Have the opportunity of some EAW speakers. I've never heard of them, let alone experienced them. Looking to use in a large room 5.1 system. MS30Ci model. Anyone shed any light on if they're worth looking at ? They're a US manufacturer, seems very low volume (no pun intended) in Europe. I've had some ste American speakers in the past....

Not being offered to you out of the back of a white van on Gloucester Road are they?

Nope. Moving some demo rooms in a broadcaster. Some mahoosive stuff up for grabs it seems.

Yes, big pro-audio manufacturer, at one point the best large PA speakers around, now part of Loud Technologies who also own Mackie and Martin Audio, who make PA speakers here in the UK.

MS series where designed as studio monitors, so for home cinema should be fine, although studio monitors are designed to have a 'flat' response, I've tried a few over the years for HiFi use and not liked them.

Many thanks for the information. Interesting they're from the same group as Martin Audio. They have some of those too. Makes sense I guess.

Bringing a pair home tomorrow to play with.... Will report.
