he heard the RX2 the firts time apart of course form the over all sound quality that suites his liking, we were together when we auditioned the RX and while w agree both that this is a very good speaker, my preference came into play as i really find the RS more dynamic and livelier, really suites me naman.
Shifting to the RX series would create more trouble to me than solution considering it will need me to chnage the center too, the pocket cant afford that anymore. Guess Monday is a very important day to me as this day will determine if i will go RS 6 or I go RS8 or I go home empty handed, save the money and keep the RS1, RSLCR combo and buy me a projector instead so i can go big in visual instead of audio ;D

Sarge, baka pwedeng pasabay ako kila Butch next weekend. Very long overdue na yung dilemma ko sa 2 speakers na yan ;D
Similar case dun sa 2 nakausap ko, they had the chance to audition the RX6 & RX2 and they both ended up buying the RX2(the other one is a fellow member). Iba-iba talaga hit & miss ang response ng listener that's why we have to give each other respect, pareho naman MA yan afterall.
Pero ang hindi ko makalimutan yung 'fever' ni Peggy Lee sa RX2, Roksan K2 amp & cdp . . . up to now hindi ko ma-replicate yung extension & dynamics hahahaha. Nasa high powered amp talaga ang magic kahit sabihin na easy to drive ang speakers. Yung cdp din siguro pero IMO not sure kung ganun kalaki naitulong.

Nyak! natuloy ka pala kahapon sarge hahahaha suri delayed reaction ako pls. disregard my previous post. But nonetheless, your observations on the 2 speakers validates the 2 RX2 owners I mentioned above. Saktong-sakto parang pareho kayong 3 ng tenga. Thanks for the comparo.

medyo nabawasan na talaga brad pip, si sarge na nag-review eh but I'm still open for auditioning the 2 side by side . . . bat ba kase sa ibaba naka-display yung rx6 nung andun tayo sa audioworld eh hahahahah Hirap pa nito meron 1 nadagdag sa list but I'm shifting my priorities now fr. speakers to a more powerful amp.

while we have different mindsets on the RX series versus RS, wiht the size of your room and the constraint you have with the huge rack laid out in the middle, the RX2 would still be the best option for now in my opinion, besides you have fallen inlove wiht the RX 2 the first time you heard it so much so that listening to the RX6 totally got out of the equation.
the cost difference from RX2 to RX6 is significant enough to get you to your new plan, I am also contemplating on finding a more powerful amp but perhaps when im done with the new HT room. If there is a need to get one, I will definitely go the EMOTIVA way but only after I listen to the new project of jojod818, monoblocks that he will create for his soon to be launched HT project ;D

Yes sir, natuloy din - after paying the #@%*! 360 parking fee sa Mandarin, talagang susulitin ko na byahe ko sa makati :D buti nalang medyo natapos si Butch ng maaga sa errands nya kaya naka singgit din ako before going home.
You're right - I forgot to mention in my previous post that a good poweramp would probably be the best bet in extracting the qualities of the RX6 - of course, good source equipment and cables wouldnt hurt either.
Naturally, if you use these same components to the RX2 - then it'll make it better as well.
AVR lang kami last night, which I felt did not justify the properties of the MA RX series - but the change alone between both were huge na.
My son who was with me last night even commented - parang balktad yung tunog ng dalawa ah ::) Ako naman, napa tingin nalang kay butch & blurted - niloloko ba tayo ni MA? :D ;D Natatawa nalang si Butch eh.
Even while I was still in the hifi show talking with Joey & Che about MA in general, when I mentioned the RX2, biglang lumaki nalang yung mga mata nila at napa ngiti rin. Parang may alam sila but just told me - sir, audition nyo nalang muna.
Kaya pala gusto ni Butch na present sya pag mag audi ako - and when the audition was over, sabi nya "mahirap kasi i-explain sa inyo over the phone at hindi kayo maniniwala sa akin. Mabuti na at ma-experience nyo at kayo na mismo ang magsabi"
Nothing beats the value of auditioning talaga - now I fully understand the reviews I've seen thru the net as well as the other comments shared here by those who have experienced the RX2 ;)
@Luther - are you looking at MA for HT or Audio?
Ako kasi my mindset is in HT - so Im not as critical as if Im shopping for audio speakers.
Speaking of HT, I noticed also last night that the RX center might be a tad bright and parang somehow its 2-6" drivers still isnt a match for the RX2's 8" woofer. Parang mas bagay si RXcenter for the RX6 in tonality.
Im now in a quandary if its still ok to use the RXcenter along with the RX2 - or if a single unit of RX2 used as a center speaker would be better kaya?
Dun sa mga may RX2 - baka naman pwede nyo i-try as center si RX2 and just comment :) Maraming salamat po ;)

Oo nga eh, pahirapan sa parking under construction na kasi yung open car park sa tapat along Paseo st. kaya pagka-sabi ng attendant na last slot na sugod pinasok ko na din kahit mahal. ;D
@Luther - are you looking at MA for HT or Audio?

Although I am basically 60-HT & 40-audio ;D ang mindset ko dati sarge is for audio talaga, kasi I believe whatever is good in audio must be equally good in HT. I don't like it overly warm, iniiwasan ko din mga speakers na harsh & bright sounding para hindi sana masakit sa tenga pag heavy action scenes or gun battles cos I want it loud when I watch movies(around -15 to -10db sa Onkyo705) so, kahit 2-3 action movies in a row intact pa din ang ear drum ko, hindi fatiguing. ;D

Nasubukan ko ito sir, ok din naman kasi yung LCR set at 0db (a/vr's Level Calib.) is a bit thin sounding. But personally I prefer kung +6 or +8 hotter ang settings ng LCR . . . mas ok pa tignan ang setup aesthetically.

So are you recommending the RX2 as center or ok na si RXCenter? Sensya na sir, medyo hindi ko na-gets eh.

+1 sir ;) Kung oks na sa audio, oks na lalo for HT. In my case, I have a separate audio setup from HT, so 2 considerations ako when shopping for speakers.
Pareho tayo ng hilig when it comes to HT watching - not warm & definitely not harsh/brite. Neutral but with punch! ;D
-
So are you recommending the RX2 as center or ok na si RXCenter? Sensya na sir, medyo hindi ko na-gets eh.
RXcenter kung ako sir . . . i-set lang ng +6 hotter than left and right channels ok na ako.
Lets say 0db ang left and right channel sa Level calibration ng a/vr, set ko lang ng 6db yung sa center(LCR).
Tried testing it again. Halos pareho lang talaga pagdating sa dialogue, hindi ko na marinig difference (80Hz cutoff ng center) pero pagdating sa mid-low freqs. mas mataba ang RX2 bookshelf. Overall, mas ok ng konti ang RX2 bookshelf as center but I will not trade that slight improvement over the extra money I will shell out for the extra pair. Tho' pwede din naman gawin Rear Center yung isa pang bookshelf, mas prefered ko pa din yung LCR as center. :)
For testing, ang ginawa ko tinanggal ko cables ng RX2 L & R speakers para center lang marinig, I chose a dialogue intensive scene w/ almost no effect para hindi gumana ang surround and left the RX2 center running for 1min. Paused the player, took off the Center cable and put it in one of the bookshelves(in this case the left speaker) then, played the same scene. Tama ba sarge? ;D
or bisitahin mo dito sir pag may time ka, send ko syo map papunta dito. ;)

Thank you sir! ;D Lubos puso akong nagpapasalamat sa inyo ;)
Im relieved to find that out.......and certainly using the RXcenter will save us money as opposed to buying another RX2 set...even with a surround back option.
So now that we've covered the LCR - what surrounds are you using? RX1, RXFX, RSFX, etc?
Im kinda intrigue in using a true dedicated surround speaker as I've never had a monopole/dipole speaker before. Malaki ba diff in having that kind of surround speaker?
I'd be honored to visit your place. PM sent ;D

sisingit ako ng konti dito kagawad mac, ako nag set up ng gamit no xyobub and isa sa mga distinct na napansin ko agad yung surrround, ibang klase ang dating, censya na at di ko ma describe sa perspektibong teknikal pero when i played the same DTS sampler im very familiar with sa set up nya using the RSFX, dang ibang animal ang tunog nya, di na lang sya basta tunog na narinig mo sa likod but tunog na mas detalyado at malinis, its one of my wishlist. problem na lang wala ng makukuhang RSFX ngayon but kung kukuha ka ng RX series, the surround should be RX series too. RXFX yata is 34K when we aksed before sa Audioworld. Try checking out by actually listening, baka mas maganda ang BXFX or BRFX as surround kesa RX1, If Im not mistaken another pdvd meber who uses RS6 RSLCR uses BRFX as surround

ang mahal naman ng quote nila sa iyo! hahahahahaha :D ;D
Pero, magandang idea yung suggestion mo to try diff _ _FX sa MA ;)

Thank you sir! ;D Lubos puso akong nagpapasalamat sa inyo ;)
Im relieved to find that out.......and certainly using the RXcenter will save us money as opposed to buying another RX2 set...even with a surround back option.
So now that we've covered the LCR - what surrounds are you using? RX1, RXFX, RSFX, etc?

BR2 lang surrounds ko sarge. Hindi ko pa na-compare ng side by side ang direct-radiating vs. dipole as surrounds. Medyo nawala din focus ko sa surround kasi marami din issues na pwede i-tackle & experiment like the one you mentioned or bipole vs. dipole or direct surround in 5.1 vs 7.1 or bipole/dipole vs. 7.1 . . . heheh kulang pa ko sa knowledge. Pero yung post ni brad pip above at least gave us an idea what we can expect if we opt to use a dipole speaker as our surround and maybe others can share their experiences w/ mono vs. dipole.

As usual superb and excellent customer service from Jason and Che of Audioworld.
Just came from the store to pick up a WaLnut colored RS6. Hooked them up as soon as I arrived at the house and did some test mainly on two channel stereo listening. Not much of a technical guy when it comes to impressions of new speakers but all I can say is that the reviews I was able to read about the RS6 were all true based on how I am hearing them now. I hit the jackpot once again, thanks to the effort of Che to land me a very good deal.
Kagawad mac and brader Cal, thank for the insights and encouragements ;)

based on my listening experience, the dipole config is the best I have heard, the wharfe 9dfs is dipole and though its just a wharfe, Im very happy with it. Nothing beats the surround sound experience using the RSFX again just based on how I have heard them. Putting htem on the side using dipole config provides the best impact. This was validated by Jason earlier when we were talking about this ealier at Audioworld. But the again, different folks different strokes so it maybe a different impression for other people.

pretty much kagawad.
wouldnt go to 7.1 kagawad hardly matters to me when using a surround back if your using a dipole speaker already. Im just using a 9DFS currently and yet im very happy with it, what more if i get the RSFX, mounted on the side walls configured dipole, only thing that needs to be done is line up on that lotto store ;D ;D ;D

Try BX2 or BR2, they would probably be closer to the baby g B2 combination
i was able to try baby g with RX2 and it also liked the sound of it
but the best for me baby g with RS1

Bass might overwhelm your listening area....MA's are known to be heavy-handed in lows that's why they recommend a 1m distance from the walls :)

If you can manage to position your MA's in open with a 1 meter distance from the walls, then it's okay to remove the port plugs as they called it and it will result to a wider soundstage.

with the lower ma models. this is going to sound bright and forward.
with the higher ma models. this is going to sound bright, forward, and harsh.
ma speakers must be paired with dark/dull/laidback/polite sounding wires and gears to compensate for its nature.
inherent within ma design is brightness and forwardness.

