Add Your Review for the CLS9600 |
The CLS9600 is very versatile to be used at home theater gears due to its plentiful 8 outlets, enough for most applications. The most noticeable impact is on video displays whether playing DVD movieds or watching regular TV programmings. The Chang makes colors more vivid and organic, almost 3d like in some DVD movies (I was floored when watching the "Crazy in Alabama", recently). Sharpness and clarity around the objects are pretty noticeable too. Audio wise, the Chang makes the sound somewhat sweeter and also seems to lower the floor noise that lets you hear more nuances, especially in movies soundtracks. Although I admit the impact on sound not quite as pronounced as the video. I'd tried some other L/C's prior to the Chang but this is by far one of the top l/c in the market. May be the PS300 or Ps600 can be bettered? I've not yet tried the PS300 in my h/t. Any one has?
