@user-mi6fb1of7j 3 месяца назад

My pair just arrived and the MB42X G2's are great for 100 and are more laid back open sounding than the rb42 but the mb42x g2's are missing that midrange forwardness and "depth" in vocals that rb42s have especially with a HPF. I’d lean towards the powered swan OS-10's especially if you don't already have an amplifier, its 150 compared to the mb42x g2’s but OS-10's are much louder and a bit "spicier". After trying all 3 the Rb42 are my pick, hope this helped someone. Using a sub and RSL IA255.1 Amp with (90hz HPF). I listen Near field on a "deeper" desk.

@sdecesare 3 месяца назад

I had a hundred bucks to throw away, so I ended up ordering these without expecting a whole hell of lot. They're unreal, especially considering how small they are -- and cheap! Maybe I'm just partial to rear-ported speakers, but if I had to choose between these or the larger, more expensive Elac Debut B6.2s, for example, I'd actually choose these.

Ordered. This video was a perfect recommendation on my homepage. These speakers are the #2 best seller in bookshelf speakers on Amazon for only $100. It’s a steal. This’ll be my first speaker purchase so I bought the Fosi Audio BT20A AMP that’s a #2 best seller on Amazon for $48 (with the current 40% off coupon on Amazon). What an amazing money-saving combo. It’s exactly what I needed. Nearly gave up on quality speakers because they’re quite the investment. Can’t wait!

@ryanchappell5962 3 месяца назад

If you are using a subwoofer, these little speakers have a big advantage with soundstage and imaging. The closer acoustic centers and light weight of the 4 inch driver and the smaller tweeter. The voice coils on these little speakers are probably going to get pretty hot with loud music after a while unless you are doing bass management. So yeah, these little speakers on a receiver with a sub would be a really decent system.

Zeos you should consider reviewing the B&W M1's. After trying many different speakers on my desks, the B&W M1s are by far my favorite. They are all aluminum and have a tiny foot print.

I've got a pair of Polk Audio TSi100's for similar reasons; cheap sleepers that sound good, mainly for listening to classical and 1960-1990 vinyl with a cheap little shitty polk sub that probably belongs in the trash (PSW 10) and they've been amazing. I got probably the last pair of Heco Aurora 300's available in the US, because they were the darling of the budget audio reviewers but was was disappointed and sent them back; I think I prefer an extremely neutral sound.

I'm mostly happy with them but when I got the volume way up and i'm playing a game where a lot of dialog comes out the back channels the little COVO-S can't keep up with my HTD Level 3s front speakers.

I see his videos more as a showcase and his thoughts from an overly generalized perspective. He's good at showing the physical properties of products that some reviewers would barely cover. Due to how frequently he showcases products, I often hear about more unique equipment from him first, which is what I like to see.