Thanks. Very helpful. I do not like Bright sound. What is your opinion on MA with NAD?
MA with NAD might still be a bit bright for you...if you dont really like bright sound.
MA with Classe is neutral (a bit dull for me actually)
MA with Arcam is neutral
MA with BnK is still a bit bright.
MA with roksan is still a bit bright.
if you dont really like bright sound, then it wouldnt be easy to make you contented with an MA.
it is inherent in their design and it is what makes it sound very very very very good.....at least for me :) :)

and for me too allan. ;) im enjoying every minute of my RS6 with Onkyo. At one point, I used an RS1 wiht NAD 325BEE and I really liked that combination. I onced listened to a Roksan RX1 combination but I didnt liked the sound of it. Its not as lively as the RS1 or the RS6 but to many people, Im sure they would like it that way. To each his own indeed.

sobrang laki not only in the low frequency but over all sound quality, RX6 is way way better than BR5 at least from my end. it may be differnt from others
-

by design, the sonic difference should be far different. however, you may not even be able to notice this if the system that will drive them is not resolute enough to push the RX model to its full potential.
what im telling here is that you should get a price-matched speakers for the system that you will be using it for.
buying something more than enough is just a lot of waste...not only for the speakers potential, but also of your hard earned money.
so better home audition both.

Mga MA gurus, ask ko lang if anybody has experienced listening to a vintage (circa 80"s) MA r700md bs speakers. It already uses their metal dome tweeters but it's their 1st gen. version and silver pa color nung tweets. Made in UK pa with 6.5" poly woofer with inverted surrounds. Based on some web info, designed pa ata ito ni Robin Marshall of Epos 11 and 14 fame.
I actually had a short chance of listening to it and it sounds very good. It has a very buttery sound and medyo laidback but detailed. It also sounded big for it's size. The fact is, it was only being driven by an old onkyo reciever and a hk cd player ( I think), which makes me more surprised and awed.
Do you think it's still worth buying around 7K ? Tnx
-
not sure if this is the right place to ask but, does anyone know what the current brand new prices of the bronze 2, 5 and center are?

Yes go for it....It's a real steal for an original UK built MA for only 7K. Considered a collector's item na ito. :)
-
Thanks. Very helpful. I do not like Bright sound. What is your opinion on MA with NAD?
.
MA with NAD would be fine, but if you want to really make your MA sing - say from Silver to Gold series....Go for MF, Exposure or Roksan, it may sound bright to others but may sound good or enough for you. Go and audition so you will know, otherwise go for tube amp, I find MA especially the silver series doing well with EL-34 & KT88-based amp :)
-
malaki ba sound diff ng (silver)rx6 sa bronze(bx5)
Malaki....Until you listen then you will know. Let me say on a simple comparison in cars:
Both made by Toyota:
Bronze = Corolla
Silver = Camry
But still depends on what system are you going to pair with the speakers. Kahit Silver or Gold pa yan kapag hindi matched iyong gears mo ay tatalunin yan ng Bronze with well-matched system. :)

Hi Onkyo, Tones & Colours Technologies is the sole distributor of MA products both in UAE and KSA. I bought my MA S6 speakers directly from Mr. Saher, the owner of TCT last 2005, and he gave me a 40% off from the original price. My regret, I sold the S6 to my father-in-law because he liked the pair.

I have not heard any MA with HK gear, though some people seem to have successful pairings. Ask Marc if he can source the MAs, so that you can hear them with HKs.
Audioworld likes pairing MA speakers with Yamaha gear, to good success.

first time ko mag post dito but have been reading a lot of threads especially this one dahil about MA. based in taiwan ako but dito ako bibili ng speakers dahil sa price difference. currently auditioning silver series. stuck between rx2 and rx6. i've auditioned several brands in taiwan like dali, MS,acoustic energy, polk audio, heco, wharfedale, focal jmlab, avanz, psb, castle, b&w, kef to name a few. but nagustuhan ko sound ng MA. bronze series lng initially kaso na audition ko silver..... and the rest is history. although yung iba syempre influenced by price din. dadalhin ko ulit misis to finalize decision. any inputs? anyway i know na its up to my ears to decide.
just wanted to say thanks to sir jason at ma'am she of audio world in banawe. very helpful and nice sila. honest suggestions with no forced opinions. genuine ang pagtulong.
jao ;D

Bro,
if you liked the sound of MA over all the rest youve listened to, i guess the choice is clear :)
of course my opinion would be biased as i myself is an MA fanatic after having been through so many others whether in audition or as my own.
goodluck, and enjoy the hobby.

We have the Ma bx1, bx2 and rx2 available for audition. Come by the shop and compare them with Polk, infinity, Klipsch and B&w. :)

should be very well be the deciding factor, che and jason have been living with the how MAs sound for the longest time and the fact that audioworld carries this and not many other brands speak for how well they believe in its sound quality,
i am using RS6 and RSLCR and is very happy with it. The only thing different about the RX series and RS is the HF side, to which i find the RX series on the warmer side already. I love dynamic sounding speaker thats why the RS suites me better but having said that, the RX series would always be a stunner in the SQ deparment, after all, its hard to find bnew RS as they have stopped prodcution already and was replaced by the RX series.
You getting either the RX2 or RX6 shoulD be a wise decision,if looks is not an issue, the RX2 has a bigger driver and can go lower than the RX6 and is cheaper than RX6, on the other hand, the RX6 has one more driver that adresses the mid range section better. There are other people who are in the opinion that RX2 does not match well with the RXLCR becasue of the difference in the size of the driver, 6.5 versus 7.5 but i dont hear anything wrong when i get to listen to this set in one of our members HT set up.

The BX series surprised me today. I found them a lot better than the BR series.
The BX2 had an obvious dip in the mids, but it was very listenable, pleasant and detailed. :)
pwede noh? the bx2 can give the A3 a run for its money. what amp do you think matches best with the bx?

Avshop's Onkyo pair actually did well with it. The same gear didn't seem to do very well with the RX2 though (I've heard the RX2 sound quite a bit better with other components).

I just got my RX6 yesterday and I could not stop myself from listening to them. I have thrown every high quality audio samples that I could get my hands on at them and each time, the songs, which I've listened to for almost like, forever, seem to take my breath away the moment I hear them through the RX6.
Of course, I must say, the Marantz SR 7002 has also got something to do with it. Perhaps, so are the cables and the power cord. Did I mention I was bi-amping these bad boys?
I personally do not have any idea whether there would be any difference if I went a rung down, like, not choosing to bi-amp or using generic cables, because, I fear, I could find some flaws which I could not bear to accept.
Though I was a little bit "disappointed" at first to see that the cartons say the speakers were "Made in China", the moment I heard them sing, all my prejudices vanished. I don't care if they were made in China or where else as long as they take my breath away.
I agree that, yes, they seem a little bit warm compared to the RS6 but they are nonetheless incredibly detailed. they also seem to sound too clinical or too controlled. However, further research led me to discover that it was actually the Sr7002 who was causing the absence of dynamics in the samples. Nonetheless, they are one of the best speakers I've heard in a while and I could not want for more.
I am still in the break in period so I should expect some "more" improvement in time. Though the Low end seems to be technically sufficient by sonic criteria, I feel, perhaps psychologically, that there is something lacking: that the woofers could rip if I drove them too hard. So to simply say, I must get a subwoofer!
Now the itch seems to be taking a life of its own.
I actually have several bluray discs with DTS-MA audio and I don't want to play them unless I completed the whole 5.1 system.
I hate this itch but it's actually quite satisfying if you just kept on scratching it.

i just listened to the rx2 a while ago and you are right master stagea, parang there is something missing when its paired with the onkyo a5vl and sacd, although the detail and wide soundstage are still very noticeable. hmm.. i wonder how it will sound to me if paired with the nad, marantz or the cambridge integrated amps.

The RX2, when paired with the Onkyos at Marc's, lacked the body and lustre in the mid and high freqs. The BX2 surprisingly paired well with the Onkyos though.
The best I have heard the RX2 with was with a yamaha receiver. I have also heard it pairs well with Marantz gears... and of course with Roksan.

I have not tried them with NAD gear, but I have a feeling that the bass might slightly bloat with that combination. Aside from the usual suspects (Yamaha and Roksan), they also sound great with Master Luther's Marantz and Emotiva toys, and supposedly also work well with CA gear (as per Jason of Audioworld).
-
Glad you liked it master. As always thru your gracious guidance nagkaroon ako ng idea, any neutral to reavealing amp and source will work best for the rx2. I also agree with the Yammy & Roksan pairing.

Anybody tried pairing the MA RX6 with an onkyo 609 or 709?

would the bx2 be a good match to generally bright pioneer vsx 920?

i am scouting for an audio setup... my eyes on BX2 and RX2 paired with Yaqin Tube MC10-T. Would appreciate any comments on this. Any idea for the prices of BX2, RX2 and RX6?

I think the 920 has enough processing to tame the highs, in case it does get overly bright. Some of the character would still show through, however.

The RX2 doesn't seem to be a natural match for budget tube amplifiers. Marc may be able to let you demo this combination. Do try both 4 and 8 ohm taps, to see which one works better. You can demo the other speakers in there too, in case you're set on getting the Yaqin.

I am very new to this...
What do you mean when you say "natural match"? What will I get if I pair them? I actually dont have the amp yet... so still open for suggestions. I am into mostly jazz.

That would depend on which t-amp, and your actual use.

Moderate-volume listening with simpler materials, pwede in most cases. Magiging kasinglakas siya ng typical PC speakers before distorting.
On the other hand, if you want a flexible system with sufficient dynamic headroom, then look for a stronger amp. Pakinggan mo rin with different amps, para makasiguro ka.

