MS902

Advantages: Looks, smoothness of bass, crispness of treble
Disadvantages: Look to nice to leave to grilles on all the time

...I can't begin to descirbe how much i like these speakers. The sound quality is incredibly clear. Very occasionally, older/lower quality recordings can sound a bit nasal, but this is not an issue. Everything from Led Zeppelin to Madonna is reproduced with almost frightening clarity and realism. These speakers sound incredibly open and warm, and are incredibly musical Bass is something that Mordaunt Short have always done very well. These speakers go down to 55Hz, although in-room this is far lower. The bass is very flexible, yet still dry. They can do the deep sine sweeps often found in music by bands like the chemical brothers, but a bass drum in music by the white stripes is reproduced with equal weight and drive The treble that comes from the aluminium dome tweeter is fantastically clean. It sounds very sharp for an acoustic...

Review of Mordaunt Short 902 Bookshelf Speakers

Off the Wall-E!

Advantages: Clever animation
Disadvantages: None

...of Toy Story and Antz somehow have something for the adults too but it's definitely the case with WALL-E, easily delivering on that score. It really is a wonderful piece of cinema for the modern age. Directed by Andrew Stanton, the guy who did most of Pixars big hits, the film is stuffed full of fun references to those previous movies and other little obscure Sci-Fi treats, Stanton very geeky on that genre. The film deservedly won the Oscar for best animated feature this year, the second for Stanton who also won one for 'Finding Nemo' in 2003. Everything from Silent Running to Short Circuit and 2001: A Space Odyssey to Star Wars is parodied in someway here and Pixar Studios also take the chance to subtly promote the other entertainment giants that they are associated with through the background, and not always complimentary. Again are we...

Review of Wall-E (DVD)

mmmmm

Advantages: Good price good looks even sound
Disadvantages: build quality and short on top end

...Well I had seen a review on this kit in what hi fi and fell in love with the speakers purely on looks and others opinions. Big mistake, after saving the required £600 I bundled them into the car without a full demo from my local dealer, when I unpacked the sats I found a few badly finished edges and a lack of detailed set up instructions for the sub. Still full of excitement I continued with my quest and set the speakers round the room and wired them up to my amp. I spun a first disc with my heart racing for joy, then it dropped like a bomb. The speakers sounded like something pinched off a matsui mini system. I fiddled with the settings on my amp, then the array of controls on the back of the sub but to no avail, I contacted the supplier who said I needed to run the speakers in for about 36 hrs. 48 hrs later of continual running in...

Review of Mordaunt Short Premiere Home Cinema Speaker Package

Small Speakers, Small Sound

Advantages: Small, lightweight, can be used with any mp3 player
Disadvantages: Sound quality isn't great - speakers not very powerful

...Introduction I previously posted a review for the Sanza Fuze mp3 player I bought for my daughter. Well, one of the joys of having a child is you buy them something and then they ask you for accessories, and this was no exception - I needed to get a wall charger separately and she also asked for speakers. Most of the content my daughter has on her mp3 player is on her laptop, for which I bought her high quality speakers that give her excellent sound quality, so when she asked for speakers I told her I was only going to get cheap portable ones rather than spend a lot of money on something that would merely duplicate what her laptop does. Choosing the Speakers My daughter isn't particularly fussy about sound quality, so she was happy to go along with this and I did a little research online in search of something that would fit...

Review of JVC SP-A220 Portable Speakers

Wall-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Advantages: Laughing
Disadvantages: If u don't like to laugh

...extras on the DVD: Burn-E, a new short movie. This is a short movie about one of the maintenance robots on the spaceship in the actual movie. The robot gets locked out of the spaceship. Nice little movie to watch but not as funny as the actual movie. Presto, short movie. This short movie is about a rabbit and the magician. Also nice, but has nothing to do with the movie itself. - Non used scenes - Audiocommentary of Andrew Stanton - Animation sound design: Worlds build with sounds My opinion: I found it difficult to write about a movie without ruin the whole story, but wall-e is really a great movie to watch. I was first very skeptical about this movie, because how can a non talking robot be funny? But I was wrong. For me Wall-e is in the same category as Finding Nemo. You will laugh about the stupid movements...

