Best Acoustics Kits 7.1
KLIPSCH R-62 II set 7.1 - for spacious rooms
This kit is designed for use in very large rooms of 25 squares or more. Otherwise, the sound will just put pressure on the ears - too much of it. The set includes paired floor and shelf columns, plus a couple of "corner" systems with multidirectional speakers. Center channel and subwoofer attached.
Pros:
- Detailed sound with a clear frequency division;
- With the correct placement, the speakers give an impeccable three-dimensional picture;
- Cases of wood and MDF columns ensure clear sound without rattling;
- Wide frequency range up to 24 kHz;
- The dual phase inverter of the central channel provides a louder sound (this is especially well heard when dubbing speech);
- Good volume margin and increased sensitivity of horn speakers.
Minuses:
- Buying a set will result in at least 250 thousand rubles;
- We'll have to spend extra on the cable - it's not included.
DALI Opticon 6 set + Sub E-12F - for true audiophiles
Another megacomplect, which will appeal to both avid moviegoers and audiophiles. Floor, shelf and low-profile wall speakers, as well as the central channel and sub, come with contrasting speakers - the whole set looks great with and without fabric grills. The beauty of this system is that the wall speakers can be used as front speakers, rear speakers, or even as separate stereo equipment.
Pros:
- Thick-walled shells made of MDF, excluding the appearance of resonance;
- Mad frequency range reaching 32 kHz;
- Assertive and deep subwoofer bass, adjustable from 40 to 120 Hz;
- Lack of parasitic vibrations - for the production of diffusers, almost classical material reinforced with wood fibers is used here;
- Very clean top without "sand" - all thanks to ribbon tweeters;
- Tightly stuffed center channel with midrange / woofer speaker, phase inverters and own pair of tweeters;
- Ability to connect using Bi-wire and Bi-amp.
Minuses:
- The price of the kit can reach up to 300 thousand rubles.
Top 5.1 kits (with active subwoofer)
BOSE Acoustimass 10 Series V - the most lively sound
A continuation of the favorite movie and music lovers of the line - the Bose fifth-generation acoustics kit pleases with a chic sound with relatively small dimensions of the speakers themselves. The front and rear speakers here are no different from each other in appearance, so the room will look harmonious. The central channel is also small, so the placement problem will affect only the bass machine.
Pros:
- Special DRS playback technology provides “live” surround sound;
- Perfectly balanced frequency response;
- Chic adjustable bass;
- Even at maximum volume, the sound quality is not reduced, and does not press on the ears;
- Included are all the necessary cables - for ease of connection, they are already marked, so there should be no problems;
- The whole system is compact and does not take up much space.
Minuses:
- To unleash all the features of these speakers, you need a good AV-processor, a simple receiver does not do here.
CABASSE Eole 4 System 5.1 - a compact system for DC
A set with spherical speakers will be an excellent addition to the home theater.The Eole series has been in production for more than a year, but in the fourth generation, the manufacturers replaced the sub and conjured a little over the coasters so that you can get the perfect sound image. The satellites remained the same - in 13-cm spheres, the midrange speakers and high-frequency tweeters are hidden.
Pros:
- Clear, realistic sound due to the correct tonal balance - without frequency skew;
- Surround sound can be obtained in 2.1 mode, but for this you will have to experiment with the position of the subwoofer relative to the satellites;
- The “thinner” case of the subwoofer - now its dimensions do not exceed 39x39x15 cm, and the weight has decreased to 9 kg;
- The speakers are mounted on magnets, which allows them to rotate freely on stands in any direction;
- Ability to install a subwoofer close to the wall.
Minuses:
- For the sake of compactness, the subwoofer had to sacrifice its power, reducing it almost by half.
The best semi-sets without sab 5.0
WHARFEDALE Crystal 4 - the best sound for little money
Inexpensive, but high-quality acoustic set of 4 passive speakers and a central channel without a subwoofer is ready to offer the best for your money. The manufacturer did not save on significant details, giving small things under the saving knife like finishing the case or terminals. All speakers have approximately the same sensitivity of 86-89 dB and operate in the frequency range 50-20000 Hz.
Pros:
- Detailed traced upper and middle frequencies - very clear sound;
- Excellent bass - at least, for watching movies they will be enough even without a subwoofer;
- Good sound image in stereo mode;
- Kevlar midrange diffusers are a rarity in this price range;
- Everywhere there are universal terminals, which simplifies the connection of the system and expands the possibilities of combining speakers;
- Low cost within 40 thousand rubles.
Minuses:
- Lack of communications included;
- In all columns, phase inverters go to the back side of the enclosures, which can cause problems with their placement close to the walls.
JAMO S 809 HCS - expandable system
A set of large floor and shelf columns is the eldest in its lineup. It is sold in several versions. The manufacturer offers to choose not only the color of the enclosures (white, black or walnut texture), but also to determine whether you need a sub. In principle, it is quite possible to do without it by taking a set of 5.0, because the woofers with a bass reflex are already built into the floor speakers.
Pros:
- Sharp, assertive, but extremely legible sound at all frequencies;
- Support for Dolby Atmos technology, with which the kit can be turned into a system of 7.0;
- The total power of 420 W makes it possible to use the kit in spacious rooms of up to 35 m2;
- Dome tweeters increase the upper frequency range to 26 kHz;
- Frontal phase inverter so that the speakers can be placed close to the wall.
Minuses:
- Dolby Atmos top speakers need to be purchased separately.
Best Stereo 2.1
YAMAHA MusicCast BAR 400 - "flat" system with surround sound
The new format of sets 2.1, where instead of separate columns the soundbar is used, is much more convenient and fits better into modern interiors. BAR 400 set includes a separate subwoofer and a narrow panel, inside which are placed the main speakers: a pair of high-frequency and two pairs of MF / LF. The main feature of this system is the ability to play content from any source (TV, smartphone, NAS, streaming audio, etc.).
Pros:
- Ability to work via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and via AirPlay;
- Support for DTS Virtual-X technology, thanks to which the minimal stereo set can recreate the effect of three-dimensional sound;
- As a result of sound processing, even in an overloaded action, human speech is brought to the fore and becomes easily distinguishable;
- Subwoofer wireless connection;
- If desired, the kit can be expanded with additional rear speakers, but they will have to be bought separately;
- The MusicCast function will allow you to create your multiroom system;
- Convenient control of the kit and the peripherals connected to it through the application in the smartphone.
Minuses:
- Lack of remote control.
POLK AUDIO MagniFi Mini - very loud baby
Looking at the compact audio panel with a slightly larger subwoofer in the kit, it is impossible to believe how loud and bass this pair is capable of playing. Nevertheless, it shakes as it should, but due to its small size and wireless connection, it is ideal for small apartments. Included with the acoustics is a remote control and basic switching.
Pros:
- Support for Google Cast plugin;
- It plays very loudly, despite its compact size, producing also a powerful, tight bass;
- Ability to connect to the network via Ethernet and Wi-Fi, plus a connection to other gadgets via Bluetooth;
- Wireless subwoofer;
- There is a “night mode” in which the voices of the actors are heard more clearly;
- From the remote you can adjust the volume of the sound from the speakers and the subwoofer separately, and at the same time bring to the foreground or mute the voice;
- Extremely simple installation and connection.
Minuses:
- There is a little lack of MF - this is well heard in classical compositions with vocals;
- The emitter and phase inverter on the saba look at the floor, for which the neighbors below you will be particularly "grateful."