Master Stagea,
I have a problem, which I believe you are one of the right persons who can help me.
I have a pair of RX6 which is powered by Marantz SR 7002. They are bi-amped.
However, I am not completely satisfied with the sound I'm getting from this setup.
I don't know if any of the following has something to do with my problem.
1. Room dimension: 4m x 4m x 3m
2. Equalizer: default (flat) - I don't want to change anything because I believe that if the amp and the speakers are good, they must be able to reproduce any sound what the sound engineer wanted to be reproduced without coloration from equalizers.
3. Speaker location: 6" from back wall, 2' from side wall, 6' apart from each other. Driver tension was already adjusted. Speaker distance configuration in amplifier was set to Large.
4. Connection Setting: bi-amplified using Monster Surround THX-certified cable, 16 AWG (max cable length 2.5 meters)
5. Floor of the room: Glazed tiles
6. Wall of the room: Painted plaster
7. Ceiling of the Room: Painted Gypsum false ceiling.
8. Speaker toe-in: about 5 degrees towards up.
9. Audio Formats sampled: Wave (16 bit 41 khz), FLAC
If any of the above affects correct sound reproduction in any way, please tell me so that I may rectify it.
Thank you

Using an AV Receiver for audio duties may be the problem. A decent integrated amp would easily outperform an AV Receiver when listening to music.

I see. Can you recommend a particular brand for an integrated amp and how do I set it up with my existing system?

You would have to audition this with your speakers but my first choice would be NAD C326BEE. There are other choices as well like Marantz PM 5004, Cambridge and Rotel also have good integrated amps but may sound bright paired with your speakers. As for your set-up, what is it right now? Are your speakers part of a 5.1 or 7.1 system? What is your audio source?

Have you tried other speaker speaker cable other than monster? I used before their 12 AWG which I got mashy top end. If you're still in Kuwait take a visit toPanasonic in Salmiya they have CHORD cable which you can get by meter also.
-
I see. Can you recommend a particular brand for an integrated amp and how do I set it up with my existing system?
if you don't intend to have have separate system for audio, you can add External Power Amp to take the fronts and AVR will power the rest when you complete the HT setup.
Brands available in Q8 are; Sunfire, Anthem (both by Panasonic) & Carver (old model but still in good condition, but price still high despite it's age ::) :( ).

What is your main issue with the sound? It's hard to tell without actually hearing the system, but a description of the problem will help us tremendously.
To throw some depth in the presentation, I suggest pulling the speakers away from the wall (2' away or more). You didn't indicate your listening position, but it should again be away from walls (ideally).
Your room's boundaries (floor, walls and ceiling) also seem a bit lively (especially if you don't have anything on them), which might smear the mids and highs a bit. On top of that, interaction with your square room may make the sound a bit boomy (something that I also contend with).
As for the Equalizer, EQing isn't necessarily bad. It can actually help remedy issues in a less than perfect installation or component match. Your AVR has 1-octave graphic EQ bands covering most of the audible range. This should be simple enough to be tunable by ear, if you know what you're looking for.
Lastly, what player are you using for those WAV and FLAC files? How is it hooked up?

I don't think there is NAD or Rotel here in Kuwait. I am planning a 5.1 System but as of now I still have the stereo. I don't think they have NAD or Rotel here in Kuwait. Marantz, which is carried only by Eureka seems to have cd players and amplifiers only.
My audio sources are cds, blurays, and some high resolution FLAC files and bluray ripped movies (about 5 GB size each)
Honestly, I do not really know what's the principle behind integrated amps. I think i need some education on this area.

Hi audiojunkie. Glad to know there's someone else here in Kuwait who also has the same interests. Anyway, I'm not really familiar with Salmiya area because I'm staying in Fahaheel. How do I get there? If I rode bus 999, can it take me there?

Hi Karzai, Also glad to know another Pdvd member in Kuwait. We are now 4 aside from me Audiobackyard & Defcon3 both staying Salwa and I'm in Old Khaitan. I already been to their place several times, you can check their system in the gallery. There are more into this hobby but not members of this site.
Salmiya is quite far from your location and also not familiar w/ bus route. I only know from my place & Kwt City. Try to call this No. 25719499 & enquire if they have branch in Fahaheel. sorry for the O.T. MOD.. :)
To be on topic, how did you get you MA to Kuwait? I check online & found the dealer but seems they don't have showroom. Is it by order only? Thanks! :)

I've only been recently exposed to integrated or stereo amps recently. I've always had AV Receivers. I didn't realize what I was missing until I disposed a pair of old JBL Studio series speakers that were tested with a stereo tube amp. The sound that was produced by my old speakers blew me away! I almost took my speakers back home. I guess the complexities of an AV Receiver "dilutes" the sound when listening in stereo. Integrated amps have a much more simple design that "release" the potential of your speakers. Maybe Stagea could state this better. :)

Integrated amps have a much more simple design that "release" the potential of your speakers. Maybe Stagea could state this better. :)
Most AV receivers have inferior preamp and power amp sections because of cost constraints. The makers had to build something that has many preamp/power-amp channels, video switching/processing/conversion, audio switching/processing/conversion, portable device connectivity, network capability, etc. when building an AVR for essentially the same money as a plain stereo amp with nothing on it. Building to meet that low cost requirement for something so complex means compromising many things along the way, to get the product to the market (not to mention that half of the money that we're paying already goes to marketing and mark-ups).
When you look at the insides of most AVRs (except high-end models), they look positively anemic beside a typical music amp of the same rating. The power amp section is typically built with very little headroom in terms of current capacity, so distortion can become a constant problem with demanding speakers (or listeners). 5 or more channels sharing a small transformer also means that the amp might output 100W at one time, yet only output 20w on another time for the same input signal level (when the other channels are simultaneously firing). This amount of variability is generally unacceptable in the hi-fi world.
On top of this, having so many components within the same cabinet and having marginal shielding between them + sharing the power supply (both to cut costs), may take its toll on signal integrity. Cross-talk and inter-modulation issues are things you might be able to largely escape by going the dedicated audio route.
On the other hand, the Marantz SR 7002 still has every right to sound decent (within reasonable bounds). I think Karzai should maximize his no-cost tweaking options first, to see if that would be sufficient for his needs.

It sounds like, when I close my eyes, I don't hear the music as though the real musicians were there. It still
feels like the sound is coming from the speakers although the sound image seems to originate from the center.
My listening position is a third of the distance between the two walls away from the speakers, just about 2'
from the rear wall. My TV is flushed on the wall so I could not bring the speakers further front as they are quite
deep. From MA Manual's recommended speaker placement, I already had them placed about 7" from the wall.
Yes, I believe the highs and the mids are a little bit smeared in the sense that I do not find them as
detailed as I'd hoped they would be and not up to what the "raving" reviews were saying. Also, it seems
that the highs and mids are "drowned" in bass. When I try to crank up the volume to reveal more of them,
the bass also just gets louder to the point that it begins to hurt my ears, though I hear very little of
it. I mean, I could not hear the right punch. I know that the RX6 could go as deep as 18 hz, but I know bass
when I hear it. Actually, I do not really know what "boomy" sounds like. Aren't low frequencies supposed
to boom? MA enclosed along cylindrical sponges they call port bungs which are meant to reduce "boominess".
There are times that I feel that the bass becomes so loud that I need to cut back on them. But when I
stick them into the ports, I notice that there is an overall loss not only in the volume but also in the
quality of the bass, which I do not like.
I do not know how to set the EQ bands in the AVR. But i find that there are noticeable changes when I let
preset EQ setting in Windows Media Player
I'm using a laptop in playing the files. It is hooked up to the AVR via HDMI cable. I have also installed
the latest NVidia HD audio driver. I believe the laptop is capable enough in squeezing quality from
the samples because I could hear a marked difference between a sample from a cd and a FLAC sample.
It is really noticeable that it is almost like night and day

I ordered them from Tones and Colors in Saudi Arabia. Since they were delivered by land and through
Kuwait Post Office Parcel, shipment charges were very minimal, although with Kuwait PO's reputation,
it's almost a miracle that they made it here.
You can contact Saher Sheerbainy through this email address: [email protected]
Anyway, thanks for the info on other members.

I'm using a laptop in playing the files. It is hooked up to the AVR via HDMI cable. I have also installed
the latest NVidia HD audio driver. I believe the laptop is capable enough in squeezing quality from
the samples because I could hear a marked difference between a sample from a cd and a FLAC sample.
It is really noticeable that it is almost like night and day
Start with ditching Windows Media Player when playing audio files. Try Foobar, then output via WASAPI (granted you're running Windows 7 or Vista). This will bypass several layers of Windows' audio processing. Just remember to select a different audio output device as your windows default device to prevent conflicts.
This should allow you to pass a clean and unprocessed signal to your AVR. You can do the EQing from the AVR, so that it would be applied to all sources.
As for the excessive lows (or boominess), the closer you put your speakers to boundaries, the boomier it would get (and it's much worse in a square room). If you can't push it away from the wall any further, start cutting the lows in the EQ. As for the smearing of mids and highs, simple room treatment might help (like large & thick curtains, carpets, tapestry, furniture, shelves, etc.) to reduce the reflective areas and break-up large flat surfaces.

I guess the general mindset when designing AVRs is:
"How can we add more features and build it at a lower cost?"
This seems especially true, as AVR price points have continuously gone down, while the feature set keeps on increasing. There is nothing wrong with this, as this seems to be what sells in the general HT market.
When designing HiFi gear, the apparent mindset is:
"How can we make it better, to justify charging more?"
HiFi pricing had been on the rise, especially for high end components. Sound quality improvements (sometimes just changes) and cosmetics appeal to the target consumer. No new features are generally added when makers refresh their product line, but they advertise the internal changes that they've made to (supposedly) improve the resulting output.

I ordered them from Tones and Colors in Saudi Arabia. Since they were delivered by land and through
Kuwait Post Office Parcel, shipment charges were very minimal, although with Kuwait PO's reputation,
it's almost a miracle that they made it here.

I couldn’t seem to find any links to free foobar. Lol. Looks like I’m soliciting to acquire pirated copies. Anyway, my curiosity is piqued by the ability of foobar to process sound.
Thanks for all the advice, I’m starting to do a remodelling quite a bit, though my room mate thinks it’s weird. But what does he know, right?

maki-chime in na din, sorry if OT mods
@ sir karzai, before spending your hard earn money on additional equipment maybe you should try this as well :
- i believe your a/v is also equip with Audyssey Multi-eq, try to run it who knows you might like the
improvement
- try to remove the bi-amp and just run 1 speaker cable like normal connection (some people in other
forums reported that they didn't like the sound of their setup when bi-amp using the amp terminal-C
- try to improve your room acoustics if you can
- use foobar + wasapi as master stagea suggested, you might be surprised with the improvement
by the way, i'm using an older model marantz SR8001+ikon6. when playing FLAC on my laptop, i'm using foobar+wasapi player as well and i'm very happy on how it sounds (at least for me).

Sorry audiojunkie but that dealer does not exist anymore. I got word from Monitor Audio that the only authorized dealer of MA equipment in the Middle East is Tones and Colors owned by Mr. Saheer Shairbeeny of Saudi Arabia. He also owns the MA dealer in UAE.

