RE: REVIEW: MJ Acoustics Ref 150 mkII Speakers

I couldn't tell you for sure. My feeling is that MJ wanted to beat the REL in each class. I think the subs are very close in quality, but the MJ's display and remote make it a home run. I have a preset on the remote for classical as well as jazz & rock. And of course I can make micro-adjustments in volume without 5 trips "to get it right" for a given recording. It is producing exactly the kind of bass that I wanted. The speakers sound full range, but there is no hint of that "sub sound" in the mix and excellent blending. I'd have no trouble suggesting an REL to someone, but I wanted to try something new.

In a few days I'll be getting better sub cables and I'll finish tweaking the system. The sound I'm hearing is almost spooky real, the illusion of a singer in the room augmented by that bit of weight from the sub. Fantastic!
