Orbitsound T12 soundbar

A bit of clarification

Adrian: All things are relative: This product does have good Bass performance for its price range and configuration. I have never and would never describe myself as an Audiophile.

One speaker: Clearly year we are talking about one speaker enclosure here. Stating the article is inaccurate because there is more than one driver in the array, misses the point, you get stereo sound from the one enclosure, which means less positioning issues.

Ben: We try to use a wide variety of content to test kit, obviously this gives us a good idea of the unit’s all round capabilities. I am a bit confused as to why you think the clip we ended up highlighting has anything to do with who the item might be suitable for. It might be suitable for the type of person you describe, it might also be suitable for my Granny to enjoy her copy of Brief Encounter on. The point is it produces sound well.

Also just for the record I have no idea what 'absolute fantasy' is, some sort of computer game presumably, personally I never made it past Galaga. I also do not have smelly socks or live permanently in a bedroom. If it’s important to you to imagine the person writing a review, then you will have to do a lot better than that to get even close. I think maybe its back to the intuitive drawing board for you?

Re: I assume someone on the Reg staff ...

Re: I assume someone on the Reg staff will be able to explain in what ways the data differs if it's transferred to hard drive first rather than being read off disc as it's played. If by this you mean that the sound can’t be better from the hard drive as opposed to the CD playback because the information is the same, then I would say that on any CD player there is some interference to the sound caused by the internal workings of the unit. The hard drive has less of this and so it sounds better when played back in that way on this machine because there is less interference. The information itself is of course the same, but the way it is delivered is different, therefore there is a difference in quality. The people at Arcam when designing your CD player will of course have put much thought into combating this very problem. Incidentally there is new software version available for the machine (on all new models and available to existing users) which does improve the CD playback. Lewis.
