Firstly I would point out I had never heard of the brand "Technika", but upon hearing a demonstration at my local Comet, I was suitably impressed!
One of the most impressive things is the build quality, these are not "plasticky" cheap speakers, but of heavier stock and reproduce sound faithfully to the original recording.
The cones used in the 4 satellite speakers, proved strong, and when I played Rhiana Umbrella , the picth and tone seemed perfect. One of the most difficult things is to faithfully reproduce bass (low frequency) while still keeping the pitch, and treble (usually where you hear the vocal performance). I am delighted to say this came through with flying colours.
When it comes to connecting to a dvd player, channel seperation is paramount, so it vital that units are tested to high standards, for this reason I decided to hook it up to Panic Room with Jodi foster, all I can say is that the bit where the basketball bounces across the wooden floor, certainly will turn a few heads in your front room!!
The speed of the sound being transmitted front front left speaker, to centre -front right and so on was realistic, and kept the action moving along in acordance with the movie.
overal rating 9/10
