First look
One of the first few names come in our mind
when we think of speaker system is Monitor Audio. Decade old monitor Audio is
now ready to compete with the today's sleek fashion speakers for the slim TVs
with Shadow series. Monitor audio has made their series 50 wall mountable and
pretty sleek, yet being very sturdy and reliable.
Technical Aspects
The shadow set comprises of a pair of shadow
50 as fronts, a pair of shadow 25s as surrounds and a shadow centre as the
central speakers. Maintaining today's trend this system does not have any
dedicated subwoofer. You can choose from 8", 10" or, 12"
according to your preference and size of your room.
Monitor audio recommends their 500 watt
RXW12 with class D amplifier, the 12" subwoofer from silver series
suitable for 300 Sq Ft room or, R370D from Radius series, the latter being a
10" option.
Bottom line
Performance wise this speaker system does a
decent job as long as you consider it as a speaker set meant for your living
room fitted next to your flat panel TV. You will be disappointed if you install
it in a Home theatre room with a projector. This system has slight dip in the
lower mid range frequencies from 400 - 600 Hz, particularly noticeable during chaotic
or, war scenes.
