On the Bench
Here are Impedance - Phase plots for each
speaker. The Phase stays within +400 and -600 for all
of them. The Impedance could be classified as 6 ohms nominal. Switching
between bipolar and dipolar for the surround speakers changed their
plots only a very small amount.
Conclusions
This is the kind of performance I had hoped to
hear from the Atlantics, and they certainly delivered in spades. Together,
these six speakers time and time again transformed my room into another place,
transporting me to another world with their capabilities. The best teams
are made up of members who all know their roles, and contribute in their
own way to make the group more than the sum of its parts. This statement
applies perfectly to the 8200e system. It is only through their
collaboration that you get such a wonderful 360 degree field of sound that
will keep you happy every time you sit down to enjoy a movie or an album.
