Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $445.00 from High Fidelity

Summary:
I just got this speaker, along with the rest of the speaker ensemble. The sound out of this speaker as a center channel is great (considering the price). I previewed speakers ranging from a $600 6-speaker set from Polk to a $38,000 collection from Mark Levenson. Although the $10+ market did provide superior sound, for $1700, the Teatro 4.5s (front), 6.5 (center), CI40s (rear), and Power10 (sub) provide the most bang for buck. I rented IceAge the first night, and the audio was phenominal. A very close (if not identical) product is the Infinity Modulus. The Infinitys, however, were vetoed by the wife as the rears were not recessed into the wall.

Strengths:
crisp clear vocals, relatively compact size considering other center channels on the market, it is possible to buy just one to add to an existing system as a center channel

Weaknesses:
depth of bass is not too impressive but that's not the intent of the speaker; only comes in black or cherry (our decor is maple)

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $190.00 from Stereo Trading Center

Summary:
I bought this center on the strength of a shoot-out style review in Home Theater mag. It came out on. I had an NHT SuperCenter which was OK but I wanted something with a big larger sound. This Teatro 6.5(the picture shown on this review page as of 12/1/01 is not correct) has more warmth and works well in my Frankenstein's monster mix and match system, especially with my Wharfedale MFM main speakers. While I'm sure there's better centers, I bet you would have to spend quite a bit more $ to get a noticeably better sound.

Strengths:
Solid build and great sound

Weaknesses:
Grill doesn't win any awards

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

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.
