T3.com Radius R one HD review
The Gadget Guru's at T3.com have listened in on the Radius R one HD and here's a snippet of what they had to say...
"Designed simply for those simply wanting to reduce the number of speakers in either a 5.1 or 2.1 set-up, the R one HD is not your average soundbar."
"Surround sound can only be gotten from adding rear speakers (such as the matching R45HD rear bookshelf speakers, £190 per pair), and our sample also came with an active, wired Radius 370HD subwoofer. Fitted with three-inch Gold C-CAM dome tweeters and four Metal Matrix Polymer driver cones, the R one HD can be wall-mounted using fixings in the box."
"Despite it doing the work of three home cinema speakers, this speaker-excels. It won't impress as much in over-large home cinema, of course, but in our medium-sized test room (about 15x15ft) we were able to discern impressive separation in a multichannel mix."

"...And oh those tweeters! Monitor Audio have a had a lot of experience
with metal domes, and these were a joy to listen to...the MA’s had
speed, grip and insight in spades – without a hint of harshness. It’s
safe to say that I can’t remember hearing a better treble performance
from a pair of £300 loudspeakers..."

Rich Sound in a Small, Elegant Speaker System
"...the finely polished real wood veneer, gold-plated binding post
speaker connectors and excellent fit and finish, the mini Monitor system
exudes quality...the Monitor Audio R90HD speakers sound like a larger
bookshelf speaker and comfortably blend into almost any room decor...the
subwoofer sounded full and deep...the mini-Monitors easily reproduced
the wide dynamics...the R90HD mini Monitors will decieve the eyes, but
not the ears. They're small enough to be virtually invisible but with
their fine finish, you'll want to place them where they can be seen and
appreciated...with sound that matches and exceeds many bookshelf
speakers...I heartily recommend them!

"Stylish, discreet and flexible design; very clear, solid and large
delivery; awesomely authoritive subwoofer...the old Radius range was
great but this new HD system is even better!"
