Eltax Liberty 5 versus Mission 702e

Advantages: fantastic 'big', rich sound. Very good price.
Disadvantages: quite deep, need to be away from wall

...demonstrations of both products (albeit in different shops!), and much to my own astonishment,I opted for the Eltax. I had fully intended on the basis of equal reviews to go for the Mission by virtue of it being from bass-ported not rear like the Eltax. However I couldn't ignore the fact that the Eltax had a considerably superior definition of bass. It was clearer and smoother than the Mission, which was quite bass-heavy and boomy in comparison. The only drawback is that they are both slightly deeper in size than the Mission and rear bass-ported which means they shouldn't be placed directly against the wall. Notwithstanding this however, they are a seriously class act, can handle 100 watts of power and deliver a depth and quality of sound which, if you're used to compact speakers, will take your breath away....

Review of ELTAX SYNPHONY 8

CD-OK

Advantages: Store yor data, free your hard drive
Disadvantages: come on a spindle and have no cases

...I recently managed to fill up my 80GB Hard drive with all sorts of rubbish and needed some CD's to store my information on. Usually I would buy them from Tesco's, but as I was In a hurry I popped into my local computer retailer (Northbridge Computers in Lowestoft) to see what he had available. All he had on this occassion was TDK CD-R80 discs. There was single CD's in cases, boxs of ten in cases and spindles of twenty-five and one hundred. I plummeted for the spindle of twenty-five as I wasn't rich enough at the time to buy the big fat one hundred spindle. ***Product*** The disc's themselves are light blue with a silver swirl on it. TDK CD-R80 is clearly stamped on it. There is plenty of room to write on them and they can store up to 700MB of data or 80 minutes recording time. They are ideal for backing up files, pictures, photos...

Eltax Liberty 5 series

Advantages: Excellent affordability and sound
Disadvantages: Is there any?

...I purchased these last year from Richer Sounds, which is only one a of a few places that actually sell Eltax products, aswell as the odd shop and hi-fi store. I thought the floor standing ones looked so much more impressive than the book shelf ones, and paid an extortionately heavy price of £110! They look impressive to look at and the colour of the wood to the single bass and single tweeter cones work perfectly (I chose the Beech colour wood with metallic and white cones). Sped home in a taxi and after figuring out how to bi-wire them I set about positioning them in my match box room! They need to be at least a foot away in perimeter from anything, and you can add spiked feet for extra height and clarity of bass which often rumbles through the floor. The Eltax website is very impressive and they have lots of quality products. They have...

Review of Eltax Liberty 5 Speaker Package

48 Hour CD Service

Advantages: Cheap chart and new releases. 48 hour delivery typical
Disadvantages: Postage may or may not be included in listed price

...101cd have always serviced me well with my CD needs. I tend to order from either these guys, or Amazon. 101cd have very good deals on chart and new releases. These go for £9.99 which includes p+p. Typically you can expect your order to arrive in around 48 hours. They always have a good budget range for sale, usually these are around the £6-8 mark. You pay p+p on top of these though. As expected you can search by artist, title etc, and look through the whole catalogue. There is very rarely a cd they do not have. Prices do vary though, and they may not be the cheapest around. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't! They do offer imports and rare releases. These often seem to be sourced from other retailers, so you may benefit by going directly to that retailer for the rare or import cd you may want. You can earn ipoints by...

Review of 101CD

Sega Mega CD? Sega Mega Crap!

Advantages: Grandfather of CD consoles
Disadvantages: The Sega Saturn should have been the grandfather

...Do you know why Sega stopped making games consoles after the Dreamcast and concentrated on making software for other consoles? It is because Sega?s executives have always made stupid, ill-informed decisions. I mean, how many mistakes can a company make before they start to wise up and start doing things properly to make a profit and appeal properly to their fans? The Dreamcast was a step in the right direction, but it was already too late and Sega knew it as well. So now I present you with genesis, the beginning of Sega?s bad decision making with this horrid contraption called the Sega Mega CD. It was made to prolong the life of its aging console, the Sega Mega Drive, since the old ?16bit? and ?BLAST PROCESSING? marketing ploys stopped working. I remember in my childhood that only the rich kids could afford a Mega CD because it was way...

CD WOW - ABSOLUTE RUBBISH....

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: No Stock, Don't deliver, Misleading emails

...******Please update at bottom of this review******* Over the years I have used several internet sites when it comes to purchasing DVD's and other gifts for family and friends. I have always found the site that offers good customer service, value for money as well as a prompt delivery. Out of all those companies the worst has to be, without a doubt, CD WOW...... I have an MBNA Reward card and I exchanged some points for a CD WOW e-voucher. Up to this point I had never used the company and so I started looking for the DVD of my choice to use the voucher. The Company CD WOW is based in Hong Kong and was formerly of budget record label, Tring International. They ship from multiple countries including: United Kingdom, Hong Kong, USA, Republic of Ireland, Australia, Sweden, Spain and Germany. In 2000 they started...

Cd Wow Indeed

Advantages: Online/secure payment and free postage
Disadvantages: Takes a few days to arrive/limited choice

...I'd read a review here on Ciao on CD WOW and a few days later a friend of mine mentioned it too. So I decided it was time to investigate further...... So off I went to www.cd-wow.co.uk Simple site designed in black, red and blue. I decided to sign up. This whole process took, five mins max! You just had to supply a few details including email address etc. Your email address doubles as your username and you have to make up a password for your account. On the left hand side of the page is as the top twenty CDs (based on UK CHARTS) and in the middle pre-releases and a review of a new album (at the moment David Gray) then on the right hand side has a ad telling you about the amazing free delivery, customer service details, dvds, and games. A little background info on the company (all these details can be found on the page) are...

Best CD prices on the net

Advantages: Good service, cheap prices
Disadvantages: Inevitable time delay between ordering and receiving goods

...CD Wow is a site that I found out about through Dooyoo and Ciao so since I tend to spend a lot of my disposable income on CD's I decided to check it out. Wow is the word I was very impressed and all the claims I had heard regarding what a good service and how cheapo it was were all true. >>>THE BASICS<<< CD Wow is an online shop where you can buy CD's and more recently DVD's. The web address is: www.cd-wow.com The biggest advantage of using this site is the price of the CD's. They normally charge a max of £8.99 (single CD) for any CD listed on site, including new and chart CD's. Since the Postage and packaging is free this price represents a very good deal when compared to other online or high street CD outlets. When you log on to the main page you are faced with three separate sections to choose from. *The Top 20...

How CD-WOW

Advantages: Very cheap, reliable service.
Disadvantages: Delivery time of 5-7 days, Limited to popular music.

...I was introduced to this site by a friend who merely laughed at me as I returned from Virgin one day, proudly clutching my "two cd's for £22". I thought I had a bargain until I was shown this website. I have vowed never to buy CD's from the high street again. Background ---------- CD-wow is now regarded as one of the best on-line stores and a short look at their very nicely designed site shows why. From their customer service centre in Bucks, they run a business that provides CD's and DVD's at unbelievably low prices. Launched in February 2000, they offer CD albums for £8.99, slightly more for double CD packages but never exceeding £12.99. The DVD pricing is less uniformed than this. Most titles are between £6 and £30. The latter price being the charge for trilogies and entire SkyOne series'. They do not state how they are able to...
