Well no need to get upset and start getting insulting. You were the one who said it out performed many high end 2 channel systems which even someone with relatively little knowledge knows it can't just based on the position of the front speakers. Rear sound effects is a pretty big thing to...

I'm not sure you can say for a second the tv isn't too high if it's above the top of your head. The only way to view is by angling your head back. With your head at the back wall and no speakers behind you I'm really not sure how it is possible to get a proper dimension to the sound that is...

Sorry to say this unless something major changes you should get used to a low amount of regular posters. Put it this way over the last couple of weeks I could of started loads of threads but the simple answer why I wouldn't this - this isn't the place, I really could not be bothered to waste my...

Tell me how anyone would think they are Montior Audio 300 gold? Nowhere does it say on anything Monitor Audio. They don't look like the speakers. No one is going to spend £500 on them thinking they are the £3000 speakers. You say it's a scam please explain how it's a scam? The name isn't the...

Can't see how it's a scam it's no more than a look a bit similar at a stretch with a name MA Audio 300 which unless someone has a copyright to 'MA audio 300' they have done absolutelty nothing wrong. Spare up your time instead of worrying about such things. Edit - TBH you would be a total idiot...

Sometimes I wonder if 100 hours burn-in really means 100 hours to get used to the sound.

Very true. The seller should be paying the person who wants them to take them away. Total skip fodder.

Being the se version he should have the upgraded tweeters and crossover. Yeah the main drivers had problems but the updated versions of the drivers from the French company don't suffer from the issue. Unfortunatly the upgraded French drivers have run out and IAG supply a driver manufactured in...

If we are talking about 1995 they are not the same speakers. If these speakers came from the early 2000's they are a big step up from what you are talking about and look nothing like the old 780se. If I rememeber correct the early 2000's 780se retailed £350-400 direct competitor to the B&W 685...

All it gives you is neck ache. Unfortunatly so many people mount tv's on walls too high with regards to the seating postion. Can't really see a real arguement that there is too much pre-amps / power amps that a tv has to mounted high. The fundimental first step is to get a comfortable viewing...

Bear in mind now days that speaker design is done at CAD level using advanced simulation and analysis to obtain the best from the stucture / driver / crossover and then will go on to prototyping to further prove the design. Not with a in wall speaker you have all the surrounding stucture be it...

It is quite discrete but I think the TV position is all wrong - basically too high with regard to the seating postion and distance to tv My other question would be in reality the speakers would be a comprise over traditional boxes in sound quality. At what point does atmos out benefit shear...

Any reasonable hifi shop should be able to make you up a cable of any length you want - they should have various brands in stock. On the other hand it's not hard to make your own up.

What was the problem getting it fixed? It's only a VAM1250 you were after if it was a laser problem and then you would probably only change the laser is not the mech if it was still working OK. Oh well.

Can't see it changing fast or even a huge uptake. What with DVD still probably massively outselling blu ray nevermind UHD and streaming of various natures the future is going to be tough. I'm sure like many parents I just buy DVD for the kids, they will watch a film over and over - they won't...
