Gamers Depot heeft een review van de Midiland S4/8200 5.1 speakerset on-line gezet. De kwaliteit van de speakers is erg hoog evenals de prijs:
One of the first things that will strike you while listening to the 8200s is how warm of a sound they have, and just how powerful the subwoofer is. Midiland did an excellent job of blending the subwoofer and satellites, although in my opinion 200Hz is still too high to have as a crossover frequency. The reason is that there is still a lot of "directional" sound at frequencies above 120hz. Directional means that there is sound information that will create a "sound stage" in front of you. Low frequencies, like those from most subwoofers, are non-directional so it's not important as to where the subwoofer is placed within the room. I'm sure the reason they selected 200hz is because the 3" driver in the satellites isn't large enough to adequatley produce sounds below 200hz. Yet another reason why we can't wait till speaker makers start producing satellites with at least a 5 1/4" driver.
There is hardly anything more staisfying then launching your favorite game, running your 3D API of choice and being fully imerrsed into the game by sound that is so rich in detail it is almost as if you could reach out and touch it.
