Good review with comparisons... Many thanks Siva!!!
Today I was monitoring one auction on eBay India for MV-8E towers and surprisingly the auction closed for Rs.10,199 (+1499) shipping) with just 2 bids. So its probably worth Rs.10,199 or less.
But what is this MV-8E now?
The Missions that I won on ebay arrived yesterday. The carton read MV-8E cinema pack.
I think the MV8 towers that are bundled with the cinema pack
are called MV-8E. The seller must have sold them separately. Essentially
the MV-8E are same as the MV8.
So I connected the towers to my Harmon Kardon AVR 330 and played a song.
They sounded thin. Incidentally I took a dell a425 2.1 computer speaker from
my office and played the same song on them as well. The dell a 425 played
much better inspite of costing may be 1/10th of the towers. Anyways after
playing for about 4 hours, I can see the MV8 is opening up. Yes the burning
does make a lot of difference.
However now I have a different problem, if I crank the volume up on my
AVR, the AVR goes into protection mode. Looks like either the speaker
wires are shorting or the speakers are demanding more power. I will check
the speaker wires later today meanwhile anyone else have any other
suggestion.
Thank you.