The Walls of Time

Advantages: Stunning views, good exercise
Disadvantages: A long, long way up

...Kotor is a beautiful little town on the Montenegro coast. It's a natural harbour and is a real jewel of the Adriatic. I'm going to write another review about the town - this one is about one the main attractions of Kotor - its City Walls. When we arrived in the town we looked up from the hustle and bustle of the medieval cobbled streets lined with busy bars and gazed at the walls which creep up the mountainside, apparently disappearing into oblivion. Montenegro means "Black Mountain", and wherever you stand on the coast, the skyline is dominated by the gloom of the mountains just beyond the town. We contemplated the climb - the heat was intense in the middle of the day - pushing 35 or 36 degreed Celsius, and it looked a long, long way up. The walls snake along as far as the eye can see, and you can just make out the colourful little...

Review of City Walls, Kotor

Wall-E Review

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: I can't think of anything

...Wall-E is a story about a little refuse collecting robot who has been left to clean up the mess we humans have left behind after we fled the earth. Wall-E is all alone on earth except for a pet cockroach. It's when EVE comes to earth that story picks up. EVE is a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, sent to earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve and so when she leaves on a massive ship he hitches along and learns more than he could ever imagine. I'm gonna say straight off that I love this film, it seems that Pixar can do no wrong and with Wall-E they have created one the cutest, most loveable characters ever seen on screen. As Wall-E doesn't talk there are long periods with no dialogue but this is never boring and you're so thoroughly entertained you'll wonder where the time went...

Disney Pixar raise the bar again with Wall-E

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...I am sure I am not alone in being a parent of a child who has begged me to take him to watch Wall-E at the cinema since the film first started being advertised a few months ago. Disney Pixar's latest wonderful collaboration had my son hooked from the first ad on TV. He laughed his head off and I thought, 'How could I deny that?!' So, last week, with rubbish British Summer weather, we headed off to our local cinema for pick'n'mix and some Disney magic. The Plot Wall-E is set in a future where the world has changed. The company Buy'N'Large has monopolised the world and turned it into a rubbish site, with piles off rubbish littering its entirety. The human race has long since discovered space travel and made the trip into space on a huge space boat to live until Earth is suitable for a return. Back on Earth, we meet Wall-E, a robot...

Review of Wall-E (DVD)

Wall-E is on a mission to save the world!

Advantages: Great animation & story
Disadvantages: Very predictable

...I took my 6 year old cousin to see this at the cinema but that was really just an excuse for me to go & see it as I love Pixar movies, especially The Incredibles. Pixar is part of Disney, in 2004 Disney bought Pixar for around $7.4 billion! Pixar have created a number of memorable, entertaining kids films such as; Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, A Bugs Life, Toy Story & Monsters INC to name but a few. Wall-E is Pixar's 9th feature film, they have created numerous short films using characters from their feature films like Jack Jack from The Incredibles. These have also been very successful & extremely well received. Wall-E took $180,000,000 to make & grossed around $521,806,999 which in anybodies book is a huge profit! It won the 2009 golden globe for Best Animated film. Wall-E is set way in the future, the 22nd century to...

It's Creative with speakers!

Advantages: Tiny, FM radio, voice recorder, speaker
Disadvantages: Quite some, read the review

...I never had a great respect for Creative?s audio quality, in a sense they are know to have at best ?above average? and normally ?average? audio quality. None of their audio products has ever reached, forget about over running, the standard set out by the best up there. This new Creative ZEN Stone Plus is no exception only that you get a speaker system, whose sound quality is not more than what you can expect from speaker so tiny, as a bonus and only that. The Upgrade to Creative Zen Stone plus, keeping the same price tag with upgraded accessories without charges. Providing silicon skin and detachable clip for the skin plus the standard ear-bud, instructions and of course the USB cable. I thought it was an inch from the Shuffle and Clip. The skin is a quality one providing openings for USB cable and the speaker. The new Zen Stone...
