RE: EV Patrician IV

I presume you have six of them in a 5.1 home cinema setup?  Smile

RE: EV Patrician IV

You wouldn't need the .1 bit as they go down to 18hz.

At what level, can't find anything on google mentioning it in the +/- 3db (or 6) bandwidth?

That applies to all MA speakers. Fabulous.

The KEF Muon's are my choice but at more real world money then the Dali Fazon F5 is the one.

Agree on the KEF Muons - they are the stuff of dreams pray I only wish they made a Muon 5.1 system.

+1 on that pp - I love MA speakers - regardless of my comments about the Muons above - I'd love an MA PL system... woohoo!

Great work, keep um coming.

I think the simplicity of the Vienna Acoustics Bach in gloss white is also a winner.

RE: Best looking speakers on the market

 

 I like mine and most of B&W's range.  I'm pretty fussy to be honest when it comes to speakers but if there was another speaker package I have liked in the past it was the Mission Elegante speaker package.  I suppose I do like the looks of the Monitor Audio Apex speaker package but have never seen them in person, and I'm not 100% sure I like the look of the centre speaker.

Personally I prefer the looks of the Blades.... >)

I have to say the ProAc Carbon 8's in the darker, glossy wood finish look stunningly stunning Smile

I do like the look of the Floe Glass speakers, mind you they would'nt fit in with the decor at present. Clicky

That bungee cord was präzisionsgestimmte. Probably...
