where can I see/audition these speakers?
prices are per pair, right.

Monitor Audio seems to have better reputation of reviews everywhere

Forget about the reviews, when you buy speakers, you buy the one suit your taste, not the one have best review.

i am also a Monitor Audio Owner.....currently Own MONITOR AUDIO BR2 powered by Marantz PM7001 K.I....i love it..

Well at that price, depends on your taste, if u want laid back and yet wide soundstage, give an audition to AAD silver reference 1. Make sure you listen to the Reference series (not the C-series).

It comes with Piano finish. place Acoustic Lim at Amcorp mall.

the sifu has spoken. aad silver is a very good speaker. at first i want to get epos m12.1 but chua racun me to get aad.
back to topic...flip the coin...head= ms , tail= ma. sinece you like both and price is almost same.
btw if you plan for home theater just go for ma carnival 6 for front speaker for less than 1k.
better spend the money for dedicated hi i system.
my 2 rupee.

i will play 60% for music , 40% for movie

emm... didn't listen to Monitor Audio Rs6 before but for the mordaunt shor mezzo 6 it provide a smooth and musical music. For the price RM3,500 which shop do you get it?

the meezo cabinet is curved one...is seen to reduced to standing wave... is it really important?...btw.. if ma rs6, will colour will ur guy choose?

color depends on the deco of your house/av-room... for me, i'm going for cool minimalist look so it has to be glossy piano black... none of the speakers u chose has that so.... i'd just go for the black ?

sorry,cant tell which shop...cause i will kena f**K by my friend..really sorry guy..it friendship price

there is no piano black colour in this 2 series.... rosenut cum? o walnut cum? o other cum?

i guess mr. lim from accoustics solution

me also like you before: 60% music and 40% movie.
people say marantz avr is good for music.no need dedicated set up for hifi.
but i was very wrong amigo.
again your money rite? so just go for ma laa.
right now i'm still in india.otherwise you can come to my house to listen to my hi fi and home theater set up for music.
let us know your budget and we will prepare some poison for you

how do u like these .. ??

http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2007/...o_speakers.html

u own it? can audit ? what the price ha?

ya i have these paired with my onkyo 875... sure u can audit but i'm in a small little town called penang

do u like the outlook?

price ah? I bought the whole 5.1 set for RM13k++ I guess the 507 fronts r about RM5k or something like that... I bought it from S'pore but u can check with Hi-way laser in PJ.

how the sound? good for music o movie?

u using ma rs6 also? couple with what amp? if i couple with my onkyo 875...the high is it will br too high?

i use them 45% movies, 45% gaming (PS3) & 10% music..... i can say they sound absolutely fantastic for movies & gaming, & but they only sound good for music with the onkyo 875. They sounded fantastic when i auditioned the speakers with moon CD player & power amps.

Added on August 25, 2008, 11:01 ammore poison for u splee.... MA RS6 freq response from 38hz to 30khz whereas these canton chrono 507 is 25hz to 40khz. go figure..

i not really trust the spec give from manufacture...sorry!...btw..thank for ur help!

ok... just doing my best to poison only go audition these at hiway laser if u have time la... cheers.

good job on narrowing down your speaker choices to these two... since they both sound good to u & price is similar, then to me the choice is simple.. just go for the speakers that look good to u or fits ur home deco more. cheers

Did you guys even read the first post, he already audit the speaker, and narrowed to those two. He likes both, so now he's asking our opinions to choose.  

So it's not about how it sounds anymore. Now he has to consider about the look, color, specs, warranty, brand reputations, etc. Let's give your input (or poison).

That thing weighs 23.3 kg bro. My respect for your dedication.

Tonite will bring my onkyo 875 to audit mordaunt short mezzo 6 again...

maybe around 8K minmum i guess. ask htkaki .

When John Atkinson suggested that I review the Monitor Audio Silver RS6, I never expected the level of realism I ended up hearing from this loudspeaker. There's nothing much more I can say—the flawless and exceptional Silver RS6 gave me more listening pleasure than any other loudspeaker I have reviewed for Stereophile. In my more than 20 years of reviewing, I have not reviewed an audio component that produced greater sound quality per dollar than Monitor Audio's Silver RS6.

I listened to MA RS6's at the Northern Hifi Show 06 held at Manchester airport here in the UK. They were running a 5.1 setup off of Chord's new media server and a 5 channel Chord amp, all the source and amplification components summed together cost several times the price of the speakers. However, this is fairly common practice for dealers and manufacturers when demoing equipment.

I must say that I thought that it was once of the best sounding systems of the show. In comparison, the range topping B&W N801 system was coloured, althought I'm almost sure that was a side effect of the room and very poor setup.

wah seems like MA wins over MS. er.. sorry guys, any idea how much does that RS6AV complete system cost?

much to learn have you dooku

Meezo looks so sexy like B&W 700 series.

Anyway, off topic. How much you guys get the Onkyo 875? Currently own NAD T763 and cascade to Marantz PM7001KI for back surround channel. Wish to invest in Blu-ray but need to upgrade amp (due to DTS-HD format).

There was a sale last couple of weeks, straight from Onkyo factory. I think this guy has one more unit left:

EDIT: Looks like you already found the thread. And no more 875, hope there will be second batch.
