TCL, Cabasse, Pro-Ject, Optoma… The best reviews of the month!

I took a long time to decide between the B&W PX8, the Focal Bathys and the B&O H95. I had the opportunity to listen to the first one with my laptop: it wasn’t great, and yet I have B&W 802 D3 speakers… I saw the Bathys. Very good sound, but not discreet. So I skipped it. Finally I had the opportunity to listen to the H95… It was a total blast. B&O aesthetics, very fine craftmanship and, above all, a listening experience that lived up to my expectations. It’s a very relaxing studio sound, the ANC works very well and the connection to the laptop is top-notch. In a word, ecstasy. A safe purchase.

After several weeks of reflection, I bought this TCL 75-inch screen. First of all, thanks to the Son-Vidéo team for their answers, as I was a bit afraid to get a TV of this size delivered. A big thank you to the driver for helping me carry the TV into my home. Once installed, it’s a blast. I rediscovered my favorite films. My only complaint is that the instructions for installing the stand are not very intuitive. Otherwise, nothing to report, go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

For aesthetic reasons, I had to remove my AV receiver, subwoofers, speakers and, above all, my home theater cables from the living room. I therefore expected a flatter result and less immersive sound. In the end, the power is there, the immersive sound ambiance is very good, as is the channel separation, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the result as well as the ease of installation!

I’d read a number of generally positive reviews of this amp, and I’d also come across a YouTube test in which the reviewers were equally enthusiastic, calling it the best class-D amp they’d heard. Looking for a powerful amp capable of getting the most out of my B&Ws, I took advantage of the sales to buy this Elipson amp, despite the price and the brand’s limited reputation in this type of product. Well, I’m not disappointed, in fact I’m impressed by the power and musicality of this amp. It surpasses all the amps I’ve ever owned, including references like the Rega Elicit-R, the Atoll IN300, the 3D Lab Nano signature… This amp is extremely neutral and transparent, the soundstage is wide and precise, and the bass is superbly controlled. You hear everything, it’s detailed without ever being harsh. It’s everything you’d expect from a top-of-the-range amplifier. It never falters and can get the best out of even the most difficult speakers. The only downside is the rather austere design, which looks more like a pro studio machine.

I bought these Java to replace my Minorca MC40. First of all, the Minorca already produced a high-quality sound, but now the Cabasse MC40 Java (connected to my Denon PMA-2500NE) are really magnificent. I get the impression that the Javas go much higher in the high frequencies, are fuller and don’t forget about the midrange. They’re a perfect match for my amp, a treat for all music lovers!

I was looking for a manual turntable and had planned to replace the original cartridge with a mid-range one. In the end, this set was just what I was looking for. I was happily surprised that it came with all the adjustments done! Bravo!

I was looking for an ultra-short-throw projector at a reasonable price, and this was the only one that met my criteria. It’s really surprising, the image is great even on a wall that isn’t perfect. My set-up is a bit unusual in that I’m projecting onto an old fireplace, so I have less light pollution, which means that even with some light, the image is still great. I should point out that I used to have a rather mediocre, inexpensive projector, so the change is really very good for me. For stationary use, I’ve deactivated the automatic image correction, otherwise every time I start it up, the settings are wrong.

An excellent product. I’m coming from a 2017 Onkyo TX-RZ810, and the quality of the RZs is still there. Power, video quality, ease of handling. The Dirac live calibration is top notch. Used with Jamo D500 speakers and an XTZ 12.17 subwoofer in a dedicated 20m² room, it’s perfect.

Hello, I use it exclusively in hi-fi, with a Heed Elixir amp and Fyne Audio F500 speakers. This sub replaces a B&W ASW610, which I already found very good. The SVS surpasses it in almost every way. Once properly adjusted, the bass is deep and well-defined. Infrabass isn’t intrusive, but perfectly delineated. The 20Hz are not a figment of the imagination. They’re there, and you feel them. To me, the price/sound quality ratio is great, and even though this is the brand’s entry-level product, it sets the bar very high.
