PRO 350

These 250W
babies have more kick than a mule! For me, I have to have bass cones
of 25cm and horn tweeters. It's the sound I've got used to. Horn
tweeters project guitar from Pink Floyd's Pulse Live album around the
room majestically. Bass has to be deep and rumbly. Some may think
this type of speaker doesn't go with a home cinema system. Perhaps
they don't, but don't forget that stereo sound is my first point of
call. They don't actually cause me any problem when the digital gets going.

Sounds
These
are the top end of Sony's Centre and Rear package. I originally had
the 190's and find the tweeters on these a bit sharper. I may in time
change the centre, as in Prologic it sounds a bit boxy. They work
well with surround and as my receiver is 100W their minimum 120W
makes them an ideal fit. I've set the receiver to 'small' for these,
as they cannot adequately produce bass.

Electrical Direct
This 175W
subwoofer with a 25cm bass cone working alongside the 250W front
speakers hardly needs to be turned up. The remote comes in handy for
easy fine-tuning for various modes. I wouldn't have got a sub but
because of the Technics Receiver I needed more bass for surround. How
do you describe the sound on a subwoofer? Well erm, bassey! Pay for
the neighbours to go on holiday and crank it up and let the floor rumble!
