The Fosi MC351 Integrated Amplifier Was NOT What I Expected
I really appreciate Fosi Audio for sending me this unit but there's a lot of baggage with this integrated amplifier.
NOTE: The MC351 with Power Supply is $189.99 and the pre-out can be used for an active subwoofer.

    He's right on with this review. These speakers are incredible for their size and the sound that comes from them. I invited some friends over to hear a pair that I have here at home, I only played two songs and she asked her husband, "what color would he like?" They perform really well about a foot away from the wall and 6 to 10 feet apart. And with that tweeter you get the whole sound of the cymbals from the drum set not just the higher frequencies because of that lower xover point. A good speaker for $750.00!

    I just got mine. Now up to $148. I think well worth that. Are they great? No....are they very good for the money? Yep. They do a lot well, but there is some underlying harshness due to at resonance peak at about 1K. Gotta mod the crossover. I've already ordered pure copper binding post (yeah....stock ones are decent for the money but got have steel parts) and line cab w/ no Rez to dampen. Actually for such a cheap speaker, the cabinet is not too shabby. Worthy of the hype? I think so. You could do way worse. I'm using these on my desktop while I mod the crossover in my Merlins ($4k new when the company existed) And yes, even expensive speakers don't mean great.

    In your opinion, would a cartridge upgrade be worth it, and what cartridges would you consider? (Something easily installed and has synergy.) Would a Ortofone Bronze be an upgrade? BY the way, I had same problem with the center hole. I also tried to force the album on and off. Until I destroyed a UHQR album. As I forced the album off, I had to bend the album, and after that the album had a serious distortion/noise issue. I had to replace the album and buy the boring tool, which works perfectly. I had a custom acrylic cover made.

I have two questions please. 1) The speakers will be in my basement sitting on a carpet and pad concrete floor. Do you suggest/advise to use the Spikes? 2} What do you recommend for best Banana Plug? I've been using the Locking type, insert the wire, secure with two set screws, insert the plug, then turn a knob to expand and lock in place. If you recommend something better please let me know? Thanks, Tom

    no sadly they are not, as much as I love them, we have to admit that the current and future King of entertainment is streaming. If there's ever a resurgence like vinyl has enjoyed, it will be minimal at best. That being said for years I wished that something like DVD Audio or BD Audio (aka High Fidelty Pure Audio) would have replaced the ancient format (and caught on mainstream) - the possibilities there would have been truly incredible for music fans!

    Be wary of this company and either the return or price guarantee. They start counting days the minute your order and not when you actually receive the product. So if it takes 7, 8, 9 or more days you only have the days of the 30 from the moment you order and not a full 30 days in your possession, sadly I like the subs I received but I will not do business with them again for not honoring a price guarantee using the above example. Good product, but terrible policy/customer service.
