I have not bought this system a center speaker from Magnat (qid = 1402393271 & sr = 8-2 & keywords = center speaker magnat +).
A center is in my opinion essential for this system.
At first a few words about the design:
That was my main reason for a new purchase. My old system, a cheaper China imports, although performed his service reasonably satisfactory, but the design was horrible and no longer fits in the refurbished lounge. Thus have her something new, that's nice to look at. The impression of the pictures here does not disappoint. The plant makes unpacked an even better visual impression. The boxes are piano finish, the bezel of the subs is made of glass and game gelt very strong. I like it very very well.
The connections:
I have long wondered whether I really an A / V receiver and to buy boxes. However, there comes fast on 500 and more and also then there again in the living room, another electrical box rum, which I had no desire.
So I went in search of a finished system, but aussreichend connections provides with reserves for future purchases. I found what I was exactly at a facility.
This one:
3x HDMI (+ 1x output ARC!)
2x Optical Inputs
1x Coax
2x RCA
For the ordinary living room that's more than enough. For me, only the laptop and the Xbox One had to be connected (BD player and satellite receiver I have not).
A note to those who are not familiar soooo good (as I). Mandatory are HDMI cable with min. 1.4er standard!
That is, the HDMI cable that was eventually supplied by the BD player, might not work. You need the correct HDMI cable, otherwise there is a wrong picture / no picture / sound when no TV on. Ordered the HDMI cable to the best right here on Amazon. At Media Markt I must perforce Saturdays an additional cable with 0.75m for 16 !!!! . Buy
For this you get 5 HDMI cables from Amazon.
The sound:
For what I have been accustomed, I am absolutely thrilled. As I said, the comparison with a high-end x-thousand expensive system I can not draw, I do not want too.
The sound is (with the center box) fantastic. The integrated A / V receiver can be set and adjusted to every imaginable kind. Since I'm still not entirely gone after 3 days intensive use.
The plant is so loud, so loud you can not hear at all. At least not in a rented apartment.
For testing purposes, I have the system exactly once full blast for 10 seconds. Has sounded good, but it was so loud that my ears are flown away. Will never again occur (system goes with 80, maximum volume, I can represent to me, is 45)
Toll is (I think anyway)) that the system on the current state of the art. You can do everything, understands everything (Bitstream), everything passes.
For gamers:
I can perceive no input lag! I really three days intensive use behind me (Watch_Dogs, Fifa 14, Forza, Max), and there is no delay.
A purchase that made me really happy.
Absolute buy recommendation!
I think for the money it is difficult to get something equally good
