Simply amazing.
I had bought the system some time ago but couldn’t install the system due to the stupid rains. But now that the skies are clear and the sun is up, I couldn’t wait any longer. I came home from college and even though I thought I’d install them after I come back from the basketball match, I couldn’t resist.
The installation of the four satellites, centre speaker, subwoofer and control centre took me about 10 minutes. God these things are huge! The speakers stand about 9 inches tall while the control centre stands about 11 inches from the table. And I don’t think I want to mention the subwoofer. The pictures on the net don’t do any justice to the size of the sub.
After plugging it in, I powered it up and clicked on Coldplay’s Speed of Sound. But it didn’t quite click at first. The sound settings on this system are quite a lot and to understand them is quite intimidating. And to add to that the whole array of settings that the Audigy 2 ZS offers. And to add to that, Rahul played some horrible music while we were having lunch. I mean, who would go and play Puddle of Mudd’s Control on a new system?
Anyway, I have finally gotten the settings right (I think) and the system sounds beautiful. The Bass is exceptional and the satellites do good justice to the mids as well as the highs, even though it is just one 3 inch driver for each of them. I haven’t yet throttled the large silver volume knob, it is still on the second bar and it has a long way to go. Might blast it on Sunday though when mom is not around.
The control centre is simply amazing. It offers all the needed settings in an easy to use system. There is a huge knob for volume control, looks amazing.
One more important thing is the wireless remote which comes along. A nice addition to the setup cause it was a hassle earlier where one had to run quickly to the table to adjust the volume when there are loud parts in a movie…
One thing I didn’t like about it is the fact that they didn’t bundle along the digital Coax and Optical cables, don’t know if they improve sound quality to that degree, but I’m just saying…
Just want to say that it sounds amazing and is a must buy if one has the money.
