We also listened at work
This speaker is great for watching movies and listening to music. It is the perfect choice for both tasks, delivering intense and accurate bass tones as well as a dynamic sound. The sound is perfect in all directions. It filled the room beautifully. There was no excessive high or low bass. Certainly, it is a class of its own.
Worth filling up before buying
What we heard from the Magnat Monitor Supreme was a clear sound at all volumes and ranges, both when listening to music and watching movies, and in the latter case, full bodied dialogues. And thanks to the bass driver, the lows are extremely powerful, intense and tight. Ideal for medium to large sized living rooms. These are the rooms where it can deliver the maximum performance. Of course, in order for the equipment to deliver truly outstanding performances, it is essential that the rooms are acoustically treated. This means taking measurements to determine exactly what type of panels should be installed and where in the room. If this is not done, then the performance of the equipment will be severely compromised by echoes and reflections.
