I had placed myself on the preorder list for the Onix Reference 100 about a month ago but was told I was #15 in line to get one of ten. Didn’t think I would get one beings they are in high demand now that the new strata mini has just come out and folks are picking these up for the center.

Well I get sent tracking info today and low and behold….the ref100 is on its way! Now I previously had one of these beauties in my possession and let it go with the idea of changing up the system in home. Well I decided to snag it again.

Beings I already have a pair of the AV123 Reference 1s and Reference 3s this will be a matched center for either set.

Like the AV123 RSC200 this center can belt it out for movies but is incredibly at home for music, DTS audio and DVDa. The ref 100 is just plain beautiful to listen to. It does have fairly good bass extension but really excels in the mid to high frequencies. Very smooth mid range and detailed highs. Male voices sound like, well men, and the same for female vocals. The sound is very realistic, not bloated nor is it lost among the mains.

Though this is not the biggest center on the block its no wimp either. At $850 this center sounds better than its price. The ref100 can go toe to toe with either the ref1 or the burly ref3 and not skip a beat.

The reference 100 does not lack anywhere unless you have a really large room. Then it is time for the 70″ wide ref200….but that will be another post:)

As the technology is developing every day, demand of standard color tv is decreasing because most of the people are switching to home theatre systems. The digital audio cable is used in sound system and the demand of this cable is very high.
