Product Description

The compact, award-winning Prestige 5 home theater system features a sophisticated high-gloss black lacquer finish and utilizes exclusive technologies for an enveloping home theater experience like no other.Consisting of four Nanosat Prestige satellites and a Nano center channel, the Prestige 5 utilizes patented Omnipolar technology to disperse sound in a completely immersive 360-degree pattern. In other words, these miniature marvels perfectly recreate the experience of a live event.The simple, ingenious, saucer-shaped deflector suspended over the midrange and tweeter, called an omniguide, makes it possible. It distributes uniform tonal balance for non-oppressive sound, making the entire room the sweet spot.For increased low-frequency response, the Prestige S10 and S8 subwoofers let homeowners hear and feel dynamic music and movie content. While these models differ in driver size and power, they both feature patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, a design that eliminates surround distortion, enabling the subwoofer to play lower with greater output and fidelity.The Prestige 5 not only lets consumers enjoy a big theater experience at home, they are elegantly crafted and feature a modern, beautiful finish that adds a splash of sophistication to any room. Plus, this compact setup easily fits anywhere and in any type of environment.In addition to the Prestige 5 system's good looks and great sound, it also makes for a quick and simple purchase decision, as all five speakers are neatly bundled together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing sound from small speakers, March 25, 2009

By	PT Cruiser "PT Cruiser" (CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

I bought these speakers for my home theater system which consists of Yamaha RX-V663BL 665 Watt 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver and Velodyne DEQ-10R 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Black) I didn't have the floor space for big speakers because of the many doors and other furniture in the room but was concerned that these speakers wouldn't be powerful enough to fill our family room/kitchen combination. It's like a double room with the family room on one end and the kitchen on the other, covering about 42 x 24 feet. There are lots of windows and doors one one side which makes the room an acoustical nightmare. We have the rear speakers placed about halfway back, the length of the room.

But I needn't have worried because these speakers do a fantastic job despite their small size. I bought Mirage MS-STB-1 Nanosat speaker stands Black for the front speakers and mounted the rear ones on the wall with the mounting brackets that are included. The first night we hooked the whole system I realized that I bought the wrong Y connector to connect this subwoofer to my receiver so we had to watch a movie without it. The sound with just these speakers was still very good even without a subwoofer. Compared to the Bose satellite speakers that I had before, these were much better. I realized that the reason I couldn't hear what people were saying in the movies wasn't because we had the volume too low or just the acoustics, but because the sound wasn't as crisp and clear as it was with these speakers. I could actually turn the sound way down and still hear conversations. The sound was also great when we turned up the volume. There was a movie with a plane going across the screen and my sister was upstairs and said it sounded like the plane was going across the room, beneath the floor. She said she could feel the vibration in the floorboards. (This was the next day with the subwoofer hooked up).

The sound was amazingly realistic. There was a scene in the movie where a door was opening, far to the left of where the speaker is placed. The door sounded just like the door in our family room and it made me jump because I thought somebody had opened the door. These speakers really make you feel like you're in the middle of the movie rather than just watching it. With the previous Bose system (which I thought sounded great at the time) I would hear the sound coming from the speakers, mostly. With these Mirage speakers, the sound is just there, in appropriate places. I finally know what real "surround sound" sounds like.

Two thumbs up for these speakers. Anything that can sound great in this acoustical nightmare of a room has to be good.
