Simply M-Azing, 9 Nov 2007

Jimbo "Jimbo L" (Manchester) -

This review is from: Acoustic Energy AE26-06B AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system Black (Electronics)

Being the proud owner of a Squeezebox, I spent quite some time choosing a set of speakers to compliment it. After some time searching and browsing various forums and looking at numerous product reviews (including What Hi-Fi who give these five out of five stars and say that they are the best speakers for under £100 you could possibly buy) I knew that they were for me.
Upon receiving them, as others have said, I was pleasantly surprised by the weight and build quality. But, once I had connected them to my Squeezebox, surprise quickly turned to amazement - the sound quality is quite simply stunning. I am now listening to music in a different light, and am kicking myself for not getting these sooner.
The bass from the subwoofer (about the size of a 'normal' speaker) is excellent on setting 1, setting 2 is for serious bass-heads (or people who enjoy annoying neighbours) and setting 3 means you can watch much loved ornaments bouncing themselves to an early grave whilst holding your hands over your ears (although at least you cannot hear the neighbours banging on the wall which is a blessing)!
The treble and mid range are pumped out from tiny speakers (as stated in other reviews not much bigger than a bag of sugar) but what great sound they pump out - clarity is truly stunning.
If you want a set of speakers for under £100 then there are loads out there, but if you want a set of speakers that sound stunning then regardless of your budget it is worth considering these - they are definitely up there with the big boys and at a fraction of the price.

Revealing Sound. Minimalist Heavyweight Design., 31 Jan 2008

maelstrom -

This review is from: Acoustic Energy AE26-06B AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system Black (Electronics)

"Buy it." (Used with Apple computer).

Plastic fantastic fans steer clear. Out of box, immediate impressions were speakers solidly built.

Do not be fooled by diminutive black satellite speakers. Elegantly designed, firing in upward elevation, utilizing minimal desk space, in a satisfying heavyweight, black metal textured casing. Quality.

The sub-woofer is another all black heavyweight story. 3 bass settings. "Setting 1" provided ample bass for my music library. Experimenting with positioning of sub-woofer proved fun as bass response varied with room positioning. Sits in room corner position, next to leather chesterfield, resulting in tighter bass resonance.

"The Breaking of the Fellowship" (Lord of the Rings soundtrack) - Extremely revealing, wonderfully eerie presentation with wide choral soundstage from the satellite speakers. I shut my eyes and soaked up unfolding emotion.

"Court & Spark" (Herbie Hancock feat. Norah Jones) - Norah came to life. My heart skipped a quaver beat as I looked for Norah's sultry lips behind my Apple screen. The satellite speakers performed Hancock's subtle jazz piano play in naked detail. All instruments revealed in crystal clarity.

"The Fun Lovin' Criminal" (Fun Lovin' Criminals) - bite down on a scooby snack and prepare for liquid bass. Use bass responsibly.

Occasionally on the "bright" side. Would like to see Acoustic Energy develop/evolve this EGO, along lines of Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) design and big sound principles/philosophies.

Bought my AE EGO direct from manufacturer. Bravo.

Pros: Superbe, elegant, all black, minimal design. Transparent high frequencies. Revealing. Studio
monitor like.

Cons: Would like to hear more mid-range frequency detail. Next EGO version perhaps.

"Highly recommended."

Mind-Blowing Speakers!, 22 Aug 2008

KMW (England) -

This review is from: Acoustic Energy AE26-06B AEGO M 2.1 active speaker system Black (Electronics)

I previously owned some Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers and thought they were pretty good, that was until my brother purchased some of these Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 speakers. As soon as he turned them on for the first time I immediatley went online and purchased some for myself. I can't express enough in words how awesome these speakers sound! There is absolutely no comparison between these and Altec Lasing 2.1 speakers, or any other 2.1 system I have since listened to including Logitech, Creative, Sony, JBL and Bose. The clarity of the speakers is excellent and the bass is mind blowing, they sound perfect across all frequency ranges, really bringing the music alive. There are 3 bass settings, Level 2 seems the best overall with level 1 ok if you have neighbours and level 3 if you you like 'floor shaking / window shattering' bass. These speakers can go extremely loud without any imperfections. You would think these would cost a whole lot more than their current retail price.

Visually, the speakers look great. The build quality of these speakers is fantastic and the wires are of very high quality with gold plated plugs and connections. There is an extra output for a center speaker that can be purchased separately, but in my opinion it's not essential. There is also a 3.5mm input on the front of the sub woofer to connect your MP3 player which is convenient.

If you're looking for a 2.1 speaker system and take pleasure in listening to superior quality sound then look no further than the Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 active speaker system. Seriously, they're awesome!!

