I think that really depends on your intended application. If you are serious about a personal or multimedia home theater system, the 7100 can make for a beautiful and power centerpiece. The control module is an added incentive because of its versatility in a multimedia setup, especially if you are planning on mounting your speakers out of the way. Add to that the support for true Dolby Digital, and you know straight away that MidiLand is gunning for top dog in the multimedia home theater arena. This is a fun set that is priced as perfectly as the Boston Acoustics BA4800 and the Klipsch Pro Medias and performs to the tune of MidiLand s reputation.
Music critics are better off trying their hand at something targeted more to that market.
That alone increases the value of the set by just enough to allow it to catch up with the BA4800s. I still prefer the ease of the plastic stands that come with the BA4800s, however flimsy they may be. All rights reserved.