@ Stagea,
Thanks for the link. It's hard to believe that something so good as to beat the WM player can actually be downloaded for free.
@ Gwenael,
Now I'm becoming restless to go home and try this foobar-wasapi tandem. Thanks for your advice and surely, they are not out of topic.
Will let everyone know about the result tomorrow.
-
I have installed foobar but I can't seem to find wasapi.
Can somebody please help me?
-

Download wasapi component from foobar page then:
Step 1: Open the foobar2000 preferences dialog.
Step 2: Go to the Components page.
Step 3: Click the "Install..." button, or simply drag a component archive to the list.
Step 4: Press "OK", you will be prompted to restart foobar2000 in order to load the newly installed component

i've always found foobar to sound too bright. try j river media center.. :).
-
^ Foobar via WASAPI is supposed to be transparent. Maybe J River does some post-processing that suits your ears better. :)
-
and you belong to the group of people that believe that all media players should sound the same ?
-
No but the developer of Foobar2k says this:
Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of the other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.

No but the developer of Foobar2k says this:

that's what he says. i doubt he has a system capable of high resolution. nor is an audiophile, nor is aware that any change in code of a program can change the sound, nor even the intricacies of having a system capable of resolving differences like (putting your amp on the floor makes it sound different from it being on a rack, or changing tubes, or anything like that) or such can also change the sound.. :p
-
Okay. ;D
Just to stay on-topic: my monitor audio BR2 speakers probably tame the inherent "brightness" of foobar2k then.
-
:D.
on that note - my rx2's are so revealing, it brings out the digititis from foobar :/.
-
Which is better the RS1 versus RX1?
only those who have first hand experienced opinion please. :D
-
We have the rx1 and rx2 available for audition. :)

I was able to audition Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 a while ago at Watt Hi-Fi at Makati Cinema Square. At first it was paired with Rotel RA-04 amp and NAD C 515BEE CD player. It sounded bright and very detailed but slightly on the verge of too much brightness. I then requested for it to be paired with NAD C326BEE amp. The sound was no longer as bright, it was now warmer but still with excellent detail. After that a customer demoed B&W 685 speakers with the NAD amp and CD player. The resulting sound was too warm for me with a significant reduction in high frequency detail, good bass though but the BX2 also had good bass performance.

the amp/speaker combination still depends on the music you prefer. auditioning is the best way to a right decision. :)

Bihira kasi ako makapunta ng manila sir. But base sa review and comments from this thread about the bx2 i think i wont go wrong with these speakers. I listen more on rock, alternative, hiphop and rnb. Lately i started listening to bossa nova and some jazz music. Amp na lang talaga ang problema.
-
Sir ok po ba yung combination ng tp60 and bx2? Can the tp60 drive the speakers?
I haven't heard it yet with my TP60 but basing on how the BX2 sounded with the NAD 326BEE it should sound pretty close. My TP60 is quite powerful it's 50 watts per channel and it can make my Klipsch RB 61's sound really loud with strong bass.

I don't have the BX2 yet. I auditioned it at Watt Hi-Fi at Makati Cinema Square but the speaker was bought while I was listening to it.

i had a weird experience with the bx2 though. when we hooked it up to my amp(75w), relatively mahina ang tunog, so i thought it was my amp that has the problem. but when we tried other speaks (RX2, Rti A3, 685, Primus162)still using my amp with the same volume level, malakas naman sila lahat. isip ko tuloy if mahirap idrive ang bx2. any comments on this?

Hhhmmm 90db sensitivity and 8 ohms means it shouldn't be hard to drive, theoretically.

I think the large dip in the presence section is to blame for this. This reduces apparent loudness since we're most sensitive to this frequency band.
Mnga Sirs, is the GX series already locally available?
Now, that's a nice speaker. :) :) :)

weird, maybe you have mistakenly hook it in a wrong way. let just say, habang kinakabit mo yung wire natangal pala jumper plate? then ang tumutunog lang pala tweeter or mid kaya mahina? Funny but sometimes its happen.
BX2 is a product of the year in UK magazine

Newly minted MA user here!
Still in the process of finding a suitable amp for the MA B1 being dedicated as stereo PC speakers.
For now, I disconnected the HK3470 from my RTiA3s, placed the MAs on the immedate left and right of my monitor, situated the receiver near the PC, hooked up the HK's aux to the analog out of the PC.
All I can say is "major major upgrade" from my Altec-Lansing ADA 305s that has served as my PC speakers since 1996.
update: Found a suitable amp - a Marantz PM-45 Integrated amp from VhinX

Try the RX2 + 650A combo. Or the A5VL + BX2 combo. Even the Marantz PM6003 would surely sound good with the RX2s. ;D

-

You are basically correct, the combo of RX2 and CA would be significantly pricey compared to a BX and a5vl combo. not because the RX cost almost double than the bx series, but also because the CA would ideally require a matching source (X50c or an external DAC) for the system to sound to its full potential. Unlike the a5vl which has a built in DAC. but what the heck, kayang kaya mo yan master gerard. hakot na ;D
-
mukhang ok yung rx2+650a combo idol kaso parang hindi ok siya para sa wallet ko ;D
You'll be amazed at how the RX2 would sound paired with the right amp. :) The only time I disliked the output was when it was paired with a Cayin tube amp. Didn't really pair well. Well, that's just my own opinion. After all, subjective talaga 'tong hobby natin. ;)

I just got back from a listening session of Monitor Audio S1, the older series which is replaced by the newer RX line. Matched with NAD C275BEE amplifier, the sound was just gorgeous. Sweet sounding midrange and adequately detailed highs. Big sound coming from a small cabinet was able to sound better than Klipsch RB 61 II and also PSB B6. Of course the price also sets it in a different league. Can't wait to hear the newer RX speakers!

Nad is a 'bright' amp .. I can relate since the MA B1 sounded a bit 'ngongo' with the harman/kardon, but is perfect sounding with the Marantz.

Rotel is a lot brighter than NAD, which I consider to be in between dark and bright. I listened to the Monitor Audio BX2 with a Rotel RA-04 and the sound was screechingly bright. When it was paired with a NAD C326BEE the sound was just right, warm with detailed highs.

I have the RX6AV-12 (except the Subwoofer, which is replaced by Hsu Research VTF3-MK4) system that is powered by Marantz SR-7002 (a rather old model amplifier) and they sound amazing. The sound at the opening of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in a lossless DTSHD-MA audio gives an eerily spine-tingling realism that makes you think the speakers have disappeared altogether. It is so convincingly real that no words can describe. Honestly, I do not know what to expect if the room correction and acoustic treatment have been applied since I am still struggling at the moment with the resonance and standing bass problems in my small room.

Thanks. I can say that Marantz SR-7002 and Monitor Audio do make a great pair. But then wag mo lang masyado lakasan kasi parang mararamdaman mo yung strain sa Marantz. Although tests revealed that the SR-7002 has a lot more power than what Marantz advertise, pag tinodo mo parang kinokontrol niya.

Are the silver series still made in england? ???

Even the Platinum series are made in China now.
-
Are the silver series still made in england? ???
No. They are all made in China.
Well, it's probably just psychological, thinking that anything made in China is nothing but quality, I say, there is not really that much difference between the RS6, which was made in England, and the RX6 that are made in China. Afterall, it is still the quality of the sound that matters. And to me, it transcends any localities where the speakers were made.
If the RX6 were made in England, it probably would have cost a little more about twice than how much one would have paid if it were made in China. And thankfully, it is. For once, I was glad that these speakers were made in China and it gave me the chance to be able to afford them.
-
Top priorities are the drivers. Hopefully those drivers are not made there and only the assembly is. You just need to worry then are the last details they might overlooked or ika nga sa parati kong naririnig sa mga china workers dito, pwede na yan! ;D
I had seen a few speakera made in china, when i had opened up for crossover mod, how cheaply it was made. Good news, Monitor Audio is not one of them. :)

Totally agree with you. What bothers me is that MA does not indicate where these were made. Even some people in Audio World made me believe that the silver line series are still manufactured in England. The BX series are made in malaysia as indicated at the rear portion of the speakers. My friend and I went to audition it at audio world and bought home these award winning speakers even though made in malaysia. Perhaps MA has to be more transparent in labeling where they manufacture their products, nothing to be worried or ashamed about even if it is made in China or better yet in the Philippines???!!! lol ;D

Actually, nilalagay nila. Dun sa likod. Sa RX6, sa taas ng binding posts, which are very easy to overlook. Siguro they strategically placed it there so that it is least likely to be found. Kahit sa box meron ding nakalagay na made in China.
Nung pag open ko ng box parang napansin ko na parang peke yung mga speakers. Ibang iba kasi yung gloss ng Rosenut na England na RS6 e. Ang alam ko kasi, made in England pa sila. Nung makita kong "made in China" parang nabuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig. Nung kinakabit ko yung mga wires parang natutulala ako. Pero nung tumunog na yung RX6, napawi lahat ang lumbay ko. Tama nga, the most important are the drivers.
Kahit yung Hsu Research made in China na rin. Pero nilalagay nila Designed in the USA. Isang speaker na lang yata ang mabibili mo na di made in China e. Yung SVS subwoofers. But we don't know when they are going to decide to transfer their production overseas.

The subs are assembled in the US, with the amp (Bash/Sledge) and enclosure (Sound Art) coming from China, cmiiw. The old models had drivers from TC Sounds, but I'm not sure where they source the new ones (I don't think they still do business with TC). The S-series speakers are made in China, afaik.
Marami pa din namang hindi made in China, but you oftentimes have to pay a premium for it. I think may ongoing China thread na about things made there. I personally don't have an issue kung Made in China. Depende na din siguro sa company and their partners, kung papano ang magiging transition nila to a different location. The company I work with moved their production from Japan and the US to Vietnam and China, without any noticeable change in defect/failure rates (to think mas complex na yung products namin these days). Kailangan lang talaga ng masinsinang process engineering, at siyempre checks/controls dun sa production facilities. The less possibility of human error you leave out for each step, the better (boring lang siguro for the assembly line worker). Aside from costing less in terms of labor, it also made sense sa supply chain side, since most of the parts suppliers are moving their production there. The cost savings allowed us to stay afloat despite the bad economy and falling retail prices.

Actually the sourcing out in China began with the RS series but I agree it really doesn't matter where it was assembled as long as the parts esp. the driver is coming from UK. As master Stagea said nasa design and QC pa din yan, kung papayagan nila mag-tunog pirated ang MA.

Actually the sourcing out in China began with the RS series but I agree it really doesn't matter where it was assembled as long as the parts esp. the driver is coming from UK. As master Stagea said nasa design and QC pa din yan, kung papayagan nila mag-tunog pirated ang MA.
I see. That means I got the older stocks when I bought the RS. Hmmm. It seems they have become a collector's item.
Anything not made in china is fast becoming a collector's item.
@ stagea,
Are your products mainly about speakers? What's the nature of your business? My curiosity is piqued.

Sir, I don't think StageA is into selling or manufacturing speakers. He is more of a speaker collector. Mainly high-end ones. In fact he built a dedicated house to use as his stock room.

Nope, I work with a company that builds mostly business machines. I think that manufacturing/assembly work for other items would be more or less analogous though.

