Wilson MoviX speakers test – InfoAudio.pl

Summary

There are cinema sets event half the price of this one. But you don’t get something for nothing. The question is whether all we want to do is have boxes to show off standing in our living room, or whether we are looking for a relatively budget priced solution, but one which plays better than it looks. We can safely say that Wilson MoviX 5.0’s price to quality ratio is very good. There is a lot of potential in these speakers and it would be worth reaching it by purchasing an efficient AVR in a similar or higher price range. The basic MoviX 5.0 set will satisfy most needs of a budding cinema maniac. The fronts go down quite low and the sub-woofer is not necessary, but building a home cinema without it is like cooking broth without salt. It is the power of bass which separates watching films from listening to music.

In looking for an AVR, find one with an auto-calibration system.
Here we can see a microphone of a cardboard base which is placed at the height of a viewer’s ears.

A smartly configured stereophonic set will bring much joy, but one cannot call it a home cinema. For most consumers 5.1 systems comprise an optimal configuration and the market standard. Then we have two front channels, a central speaker responsible for dialogues – a very important aspect (it can be assumed that 60% of the soundtrack comprises dialogues rather than explosions). This is complemented by two special effects channels which build depth.

Watching a movie without being surrounded in sound is possible, but lest not forget that evolution made us sensitive to subtle sound signals of the proverbial predators. A crack or a snapping twig and that same crack right behind us are two completely different situations: in the first instance we are the hunters, in the second – the hunted.
