MJ Acoustics V REL

matchday (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Sunday, 8th December 2002, 13:07

I`m gong to be adding a subwoofer to my system

4 x Kef Q15s
1 x KEF Q95

Nakamichi AV8

Marantz CD 6000 Ki CD Player

and an XBOX

The sysem is mostly for music but the idea of Games as well as DVDs in full 5.1 is attractive.

I was thinks about a REL Strata but the people in Sevenoaks Hi fi suggested that MJ Acoustics PRO 100 is as good for less. (£700 in wood)

I had never heard of MJ Acoustics before and just wanted a bit a reassurance before I spent my cash. Given that they both sound amazing, I am worried about reliability and resale value in an unknown brand.

Hello,

I have the MJ Acoustics Pro50. I took the advice of the people in Audio Excellence in Cardiff. I listened to the REL and the Pro50, and I couldn`t tell them apart with my kit.

It is now nearly a year old, it still looks and sounds fantastic, build quality is great, andn it hasn`t skipped a beat.

Hope this helps,

Neil.

Thanks Neil

If you don`t mind me asking how big is your room?

It strikes me that as the Pro 100 is essentially 2 Pro 50s in one bigger box I might be able to get away with a Pro 50 at half the price.

If that isn`t enough I could just get another one.

Hiya,

I think it`s a quite a large room, 25` x 18`, it fills the room no problem. I use it with 5 large speakers for home cinema, and it never seems to be pushed, I`m really happy with it.

Of all my kit, the Pro50 is my favouritre bit, `cos it sounds so good with movies and music.

Maybe some of the technical experts on the forum could advise you if the Pro50 is big enough, or whether you need the Pro100.

Good luck,

Neil.
