Mordaunt Short Avant 908I

Advantages: Styling, Sound quality, power and affordability
Disadvantages: Would be nice if it had a remote...

...Just purchased the 309i from Richer Sounds and my first impression was it looks much better in person than it does on the pictures.. Its a very solid looking Sub and is much larger than you may think... The actual driver on the unit is also very slick and tidy looking... So as far as looks go, you will definitely not be disappointed.. When i comes to sound, i don't believe there are any Subs on the market that will offer you as much oooph for your money... The maximum power output is actually 360W (stated on the back of the Sub) and i believe the RMS is either 175W or 200W..

...We were going to France two years ago and so we decide to purchase a SAT NAV to help us find our way around France. We did our research and commited ourselves to the Navman iCN 530. One of the main reason for buying the Navman iCN 530 was that it comes with an European map which suit our purpose then. The SAT NAV comes in a black casing with easy to use buttons, the TFT touchscreen is clear and easy to view. There is two switches, one on top of the machine for standby and the other at the bottom to turn the power. For the voice guided directions, you can choose between a female or a male voice. We choose the female, UK accented voice instead of the american voice. Somehow it is more soothing even though we get irritated by her voice when she repeat the instruction once too often. One of our favourite feature is the speed camera... Read review
