Sony Pascal or Bose AM6?
BHC
I'm adding a Sony STRDB930 Amp to my setup and am looking for a speaker
system to go with it. Different dealers have recommended both the Sony
Pascal system or Bose AM6, one dealer says one is better than the other and
the next will say the opposite!
Any genuine help appreciated!
Thanks

Both speakers you mention have high 'novelty' factor.
Bose is good at marketing, just like McDonalds;)
If you are looking for something small that sounds good, then maybe listen
to the Boston Micro 90 range.
More expensive, but sounds very good.
I have not got these myself, but have listened to them, and would certainly
consider them, if I did not have the room for full size speakers.
Not many dealers for Boston, but you will find some.

you buy it's horses for courses you really need to listen before you buy.

write up but I am very pleased with both the sound and of course the
unobtrusive appearance in the living room.
If I was going again, I would probably go for AM15 which has an active,
rather than passive, subwoofer and was not on the market when I bought.

of an active subwoofer. The passive one you get with the Bose doesn't cut the
mustard. I've partnered mine with a Strata II to take care of the bottom
end. TBH I would prefer good quality floor-standers all round but I have
noticed that a high percentage of female partners do not view speakers as
attractively as most of the male populace.

Do you not find that the Bose cubes just don't reach far enough down the
frequency range and that you have to wang the sub crossover *way* up to fil
the gap ? That seems to be the problem - when you bring the sub up to
match the speakers, it's frequency is so high you can start to hear
directionality.
I personally would advise everyone to look at the quoted frequency range of
the speakers, and if they don't go down to around 100Hz to 80Hz, then
discount them from your buying process. I've heard Bose don't quote
frequency rages, so you're into taking a SPL meter into the shop when you
audition them. Consider the frequency at which your AV amp routes bass to
the sub when setting the 'small' speakers option in the amp setup. Everyone
should use 'small' unless they have monster speakers which go down to 20Hz.

honest in my domestic environment there's had to be a trade off between
harmony and size. I think if I had the chance I'd u/g to Bostons or
something akin to that. Sad thing is I've been banned from spending any
more on HE this year, so it looks like an upgrade will have to wait until
next year when we move house. Hopefully we'll get a place with a cellar so
the cinema can go down there and I will have NO limitations put on the
speaker system - or a f**king big projector!