Ayus yan and if you can find anything in the box, manual or speaker itself that says it is indeed made in UK then congrats! You just found a platinum in your Silvers ;D
-
MA - GR (Gold Reference) and S (silver) - Made in England
Platinum, GX, GS, RX, RS, BR are all Made in China (except BX - assembled in Malaysia) , but designed and engineered in the UK.
MA's tweeters for platinum series are Made in Malaysia but the final assembly is done in MA's factory in China, with QC supervised and inspected by Monitor Audio's own staff.

Can you please PM me cash prices for the RX2, RXFX, RX Center, BX2, BXFX, & BX Center? How's the MA synergy with higher-end Yamaha AVR's?
Thanks.

Imho, higher end Yamahas sound great with the RX series. I've never heard the RX play as good with other AVR brands.

Really? Actually before I decided to buy the amp that I have now, I narrowed down my choices between a Yamaha RXV-1065 and a Marantz SR-7002. Eventually, I went with the Marantz because according to one of the reviews I've read, and I quote "Keep in mind most review publications don’t do continuous power measurements and they usually publish power measurements into clipping at 1% THD + N. Our measurements are very conservative and it is clear that the 110wpc power rating of this receiver is greatly understated as Marantz is delivering MUCH more than specified.". Since I am a loudness junkie, anyone can see that the choice is pretty obvious.
I am quite satisfied with the performance of SR-7002 but there were times that it was coughing up blood (it seemed like the source material had a cut between scenes and the RX6s are having an abrupt disruption of signals, like a broken pop). My suspicion tells me that the capacitors are running out of reserved power. I had the Low pass filter set to 80 Hz so that the RXFX, which are rated at 60 Hz - 35 kHz, 80 watts, wouldn't have a hard time squeezing out frequencies lower than that.
Do you think, I made a mistake by choosing the Marantz?

It shouldn't pop unless you're driving it to clipping levels. You don't normally hear a pop when it's just the rail level collapsing. Try crossing the front channels a little higher to see if that remedies the problem.
Marantz makes very nice AV gear, imho.

sir ask ko lang po kung worth it po ba mag upgrade from wharfedale diamond to MA BX series po? my current setup is 9.1, 9 cs,9sr and vsx520 gusto ko po sana mag upgrade BX2 and BX center, nagiisip lang ako kasi ito den yung entry ng MA baka hindi ganun ka sulet.. usage is 80% movies and x0% music ( also planning to build a separate stereo nasa living kasi yung Home Theater eh mas madalas ako sa bedroom because of my work 3D rendering )
hingi lang ako suggestion para hindi naman masayang yung hard earned money

Pakinggan mo na lang then decide. If you're happy with your current setup, you don't have to change a thing.
You can use the money on your separate music system.

Looks more like "just" a lateral move as both MA BX and Wharf 9s are entry levels, that it will just change the character of the sound. Just save up and aim for the "next higher" level - e.g., B&W 6 series, MA RX series, Dali Ikon series, Dynaudio DM or Excite or Focal Chorus.

i had a chance to help set up the system of one of our members here, he has the same Marantz though uses a full RS series, RS6, RSLCR and RSFX,
i would say its one of the nicest I heard and I almost replaced my receiver with a marantz was just able to fight the urge.

I exactly have the same setup: Marantz SR7002 and the Full RXAV getup (RX6, RX Centre, RXFX) except that I replaced the subwoofer with a Hsu Research VTF3-MK4.
I could say that until now, the full fledged Marantz-MA RX sound tandem leaves my mouth gaping. Only that sometimes the Marantz is tripping, which causes it to a pop a sound that seems to alarm me whether it could do damage to the right RXFX and the right RX6 whenever I crank the volume up. Don't worry about this, as this might just be a problem with my own amp only.
Get the Marantz and the RXFX. It's the perfect combination.
-
"^" seems that your AVR is running out of juice to push your RX6.
..Have you considered getting ext. power amp? :)
-
'I'm considering... but I don't know how to do it. Plus, it's not only the amp's juice that's running out. I've stretched my budget far enough that I might have to declare bankruptcy. Lol.

Thanks in advance!
not on the technical perspective but i will try anyway. Im using an RS6 currently with RSLCR but have listened to RX6 and RXLCR before getting the RS.
LOOKS:
RS6 has a fancier looks because of the trimmings on the drivers. RX6 looks simpler and suites well those who are not into fancy looking things, simplistic design but very calssy looking.
SOUND CHARACTER:
I feel the RS6 sounds more dynamic in the sense that the top end (HF) sounds brighter than the RX6. The RX6 sounds a bit laidback to me and perhaps would be appreciated more by those people who wants it that way. Im into dynamic sounding speakers thats why the RS6 suites me well. All the rest, i dont hear any difference.
BUILD QUALITY:
Same even the color (atleast the wall nut and black as I see them)
Both possesses excellent sound quality and build quality overall. Its just really a matter of preference.

thanks bro onkyo606 for your inputs. i saw someone selling his RS6 and I am contemplating to trade but Im not sure if I'll be doing an upgrade/sidegrade/downgrade ???

I like the RX better. Pero siyempre, may ibang flavor din ang BX that suited your taste. It would a lot better if you could really play both side by side and have your favorite tracks as reference.

if your a bass head, RX2 is for you pero sa iabng tao baka masyadong bloated ang dating ng bottom end ng RX2, it maybe too much for some pero sa iba ok na ok yung bass na ganun para sa isang BS na speaker, its huge actually. others aspects of the SQ, wala naman akong narining na malaking kaibahan.

thanks for the input, sir. i prefer yung detailed highs and mids. para sa mga acoustic guitars, jazz and vocal music. i think with this description RX1 will fit my taste. for bass music, i'll use my JBL L100 nalang. :)

The PL is more refined-sounding against the GX, but they're relatively close together in performance. The GX is a big jump from the RX, imo.

Mga masters, kaya bang magpatugtog ng malakas sa BX or RX when watching movies or listening to Disco songs? Can it handle reference level or a bit more? Let's say that it will be powered by the Onkyo 609 (or 709/809) and may sub na SVS ported.
Can you crank the volume up? Or magiging harsh na yung tunog ? (or masisira na yung speaker)?
TY
-
I can't say about what BX can do but I can say for sure that your amp wouldn't have enough juice to bring the RX to its breaking point. I have cranked the RX to extreme levels but I could not detect the slightest bit of straining or distortion
You can push the amp and the speakers to their limits but I doubt that they give out before your hearing does or the police knocking on your door, or your angry neighbors breaking your door, whichever comes first.
Disco songs generally contain low end frequencies so it is the SVS who's gonna take over the job and it is also the subwoofer that will strain your relationship with your neighbors.

I once cranked my Yamaha RX-A2010 to reference level (zero) for a few seconds while watching a loud scene from the last Transformers movie. The dust from the flourscent fixture above started falling on me and the starter actually popped out of its socket but the RX speakers didn't break-up :). You can ask uerkiwi09 who was with me at the time.
Karzai is right, listening at reference level isn't very neighborly.

Hi John! Now ko lang nakita itong thread...... Heehhehehe shipped na po!! Thanks!
-
Cal thanks for the "stealth" cables. I'm impressed by your craftsmanship. I installed them last night and I could tell straight away there is a difference. I can't put my finger on it yet as I can only listen at much reduced levels at night but for sure I get more details when watching movies.
I played my "reference" concert BDR (Roy Orbison) and there was an imbalance in volume especially on the highs between the surrounds and the fronts/center (which received the new cables) where before there was perfect synergy. That proves the introduction of new cables drastically changed something. I'll have to do a new YPAO calibration this coming weekend to balance things out again.
Thanks again Cal.

Thanks, John! Glad you liked the looks of those cables and its sonic benefits! :) Oops OT na ata!

you will never go wrong with either of the two choices coupled with the RXLCR and perhaps the BXFX if price of the RXFX is quite stiff.

sent you PM sir Lance,
the floor stander would have an edge versus the book shelf considering the extra woofer, in two channel audio listening wihtout subwoofer the floor stander have an edge because of better bass, i believe in movies, the floor stander can produce better sound quality when crossing the xover to 80 hz versus the bookshelf.
to better gauge the SQ, you might want to visit audioworld and do a side by side of the RX1 versus RX 6 and hear for yourself if the difference may be significant enough for you to go floor stander.

Guys, tanung ko lang kung ok na ba yun monitor audio vector 5.1 with yamaha rx-v371 para sa 14ft by 14ft na room??
-
if I may report what I experienced earlier...
first had a listen to the RX1 set up with a Nad and an olive 03... me and the boss were amazed at the soundstage... big voice from little speakers :o
then we requested the RX2... not as big a soundstage but room immediately got filled...
but this is intended for ht so we asked if we can listen with the MA RXC. Started with the RX1 + center... it was nice but not what we wanted (too bad as this can save me some bucks)
requested the RX2 and this fit the bill, very nice... clarity which is what we wanted was there and the sound quality was astounding. Now I know why ht gurus here prefer this brand and in silver ;D
I have been listening to several brands and model over the weekend, some were nice some were just speakers in a corner... this one is the one for me. maybe the RX6 is a better option, I never tried nor considered them for budgetary reasons ;D ;D ;D
oh and before we left, we listened to the BX5... what can I say? its not silver ;)
this is my experience, I hope I did not offend anyone... ( I tend to do that unintentionally) ;D ;D ;D

If you don't play loud and already know what to expect, it will do. If you haven't heard them, schedule a trip to Audioworld for a demo.
If you're going this direction, try putting the sub in a corner or near a wall to help it.

If you're going this direction, try putting the sub in a corner or near a wall to help it.

I was planning to set up a HT system before I finally decided to just go into pure audio that was why I went to Audioworld for the audition. Yes, i heard the vector 5.1 driven by a Yamaha av receiver. Sounded good with much clarity.

Hi sir,
I haven't heard the wharf 9.1 yet but recently i got a br2. For a small floorstander, it has a loud bass already. No need to add another sub.

Try to consider silver especially the gold series. Super ganda ng gold. Baka 1 time bilihan na lang din peros super tagal na kayo ulit bago mag-upgrade.

anyone here heard rx1 paired with rotel (ra-06 se)? how does it compare to b&w 685? i find the 685 paired with rotel lacking in detail on the highs. thanks.. :)

The 685 really "leans" toward the warm side. If it's detail that you want you should listen to Mordaunt Short Mezzo speakers at 5th Avenue stores.

thanks for the suggestion sir. i will try to audition it when i get the chance to be in manila. Haven't seen Mordaunt Short here in Cebu. :)

what midrange amp will be a good match to rx1? :)

I agree. I was impressed by the Mezzo 2 sound. The details run straight to your face. That's how engaging it is. ;)

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 heard from people for keeps and silver S series dahil maganda talaga, considering parehong MA nag choices mo, ti boils down to hearing the RX before deciding, pwedeng maganda yung RX sa iba pero sa iyo hindi, case in point, im using RS6 and RSLCR, i prefer this one compared to RX6 and RXLCR na mas bagong modelo because mas maganda ng HF ng RS para sa akin, suites me very well, gusto ko kase talaga yung [arang in your face agad yung tunog

Anyone heard the old MA Bronze B2's paired with a Cayin A50t or any tube amp for that matter? Just wondering about the experiences of people with regards to this pairing. :)

match ang cayin sa MA based on my experience........

