Z906 as Ausgansbasis for a high-end system

First of all: the sound quality of any audio system is determined to be an above-average share of the speakers, and since the same again from the lineup. What good are the best speakers to an unfavorable position for the sound? Since most rooms are not acoustically optimal, you should actually quite close to sitting in the pits. This has the advantage of being more than the boxes hear the effect that caused the room. For example, a distance from right to left box of 1m is quite enough, at a distance of the head of about 1m30 of the boxes. The interesting thing is that the localization of the performance will suffer in any way. One can thus 4 meters from the TV screen or wegsitzen and will set the tone perceive precisely because of coming, even if the speakers are tuned to a 3 feet closer than the picture. The same is true when listening to music: the boxes standing next to a, the music comes from a supposedly big stage a few meters away from the listening position. However, this has to do with the quality of the recording and the quality of the speakers and electronics.
The advantage of a system with small satellite speakers is that they can be much easier to position itself well as a floor-standing speakers or even bookshelf speakers, because they can be placed discreetly in the general right to a decent stand at a good convenient location. On top of that have small speakers the advantage that they hardly affect the sound in its radiation. This is known as point-shaped sound source.
And so I want to look at the Z906 from this point:
This system is in fact suited for expansion in a system of almost any quality!
That it is worth the money, no longer needs to be mentioned. But on the other hand boxes for an estimated 30 euros not produce the best sound, is probably just as understandable .. (5x30 = 150 plus an estimated 150 Subwoofer incl. Electronics = 300)
One is to look at films but quite adequate treatment. However, listening to music these simple Plastikböxchen are simply no longer good enough.
But nothing could be simpler to replace them with better, if the need arises and the budget permitting. Because the subwoofer is of significantly higher quality than the boxes, and what's even better, the electronics which is supplied to the subwoofer and the speakers even quite outstanding and that might be due to the THX specifications. The amplifiers provide the signals with such ease and quality of the speakers that it is a pleasure. Since you can hang what you want: the amplifier is always good enough. And that's extremely much.
So I have first the front satellites replaced by ELAC 301.2 (XL). After the Center. I've actually even replaced by another pair, thus I stand around any box in the center, but only a double pair left and right. One would for these inventories so close to the listening position to refrain entirely on the center pit, but which makes the system not because it can not be configured to 4.1. However, listening to music (in stereo) are relevant only the front satellites, and so can the Center quite keep original, or by something much more favorable example of the ELAC Cinema series replace.
I did that at the rear satellites so. Since I had to stand around even from an old plant small ELAC. But as you may well keep the original boxes without much happening.
So one expects the 500 euros for the ELAC satellites to obtain a sound which is to be described as good and right is now limited only by the quality of the subwoofer, which, as mentioned, considerably better than the original for any 800 Euro satellite, but satellite 301 but then drops slightly when used with the ELAC. This has caused me after a while to me to build a better subwoofer itself: Larger volume, better chassis and a more stable Konstruktion.Alles no HexereiDa is one case with no 200 Euro material costs, and the whole thing is to do well in an afternoon, if you do not have the ambition to construct him as a foot for the favorite armchair. This is from design to technical reasons not a right angle to it, and that was already pretty hairy. But: so the subwoofer is visually in a sense no longer exists, and you can feel the bass also because all the vibration of the subwoofer can not be avoided, and the air flowing to the left and right of the bass reflex tubes on the legs, also has a nice effect.
In the rear panel of the subwoofer I have inserted the electronics of the Z906 and, apart from work, I now have a system makes music for almost 1000 euros, that it is a pure joy. I submit you get for 5000 and more Euro anything better.