This review is from: Panasonic Viera TX-L19C20B 19-inch Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview - Black (Electronics)

As with all the recent panasonic kit, the picture quality of this littletely is superb (this is installed in a bedroom, so viewing is from about 10 feet away - screen would be too small otherwise) we're not quite so sold by the sound quality however, although it is tighter and cleaner than panasonic used to be.
Setup is very easy, and the remote control is quite intuitive - I would suggest to the developers that the sleep timer function could be nearer to the top of the menu tree.

This review is from: Panasonic Viera TX-L19C20B 19-inch Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview - Black (Electronics)

I bought this as a small TV which wouldn't take over the room, and so far, so good. It's neat and tidy looking, was very easy to set up, has a very clear picture and good enough sound. Subtitles are very easy to get, and menus are clear and quick to navigate. All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone who, like me, doesn't want the TV to be the focal point of the room, but does want comfortable viewing.

Amazing projector!, 7 July 2011

Dave Nicholas -

This review is from: Optoma DS211 2500 ANSI SVGA DLP Projector (Electronics)

I must say that I purchased this projector last month and I am completely surprised by the quality it produces for the price I paid! An absolute steal!!!

I have watched the tennis, motor racing, as well as normal TV programmes and films on this by projecting on to my living room wall, the picture image is colourful and bright, clarity is second to none, easy to set up and easy to control (I let me daughter connect it up and it was installed and working within minutes).

The product is smaller than I anticipated and the chasis is sturdy and very 'durable' looking ideal when placing it on a coffee table!

I am so happy with my purchase, definately a 'must-have', excellent value!!!

This review is from: Optoma DS211 2500 ANSI SVGA DLP Projector (Electronics)

when reading the techs and the reviews on this product I thought it sounded too good to be true considering the price - but i went out on a limb thinking it seemed a reasonable gamble. Worked straight out of the box and has given me nothing but joy for the last couple months sice i bought it. The noise level is minimal if you are watching films with some speakers plugged in - though might be a tad loud for working without audio. For the purposes of watching media, playing games and so on i cannot (so far) fault this product. It gets fairly hot once you run into the 2+ hour mark but then i dont know of a projector that doesnt.
One drawback I have found (that is no fault of Optima or Amazon) is the infamous 'rainbow effect' apparently so common with DLP projectors. I read up on this before buying and hoped i wasnt one of the few who suffer from this badly. I do notice it quite strongly when looking at certain things (credits or sequences with large black parts to the screen) but not nearly so much as some have stated, furthermore it really is negligable at all other times and I seem to notice it more than everyone else around me, so again, i would say its a reasonable gamble.

All in all this is an excellent product and good value for money, and furthermore a testiment to the progression of technology allowing items which once were unnafordable to all but specialists, now featuring in peoples homes.

Great Value Projector!, 18 July 2011

James Ingram (UK) -

This review is from: Optoma DS211 2500 ANSI SVGA DLP Projector (Electronics)

I bought this projector for my children as a Birthday present and given the price of the box was not expecting a huge amaount.

However, I was suprised just how bright and vivid the colours were. Sure it's not HD but that didn't seem to stop the kids enjoyment as we mainly use it for gaming but I would definately consider using it for the football as well. Out of the box you only have basic connections so if you need anything longer than 2m please make sure you get the necassary cables.

Overall a great value projector that does exactly what it should.

Superb T.V., 21 Sep 2011

york1264 -

This review is from: Panasonic Smart VIERA TX-P42G30B 42-inch HD Ready 600Hz Internet-Ready Plasma TV with Freeview HD Tuner (Electronics)

After a good few weeks research I narrowed my tv search down to this one and the very similar spec TX-L42E30B. It basically comes down to personal choice between LED/LCD and PLASMA. I was still undecided when comparing the two models side by side in my local Panasonic dealer. I was tempted by the LED/LCD as it was the cheaper of the two models but after a bit of haggling the dealer dropped the price of the Plasma to match the LCD/LED just to add to my dilemma. Sorry Amazon but with the price dropped the tv was cheaper at the dealers with a five year guarantee and free same day delivery. Anyway back to the tv it is simply stunning both standard def and high def images are the best images I have seen on a tv, it looks much better at home than in the shop. The picture was near perfect straight out of the box but can be improved/tweeked to suit your preference in the menus. I was a little dissapointed in the sound quality however five minutes in the sound menu had it sorted by adjusting the graphic equalizer to get a decent output for a flat screen tv. One word of warning make sure you purchase the G30 model not the S30 as the S30 is the older model with last years plasma panel not the new NEO Plasma. It also has a thick screen surround which makes it look a bit old fashioned. So you pays your money and makes your choice both sets are great and I doubt you will be dissapointed in either. Hope this review helps a bit.
