Home theater

[garlic]

Hi, looking for speakers, wanna ask what home theater speakers bros here using. Personally prefer satellite speakers which do not take up much space and looks sleek.

I'm using Canton Movie speakers 125 MX..

The speakers are small, the sound quality surprisingly very good with good booming bass and clear treble..

No regrets at all for me when I bought it 2nd hand from another audio enthusiast few months back..

There other good brands which produced satellite speakers.. You can check out brands like KEF and Mission..

 

[insignia]

Go for Bang & Olufsen if you can afford the high price.

Absolute premium design and sound quality; if you are an audiophile and someone who cares about aesthetics, you can't go wrong with B&O

wah bro insignia, you have fine tastes.. my budget not that high lah.. canton, mirage, infinity all with pretty good specs. Bose price also very high.. but dont know worth it?

what kind of budget you looking at ?


you using this to listen to music also ?

B & O i never tried before, the price tag scare me off already. This U.S. brand www.orbaudio.com.sg looks sleek.. , comes with good reviews too. Anyone used before? I remember cambridge soundworks partnered or was bought by creative, this brand still around? They sounded good when i bought them for pc gaming when playing quake 3 donkey years ago.

I more of movies person not so much music. Actually, the only time i listen to music is when in car or when in front of pc..

Aiyah, BRO GIMD.. why so harsh on Insignia? To some, speakers must look good to complement with furnishings while to others, sound quality most impt. You sound like an audiophile, mind sharing what equipment you using?

Onkyo TX-NR609

You're right, B & O introduced sleek looking TV and audio systems way back in the 90's.

Bought two units of their TVs and sound system from their outlet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in 1993.

Am now using Onkyo amplifier & American speakers and 55" & 60" Samsung 3D smart TVs..

expensive does not always mean quality. especially if you are buying the lower or middle range of an expensive brand.

also for hi fi, choose something that you like listening to, and not base on review.

The speakers are small, the sound quality surprisingly very good with good booming bass and clear treble..

If the bass is booming, it can't be good.

what boss sam using then? For me, tower speakers are no-go. Nowadays, living room too small, makes no sense to put tower speakers to occupy space. Mounting satellites only.. of course there would be trade-offs for weaker mid range, but for watching movies i guess should be all right?

I have a 20 year old Rel Storm. Bass shouldn't boom. It should be rich and subtle.

tell us, Boss Leong, is there anything in this universe that immediately you can say you don't know

those 2 brands i recommend you have the best midrange-bass integration with the subwoofer................

but since you are movie-oriented................not so bad lah.....................

I remember in those "old" days you could only find quality Hi Fi gear from the UK & US.

Unlike today where you have plenty of cheaper Hi Fi gear from China, Korea, etc.

Yes KEF speakers with Uni-Q drivers would be a good choice providing phase synchronised response across the spectrum.
