Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $799.00 from Crutchfield

Summary:
This system Rocks for theater listening. It comes with a 12 in the sub box. Hard to find a system with this in this price range. This system is clear. I previously had Cerwin Vega LS-12's a LS-6C center and Bose 201 on the rears. This system sounds much nicer than the old setup. Could have been due to the mix and match Vega/Bose. Great for movies, don't use it much for straight music. I turn back to the Cerwin-Vegas or Bose. It seems that you have to adjust the sub on the RM20's when wanting to listen to music, compared to movie setting, so I just use for movies. Sounds good with music, but I would recommend using another set of speakers for music.

Strengths:
solid clear sound. The sub will blow the room away. If you want to feel the movie and shake the house get this setup.

Weaknesses:
The light fixtures on the theater room walls shake when turned up. Prepare to secure any rattles.

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.....

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.
