That's It! I'm Making A Splurge Purchase! Ultras!

Well Xp has a point. And we should all strive to get along. I can say I try my best but certainly don't make everyone happy. :) I want peace everywhere I go, cause I am a mediator between friends.

As for me, I can use both bookshelves/receiver +ultras. I am fortunate enough to have a full time job for the next few mos until school when I swith to part time. Oh So there is 2 applications

1. Pc gaming/DVD/win apps
ULTRAS

2 TV/console/vcr/ps2/CD player/AM FM RADIO
Bookshelves and Receiver will do good such as Tannoy+Yamaha on ebay

I dont see how you guys can have only one set of speakers. Oh yeah, I live in a house, so it is different when space is a concern and your tv is used on different things. I dont think I can have everything hooked up to ultras without some issues.

While we're on the subject on comparing produce...

My Mirage system is better than the Ultra's. j/k;)

I don't know why people are getting so antsy about it. The Ultras are currently seeming to be the best all around speakers, XP listens to the same music I do (Tool, APC) and he seems to be very happy, I am going with these speakers. Stop making a big deal out of nothing people! :p

HAHA.. Soup, :) always throwing out good humour :D

I don't know sh1t about audio but I love my ultras. I haven't tried the gigas though. But it seems that giga owners get a little disturbed when ultra owners say they love them. Whats wrong with being satisfied with your purchase?

Haha:cool:

Personally, if you want the Ultras, then get them. You will love them.

On the other hand, if you want the Giga's, get them, because you will love them also. They are great for music.

It's gonna come down to how much you have to spend and what set you can get your hands on. I'm telling you man, you will be happy either route you go:)

Well I can afford either one. I want the best set for music. I like playing my music really loud when my parents are not home. So I want something that still sounds wicked at high volumes and has a good bass system (Songs like The Package for example, have some good bass in them) where it's not thumpy like the Z-680s but rather very....hmmm, clean bass, I should say. The Ultras seem to fit the bill like the Creatives do, and the Ultras seem to have the better sub, and only get mildly beat in the sats by Creative.

I would love to hear those. I wouldn't doubt that they sound lots better in terms of midrange.

Just wait til I go Insane and Buy some Wilsons cause I sold some crystal like substance..Then I will bug all the ultra owners..WILSONS PWN THEM!!! JK :D
I really want to hear the Mirage too, I wonder how this and Rsx klipsch sats are. They would be nice upgrades to attach to MM speakers. I would do it if i got them So cheap. what was it, under 80 bucks? Damn you soup!!!

Notice my countdown..You can guess what that is :p

Well you know the pros and cons of each system, so now you just have to make the decision.

I'll tell you one thing though though, my roomie who lives a floor underneath me is also jamming to The Package as I type this... :D

^The sound tends to carry:)

Please, we can always upgrade to some Axiom m60ti, vp150s, and QS8s to compete with your Klipsch Reference. Which would be better? There's no definite answer. Personally, I've listened to the Klipsch Reference series side by side with Monitor Audio Silver series. The horns and high sensitivity of the Klipsch allow them to play louder at the same amperage. But when the volumes were equalized, the Monitor Audios sounded better to me.

I guess I'm just one of those people who do not prefer the sound of the Klipschs compared to other speakers. Something about them just doesn't sound right to me.

Axioms on the other hand have a very similar sound to Monitor Audio as well as the Paradigm Reference Studio series. Both of which cost considerably more than the Axioms.

Once again, it boils down to preference. Maybe you like the sound of the Klipschs better than any other speakers. BUT, that does not mean they really ARE better than any other speakers.

Nah, I don't wear tennis shoes. ;). But I'm not going to lie, I really like Klipsch. They make some really good stuff, and man is it beautiful. I've been sold on their reference set for a while now.

But it does boil down to preference, and I love the sound of horns. I never said they were better to any speakers. I may really like Klipsch, but that doesnt mean I'd go out of my way to just purchase their prodcut. If someone points me in a better direciton before I make my HT setup, I'd be all over it and consider carefully.

The reason I brought up the Reference sereis was that I just wanted to make the point of comparing a different class of HT speakers than to those mi2s. It's just stupid.

Stop being so damn sensitive. All I said was, "Now I have Axioms."

The only reason I even mentioned it was because I wanted to show that although I am defending the Megaworks, I no longer even own them. I sold 'em on Ebay. If this shows anything, it's my LACK of bias. I am constantly buying new speakers. And it's usually a different brand each time. Although, these Axioms are a rare find and I may be sticking with them for quite a while. And I WILL mention them as often as I please.

I just get pissed off when people claim their HT sets are better than MM sets. Well duh.

Actually, you can really disregard my comments, they're not really aimed at you. Idiot on the other hand, is so biased and knows a whole lot of nothing about MM and just sits pretty and claim his Axioms are better musically, and ignores the fact that he has no low end at all. I totally agreed with your Megaworks statement. I love them, and their midrange is fantastic. But I made the point that without tweeters, I think they lose in terms of musicality. Is that a word? :)
