It's not supposed to sound boomy. If you have it near a corner of the wall, move it away. You may need to reposition it until you get the right sound

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Mar 16 2013, 08:12 PM) Wait, so you are saying at closer range it doesn't sound as good to you? The reason why you think separation is not as good at nearfield is because of the sheer size of the speaker. It has a very large and overwhelming sound. The M200Mk3 when used nearfield is even more overwhelming which is why we have been stressing not to buy the M200mk3 for nearfield use despite whatever you may read online. so anyway to overcome my problem ???or shoud i upgrade to x3??The X series is the king of nearfield. I have the X3 with me now but X4 is the sweet spot. X6 is too huge, never gotten a chance to listen to it yet. Just a friendly advice, all the X series will see a price hike very soon. |

If your M200MK2 nearfield is too boomy, that means there's too much reflection from the rear wall. You can dampen the rear with sound absorbing panels, or simply stuff the port with some polyfill. This is why we kept recommending people NOT to buy the M200MK3 for nearfield as the bass would be crazy.

Just curious, for the M200 Mark II need to get an amplifier for it or just connect it to PC and can work liao?
One more thing, what's the minimum DAC requirement to drive that speaker nicely...in terms of price p/s: What does it mean by "M200Mk2 - RM 729 (Pair, Active Crossover)" ? Meaning RM729 for 2 speakers or I have to pay RM729X2? This post has been edited by -kytz-: Mar 21 2013, 02:51 AM |
