So, for those already got the Speedy version and not satisfied with it....will you double dip???

Anfieldude said they are some scene in I, Robot generate very good LFE, the car chase scene ... gonna try it again.....

Those of you with good sub should really go to test out BlueMan Group "Audio" DVD-A (Playable using normal DVD Player)

in dts 5.1, feel the LFE pressure and the drum beats...wonderful sound....

no problem pinjam to BIG taukeh

seen T4 liao...just some other arrange with htTAUKEH

htTAUKEH loan me the MSC-01
which is a blardy GIANT center
The 1st word my wife saw it and she said:"What a BIG BIG potato!! Don't you ever dream of buying that and put in the living room!!"
There goes my intention of owning it

A simply 1st time review as compared to my Axiom VP150

Appearance
HUGH!!! it's even larger than my Emotiva XPA-3!! and weight 17kgs!!
the height of the speakers blocked slightly like 1cm of my TV which is 9" from the table
The reflection of the Piano finished is a turn off as it reflected everything from my screen...

Setup
Simple enough, just unplug my the Vp150 and plug in my Kimble Kable with dual spring banana plug and there it goes....but 1st need to "hug" the thing from the box to the table lar

The sound
Ok, the most important part.
processed by marantz SR6003 and powered by Emotiva XPA-3, since the unit had been run in at TAUKEH's place, I just crank it up.
Tonal balance are blend nicely with my Axiom M60 main. Did not run any calibration, just pop in "Celine Dion: Live in Vegas" and select the song I Am Alive.....immediately notice the clarity and more dynamic mid range as compared with the VP150

Then, I put in Storm Warrior II, the opening scene with dts-ma 7.1 selected, when "Mou Meng" engage "Man Kiem Kuai Zhong", the sound were terrific, can literally felt the swords are flying around you, and with the MSC-01, the knocking sound of the flying swords and more realistic than the VP150, and the dialog from "Chiit Mou San" also clearer even he spoke very softly and less muffle like in VP150

after that, pop in "AFQ Live" concert.....in dts-ma 5.1, I felt a more vibrant guitar sound and notice improvement on small details from the larger woofer (6.5" vs 5.25" of the VP150) and 2 big bass port at the back. Those size really helps bring out the sound of the concert.....

The thing cost RM3k++ vs the VP150 at RM2.1k (incl tax), worth it?
Yes if you have a big room, but on a smaller room, unless u wanna play really loud, the 33% more money you pay might not be able to be fully utilised.

Just my take.....

Good price....if o9nly SB16 can be on that price

wow, Logit, you finally found you PB13U you tube audition ar, good good

Amazon US is selling the Velodyne SMS-1 (Room correction/bass management like SVS EQ-1) for only $399.....