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 :)
-
Ok will consider auditioning them 1st b4 upgrading, besides it took me quite some time para mabuo tong S series na toh.... ang habol ko kasi is yung floorstander sound-like ng RX2 (according sa reviews) but I've yet to hear them baka kasi konti lang difference coz the S series has 7" woofers while RX2 has 8"
Hmmmm.... By the way hows the quailty & built, is it still the same ???
Quality & built, almost the same but with some improvements sa new models. Ito ang gusto ko sa MA, hindi nagiging cheapo ang gawa nila but if you really want to upgrade...I would suggest go for the GX model and it will not disappoint...Ika nga move to the next level. What's the purpose of UP-grading if you will still remain in the silver model and the SQ difference is subtle or very minimal...Go for GOLD and you will be Happy....IMHO :)
Once I owned the S6, but then ng marinig ko iyong GR-10, I immediately disposed my S6 and upgraded to Gold. That small yet powerful monitor paired with my Amadeus KT88 tube amp delivered the near-live reproduction of performances from Rebecca Pidgeon, Jheena Lodwick, The Brothers Four, Harry Belafonte Live @ Carnegie Hall and the whole jazz quartet of Eddie Higgins and Scott Hamilton inside my room... :)
-
Thanks for the suggestion, actually I heard the new GX50 last week (with ribbon tweeters) malayo nga talaga sya sa silver, kung may extra money lang talaga me why not, it's just way out of my budget, I'd rather throw in a couple of bucks more to amplifiers

Lahat ng current MA series kahit na iyong Platinum nila ay gawa na lahat sa China with the strict QC ng MA UK, ang ribbon tweeters nila ay outsourced sa Malaysia. So far sa narinig ko, ang closest na pwedeng tumapat sa current production ng Silver ng MA ay iyong Polk LS series. Medyo bright ang RS or RX series pero refined, kung ang Polk RTi naman, well IMHO or depende sa makikinig ay one step back. Ang Polk ay tulad ng MA Silver series (S, RS or RX), kailangan mo ng magandang electronics otherwise magiging fatiguing kase nga forward, detailed yet medyo bright ang tunog. Pero once na mabigyan mo both ng justice ang MA Silver or Polk LS type speakers thru good amplification, and you will be very happy :)

As far as I know, Yamaha receivers uses Burr-Brown built in DACs and also read from the Yamaha website, the RX-A2010 also uses Burr-Brown 192khz/24bit all channels driven. Burr Browns usually give out punchy bass and warm sound. I think NAD also uses Burr Brown ( not sure ) I think either the Monitor Audio or Polk Audio will be a good match for your Yamaha on both music and movies. Polk Audio is nice for movies as it has that "forward attack"

with all due respect, I think speaker comparison should be done in the appropriate thread, this is the Monitor Audio speaker thread and it would always be nice for people wanting to read about MAs to determine merits of the speaker thorugh a dedicated MA thread.
I think there's nothing wrong in doing a comparison..... Let's say si Pedro ang speakers niya ay Polk and he's curious about the MA, so it's just fine for him to make his Polk as his reference especially kung hindi pa niya naririnig ang MA. So I would ask you, if someone inquired about the performance of MA and make other speaker brands as his/her reference given that you've heard the other brand, what would you say? So how will you justify the brand with respect to his reference speaker being the Polk for example? This is not about a shootout of speaker brands. It's about how you give your opinion to those who might be interested to own a pair of MA and in your own little way, you helped the brand or the company with that information you provided....Baka after ng discussion ninyo ay nagulo ang mundo niya and bumili siya ng isang pares ng MA, who knows?
Even sa professional reviews they do comparison like the one below, excerpt from Monitor Audio RS6 review by Robert Reina - Stereophile.
Comparisons
I compared the Monitor Audio Silver RS6 ($999/pair) with three other loudspeakers: the NHT SB3 ($600/pair), the Epos M5 ($695/pair), and the Amphion Helium2 ($1000/pair).
The NHT SB3 was sweet, warm, and romantic in the midrange, but with less inner detail and less extended highs than the Monitor RS6. The NHT's midbass was more colored and sluggish, and its overall transient articulation was not as fast or as clean as the Monitor's. Dynamics, overall, were better through the Monitor.
The Epos M5 was clean and crisp, with a rich midrange and extended highs, but the Monitor's highs were more delicate, and its bass extension and high-level dynamics were superior. The Epos's inner-midrange detail was excellent, but the Monitor's was slightly better. The two speakers' low-level dynamics and lower-midrange neutrality were equal.
The Amphion Helium2's midrange detail and neutrality were as good as the Monitor's, and the Amphion's highs were as extended and detailed—but the Monitor's highs were a touch more delicate. The Amphion's midbass was uncolored, but the Monitor's bass extension and high-level dynamic slam were superior.
IMHO....regards :)

The way i understand Onkyo, i think he, or the mods, would prefer that we open a new thread like "Polk comparisonS VS M.A." or the like. Rather than compare Polk in a dedicated MA thread.

Just FYI or Onkyo's Info....In this very thread, you will find several comparisons of MA to other brands (like Mission, Kef, Infinity, Polk and B&W) made by those people who came 2 years before me when I first posted in this thread in 2005.

Noted. ;)

Nough said guys...lets get at the topic ;)
had my RX set delivered awhile ago....
I just tested RX1 (driven by Rotel 1068/Rotel 1070 for fronts in two channel mode)
while listening to Diana Krall & Nora Jones' music
Found out that the voice are more detailed and highs medyo refined na sya (controlled, warm) at nakakarelax,
and one can easily determine and identify where the voice & highs and mid bass are coming from (I can't explain it in just one word) thus makes the blending of sounds and instruments much detailed.
while my previous S2 was more raw and agressive and sometimes can be fatiguing when listeing to long hours (maybe due to amp/speaker mismatch, rotel are bright amp + S2 bright speakers) now it's corrected somehow
RX2 naman same as RX1 but with much deeper bass very good for those that doesn't want to add sub in their set up (or a stereo amp that doesn't have sub out)
but you need to increase volume a bit to hear each details, I find the RX1 easier to drive sa mahinang volume palang ramdam mo na detalye...
I'll add more impressions soon as I haven't hook my RX center for HT purposes and possible pictures pag sinipag as well
Can't comment about RX1 with AVR, but what I experienced during a demo with an RX1, RX2 & GX-100 paired with either 6550 or KT88-based tube amp. RX1 in a bit open space say about 2ft from the corner / walls, without the foam bungs and damn...You have a topnotch loudspeakers in a small package.
For RX2, you need to crank up the volume a bit higher to drive those 8" woofer, punchy bass but the RX1 will outperform the RX2 in terms of mids and crispy highs. GX-100, well it's a different breed but it's a jaw-dropping, mouth watering, orgasmic and gorgeous-looking speakers. I almost got the GX but my wife stared at me like hell :D. The key thing that I noticed about MA speakers with rear firing port was, they require an ample space to breathe w/o the foam bungs and both the RX1 and GX-100 less the biwire deserved the titles Revolutionary Silver & Gold....Cheers to everyone :)

hi, nad uses sigma delta dac on it's low-end cdps, while it's higher end cdps uses wolfson. an onkyo avr uses burr-brown.
going back to the topic, my take on the rx2 is it's one of the most balance sounding standalone bookshelves out there. it's dynamic and can adapt to many music genres. it's one of the speakers in my wish list ;)

Delta-sigma / sigma-delta is an encoding method. The Wolfson DACs that they use also utilize Delta-sigma modulation (and this is also the case for the TI/Burr-Brown DACs in Onkyo AVRs).
NAD just withheld their DAC source for their entry level models. Afaik, those models use Cirrus/Crystal DACs. Many older NAD models did use TI/Burr-Brown DACs.
Imho, the DAC chip is only one of the many factors that affect the output of a device. You can't tell how a car would perform just by basing on the manufacturer's choice of parts suppliers.

Just my opinion based on my previous listening/demo sessions....
SS Stereo Amplifiers that will matched best with MA RX & GX models
1. Naim Nait 5i
2. Roksan Kandy L3 or K2
3. Rotel 1520
But if you have more legal tenders to burn and you want an amplifier that will drive the best of RX, GX or even the Platinum.....Check the brand....Lavardin. This is a SS amp with tube-sound character, a topnotch and excellent piece of electronics. :)

how about an indepth comparison or more detailed comparison of the rs1 and rx1.
i find it's easier to pinpoint instruments with the rs over the rx and it's a touch more open.. can someone add to this (positive or negative) ?

Hi All,
I have a pair of MA BR5 floorstanders that I bought a few years ago. Would it match with a BX center speaker? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Yes / No, that depends on few reasons. 1. You might have a fully broken-in RS1 when you compared it with a brand new RX1. 2. Your ears are already used to with the RS1 and having a brand new pair of RX1, you might have the tendency of expecting the same performance as with your RS1 immediately. 3. That depends on who will listen to both speakers, side-by-side with both electronics, source, cables and listening environment. :)

anyone comparing the bx2 to rti a3?
-
anyone comparing the bx2 to rti a3?
They sound very different from one another. Call MLY if you want to arrange a comparison.
-
anyone comparing the bx2 to rti a3?
I'll quote Don Master StageA's review on the BX2.
" BX2 is voiced to sound pleasing to the average listener."
"The BX2 will be less fatiguing to listen to and would appear punchier and livelier"
which I thoroughly agree on. It's warm sounding and has good balance.
Compared to the A3, I find that the polk tends to sound sharper. For a few more thousand pesos, there are more choices like the Paradigm Mini Monitor, PSB B6, Acoustic Energy Neo 1, KEF Q100, Mordaunt Short Mezzo 2.
-

Bro I think it is best that you listen to all your choices and decide from there. Mahirap naman kung ibang tao magdedecide for you because ikaw ang gagamit nyan, iba iba kasi tayong taste when it comes to audio/music/HT. Marami namang stores/shops na pwede mong pag-audition like MLY/avshop na nagkekeri ng lahat ng choices mo ;)
We can only give you advices based on your preferences but we can't decide for you...

just wanted to know lang the difference... one of this days... i'll be dropping by sa avshop... just wanted to know the expert's opinion on this....

currently using a pair of BR5 from a friend and contented ako sa mids and low nya balak ko tuloy palitan yung mission ko >:( ;D

Guys, just wanted to ask advice between RX1 and Q300. I have auditioned Q300 but haven't heard the RX1 yet. If anyone have auditioned these both, would love to hear your inputs. I'll be replacing my Magnat 603 which is paired with Marantz MCR603, just a simple set up for now. Thanks
-
I suggest you just visit Audioworld and audition the RX1 there. Best is you hear it yourself.

i find RX1 a bit forward and bright sounding compared to Q300..

thank you sir for the inputs.

