Hi, After diching BW 600's because space. I was looking for Sat /Sub system, budget 500 -1000E euros.
I've demoed Kef 2005.2, Infinity Alpha, Infinity HCS ii, BW VM1 and JM Labs sib cub.
The final showdown has been between, VM1 and sib cub. The VM1 was more aggresive but much more les detailed. On a clasical piece you were not able to identify all the instruments, while the sib/cub defined clearly all the orchestra. And on films, as well the details, were again clearly defined.
I've to say that the best package is the JM Labs sib cub, the detail and definition beats the rest (to my ears, at least). I've got a good deal at 900 Euros (642 Pounds).
Perhaps, the only two faults are a lack off "deep bass" due to the
small 8" driver, and a lack of upper mid range detail (hence the lack of agressive sound)...
My only concern, even if I have close the deal, is that as per this test
http://www.focal.tm.fr/bancs/export/jmlab/sibcub/gam_11.pdf
There is a gap on the end of the band, at around 12K ..
- Any coment on that ?
- Any comment, either negative or positive abt those speakers ?
