hen the price
of consumer
electronics
comes down,
it's naturally a
good thing
for anyone
looking to buy such products. But when
the quality also drops, what may seem
inexpensive might also be cheap and
nasty too. In the past few years the
entire consumer electronics industry
has seen the emergence of a new breed
of product - and it isn't always a good
thing.
It's one thing for the price to fall,
but bear in mind that you almost always
get what you pay for with hi-fi and

home theatre equipment. So when you
receive a colourful flyer from your local
discount megastore offering the latest
and greatest home theatre system for
an unheard of price, it'll probably be
best left that way - unheard.
I've tried some of these systems
when browsing the shelfs, lined with
names that you've never heard of
before and there's not a lot to
recommend most of them, other than
the low price. Allied to this though,
build quality is very suspect and sound
quality, well let's just say it's equally low.
Like it or not, this sort of price-
orientated home theatre system has
made its mark in Australia. We love our
$2 shops and plenty of people aren't
too fussed about sound or picture
quality when it comes to listening to
music or watching films either.
For those that are a little more
discerning, there are alternatives.
Recognising this, Australian
loudspeaker manufacturer Aaron's
latest AV speaker system was
developed specifically for this reason. It
wanted to offer a small and affordable
satellite and subwoofer system that still
delivered proper hi-fi performance. It's
called the MicroMax and for the very
wallet-friendly sum of $799 you get five
identical satellites, an active subwoofer
as well as a pair of trendy-looking
telescopic metal speaker stands.
Aaron has always been a brand
associated with value for money and its
designs are always well researched and
thoroughly measured and tested.

  • Page 2 It’s always nice when you’re proved wrong and in this case, I was way off the mark. Aaron has fully achieved it’s aim with the MicroMax in achieving ‘proper’ hi-fi sound. Okay, it’s hardly the last word in high fidelity...
  • Page 3 Swapping a CD for a DVD, the MicroMax system also does a credible job in 5.1 mode. There’s not the sheer dynamic scale that you get with bigger and more capable AV loudspeakers...
