Home Cinema | House System 1

MK 950 speakers provide the same quality and consistency of sound as the studio proven 150 systems in a more compact package. Utilizing the exact same drive units found in their professional monitors guarantees the detail and dynamics that is the signature of all MK loudspeaker systems.

The use of three identical front speakers is the only method of guaranteeing perfect panning across the front soundstage of a surround system. As true satellite speakers the 950 front speakers provide accurate in-room response whether they are placed against walls or free standing in the room. A phase focused crossover ensures the most even off axis response so that good sound can be enjoyed throughout the whole listening room.

A wide choice of studio proven subwoofers provide deep, accurate bass response while patented Tripolar surround speakers combine the detail and localized information in the best lossless recordings with the envelopment of a dipolar speaker for a seamless 360 degree soundstage.

Blu Ray: Oppo BD 103 region free Blue Ray player - £500

Oppo Blu Ray players provide the best picture and sound quality available. This player has been modified to provide superb Blu ray performance from discs from any region while also getting the very best from DVD’s. It’s also great for digging all the detail from SACD 5.1 recordings - reference quality source components have never been so cheap!

Projector: JVC X 35 projectors - £2,899

In the past it cost a fortune to create top quality projected images. JVC have changed all that with incredibly bright, high contrast projectors such as the X35. A true three chip 1080p design, when correctly set up and calibrated with our high gain, 3D ready screens the results are nothing less than superb. This projector provides great 2D and 3D images.

Screen: Seymour AV, high gain projection screen £1,395

The correct projection screen is essential to achieving both the best picture and sound quality. With a large screen it is essential that the centre speaker is perfectly located behind the centre of the screen so that voices come from the actors not below or above them. To do this correctly requires a woven screen material that allows sound to pass while reflecting light back. Until now woven screens have been very expensive while reducing picture brightness and detail. Seymour AV screens are high-gain so pictures remain bright and detailed while sound quality is assured. We highly recommend a viewing of this Blu Ray player, projector and screen combination – you’ll be knocked out by what you see!

Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR818 - £995

Onkyo Receivers provide an unbeatable combination of performance and facilities to act as the heart of any audio visual system. Onkyo power amplifiers are a great match for MK satellite speakers which are used in the design and development of Onkyo surround systems.

Front Speakers: MK 950’s - £1,740 for three

These are MK’s finest ever single tweeter design. Using the same drivers found in the active 150’ these speakers are a superb choice for both music and film reproduction. If you considering floor standing speakers and don’t believe compact satellite speakers can provide the same power, quality and musical performance, these are the speaker that will convert you to “the choice of professionals”.

Surround Speakers: MK 95Ts – £995 for two

These are the Tripolar surround sound speakers to match the front 950’s. With the same drivers as the LCR950’s these new speakers are one of the finest surround speakers’ available thanks to their unique, patented dispersion pattern. Ask for an audition of any Tripolar speaker and you will hear a better combination of envelopment and detail than any alternatives.

Subwoofer: MK 1250THX x 1 - £995

Recreating deep accurate bass is one of the hardest things to achieve in any room. The most consistent, high quality way of achieving this is with a subwoofer that can be placed and adjusted to perfectly match the acoustic properties of your listening room. The THX approved 1250 provides the detail and articulation for the best music reproduction with the deep powerful bass required for enjoying film at its best.

Installation Includes:

Surface mounting of all cables and speakers, projector and screen. Video calibration optimised to Digital Video Essentials standards.

 

System Options

Option 1: Stealth Option

All our house systems use compact satellite speakers that are designed to be used with separate subwoofers. This is how professional surround systems are designed as this approach provides the most consistent performance in any room. The in wall version of the speakers we use provide near identical performance to the in room speakers. For the highest quality sound with the most discrete installation these in wall system are the perfect solution. Please note additional installation charges typically apply.

Option 2: Motorised Screens

Our motorised projection screens are simply the best available. Acoustically transparent screens are essential to allow the perfect placement of the centre speaker. Our screens use the only woven fabric that doesn’t sacrifice picture brightness or sound quality. Where motorised drop down screens are required our screens are also unique in using a matt fabric velvet border to frame the picture for the highest contrast images available.

Option 3: ISF Video Calibration

Where rooms can be darkened our combination of Blu-Ray player, projector and screen will give the best possible performance. All video systems are calibrated to Video Essentials standards but where optimal video quality must be ensured, we provide ISF video calibration using state of the art test equipment.