There's a rx1 posted in the marketplace,maybe you can ask d seller if you can audition The unit

The onkyo a5vl from avshop partners well with the bx2. i believe entry level integrated amps from cambridge audio and nad should also match properly.

how much yung mga amps na yan sir?thanks
-
how much yung mga amps na yan sir?thanks
brand new sir i think mga around 20k. halos same price lang sila. kapag preowned, i usually see a nad 315bee for around 10k. there is a cambridge audio 550a for sale by hblind for 13k.
all 3 amps sound warm. pero if i'm going to rank the warmth it's going to be nad>cambridge>onkyo

thank sir,sana mabeta na ht ko para makapag start na ng stereo set up

Hi everyone!
I intend to get either a BX2 or an RX2 as my primary speakers. I mainly listen to digital files (24/96 FLACs ripped from SACDs and FLACs from normal audio CDs.
Can anyone tell me if it would be ok for me to hook up my future BX2 or RX2 to a Peachtree Audio deeco56 integrated amp? I am partial towards this amp because it is a USB DAC and amp in one. I was thinking of buying a cheap DAC (like the Audioengine D1 or a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100) and then hook the speakers to a dedicated amp but I decided against it because of the simplicity of the setup if I were to go the Peachtree audio route.
Would this setup be ok? I mainly listen to Jazz, Pop, and not so hard rock (no electronica for me). Also, my PC is also where I watch movies, and thus the speakers will be used to watch movies as well.
The main reason I am partial to this setup is ease of use, particularly if I were to move my setup (like if I were to go out of town for the weekend). I don't have to worry about bringing a separate DAC and amp if I have them in one.
Thanks gurus!
-
Decco 65 sir?
-
Yep Decco 65. Sorry for the typo.
-
Yes it is okay. Preference na lang as to which sound you would like. I think it would sound good with the BX. You might find the RX a tad bright for the Decco 65 specially at high volumes.
-
Thanks for the quick replies sir nelson. Do you have an idea where i can audition these speakers and/or amp? I just want to audition first instead of just relying on blind faith.
Would the rx2 be brighter than the bx2 in the setup i mentioned? I was keen on getting an rx2 as i was afraid i'd get little bass from the bx2. I dont want to add an extra sub.. Thanks!

Try Audioworld along Banawe or MLY along Kalayaan Ave. :)

I assumed that you already have the Decco. I know may distro ang Peachtree dito. I forgot lang the name of the company. And yes, best if you could audition them. What may be bright for others may be neutral to some. ;)

I tried the RX2s yesterday. They sounded really great, with punchy bass that you'd think would only come from floorstanders. Haven't tried the BX2s though. Sulit ba yung difference sa price sa sound quality?

If you can bring out the RX2's potential, medyo malayo ang tunog nya sa BX2. Mas mahirap lang talaga hanapan ng kamatch na gamit and may tendency magboomy in some rooms.
-
When I was searching for a speaker upgrade to my HT.. I demo'd both the BX2 & RX2.. The setup was with a NAD Integrated amp (150w?) both were really nice and had lots of bass for a bookshelf. However the BX2 was a lot muddy for my taste while the RX2 was controlled. The BX2 for its price is really great but if you can stretch some more I would say go with the RX1..
-
Thanks for the replies! Is the RX1 a lot better than the BX2?
-
Thanks for the replies! Is the RX1 a lot better than the BX2?

How much does the RX1 go nowadays? How about the GX50? Thanks!

i have the rx2 and im trying to look for reviews pairing it to emotiva xpa2 since im planning to buy power amp, will it produce too much bass kaya? i read resident_evils review of the xpa2, i thought it will reinforce the bass knowing that my listening area is not wide enough. any inputs guys?
-
I will depend on your preamp sir. I am currently using a BR6 on rotel rb1080, no boom. Excellent pair. Just what i needed
-
thanks tormentor

Its will be better. Bass will be refined and controlled. Because of this, High frequencies will be clearer.
-
You will have to place them farther away from the corner wall as the RX2's are rear ported. Better if you can treat your room w/ bass traps and absorbers. IME, being an 8 incher they need a lot of watts to hear their true potential, open up and for the bass to go deeper and tighter. I hooked them up w/ 16w, 50w, 125w. before yet I still got little improvements w/ an XPA-5 running on 2ch @ 280w. Never felt so rewarded. :) My guess is RX2's will settle at around 150w of power.
-
will an upgrade to RX1 or RX2 from a polk Rti1 be a worthy one?
-
Thanks guys.. I have the nad 372 just wondring an upgrade to xpa2 wil make a diffrence. Nad is 150wpc.
-
If I were in your position, I would rather spend it on other gears or room treatment. But if money is no object, I will go ahead buy the XPA-2, hear for myself if it will make a difference and afterwards sell on the marketplace whichever I think is the more inferior.
If ever, pls. reserve the XPA-2 for me. :)

hi guys. has anybody tried to pair a BX2 with an AMX amp (15wpc)? will this be a good pair? read that the BX2's are quite picky
appreciate your thoughts on this.
-
Had the rx1 recently in high gloss black. The sound is as great as it looks. I am current using it with with rotel amplification. I am very impressed. They can go loud without strain. Would try them with a Nad amp, they match better daw. Looking forward to it.

Heard them both. Rx1 is way better than the rs1. Rx1 is warmer. Both transparent. Highs of both can be harsh and bass of rx1 is a bit loud so partner electronics with care. Rx1 is very very good. From audiophile to metal music. Slayer on vinyl kicks ass on RX1

How would you compare them to the denton?
-
Smoother and warmer ang dentons, more bass and more transparent ang RX1. Also louder,bigger sounding ang rx1.

korek! yun ngang gumagawang karpintero sa amin last month, akala nya may actual na taong kumakanta ng live sa room namin, sabi ko nag so-sound trip lang akong mag-isa, at wala akong kasama, kasi akala rin nya may live band dahil ang laki nga daw tumunog ;)

mga bros, saan ang local distributor ng MA? those who tried the RX1 & RX2 ano observations nyo compared to B/W685?
-
Audioworld in Banawe is the distro, dealers I know are Toys for the Audio boys, Makati (MCS) & AVshop in Kalayaan ave. QC.
685 is more neutral sounding, rx1 is on the warmer side of neutral same as rx2 w/c is more dynamic and can pass as a floorstander for having a big sound.

The rx1 is more transparent than the 685. A better speaker than the 685 as the price suggests.

I recently auditioned an almost new MA rx2 paired with my existing nad326 amp. Pansin ko paranf matigas ang bayo nya. Mga ilang hours po ba tamang break-in neto? Thanks
-
share ko lang na couple of months ago, i purchased a pre owned rotel power amp. i brought my amx tube pre amp to pair with the rotel and it so happened that the owner was using rx1. nagulat talaga kmi ng mga kasama ko sa ganda ng tunog..di ko inexpect na ganun siya ka detailed at ang laki ng tunog for a small BS. Isip isip mode for me tuloy to upgrade my present bookshelf... ::)

Yup mas mahal ang 685 kesa RX1. Tsaka ang counterpart ng RX1 sa 600 series e 686. RX2 sa 685

+100, the RX1 is one of me favorite speakers, warm, very detailed, very big sounding, impressive scale.
I don't understand why some find it bright and forward.
Isn't the RX1 a little cheaper than the B&W 685?
Overseas RX1 is £400 while the 685 is £380.
Sa atin they are priced relatively close. Both ata P29k SRP, more expensive lang yung high gloss na RX1.

During the Hifi show, the distro mentioned they aren't stocking RX2s anymore. I feel bad coz its one of my favorite bookshelves out there but at the same time I feel excited to hear the new Silver line of MA.
-
any news when the new MA Silver (2013) models will be available locally and SRP?

January 2013 daw according to Audioworld last HiFi show. :)

end of January 2014.. konting hintay na lang.

audiophile pala ang karpintero niyo master J :)
hindi naman master G, pero bata pa yung karpintero 28 yrs old lang, sanay kasi tenga nila sa mp3 at earphone then portable lang gamit nila sa bahay base sa interview ko :D kaya siguro na-notice nya yung difference, saka rx6 ang gamit ko nung time na yun.

try correcting the room acoustics first.

naka acoustic treatment ako eh... 2x4 x2, 1x4 x2 carpet x2...
mas ok tunog ng mission mx3 compared sa kanya (almost same price point).

If you still find it "bright", try amps that tend to sound on the warmer side of the spectrum.
NAD and Marantz amps come to mind.
Or, maybe a high powered tube amp will do. Then tube roll to cater to your desired SQ.

I'm using rx1 with rotels (pre/power) detailed but not bright. Big sounding. Try changing speaker cables/IC.

B6 po yun PSB ko dati... ok sya kaso lang hindi ko ma control yun talas
then Mission MX3, sa una parang regular FS at walang strength not unlike PSB una plang astig na agad ang low's at mid pero yun nka 1month burn in ayun lumabas na ang lambing at low's lalo na yun kinabit ko Xindak bi-wire ganda ng dynamics (wait lang talaga ng matagal na burn in).
As for RX1, testing side by side sa MX3, malaki different sa lahat eh. (MX3 win), pero try ko ulit using ibang cable at IC.
Note: isang 64yrs old na babae, isang 7yrs old na babae at ako, lahat kami iisa ang comment. pero still will try ibang cables...
thanks
-
I test RX1 whole day kahapon and using 12awg pure copper, ayun nabawasan yun talas. dapat walang comparison ang BS to FS dahil angat na angat ang FS, pero astig si RX1 just close your eye and "BOOM" laki ng tunog nya, one thing na pansin ko sa RX1 yun Low nya... ang sweet at saktong sakto lang hindi attack or boomy, smooth and tight sya.
Test ko muna sa tatlong album ni Noel Cabangon at wala ako masabi sa sweet and detailed nya.
Biyahe, Panaginip at Tuloy and Biyahe.
Then test sa Metallica "Black album" ganda ng opening kick drum sa "Nothing else Matter" solid and tight.
na compare ko sya sa B6, given na mas mataas ang price ni RX1, yes mas maganda ang bass ng RX1.
Then ito na test kay Radiohead - Kid A album. astig itong album na ito considering 2000 nilabas yun album at considered na post grunge, parang nag time skip si Thom at napunta sa 3000 at bumalik ulit sa 2000. grabe ang pagka latag ng tempo at electronics dito, first time ko nadinig same feeling na parang nagpunta ako sa future... Sorry sa short review sa Kid A album
Tracks:
Treefingers - kayang kaya nya delivered yun dating ng pag transience sa time skip feeling.
Kid A - sakto lang medyo nahirapan sa bilis na tempo from mid to high low's.
The National Athem - magaling separation ng mga electronics at still nasasakal sa tempo ng mid to high low's
Optimistic - Nahirapan sa lahat. grabe kasi ang gawa dito, ang dumi ng gitara tapos malinaw na consistent drums and synthesizer sa background. well hindi ko pa ito naririnig talaga ng maayos, hindi ko na alam kung normal na madumi sya.
I also test sa mga Jazz at instrumental like Prozak, Tito Tevez, Chillout proj, ect. wala naman issue at kayang kaya...
Buy the way, tama ba yun mga chismis na hind pwede sa rock to hard low's ang tube amp at pang SS amp lang ang ganun genre?
Salamat
-
ako din medyo bright yun RX1 paired w/ Rotel...
any advise kung ano magandang paired w/ RX1?

