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.

james16 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 29, 2003 at 02:35 AM »

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...

v0elker · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 29, 2003 at 04:14 PM »

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.

wolf666 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jun 30, 2003 at 09:37 PM »

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).

monitor audio can be heard on demo on architectural audio in new world, and spectra in makati

janno · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 01, 2003 at 11:30 PM »

b2 sounds really good, alive ang vocals with deep sustained lows. heard the demo from spectra this afternoon.

greatness · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 02, 2003 at 08:07 AM »

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...

haribon · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 07, 2003 at 08:29 AM »

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

pukx · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 07, 2003 at 11:28 AM »

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

geko · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 07, 2003 at 12:07 PM »

yup! the b2s indeed sounded great with hk. buti na lang wala na akong pera...

greatness · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 08, 2003 at 02:48 PM »

maibenta ko lang speakers ko..... m72i at bibili na ko ng b2 na yan..... Inip na inip na ako!

AVDude · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 10, 2003 at 06:36 PM »

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

greatness · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 11, 2003 at 09:10 AM »

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.

pukx, bro ano difference nila? balak ko kasi mag-upgrade, nasa shortlist ko both yan b2 at m73.

[r0n1n] · « **Reply #26 on:** Jul 12, 2003 at 10:02 AM »

good praises for b2-HK combo

di ba ang HK high current amp? in that case, how well can it perform with other receivers?
