As you unpack the boxes, the presentation confirmed in the pictures. The satellites make really good optical head turner. Piano-look up and down, and a metal mesh that almost the entire surface Almond speaker covers.
The boxes are packed properly and are supplied with sufficient cable boxes and a "wall bracket".
Where we are, in my opinion already at the evils of this article.
Installation on plaster surface proved to me to be extremely awkward ... in the meantime I really wanted to just cancel the installation. I really had doubts as to whether the system can hold so ever. In the Gefriemel with the cable and the bracket I finally was scared that I might damage the delicate lattice of speakers during the assembly sometime.
Somehow it was my pride then not to stop and took it into account that I could do the things in the assembly already. With a few tricks these things now hold on the wall and see as if by a miracle of still outstanding.
Could I turn back time, I would buy the feet of the boxes. If you decide not to see on the wall the speakers, it would definitely recommended to mount a flat wooden or aluminum plate on the wall and anschießend to mount the wall bracket to the plate. So be it and a star deduction because of anger when mounting on plaster without notice in the manual.
Then the speakers connected to the amplifier, some settings on the receiver and anschießendes calibration of the new constellation.
For the price / performance ratio, the speakers deliver decent sound. Especially the heights can convince my opinion. The surround effects (Test with Avatar) are well and accurately reproduced. Also in 7.1 stereo mode by RX-V speakers are a perfect extension of my system.
Contrary to some previous reviews I would not recommend for use as a front surround these boxes. Here is missing in my opinion, the pressure on the low notes. The speakers are also thought due to lack of volume is not for use as front speakers I mean.
Due to the good price / performance ratio I can recommend the speaker for the entry-level class with high demands on design.
For high demands in accurate reproduction of medium and low tones speakers are recommended in my opinion, only conditionally.
