wuzzzer Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Went with the walnut finish. Thought it would look better in person than black (it does). It is slightly narrower than a Heresy and about half as deep. The sound output is awesome! I have it sitting on top of one of my Heresy IIs right now, kind of 'corner loaded' and the bass is amazing for the size! Grilling some steaks as we speak and will bring it out on our patio to enjoy some tunes outside. I could see this being a great alternative to a sound bar and many other similar applications. Of course I bought it from @MetropolisLakeOutfitters! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very nice, it's nice to have something small that's really portable and sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Nice! I've been thinking about trying out the "Three" not sure yet read a review that said it wouldn't play youtube videos (sound) but that must have been operator error? Seems most people are happy with them for what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFHSQT Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) I wonder how this or The Three would work as a center channel speaker. Since there's no speaker inputs I guess it's a non-starter for that application, eh? I've been wanting to upgrade from my 250C but I just don't have room for the 450C (or anything larger than the 250C really). EDIT: I guess with the RCA inputs you could use the center channel preouts on most AVRs but how would the performance sound versus the dedicated center channel speakers?

Depends on your main speakers. The sound is great but in my opinion not the same as a speaker designed for that purpose. Plus, apparently it has an auto shutoff feature. If you're listening to it via the provided 3.5mm headphone input it turns itself off after 2 hours. I don't believe the Bluetooth input does that. That was the only negative thing I read about The One in reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to come to grips with the fact I'll have a giant speaker sitting between my TV and console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
