Any views on Acoustic Research Aego P%
I like the look of the P5. Has anyone any views good or bad on the system.
Can you recommend a better one at under £500?
Thx
RE: Any views on Acoustic Research Aego P%
It is perhaps the best Sub-Sat system for around £500 that you can get....nuf said :D
RE: Any views on Acoustic Research Aego P%
Claret...
Indeed, the Aego p5 is a stunning system, which still shines after nearly 2 years service! You can see what i thought, (and still think!), about the system here.
However, as a man in the know ;) it may be wise to hold out and wait for the new MK2 system which will be in the shops by christmas. I`ve been sworn to secrecy by my source on the pictures and look of the system, (which was at the What Hifi Sound And Vision show), but it has a few key features;
[list]
[*] Full width processor, (rather than dainty), with revised DAC`s, Dolby Pro Logic 2 processing, new remote and lovely silver finish
[*] New design sattelites with broader frequency range
[*] New subwoofer with deeper frequency response and revised cabinet and driver mechanism
[/list]
I for one will be getting one and passing on my current one, and can wholeheartedly recommend the Aego`s to anyone as they really are amazing systems for the money and such small size.
I`ve sworn by it for nearly 2 years and wouldn`t be without it. It even beats the pants off Mordaunt Shorts Premier package and any of the Sony DAV systems by a massive margin - so buy one in confidence ;)
Hope this helps

RE: Any views on Acoustic Research Aego P%
Westy,
I`m curious now! :) As you know from my emails a while back, I`m looking into buying a new system, smallish speakers and the like, good for music and film. The Mordaunt Short Premiers were some I`d shortlisted. How, in your opinion, are these better?
What are the pros and cons of a speaker system like this, in contrast to a traditional one that is not all connected through the sub? I know there`s a new Premier Plus version coming out any thoughts?
Others speakers I`m considering are the new KEF eggs, Canton CD1`s, and if I can persuade my wife (but have very little chance) the Monitor Audio B2AV or B2AV1 pack (I`m not sure I can cope with the look of the BFX rears - so I know my wife won`t).
My concern with the KEF eggs was the ability of the centre speaker for dialogue, and my concern with the MA B2 packs are, as I mentioned, size. How do these the MS packs and the Aego 5`s add up? I`ve not heard the MA speakers or the Cantons.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

RE: Any views on Acoustic Research Aego P%
Thx everyone for your views
I have seen the P5 Mk1 at £400 - I don`t mind if I don`t have the cutting edge Mk11s.
So I`m going for the P5s tomorrow unless anyone can tell me of a source under £400.
Thx
again for the help
