Brilliant Bargain Bookshelf speakers

Advantages: Bass is deep and detailed, terrific presence, lively and engaging
Disadvantages: Mid range could be more open

Before I bought these speakers I was somewhat new to the hi fi scene having only listened to a few systems and certainly hadn't heard of this particular manufacturer. All of that changed when a friend of mine took the plunge into hi fi speakers and demoed these speakers along with four other pairs including MA, B&W and Wharfedale. After a long listening decision it was obvious they were outstanding and my friend quickly snapped them up without a ...
...was suddenly able to truly enjoy my speakers as opposed to liking the vocal range of my previous speakers but never feeling truly happy with other aspects of the sound.. The first thing that strikes you about these speakers visually is their design, it's very attractive and belies their price tag. However where these speakers really shine is in their sonic performance across all genre ranges; from rock to rap, to reggae to dance and indeed classical. ...

Review of Monitor Audio Bronze BR2

Monior Audio Silver RS-6

Advantages: Great for jazz, folk, unplugged instruments, vocals
Disadvantages: Not great for overdriven rock, big-band jazz

I bought myself a pair of RS6's for audio (not home theater). Upstream elements are a Cyrus 6s CD player and the Cyrus 8vs2 integrated amplifier. Let me say upfront that I have a peculiar room shape and the speakers have only done 30 hrs. First impressions are that they sound very good with lighter recordings i.e. jazz quartets / quintets; acoustic blues and folk; vocals. The output is natural, revealing revealing and detailed. However I was less ...

Review of Monitor Audio RS6

Arcus TC-60 Detailed and natural mid, crystal clear treble

Advantages: Powerfull bass without annoying "boom noise". Detailed and natural mid & crystal clear high
Disadvantages: None.

Arcus TC-60 is a 3 way 3 drivers, bi-wirable speaker with gold plated sturdy binding posts. Like all German made products, I find it a seriously product when I first saw it. It delivers a superb clarity of sound in all frequencies, with very high transparencies in mid range. The bass driver can produce a powerful low bass but not excessive. The quality of female singers voice is extremely amazing, I almost believed Norah Jones was actually performing ...

Review of Bose® SoundDock® Original

Small Speakers, Small Sound

Advantages: Small, lightweight, can be used with any mp3 player
Disadvantages: Sound quality isn't great - speakers not very powerful

...Morrisons. They were selling these JVC SP-A220 speaker sets for £9.99. My daughter was with me and liked the fact you could indulge in a little colour change with the sets, so I duly bought her one. The Speakers The speakers are not for those who want high quality sound - I have to state that from the off. They are, however, good for children or if you want to listen to music on the go as they are fully battery powered, taking 2 AAA batteries. ...
...the player to the speaker via the headphone jack, making them pretty universal. The mp3 player does not, however have a place to sit flush on the speakers. They are small and lightweight - measuring just over 6 inches in length. The speakers are made from silver coloured plastic, and you can change the colour tab in the middle using one of several they provide, including black, orange and red. As my daughter's mp3 player is red, that is unsurprisingly ...
