Sir Mike C, saan ka po nakabili ng quick lock plugs

I finally had the time to listen to the BR2's.  But unlike many of you audiophiles, I wouldn't know bright from warm,
good from very good, etc.  if they bit me in the ass.  so I had to use another pair of speakers as reference, what I had immediately available was the Polk Audio Rti4.  (which coincidentally was similar in price)

I now had an excuse to use my newly purchased quick lock plugs:


I used the Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 connections on my HK3480 which could be controlled via remote control (unlike my yamaha's speaker a and speaker b connections):


I set them up alternately so the soundstage would be the same width:

Just completed by Bronze Reference HT setup. BR2, BR LCR and BR1. paired with Denon 1907 and Velodyne VX10-II.  Very satisfied, upgrade bug won't bite me for a long time :-)

I recommend The Home Theater, look for Butch or Sonny. You won't regret it!

congrats bro, dont forget to give us your feedback on your new MAs, question lang, what other brands did you consider at why did you choose the MAs over them?

Thanks :-)

speakers that I auditioned were Mission, B&W, Mordaunt-Short, Wharfs and Dali. MA was the clear winner for me due to its best mids and high and dynamic bass and fits my budget. Multi awarded also :-)

Sir grim,

If you dont mind, how much yung damage ng BR2?
Would you know how much BR5 are?
These are the speakers that I am planning to get for myself.  I do hope you can help me.
If you dont want to post the price, paki PM naman.
Thanks so much and congrats on your wonderful set-up. ;D

i believe BR2 is priced at 18k and BR5 at around 35k.
check it out anyway in audible illusion(timog beside Lexus) or audioworld(banawe).

I auditioned BR2s earlier in SGT - out of the box, great sounding speakers.
Visit SGT for a demo, I'm sure they will give you good discounts ;)
