The speaker company - 2 choices

[Odin75]

Hey OP, I have the P6-PR and the RC1, I use them in my 7.1 setup in my bedroom.

Ok, how can I begin. I think for you to appreciate this speakers, you have to understand they are budget solutions. The P6-PR are pretty good, and they have enough bass for their size and price. The mids are good. The real problem with is the highs, which are clearly lacking. When glass breaks, or any other high-pitch sound kicks in, you clearly see the limitations as the sound is weak and not detailed.

The RC1 suffer from the same problem as the P6-PR, but to a bigger degree. Dialogue is clear, but feels weak. You might have trouble hearing voices in movies like Transformers, where dialogue is not as well defined. However, movies like 300, where the sound is more balanced, you will find the RC1 pretty good.

Also, the DAC you use makes this speakers sound differently, so at least they are good enough for anyone to notice the difference between them. I currently run them with my Onkyo SR-606 using Audyssey (digital only). For my particular setup, Audyssey really makes the P6-PR shine, since it sounds more dynamic and detailed than any of my soundcards while in DIRECT MODE. However, that's at the expense of my center channel sounding weaker. I've done the test like 10 times, in different houses even, and the result is always the same.
In the other hand, while using DIRECT MODE, connected from the HDAV1.3 Deluxe from my computer which has a burr-brown DAC, it really makes the center channel more detailed. Voices and glass breaking feels stronger, but of course, within the limitations that I mentioned at first. But of course, my LEFT and RIGHT channels suffer in DIRECT MODE, since I don't get the benefits from Audyssey. The point is, the speakers are good enough, that if upgrade your receiver or soundcard, you will be able to notice the benefits, which is not always the case with budget speakers.

Anyways, the speakers are good, considering their cost. They won't be a bass heavy as towers, so you definitely need to get a subwoofer is you plan to use them for movie watching. Music wise, they are awesome, depending on the type of music you like. Pop music, like Taylor Swift, sounds really good since the bass never reaches the limit of the speakers, so it sounds almost identical with or without the added subwoofer. However, music by Lil Wayne for example, makes you realize they are bookshelves.

Overall, I think they are a solid buy, I just wish the highs were a little bit stronger and the center channel a little bit stronger too.

Advice: Can you afford the the step up? The ones with aluminum woofers? I know they have a massive discount on the P Series, but I feel that you might be happier with the T Series if you plan to use them in a long term. I have not tried the T Series myself, but they're suppose to be better, which I think is the added push the P Series needs to really bring a full smile to your face. If not, then the P Series is a steal, they are supper cheap, way cheaper than what I paid for mine originally.

Ok, I hope that helps.
