Hi there, great reviews and sound tests as always. How does the sound quality and power of the latest A9 compare to the Balance. Are they close? Which do you prefer?

@Mikipedia 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, one A9 is better than one Balance for sure. Not close because of size, I prefer the A9 for many reasons.

Hi Mikipedia, thanks for the video and all other reviews you make. I also have the A9 MKIV. Quick question - On the demo and day use, which settings are you using in term of room compensation on/off, and the circle eq. I found the room compensation to lack a lot of bass, but has more clarity in the overall. What do you think?

@Mikipedia Жыл бұрын

Didn't seem like a problem in my room but I do have a lot of sound deadening material around. I use the optimal setting (the ball in the middle) with room compensation. I had plenty of bass, but it may pull some if you're room is somehwat drone-y(we don't always here it as humans).

Also @mikipedia, how much better would the sound and bass delivery be if you paired 2 balances in stereo vs. 1, and how would that compare to 1 A9 in terms of sound quality, separation and richness of bass? Thank you!

@Mikipedia 3 жыл бұрын

two is better than one, how much you can't really put a number on because it's personal and depends on use case. Two would also be better than an A9 in my estimation, because then the wire is your limit to how wide stereo is and not the device. Personally I'd still rather have an A9 though because it's iconic!

Hi Miki: recently got an A9 Mk4 at half the price of the new Mk5s so was keen to try one at that price. Have been experimenting with the sound modes, also the loudness toggle, with loudness on it significantly increases the bass output, turn it off and you perhaps get greater clarity overall but much less oomph. My A9 is placed in the corner of my living room, would you have loudness on or off in this case and which do you think is the best equaliser mode to use? I’m changing between optimal, party and lounge usually. Thanks .

@Mikipedia 9 ай бұрын

Depends, loudness is on a sliding scale so it greatly depends on what volume level you like to listen to. at something like vol 20 there is a 100% loudness applied and at vol 40 it's maybe 10-15% and in either case around vol 50-55 there is no loudness applied at all anymore in either case. In terms of eq and soundmode, I'd personally go for optimal, but if you listen to a lot of podcast etc that preference may change.

@ntube7 9 ай бұрын

@@Mikipedia hi, thanks that’s useful to know how loudness works. Not really had the volume above halfway on the dial yet as I don’t want the bass to travel through to the apartment below me - hence when I have it on louder volumes I tend to turn the loudness off. But still experimenting. The main issue I’ve had so far is sometimes the product is “offline” and it takes a while to find it on the network again so it can be used, but once it’s got it it tends to work properly.

Great sound. The gen 4 is going cheap and I’m thinking of getting a stereo pair? Would you do this or go 1 x gen 5 and get another gen 5 at a later date? Cheers

@Mikipedia 8 ай бұрын

Hard to say as I can't see your wallet. Both are good. I personally wouldn't really stereo pair them as they are already stereo by themselves, but if you have two rooms, why not?! The difference between the generations is minimal although if you are dead set on stereo pairing them I would go for the Gen 5 as the Gen 4 can only really be stereo paired over chromecast/google home and it's a lot more limiting that way. The Gen 5 has that ability natively.

You could, but they're not really the same kind of product. Besides the A9 having it's own sources it's also stereo, imho the A9 wins it hands down but if you want bass and a lot of it the devialet might be your preference. Also no one should listen to any of these at that sort of volume unless you want to damage your ears :p
