QUOTE(ktek @ Jan 5 2015, 11:59 PM) how big is ur tv? and ur seating front distance? want to take account these 2 points. my tv will be 48" and I will be seating 10 feet away.At the moment I am planning to place speakers on my tv cabinet. How far ideally should encore be placed away from the wall ? QUOTE(fx20) The encore give you ample bass provided if you have space for it to breath. Pls dont expect to produce 20hz bass lah I don't expect that. I have been living with Aego M + ibasso. Nice bass that is non boomy. Now just need a rig at the tv. If can have the same level of bass then it would be awesome.QUOTE(vivakarna) it does provide a quality bass. Maybe I can record the sound of it today and upload here so you can know in general about the performance. That would be awesome  |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Jan 6 2015, 02:12 PM) You need at least 1 foot clearance from the wall. The best listening distance is around 1.5-4.0 from the speaker, toe in. Although Encore has really good off-axis response, the best placement is still triangle toe-in. you can place the Encore to both side of the TV and make sure the tweeter level is the same at your listening level when you on the seat.

QUOTE(fx20 @ Jan 7 2015, 12:36 PM) At the moment, only ash black/matte black. Other finishes you need to add in at least RM300. I got a limited piano black/white. If you want, I can spare 1 pair for you. Thanks for the tip. I am a beginner who is trying to move from active speakers.Friend, we are very transparent on price, no hidden cost. We don't do interconnects. If you want a good value ones, I strongly recommend you www.monoprice.com. What gauge of speaker cables do you recommend to use with Encore ? |
