neuty Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Stumbled over this looking for a new home cinema kit for my father-in-law. http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb131/n...eater-syste.jpg http://www.techfresh.net/gadgets/misc-gadg...theater-system/ Seems it can accept LPCM 5.1 audio so good for PS3 and the like that decode HD audio onboard. Any thoughts costs about £350 (uk pounds) neuty Edited June 15, 2008 by neuty
Andre281503560612 Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I am happy to pass judgment on these without hearing them first. I declare them to be no good as they are simply too small. They will sound tinny. That is all.

Any thoughts costs about £350 (uk pounds) neuty ahh...it would be great if you're really small * for me home cinema is meant to go someway to re-creating an actual cinema and that won't come close. Headphones would be better *no offence to small people intended
neuty Posted June 15, 2008 Author Posted June 15, 2008 I have heard the same kit with a combined dvd player ,and to be honest it wasn't bad for its size. True i wouldn't want this as maybe like yourself prefer a seperates system. This for some maybe the perfect and only option they have for home cinema .Very small rooms or a partner who don't want big boxes about . cheers neuty
Andre281503560612 Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I think though there are other options which would be acceptably small yet sound better. The orb speakers perhaps?
neuty Posted June 15, 2008 Author Posted June 15, 2008 The Orb speakers are definatly worth a look for him. My problem is he asks me to advise him and at 63 he is a bit of a stuck in the mud type,so convincing him is not that easy. He will go and change his mind like the weather so at the moment i'm browsing for him . How do the Orb's compare on price ,as at the price of the Sony which includes all amplification and speakers aint that bad for a simple system. I am still looking around as well for other systems. http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.act...ma+Surround+Kit This is another i've looked at neuty
Jeditempledropout Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Smaller speakers will never sound as good as larger ones no matter who they are made by and what they cost. Simple physics says that they just can't move as much air. If you want a hidden system you are much better off going with wall / ceiling mount plates. Systems like this are made to be sold to the mass public as gimmicks. I haven't heard them but have listened to enough small speakers (some by very high end manufacturers) to know.
