Advantages: Deep bass, weighty sound. Relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: Actually discontinued (seek out newer mx3s), treble and detail can sound a little less exciting compared to other speakers.

...As I said, I don't know what the mx3s are like, but I expect them to sound similar, but with an improved (tweaked) sound. Unfortunately, these speakers aren't bi-wireable so an upgrade involves new speakers. Perhaps Tannoy's Revolution R2s or R3s would be the way to go - I haven't heard these myself, but they have received good reviews and are more aimed at hi-fi than home cinema. If you use these in a home cinema set up, Tannoy also make rear, centre and subwoofer speakers in the Mercury range, so get yourself a surround sound (5.1) amp/receiver and a DVD player, widescreen TV... etc.....

Advantages: Great price Vs performance, compact, good sound.
Disadvantages: Very minor "boxiness" in mid range.

..., probably a bit of a hump at around 800Hz, if my gut feel is anything to go by (that and 22 years in the industry)...... The Tannoy MxC is a small, compact 3 way speaker unit, with two main drivers and a central tweeter. My model has a light Maple wood finish, but it comes in other colour schemes to suit your furnishings. The speaker is intended to sit either on top of your TV, or, in my case, underneath it. It is a good idea to have the TV sit on top of the speaker if possible, as this will anchor the speaker cabinet solidly in place so the cones can move freely against the cabinet, and not cause any phase errors or other distorions. Its the same priciple as spike mounting the main speakers onto the floor (see my EVO3 review for more info). The two main drivers are 130mm diameter placed either side of the single centre placed tweeter... Read review

Advantages: Very clear, very crisp
Disadvantages: slight lack of bottom end! Tho I wouldnt frett.

...Finally ! After 2 years i've got my small home studio together. Why so long? laziness and a sheer huge ammount of university work to do, that's why. Im Welsh but you could forgive me for being Scottish by my meaness when it comes to forking out for equipment (only joking, no offence to any Scottish, just mirroring an urban myth of being tight with the cash heh.) The Tannoy Reveal Actives come in at around £359. Believe me I've been to every single site to find the cheapest price and they all more or less (+-10%) fizzle off at that price. I was told about these monitors a while ago and that if I wanted to use them for dance music that I should think twice! Whoever that was, they got it wrong. These babys boom loud let me tell you. I was amazed by the clarity of the sound. They handled the roughest, most dirty basslines I could... Read review

Advantages: Very Light, good quality and very cheap.
Disadvantages: Not very comfortable.

...Nike Mercurial Vapor II SG was being worn by the world fastest and greatest footballers such as Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and more. It is superlight weighing only 200g and it's handmade from Italy. It used to be the lightest football boot but was outrun by the Nike Mercurial Vapor III which only weighs around 185g but Nike Mercurial Vapor II is still a good choice cause it is stylish definitely cheap and your money worth. It is made out of Nike Skin which is a superlight and very thin material. Lightweight performance boot doesn't matter if you are a Sunday league or a professional player the Nike Mercurial Vapor II SG is a good choice for every type of player. The Studs provides perfect agility and acceleration giving you the player a head start on all the others. You can buy this product at eBay for just 20£ to 40... Read review

Advantages: Addictive and Original
Disadvantages: Can be frustrating

...This fantastic game imported from the States, has to be one of the best puzzlers I have played in a long while. You guide a ball of mercury around mazes to reach your goal without losing too much mercury and move onto the next of 72 levels. You need to complete puzzlers that are either a race, (against the clock) percentage (amount of mercury required) or task (activate beacons without running out of time or losing too much mercury) The mazes include changing colours using paint sprayers, mixing balls of mercury together to make different colours, teleports to other parts of the maze, plus a host of other gadgets to make this an original puzzling experience. It opens with a tutorial that starts off easy and gets gradually harder as the writers include more obstacles and mazes. At the end of the level, there is a "boss" level... Read review

Advantages: The Only Desert Island Disc You'll Ever Need.
Disadvantages: Blast, There's A White Liner In The Distance.

...And right out of the blue came Mercury Rev. Nearly men, who had crafted several flawed albums, until the magical opus that is 'Deserters Songs' reared its head. Add this album to their unforgettable intimate live performances and Mercury Rev rightfully hold pride of place on the a-list of innovative artists. I've always liked 'Boces', one of Mercury Rev's previous albums, because it was it was full of brilliant half ideas. What it lacked in focus, it made up in energy. Songs like 'Something For Joey' will always hold a special place in my heart. 'Deserters Songs' is a different proposition altogether, however. Where Mercury Rev once fumbled (with some success) in the dark, they now provide the bright lights for an art form in serious need of reinvention. 'Holes' kicks off proceedings in reflective mode. Lacking a distinct beat... Read review
