Great Sound & Value for the Price

2026-01-27    -Dave Neary

These speakers are top notch for the price of under $100 a pair.Very pleased how they enhance the sound of my other pair of speakers.4 speakers better than 2!!!!!!And they come with good quality wires (thick) to attach from speaker to receiver/amplifier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mmm, ok. Not bad, not bad at all.

Good quality speakers and a really great price. Well packaged so that they arrived undamaged. I was surprised that they came with speaker wire. They have posts on the back to connect up the wire so you can used the gold plated plugs. The posts also unscrew to expose a hole in the post that will accept bare wire. The only issue I came across is that the speaker wired included with the speakers had a soldered tip. This tip was too short to make a reliable connection so I had to clip that bit off and strip off longer bare wire.They are compact and should fit almost anywhere. The sound is rather nice. I started them off with some Debussy for a while then switched to some decent Chicago Blues. They performed well for both. It’ll take a few more hours to break them in but I’ve noticed that the more they get used, the warmer the sound. The bass is there but they won’t be thumpa-thumpa window shakers.Really good value for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarity!!

Paired these with an amplifier, these are Great speakers for the price.I might replace my home theater speakers with these in future.

I needed these after my old powered speakers died. I have a yamaha receiver and I plugged these into the main l/r and they sound great. I turned on an old Blader Runner mp4 and couldn't be happier.I really appreciate a well engineered and thought out product. The connectors can take either a banana plug or just speaker wire, which they provide. No problem identifying the l/r as the wire is color coded and stripped and tinned on the ends. The jacks unscrew to reveal a small hole to put the wire through, easier than trying to wrap it around, which you could also do. The terminals are even on a bit of an angle to make it easier.I got the wood finish, and they look fabulous. Nice setup for hanging them all the wall also and the front covers can come off, just like my $3000 JBLs on my other system.These can also serve as a nice pair of surround speakers. The price is so great I might buy another pair and use one for a center speaker.I did add a bit of eq from my receiver, to boost the high end, but no distortion. I don't play them very loud, as I've left my hippie days behind, but they did take a decent volume level.All in all, a great purchase.

Good value for money speakers. Remove grills when listening at all times!

I would rate these speakers 8/10, so 4 stars. They could look & sound better, tho still not too shabby. The brown wood version looks much better than the black. They are actually quite small got a 4 incher and and I'm using them aside my monitor, serving my my multimedia PC (games/movies/music) and running off a pretty good Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard. Pairing them with with a cheap but pretty decent China class D amp, and the whole setup can get very loud. Need to temper the volume to keep it getting out of control hah. I do not intend to get a subwoofer and my amp doesn't allow for it anyway so these two speakers will have to handle everything.Someone mentioned without the grills it would sound better. I took of the grilles and lo & behold, yes, LEAVE them off!! 1 star off for the fact the grills hobble the sound so bad they shouldn't have even designed them! Instead of a minimalist wooden frame, they use thick plastic in a criss-cross pattern that block/muffle tons of speaker sound!Soundwise: Highs - good, good. Mids - a bit recessed and undefined. Just gets worse from here. Lows - I guess mid to semi-low bass is where these speakers end as they won't go further (their spec is only 55hz). Bass is a bit humpy but present & decent. Still ok, really. Probably the reason why subs exist hah.The bass capability reminds me of my previous pair, the Audioengine A5, which though sounded better, were much more expensive and were 50w speakers. You'll need to tweak the EQ for more pronounced bass; leaving everything alone, you might feel the bass really leaves something to be desired. My last speakers I used a lot was a cheap SG branded SonicGear Titan5 2.1 system ($25) and the bass produced on the sub was really low and could be felt, though for the price, the sound quality overall was barely passable for gaming.With the Chinese amp I got, the price made it up to exactly S$100, which I think is value for money. I'm considering a Chinese preamp now (as u can see I'm totally on a budget) which will take the price to a high $150, which is probably where I'll stop at for this audio system.Finally, will just close one eye if it doesn't hold up as long without the speaker grilles on as they were only S$77! My last pair, the Audioengine A5s were S$550 and they had no speaker grilles whatsoever and the rubber on the woofers turned white after 5 years, either way! Even if this does change colour, it's ok as the price was very affordable!Long-term usage addendum: I'm keeping this as a 4 star review as I think the sound is worth more the price I paid. This is my first pair of passive speakers, btw and my foray into the world (or endless pit, depending on perspective) of audio separates. I have bought a lot of other speakers/equipment since then. But I digress. You have to compare price to performance and a S$77 speaker to others in its ballpark. Also, I tested it several times in my living room's Pioneer receiver and the speaker really shoned and wowed the pants off me. So it really is capable of a lot, provided with with decent/good amplification. So to finally sum up: if you have space and room in your life for another budget, bright & treble forward/detailed speaker with ok bass and mids AND you don't mind going grill-less then get this! Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good looking set of cheap speakers

2026-01-01    -Wiseguy

These are a real nice looking set of little speakers, good quality drivers, decent build for the case. Wasn't to happy with the sound quality but not bad. I opened them up and there wasn't much of a cross-over, just the typical cap on the tweeter and the 3" woofer was getting full range, no sound deadening what so ever. I had a set of Nakamichi car cross-overs which I installed and packed in some fiberfill and they sound great. Can not believe the bass out of these little speakers and the highs are perfect. Nice set of little speakers, with a little fiberfill they will be even better. If you want to mess with a cross-over better yet!
