I purchased this last year for an amazing price of $250. Son’ys web site at the time listed this as $1499 RRP.<\/p>\n
On to the review…<\/p>\n
The most impressive part of the set up would have to be the sub woofer, and probably worth the $250 alone. When set correctly (ie. both dials set to a little over half), the bass complements the sound well, and does not feel boomy or overdone. It gives a nice and very rumbly feeling esp in action scenes esp. where there are helicopters (think Die Hard!)<\/p>\n
The two back speakers are not overly powerful, though I don’t think they’re intended to be that way. It’s impressive to hear bullets flying from the back speakers, and this is probably where I value these speakers the most. With the savs-350h, there is the option of joining 4 speakers into 2 which gives you a slighly more powerful 5.1 sound. My opinion is that 7.1 is a bit of a wank, and not many discs seem to support it, so I decided not to bother with it. It has the benefit of making the back speaker a tiny bit stronger in output.<\/p>\n
Front speakers are good, have a nice range and are quite attractive asthetically.\u00c2\u00a0 I like how the speaker component is raised by about 50cm from the floor so that most of the sound is directed at head level.<\/p>\n
Centre speaker works well though it too seems to be not as powerful as the L+R, which is probably by design. They give good volume, more than you’ll probably need though I’m sure with higher end speakers could be driven harder.<\/p>\n
I’ve coupled this with the Yamaha RXV-667 amp which is very nice!\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of sound programs to experiment with. I’ve found that 7 channel stereo actually works really well with music. Otherwise Standard, Sci Fi and Spectacular are the ones I use the most for movies.<\/p>\n
All in all a really good set of speakers, fantastic value for money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
