XTZ MH-800 DSP Review

We are pleased to announce yet another favourable review.

This time it is for the XTZ MH-800 DSP Multimedia System.  We love this package that XTZ have put together and while it may be small in size it certainly packs a punch.  The software, the amp and the speakers all come together in this unbeatable package.

Here are some comments from the reviewer Tony Bolton:

"High hats were displayed in a fairly tighly controlled mannor, avoiding splashiness. The mid-range... occupied the space in front of me, having been propelled some way in front of the loudspeakers."

"Again, this little machine from XTZ pleasantly surprised me by rising to the occasion and providing a performance that belied both the MH-800's sise and price point."

"It provides a flexible and well thought out solution to the problem of reproducing music on a budget from a computoer.  It will satisfy the needs of someone who wants a desk-top unit as a secondary music source, and will, I think, prive popular in the student market, where a laptop often provides the main source of entertainment , both musical and visual."

"Purists may object to the concept of diitally processing a signal (and I must admit that I have reservations about this) but in practice, in this instance, it is done well through the Dirac programme, and the whole system is sonically welll enough balanced to sound credible to a critical listener such as me."

VERDICT - Electronically equalised amp, and speakers for multimedia use that give fine results at a low price. Clever stuff.

FOR - 

- variable filters to accomodate differing environments

- good stereo imaging

- analogue inputs

AGAINST -

- supplied speaker cable gets you going, but little more

The XTZ MH-800 DSP was awarded 5 globes, the highest mark.
