Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

It all started with a hard disappointment on the first day, with Pioneer 4Om speakers, up to a volume of 15 everything is ok, but then, hard going into the bass, and a sharp loss of sound quality. After warming up to 20, for 30 days for 8-9 hours, the situation changed dramatically. The first noticeable changes in 10-12 days, but even better - in a month. The sound acquired purity and transparency, with excellent bass pressure. But. Not all columns suit him. The samples were with Monitor Bronze2 - good, but not perfect, even in BiAmping. Oberon1- good, but the sound is too warm. Acoustic guitar only. Oberon3 - bust with bass. Triangle 2- not low volume ok, but after 30 everything mixes up. From what I tried, the best result on warmed up Focal Chora 806. Although they are without B-Amping, the sound is incredible in purity. And Bas. It is simply penetrating on Chora, and the middle and top create the illusion of complete immersion. But I compared it not only with different columns. Having chosen the ideal sound, he compared it with the Yamaha RN402, which he easily surpassed in terms of clarity and volume of the stage. But Pioneer VSX AX3 turned out to be somewhat brighter, stronger. But there is a completely different class. The price is quite high, but this is a spectacular all-rounder that will memorize better stereo for 40. But remember, the carriage turns into a pumpkin after the volume is 55-60. Maybe Demand11, the Grand Master's last joke, tuned by Him specifically for 612 will sound even better, but I'm not ready to pay 120 for speakers that cost 60 in the States just yet. Who will try it with Demand11 or 9, write your opinion. Maybe they will surpass the 806 Hora. Maybe also Boston A series, as advised by the Master, but did not try. Choose the right speakers for it!

Pros
  • After warming up, a long warm-up, and careful selection of speakers, incredibly clear, surround sound. Multifunctionality. WiFi stability. And Biamping.
Cons
  • Warm up for a long time. Not all acoustics will sound with it. Without a remote, you can't switch from one Bluetooth source to another. Plastic case.
