My first IFA: big pictures, direct conversations and real encounters. Join me at XGIMI, AWOL Vision, Hisense and JMGO – and meet Basti and his cinema project.
Tobi tests the Monitor Audio Silver 100 8G in his own home cinema, covering unboxing, build quality, its true three-way design, 8-inch bass driver, listening impressions, placement and a comparison with the Gold 50 6G. The review pair was supplied on loan by Tele-Kohlgraf; the assessment remained independent.
Tobi's mother only knew the room from its construction phase. Now she experiences the finished home cinema for the first time — from its unusual acoustics, screen and cinema seats to Top Gun: Maverick and a pricelessly honest verdict.
Tobi and Peter visit André at HEIMKINOWELTEN for a personal showroom tour featuring the XGIMI Titan, Onkyo, laser TV systems, room acoustics and the stories behind the technology.
The videos themselves are currently produced in German. This English edition gives international visitors a reliable overview and the correct original link.
