Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $362.00

Summary:
I have a full set of phantoms on my 7.2 home theater. I am very happy with the full sound and the crisp but not tinny highs. I would reccomend these speakers to anyone. I have 4 8.2's as my front and surround, the 6.2's as my rear and a 252c for my center. I am using an earthquake sub. Oh and by the way I don't know about you but I wouldn't listen to a guy who cant even spell the name of the country he lives in (Afrika..)

Strengths:
Extremly accurate highs without being tinny. Can be installed anywhere. Looks. Bi-ampable.

Weaknesses:
Needs better binding post's. Keep comming loose.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $362.00 from SimplyCheap.com

Summary:
This review is for the Acoustic Research phantom 6.2 speaker system. I have had these speakers for about one week and am very impressed. It took about that long to break the speakers in. At first they sounded sort of hollow, shallow, and without life. However after about a week of continuous use the sound started to jell. I was able to hear inner detail in the music that I had only heard before through headphones. True, the speaker system does not go down very low in frequency however with the assistance of a good subwoofer such as the Paradigm PDR 10, the sound stage is now complete. This is definitely a speaker system that I can live with and I fully intend to. This system replaces the B&W DM303 which is a great system on its own and will now go into my bedroom for late-night listening. My only regret is that I did not purchase the matching center channel speaker. I am hoping that my financial situation will improve to the point where I will be able to afford to do so before they are no longer available. In the meantime I am using the Polk Audio CS 300 center channel speaker that is doing a fine job reproducing dialogue in this surround sound situation. On a final note I've purchased the system from SimplyCheap.com for $362 shipped including stands. Those who were familiar with this system will immediately realize that this is a great value. I am not sure how long they will have them so don't waste time, get them while you can.

Strengths:
Great Looks Great Sound

Weaknesses:
Need Time For Sound To "Jell"

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.
