Finally installed my Monitor Audio RX2s
.
I bi-amped them with the QED XT Evolution cables on my Yamaha RX-V663
receiver and put them on the Atacama Audio SL600 speaker stands. Here's
what I have to say after a full day of listening to them:
The Monitor Audio RX2s sound amazing. Truly impressed with these
speakers. The bass has a lot of weight and punch as if it's coming from
a decent floorstander. The slightly forward midrange sounds beautiful
as well, and don't forget the treble. In fact, every part of the
frequency range sounds amazing. I played all types of genres and they
seem to be perfect for every one of them, even for movies and games. A
true allrounder.
The QED XT Evolutions with Atlas banana Z-plugs also impressed me.
Though I couldn't compare them with any other speaker cable, the XT
Evolutions didn't make the sound bright at all. In fact, with my
current system, they sound perfectly balanced.
The Atacama Audio SL600 speaker stands compliment the RX2s perfectly.
The top plate's width is almost the same as the RX2's and they're
perfectly stable (even when they're not filled). It's like they were
made for these heavy RX2s. I didn't like the spikes though. No matter
what I tried, the SL600s were a lot more stable without the spikes, so
I took them off...
So in short... the Monitor Audio RX2s are perfect! (for me at least
)
