Default Re: Philips 'Reverbeo' B7X14A query

In a repair I wrote up ages ago here I said:

Quote:
As for the reverb thing - well it's OK on instrumental music, and does give a sort of surround-sound effect. But on speech, or songs with vocals, it's awful! I think it's more of a novelty really - I really can't imagine that people actually used it for serious listening.

With regard to the reverb system the publicity information says:

Quote:
Electro acoustical reverberation unit gives considerable depth and spaciousness to sound stemming from radio broadcasts or gramophone records and appears to expand the dimension of a conventional room to those of a concert hall.
Slight exaggeration I think...
