Hey Guys,
I have found on the web that this is great, even greater than the Wharfedale 9.1 that I wanna buy.
See the test:

Even the B&W 686 was defeated, the brother of 685
See:

Guys here, have you seen this in any audio store?
Can you please share me your comments, also the latest price. Maybe I will buy.

how much is your budget for a spkr pair sir?
i would suggest you give a listen to the RS1, GS10, or the PL100 models.

MA speakers sound good. it wouldnt dissapoint you.

Sorry Sir I have a limited budget. I am torn between Wharf 9.1 & Monitor Audio BR2. Which should I get?
I'm only into music.

give them both a listen. if possible, at home, using your own gears.

Sorry I cant cos I'm far from Manila. I only depend on reviews. And so with your experiences too. $:-\$

that is too bad bro.
anyway, if you could borrow from a fellow audio enthusiast, that would be better.

the important thing is narinig mo at naikumpara mo bago mo binayaran.

here's a link to some pictures and some short comparisons with other speakers.

in short, the BR2 is an audiophile grade speaker with a bang for the buck price.

9.1 vs. br2? amigo, kung same price mo lang makukuha yan, wag ka ng mag-isip -- dive ka na agad sa MA.

for me, 9.1 vs. proac clone -- pwede pa. (no offense sa mga 9.1 owners ha

)

Has anyone compared these (BR2) to Polk TSi's or the new RTi's?

@ John E,

What AVR were they using with the BR2 at audioworld?

there you go my wife IM'd me and said the cdp used was a rega apollo using the very lastest Wolfson DAC chips available, the WM8740 Sigma Delta 24bit Digitak to Analogue converter (LOL ang galing hehehe) the amp she's still trying to recall

Haha... don't think I'd ever be able to get my wife to remember that stuff. Hehe.

BTW, how does the BR2 compare with the TSi 300. Its also under consideration since the 300 is reasonably priced especially since everyone advises to get stands for bookshelves. It also has pretty much the same drivers as the 200.

i know it would be brought up. the comparison may not be apples to apples but if it was a blind test...

ill just PM you later baka may mga magalit pag sinabi ko na mas maganda yung isa

Haha... abangan ko PM mo. Lalabas kasi same price range talaga BR2 and TSi 300. Especially if you consider the price of the stands.

Thanks.
