Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $350.00 from K's Merchandise

Summary:
Best Shelf System I've ever heard. All of my friends who hear it are immediately in love and I've only had one problem with it, i blew a speaker once because I have my tv sound and my computer sound ran through it and i was able to push more sound through it, but by doing so, blew it. But it was still under the two year warranty and I got a whole new speaker for free!!! I've had it for 23 months now and still listen to it all the time.

Strengths:
Everything

Weaknesses:
Nothing

Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I picked up this system for christmas casue I wanted a good system that would hit hard in my 8x8 relaxation room, and I have to say, I am extremely satifyed with my purchase. Overall the impact from the bass is massive, but I could have asked for smoother highs and midtones. on a sub $500 system, this is definitly one of the best ive heard.

Strengths:
Incredable amount of bass for the money, tons of impact very nice mids, and highs remain clean with most music at high volume they continue to impress me with the massive impact they have each and every time I listen to them and I have to stress, impact impact impact !

Weaknesses:
with some music, the highs can get a little hard when the volume is 27-max not really noticible with most songs, but a few I noticed the bass would get a little sloppy, but what can you expect with a bandpass setup ?, efficiency thats what! :)

Review 3 of 8

Price Paid:  $349.00 from Sears.com

Summary:
I recently ordered the MX-GT90 off the web after reading several reviews, all of which said the system was excellent. The system puts out floor-rumbling bass and produces clear mids and highs. The unit I ordered has poor speaker construction, which causes the speakers to rattle and buzz when playing bass heavy music.

Strengths:
Extreme bass, clear highs and mids. Full frequency response (20Hz-20Khz).

Weaknesses:
Left speaker rattles when bass hits--due to poor construction. Very large for a shelf system. Clock is useless...gains 5 minutes or so every day.

Review 4 of 8

Price Paid:  $310.00

Summary:
The JVC MX-GT90 is hands down the most extraordinary minisystem on the planet. It gives you very deep bass, crisp sound and an overall remarkable system. The MX-GT90’s stunning design catches people’s attention, and then they are blown away by the incredible vibes. No matter what kind of music you listen to this system delivers the perfect sound. I tested a number of minisystems out and this system provided the most power and best sound for a decent price. No system came close to rattling my entire house and upsetting the whole street as the MX-GT90 did. This system has numerous features including 8 preset sound settings, and 3 manual settings, independent subwoofer volume control and dual giga-tubes. All in all, this system is by far the best minisystem out on the market, and I recommend everyone buys it.

Strengths:
The deepest bass i have ever heard, clear sound no matter what you are listening to. Decent price for the 460 watts of raw power you are getting. You can hear the sound clearly from 100 yards away, no jokes.

Weaknesses:
None

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid:  $304.00 from etronics.com

Summary:
This system is awesome. I just got and was blown away by the power and the air that comes out of the tubes on top of the speakers. It made my floor vibrate, my pictures were rattling, and it was loud. This is one of the best systems I''ve ever bought. I recommend that you all buy one of these.

Strengths:
It has a lot of power to work with, you can connect it to a TV or a reciever, and you can piss of your nieghbors if you want.

Weaknesses:
The only weakness is that it''s kind of large especially for a little apartment that I''ve got but it''s all worth it when you blast it.

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
