today i watched "Super 8" again, in Blu-ray, but with the new QS8 speakers.
those surround speakers make a very big difference compared to the directional speakers i used before; and i mean it: a very big difference.
the sound is seamless front to side to back, and it all sounds very natural.
in Super 8, the train accident is so much more realistic than before.
the way it is now, it is nerve wracking enough that when the crash ended, i and my friend had to take a break to calm down. One of us had a racing heart and the other was shaking; it lasted for about 10 mins.
it was almost as if we were there, very impressive and realistic, at reference level.
All channels were crystal clear all the time, no compression, no distortion, and at times, frightening.
the soft passages and the music was also first class in reproduction quality.
the QSC GX5 that drives the front speakers (Axiom M80) consumed a maximum of 567 Watts total for the 2 front channels. the power output to the speakers must have been near that many Watts, as the amp is a very efficient class H. Cross over is at 60 Hz.
About my new QS8's, i can say without hesitation that they are a total satisfaction for me, and i could not have made a better decision.
That makes me a very happy person.
