I'm not surprised given your Tyler Durdan-like split personality Frank, I mean Fravid, Dank, no, David, sorry...

Anyway, so long as we don't have to invite Meatloaf...

I guess Durban must have its own Hopscotch Collective...

If not, it almost certainly has a Horticultural College

 

[The_Lhc]

I'll bear that in mind...

I wouldn't mind if the name was mentioned on here, but it's not, only as a company name! As if any company director has any free time to mess about on forums!

Give your family my wishes

A touch of innocent fun, since the lad seemed to have got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. Oh, and a typo: meant to put the_dhl

One tries to keep informed of such things, and I think it is highly germane to the current discussion.

Agree, I´m not from UK and dont know anithing about Musicraft in Derby, but perfectly understand Andrew point.

Hi all,

The bass of the RX2 is much more accurate, I prefer to RX2 in relation to design and finish. They are beautiful and part of the room with great competence.
Regards to all.

Hi

I’m upgrading my BR2 speakers, the contenders are: BX2, SX1 and Q300.

My room is small so they need to be placed 8 in from the back wall and 20 in from corners, so I demo them with that placement.

They took the BX2 out from the box and I demo them (no running time). The bass very poor IMO, probably because of no running time, also was not very happy with the middle high frequencies

I listened to the SX1 and the bass was very boomy and not organized, mids and treble just perfect, probably the effect of their rear port.

The last speaker was the q300 and the first thing that I noticed was their presence, they filled the room perfectly, just the perfect bass, nice and deep. The mids and highs where not as good as the SX1.

An important factor was the price, in my country the Q300 are just 90 pounds more expensive than the BX2 and 20 pounds cheaper than the SX1.

Despite their ugliness IMO I think that the Q300 where far better from the other options for the placement that I needed.

Was I unfair with the Rx1 because of the running time?

Any opinions about their placement, my room is 4m x 4m and 2.5m high so they need to be near the corners?

Im running them with C315 BEE amp and 515 CD, Im I overbuying speakers?

Thanks

Dear Mr. MCRetina,

It seem this topic compare between RX2 and Q300 not RX1 as I am sure RX2 is better than RX1. I think you should hear more RX2 to have your final conclusion.

the_lhc, you're funny

the_lhc, you're funny

Err, thanks, I guess, but what's that got to do with this thread?

 

[Frank Harvey]

I read it through again.

 

[The_Lhc]

I read it through again.

Oh, hmmm, blimey, I don't even remember having that conversation...

I never did get the free speakers though.

It was the bit about tapping someone on the forehead every time you talk to them - got me :rofl:

Dear ngoquangbach

First let me apologize for the mistake of calling the Silver RX1 range Sx1.

I think you are right, the RX2 must be better and front ported but out of my budget range. I compared the Rx1 with the Q300 because their price is similar here.

Thanks
