Setting all of the Unisound DAC1.5 speakers to small and crossing them over at 80Hz, I began my movie watching sessions with the DAC1.5C center channel speaker located below the display but angled up at the listener. Star Wars Episode I Attack of the Clones was used for most of the movie listening evaluation.

I found the Unisound speaker system blended well together. Though it was a bit sibilant and compressed, it did convey good vocal clarity and enveloping effects, especially when sitting in the hot seat. Sitting to the extreme off axis areas, I found moderate lobing from the center channel. These issues were greatly exacerbated with the Mi-Horns installed - which is why I don't recommend them in multi-listener environments at all. Obi Won Kenobi's voice was clear, but a bit tinny sounding at times. Of course I am used to listening to center channel speakers costing 3-5 times more than this entire speaker package, so I am likely being a little overly critical here. In any event, these speakers did a commendable job with home theater.

The Mi-Horn accessory product was a bit of a mixed bag from my experience. While they did increase speaker efficiency, and helped focus the sound, they did so at an extreme penalty to speaker off axis response, imaging and soundstage. Increasing loudness at the expense of adding compression is usually not a desirable design goal for critical music listening or home theater. On the other hand, it's a very reasonable trade off for sound reinforcement applications where achieving maximum SPL is a primary goal. Given the fact that these speakers are relatively dynamically limited to begin with, this may be a practical solution for situations where higher SPL is needed for party type environments.

The Unisound DAC speakers maintained good composure if not driven beyond their means and utilized in moderately sized rooms. Don't expect them to take the place of a full fledged multi thousand dollar speaker package. However, they do offer a great alternative to a cubed system or typical department store junker, and at only a fraction of the cost. Considering their value and flexibility, whether you subscribe to the Mi-Horn technology or not isn't the point. These speakers are a bargain at their asking price. Consider the Mi-Horn accessory a novelty item to be used within the confines I defined in this review.