Di po ba Sir pag bright sounding sa pandinig nyo ang RX1, dapat gamitan ng warm or neutral sounding amplifier? Ang pairing kasi nyan eh yung pine-pair ni Audioworld (roksan amp) pero mahal nga lang.,Eh bakit kay Sir Denton rotel pre/power and RX1, superb combination (maybe because RB 1080 yung power amp nya kaya tanggal ang talas at matching rotel pre amp). May mga mura namang alternative for the amp but we need to audition muna kung papasa sa musical preference ng gagamit.

Ok din 04se sa rx1, neutral kasi 04se kaya lalabas character ng rx1 being detailed kaso medyo bitin sa power, kulang to drive the rx1 to its potential. Sometimes kala natin matalas amp pero what we don't know is that kulang lang sa power idrive yung rx1. i suggest to pair it with at least ra1520. Try neutral cables like chord silverscreen para mas musical pero detailed. 80 watter lang rx1 so may limitation yung lakas nya.
-
How about Emotiva (high wattage), musta matching nila? medyo kapos na ako sa pera khit mag RA1520 ako.. :(

For me, match ang emotiva and rx series. Match sa sound, match sa price.
I heard some ss amps that sound like tube and emos are not one of them, they're neutral sounding. But the class-A's are a little bit sweet. Get at least 150w tweak na lang sa cables.

Ohh I see... Thanks for the comparisons :)
The way i see it, ndi lang siguro pasok sa taste mo yung MA sound, and maybe you prefer the Mission house sound. :)
From the looks of it, you prefer warm/laid back sound over one that is near flat in response, and you most certainly have an aversion for something that peaks on the top end.
Cheers :)

Gusto ko po ang MA, may isang review po ako sa back page. gumamit lng po ako ng simpleng speaker cable at IC ayun resolve na yun talas. sabi nga ni Denton, neutral ang RA04SE, binibigay lang nya yun detailed signature ng MA. Two things gusto ko sa MA, low's na control at smooth then mids na nag fa-fade away sa hangin, ok din ang high yun nga lang minsan pumapasok yun "tsss".
-
This thread has been awfully quiet. Anyway, Monitor Audio has a new series, MR. It claims to be an evolution over BX. I wonder if anyone has listened and compared the two. I was able to audition the MR and it was impressive. Very clear vocal. Very good mids. Smooth low. Seems to be a good option over bookshelf speakers with the same or even higher price.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new receiver for my MA BR5s. I use it mostly for movies (90%) and for concerts (10%). I was originally thinking of Yamaha or HK, but I am open to other brands... Any recommendations?
Also, any good shops that offer Yamaha and HK at reasonable prices? Thanks!!
-
How about Onkyo - better than Yamaha and HK. We (there was another PDVD member who also happened to be shopping for a receiver) did a "shoot out" at LIS when I was auditioning for a receiver, and the Onkyo sounded better for music and especially movies, no "fatigue" factor.

How about Onkyo - better than Yamaha and HK. We (there was another PDVD member who also happened to be shopping for a receiver) did a "shoot out" at LIS when I was auditioning for a receiver, and the Onkyo sounded better for music and especially movies, no "fatigue" factor.
Thanks for the advice. Would you know what Onkyo model was being tested? Does LIS carry all three models?
How is Onkyo as a brand? How is the quality of the build?
-
I would rate Onkyo "up there" among leaders in AV Receivers. I bought the entry level Onkyo 313 for a second set up and been a happy user - the most important factor to look out for is "listener fatigue" especially with the sound effects for a home theater, Onkyo, for me, manages this best. Yes, LIS carries all models, for all leading AVR brands, which is why we had the chance to do the side-by-side demo/shoot out.

Thanks very much. Will try to pass by LIS. :-)

By the way, would you recommend certain mininum specs needed to drive the BR5s properly?

Anybody using Monitor Audio Silver 2 for Stereo only setup? Feedback? Thanks..
-
Ask lang match ba na gawing sorround ang MA silver RX1 to Polk audio RTI A3 front
vice versa?
-
still using the Monitor Audio RS6, RSLCR and RSFX, old model but sounded so good I haven't been interested in replacing them since I got them.
-
Are the new Bronze speakers already available locally?
-
ok rin ba yung entry level ng MA per your audition and listening?

Bronze 5 Soon!
(http://ca2.monitoraudiocdn.com/_c360xauto/Bronze-5-HFC-news.jpg?mtime=20150907150531)
The new Bronze 5 has put some distance between it and the BX5 with a stunning first-test result in Hi-Fi Choice mag. Following the excellent five-star review for the Bronze 2 in What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision, David Vivian’s experience clearly reveals the audiophile nature and astonishing value offered by the new Bronze series. Awarding a Hi-Fi Choice recommended badge and a maximum five stars for sound quality, value, ease of drive and overall, he says “…Bronze 5 doesn’t come across like an incremental evolution of the BX5. Instead, it looks and sounds as if it should cost at least £1,000…straight away I’m hooked by the bijou tower’s powers of resolution and capacity to dig deep into a recording. The inner detail it captures can sometimes seem mesmerising…That such compelling clarity, grip, dynamics and enormous musical insight can be experienced from a slim box at a beer budget price is a powerful statement.”
-
May I know when you will have new Bronze complete series in stock? Thinking to do a second 5.1 system. thanks!
-
kindly post the prices as a matter of policy.
where can we audition? ;D

hi mga sir, i have an RX6 ( 6 Ohms, 90 dB) and driving it with an Onkyo A9030 integ. amp. rated at 65 W/channel (1kHz , 4 ohms , 2 channel driven IEC). from the Onkyo manual , it says i can only use it to bi-wire speakers with an impedance of 8 - 16 Ohms. from the specs it is not applicable but still, i am curious to ask/know if pwede ko pa rin sya i-bi-wire? :) TIA :)

good am. pwede bi-wire, use a speaker wire with 2 is to 4 terminals. you can connect it on speaker A amp side and then the other side on the 4 speaker terminals, you have to remove the plate connector of course.
hope this helps. ;D

hi sir luis, wala sir ako wire na 2 is to 4 terminals :). pwede ba sir 4 pairs of speaker wires connecting it to the A and B speaker terminals on the amp? tia :)
-
Bro, lahat na lang ng thread inispam mo na. Hindi tama na yung thread ng ibang speaker brand e hina-hijack mo. I am using kef and believe with its trademark pero hindi tama eto.

wrong post kau sir kefofficial, teritoryo ng Monitor Audio to,hahaha....

pwede kung kaya ng amp, look at the caution note at the back panel near the speaker terminals.
good luck. balitaan mo kami. ;D
-
did not have the chance to audition yesterday but was able to ask the representative of the Distributor, "difference between rx2 and the new silver 2?". he said better mid-range, warmer. ;D

Thanks for coming sir.
-
its not enough to just say better mid-range.
the best way would still be "actual audition" of the speakers. audio shops should always be ready for walk in buyers most especially pag malayo pa pinanggalingan ni sir.
anyway, what is spectacular for that audio shop is their amazing 30% discount pag cash purchase unlike others. :)

sabi lang ng in charge, hindi puwede audition kc hindi nakasetup. kaya umalis na lang ako.ganda pa naman tignan ng showroom nila,di naman pala puwede itest so useless.
kaya better call first and request na iset up muna nila,para pagdating nyo, nakaready na.

I sometimes experience this when I go to audition speakers and it always turns me off. You'll never know when a customer is in a real Buying mode and this kind of a response from a salesperson will most likely blow a potential sale.
Any comments from those who already auditioned the new Bronze's? I'm thinking of replacing my B&W 685's with Bronze 5's

made in china pa rin ba?

"We're impressed by the Bronze 2's ability to stay composed, even at high volumes, and by the scale of their presentation."
As well as praising the performance of the new Bronze 2s, What Hi-Fi? commended the development from previous generations. New technology has been introduced, whilst retaining the best qualities of the highly-regarded Bronze series that came before:
"An object lesson in how to take a great-sounding speaker and refine it further. Arguably the best Bronzes yet"
Our Bronze 1 bookshelf speakers have received an overwhelming response from BBC Music Magazine, as well as being selected as a "BBC Music Choice" product!
"All this technology and build excellence is impressive given the sub-£300 price tag which is generally regarded as a budget price for loudspeakers."
"At high levels, where things can get a bit muddled, the Bronze 1s never seem to miss a beat, remaining perfectly timed and in control of the sound."
"...their performance delivers at a level of speakers at least two or three times more, I'd give them six stars if I could."

had the chance to audition the Bronze 5 at AudioWorld. with Yamaha AVReceiver (idk the model) and Theta CD player yata yun.
im impressed. Highs so fine, lush mids and clean bass. powerful as well. cant help comparing its mids and HIs to my BX2... ang layo. smoother ang Bronze series ngayon i believe.

I just got a second hand Monitor Audio MR4 and Center package courtesy of joaquinibe, a fellow PDVD member. It replaced my Mission M702E and Center. I'm very very happy with my new set of old speakers hehe. A lot of improvement in terms of sound quality and soundstage. Powered by Harman Kardon AVR, they sing a balance tune. Highs are very good, vocal/mids are excellent and the lows are. . . yes so low that you do not need to engage an active subwoofer when listening to music. A big big big improvement from the Mission set they replaced. I think they will continue to sing good music and provide theater like sound in our living room for a long time.

that's nice! congratz, sir..

Any Gold 50 user in the group? What amp are you driving them with? Any feedback would be much appreciated as i am looking to buy a pair to replace my paradigm studios.

ganda bro. I used to power my Golds with a 250Wpc solid-state monoblock, bi-wired and bi-amped kasi each amp block has 2 pairs of active outputs.
then I have a tube preamp with outboard power supply, fed by a DAC with tube buffer both having an outboard power supply. super linis ang tunog ng MA. the only problem is how to tone down the highs and sometimes, the mids.
making use of an appropriate wire and speaker cables will do the trick. in my case, I used Ecosse speaker cables and interconnects....effective naman.
I maintained this system for almost 10yrs ng walang galawan….that goes to show how satisfied ive been....MAs are flexible/versatile. they can make any music genre sound good. they are very open and transparent sounding, at least compared to those na nadinig ko na.
id vouch for MA golds and all the other models above it. maganda talaga tumunog bastat busog lang sa power.
