Yes this is indeed my components. Its a UK brand and like almost all other European brands it believes in sound quality and is very good for soft music , blues , jazz etc. Not bad for rock too.

baburajji where did you procure your mutant and sansui equipment? honestly, by the power ratings (40w nominal) mutant speakers seem ok, but they dont seem better than polk or jbl or nakamichi speakers!! but its your preference. if you gave us prices we could compare them to the products mentioned above, in that pricepoint. wouldnt want to just draw conclusions as to which is better without listening to them though :-)

[harry10]

Interesting conversation going on.
Never heard about mutant myself honestly.
Are they available for audition anyone in Delhi around?

[jithudigitised]

May be baburajs is the first one in team-bhp to procure and install mutant speakers. Congragulations mate and thanks for introducing us to a new product.

Can you please share the price details of the components,so that we can know what price range they rule.

Also please share some pics of speakers and installations.

[sujitm]

[karankapoor]

i have heard of Sansui woofer.. i went to a dealer in chennai to find the rates of woofers and he said that if i was looking for a good cheap deal i should go for sansui woofer with rookwood amp (honestly never heard of rockwood) the sansui is a 800watts Sub i guess. he said that with fitting and box it would cost me somewhere around 6K.

but i went for a better deal.. JBL Cs 1250 Sub with JBL Gt5 A402 amp for an impressive price of about 6k excluding the box and wiring.

I do not think mutant as a very big name in the small world of ICE. It will be like some one or two many show importing good from the far-east and selling it. The products on the website does not like to be of any good quality.

It is my personal opioion cannot comment on the sounding of the same.

About Sansui I have read in few place but have not seen there stuff till now...

Sansui SM-4000

And according to the above site all the amps are made by PPI (Precision Power)

My Uncle still uses his Sansui Separates deck complete with a separate pre and power amplifier, CD player, Cassette player(gone kaput),AM/FM Tuner connected to a pair of BOSE 301 Bookshelf Speakers and it still sounds Heavenly after 18 years of usage, But never seen a Car subwoofer from Sansui,though.

PPI itself is considered a producer of quality amps, no?

Umm. Wow.

Don't relate my comment to a judgment of those speakers because I have never listened to, read or heard about them, but I really wonder what is the research are of the prof- acoustics or marketing?

BTW, their site also mentions that Mutant brand is owed by company called "Armour Automotives" (Armour Auto [In-car Audio & Visual Entertainment Distributors]), which also owns many other brands. Out of them, I had heard about only two- Kicker and Orion. Don't know why there are so many "umbrellas" in audio industry that own many different brands (hope it is not like Delhi/Chennai based "manufacturers" that sell same Chinese imported stuff with various names!)

I dont know about that but the speakers sound much better than polk and JBL. For me the sound quality is as follows in ascending order JBL->Polk->NakaMichi->Mutant

I gave 16K for the components + SubWoofer (With Amp).

The break up will be like 9K for the components + 7 K for the subwoofers.

May be you will tell me that its very costly. But I really liked them after auditioning all the four in the same car.

Mutant is slightly better than Nakamichi and way ahead of JBL.

My speakers are on the door pads so cannot take a photo. Let me see if I will be going to the shop where I got them , then I can take a photo and post it.

Please check this link. These are my speakers

maybe if you give an incentive to the shopkeeper that if he allows you to take photos of the components, you might get him more prospective customers. why not try getting photos? for all you know, people here might want to buy these after looking at their quality. a few photos of the amp and sub atleast, since they are not hidden. and the tweeter and crossover too! since even they might not be hidden
