Hey, has anyone personally compared this to the Bic F12? The Bic gets rave reviews and is about $100 less, so just wondering? I'm speaking of music, not movies or gaming.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

Either would work fine in a small room..the bass is fully adjustable on the Bic..so you can adjust it to suit the room. I think the Bic would have a big advantage if you decided to move your sound system to a larger room ..you can adjust the bass up and the Bic can bang a large room VERY WELL..Ive had mine for several years now in a 23x 25 foot living room..it works fantastic.

I am listening to mine right now via BlackBerry tooth. I have had it for well over a year and use it most every day. My son gave me a Jam blue tooth portable speaker for Christmas, and, while nice and a little smaller, has a shorter battery charge and less audio volume and quality. However, I was under the impression that Monster had quit making the Clarity.

I completely agree. To make bass, you have to move air.Having said that, these actually do so very well. I'm under the impression that those claiming the E2C doesn't produce bass either aren't getting a proper fit or don't understand how incredibly flat the frequency responce is (and should be).If you want boomy bass try Sony. They're cheaper.

Beyerdynamic has raised their prices across the board on all their products earlier this year. So I would not bet on it since that is way below dealer cost. Your best bet is something used. Even refurbished/used is more then that a lot of times, but would get you closer on budget.

Unfortunately I don't have much information to help because I'm considering the purchase of the same system. Has your impression changed much from the original post? I enjoy classical music but don't know much about different audio outputs and quality differentiators. Is there a better system at a similar price that you know of? Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Main technical differences are low end (53 vs 60 for the MB42-C), impedence (8 vs 4), size (over an inch taller) and shielding (have vs have not). The Micca MB42X-C is shielded for $40 more. Against that, I'd take the CS10 any day. If your main speakers (or your sub-woofer) cover the bass, and you don't care about shielding, the Micca might be an OK tradeoff if money is tight. All I can say is I haven't been disappointed with my CS10. But note I would've gotten a CS2 but it didn't fit my cabinet (only $25 more).

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

Shipping was FREE via Amazon. How much did your's ship for? Different vendor, perhaps? Most impt., how did this hot black DM-V perform? Fit and Finish? Both mine, and the one i gifted my 15 y/o nephew for Christmas was totally " nice for the price" ......his number one and two , area razor slime DB,...., And a Washburn V with Bill Lawrence pups. This one serves backup,...he loves It. DM-V for under $300.....amazing! Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Classic Black (i love mine too!) FREE Shipping from Amazon........

Yes, for me it is excellent. I am loving mine. It does not have quite as much volume as I would like sometimes, but I listen to my music too loud anyway and the sound is good.

I had problems with the one I purchased, then found out that there is no product support at Numark for this unit. I sent mine back. If you can determine the bit rate of your onboard sound device, and it's 24bit, you won't find anything better under $300. I have a Soundblaster Xfi HD model SB1240 external USB sound card for my laptop (which has a 16bit sound device) and am very happy with it.

Heya J. While I haven't owned a Titanium HD card, I have owned many different audio cards in the past. I currently use the ZxR with a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT 990 Premium 600 OHM headphones and Bose QC-15 headphones. The audio quality on the Beyer Dynamics are incredible. Love the quality. The Bose are, of course, great quality as well. Depends on if you want to hear what's going on in the room around you (BD's), or dead silence (Bose). I really enjoy the extra audio processing capabilities of the ZxR as well. Really a great setup. The external audio module with the huge volume knob is handy too. I have a Logitech G-19 keyboard with a volume wheel handy for minor adjustments during game play or while listening or composing music. If you enjoy Creative's audio hardware and drivers, you will LOVE the ZxR.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

The pl-200 is just an upgraded version. 250w rms amp compared to the bic f12s 150w rms. I own the f12 and an very impressed. If your budget allows the pl-200, go for it, but for 95% of people the f12 does a fantastic job.

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.

I like mine. It performs well and, in my opinion, it's worth the money. However, if you're expecting the kind of sound described in your question, I think you are going to have to spend more money for something more powerful. Good luck.
