[mLn]Kiri-Jolith's 2.1 micro-system with class. System
Last Update: August 13, 2002 at 18:11:15 IP Address: 202.138.10.103
Amplifier: -
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): -
Speakers: Yamaha YST-M8 Active Speakers (5W+5W RMS into 4 ohms at 1kHz, 6.5cm full range drivers). Yamaha YST-MSW8 Active Subwoofer (15W RMS into 4 ohms at THD=10%, 12cm driver, forward firing bass reflex design).
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Marantz CD-50 using onboard DAC and analogue RCA outputs (1994 model).
Turntable/Phono Stage: -
Other Source(s): PC Soundcard.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: Harmony single RCA-RCA plug - 2m lead. Harmony 3.5mm plug to stereo RCA plugs - 2m lead. Both use high-grade OFC cable and gold-plated, teflon shielded connectors.
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): Low level power surge and spike protection.
Tweaks: Reworking of the solder joints in the Harmony leads to improve signal transfer.
Room Size (LxWxH): 5m x 5m x 3.5m
Room Comments/Treatments: Too small and the untreated plasterboard walls cause low frequencies to lose definition.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Wholly eclectic tastes.
System Goals/Comments: Has a comfortable sound, but I'd like to improve the DAC quality. Love the sound of the new Bose Acoustimass 2.1 system as well, but it's expensive.
System Strengths: Intense mid-range clarity and tight (if not deep) bottom end. Low power consumption.
System Weaknesses: Average HF response due to the lack of a dedicated tweeter. Can be excessive port noise from the subwoofer at high volume levels.
Video/HT System: None
