allanwmurray Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hi everyone, i've been reading a lot of reviews on the internet and in particular youtube and i've been looking to put together a small sound package to replace my Cinema 400 soundbar as looking to use it in the bedroom. I've read a lot of good reviews on the fives, but are they on par when it comes to sound quality to the RP-500M 2's, the reciever im looking to power the RP-500M 2's is the Marantz NR1200. I'm sticking with 2 channel stereo as the sound system will be used for both TV and my standalone DJ controller. Any tips/help will be most appreciated.

wuzzzer Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 For a bedroom setup I’d go with powered speakers like The Fives if you’re sticking with two channel. They’re going to be very similar to the RP-500s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanwmurray Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I've seen a lot of good reviews on the fives, are they a good upgrade sound quality wise compared to the Cinema 400, the Cinema 400 is going to be used in the bedroom soon, what are the fives like when it comes to updating firmware as i've read a couple of people having trouble with bugs and the like. My Cinema 400 sometimes switches back on when i turn off the tv, but it's an entry level product, i got mine for £349 so isnt so much of an issue, but i'm hoping the Fives will have more solid firmware.

wuzzzer Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 They’ll be a definite upgrade in sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound fantastic, but the firmware/software is really buggy. More details here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
