To Opo, I for once own a pair of the Bose companion 20. The sound performance was as follows: The Highs were present but perhaps could do more with some finesse. The midrange; vocals were clear uncoloured by bass given there is only on driver. However ive hear more emotion in vocals on...

Very Delighted with the amount of replies!!!..Keep them coming Guys... Its somehow an educational experience as it may deter some of us from falling in the same traps.. But however the big question remain.!! .How can so many of these products mentioned on this thread had been granted 5*...

To some extent we have all in the past bought hifi items which we regretted investing money in. perhaps other will like to share their experience. Mine will be the Arcam rpac. Bought it in 2012, return it because it was faulty. got a new one and the same thing occur: which is the ad hoc cut off...

Hi all, When there are a number of customers all complaining about a product then there is surely something wrong with the rPac. i cant enjoy any listening without the rpac being been cut off .. I have tried to comtact the company but no replies..its frustrating beyond measure .. the point...

To Op, I am currently thinking along the same line as you. V4. I have the AS500. However my reason is because the combination of MA Bx2 is a fiasco IMO. I regret and regret it. Very bright going on the harsh. The bass is almost to none existence despite several effort. I finally conclude that...

Thank you all for the replies. I admit my room certainly needs treatment. but sadly I have to stick with wife friendly furnishing..I was lucky , she accepted the BX2 .. but now I am hoping to buy a floor stander to match the lack of bass and soundstage. I have the Tannoy V4 and Q acoustics...

Cno and matthewpiano thank you for the reply. Cno i dont have lots of soft furnitures in the room.. the floor is in ceramic tiles and plus it have concrete walls.. However Matthew tell me more about the Mission MX1..is the MX 1 bass expansive and deep compare to the BX2 ?to my surprise i was...

I did a demo. I end up taking the As500 over the marantz PM 6004 because it sounded a bit warmer to my ears ..To be honest the low frequency was lacking ..but since the demo room was not the best one ..in terms of size and no poper solid wall behind the speaker..i thought at home they will...

My room is 4 m x 5m and i have the sounstyle Z2 as my stand. QED aniversary cable with milty banna plug.. I have run-in the BX for 6 month. i have checked the poles. even checked if mid bass driver has been screwed well. even test each drive seperately. toe in the speaker. i have even...

I have been unhappy with my BX2 sound across the AS500. Thankfully I have the ideck 200 with arcam rPac in my room. Problem: The BX 2 simply is not delivering the depth of low frequency much less the sound stage is not expansive. Instrument gets muddle together. The mid and High are on the...

To OP I seems to be having the same problem with BX2 ( good mid and high frequencies, but lack of bass). BX2 and BX5 equally have received good reviews on WHF and IMO these MAs will tend to have similar tonal charactestics since thay from the same series and share similar technology , drivers...

Thank you all for the favourable replies..very much appreciated..sorry for not replying earlier..i have not been well.. I am more incline toward the 2050i now but .. However I have one question for gurjitsidhu.. gurjitsidhu as mentioned earlier you have both 684 and 2050 i ..Which of the...

To OPO, Well my friend..all i have to say about the 8.1 will be good things..I was introduce in real hifi world after listening the 8.1..up til now i am still wondering how on earth could such little pair of stand mounters sound so confident..The 8.1 produce such a depth of low frequency that i...

Hi everyone, I have recently moved in a new home..my lounge measures 4.4mX5m. however i dont feel the bass presence of the BX2 as i used to in my old apartment. I listend to music ranging from ballads, blues, rnb, to hiphop, pop.. I currently have the As500 amp. I am looking for floor stander...
