my first speaker was an MS CARNIVAL 6. Add a couple thousand, I can get an Avant Series which handles both HT and Audio better than the Carnivals.

If you have a bigger budget you'd better go with the Avant.

The Carnival set is kinda bright, more suited for music than movies.
But if you're not maarte it's ok naman.  ;)

Mordaunt-Short Classic
« Reply #1361 on: Apr 24, 2009 at 10:56 PM »
guys i'm using Yamaha 995 AVR..
Mordaunt short classic floor standing speakers..
Jamo center..
Dai-ichi rear..
Velodyne sub..

Sir vic of Sights suggested na dapat same brand ang front and center..
Kaso hesitant ako bumili ng mordaunt na center kasi parang walang masyadong nagamit sa mga members dito..happy naman ako sa sound ng mordaunt..for gaming, movies..and sometimes music..

Iniisip ko tuloy kung wharfe na front and center..pati na rin rear ang buy ko..any suggestions..

i suggest to spend a bit more money and go for the polk tsi series. very good value for money. come by the shop so you can check them out. i can give you very good deals on the polk tsi series. :) if on a budget, you might be interested in the polk m series. very very affordable. :)

one reason that comes to mind is that mordaunt speakers are not carried by our more popular suking ht stores and because wharfes and missions (currently) are more popular and has better price points.

i think avesco is the local distributor for MS speakers, to audition the speakers, try visiting 5th avenue stores. i believe some SM appliance centers carry some models as well.

Maayos din talaga sila tumunog. Pakinggan mo na lang if they're to your liking. :)

5th Ave in Shang or Park Square might be able to help you.

I've had several speakers na.. B&W, AE, Wharf, Mission, Paradigm, Martin Logan, marami sakanila madali ko pagsawaan at pag pinagsawaan binebenta,

yun MS902 ko I had since its release and till now ayaw ko siya ibenta. :) siya yung pinaka relaxing/balanse pakinggan FOR ME... ;)

depende rin sa current set of gears mo siyempre, maganda kung consider mo rin sila when purchasing. :)

I've listened to the Mordaunt Short Mezzo bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. They sound really nice with a very open and large soundstage with surprisingly good bass produced by the bookshelf models. If I only could afford it I would have a second system with these.

I have the carnival 5.1 setup speakers for a year now. right now im recalibrating it again using auddesey eq to optimize the sound quality for movies.my AVR is a denon 1610 now find the calibration for the sub returns a -12 db which is a bit low. Does it mean that the Denon audessey finds the sub to load.

Can any recommend the proper way to calibrate these carnival speakers for optimization in audessey.

thanks in advance

After Audyssey (though I am using an Onkyo) I normally add between +4 to +8 for the subwoofer and sometimes I reduce my rears by -2 to keep the front stage more dominant.

I agree. These are indeed excellent (and underrated) speakers. :)
