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 ...

Review of JVC SP-A220 Portable Speakers

Excellent Sound Quality

Advantages: Excellent Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Weak Design

I've had these speakers for over a month now and am very happy with them. The sound quality is superb and has just the right mix of Treble and Bass which I find is a major drawback in most cheaper Ipod speakers. I host a large amount of party's in my house and finding speakers which are able to go to a high volume without depleting in sound quality has been a difficult task for me. I shopped around on Google for a while and found a good deal on these ...
...bit too much for these speakers but the internet does host some great deals. The only criticism I do have with the speakers id the design is a bit flimsy. After just a month the docking station has already come slightly loose and I've only moved it around once or twice. I greatly recommend these speakers to anyone but do watch out for the loose docking station. ...

Review of Bose® SoundDock® Original

Wharfedale are sonically superb

Advantages: Open expansive sound, tight and punchy, can site close to walls
Disadvantages: Lacks the power of some speakers but given the price this isn't an issue

The Wharfedale 9.1 has now been eclipsed by the new series 10.1. However this is by no means a reason to overlook this speaker and instead it offers the potential of picking this up at a bargain price. This is indeed what dealers are now looking to do in their bid to offload the speaker. The speakers while certainly not unattractive, are not the most stylish however this is only an observation and not a fundamental issue as far as I am concerned. ...
...definitely need to site them on speaker stands to ensure that the bass is tight and punchy. Thankfully if space is limited and despite the fact that these are rear ported, these can be situated near a back wall while avoiding the kind of boom which can go hand in hand with such positioning. This is going to be particularly useful in small rooms and provides some much needed flexibility The speakers present a clear open sound which makes them the ...

Review of Wharfedale Audience 9.1

B&W Speakers are the tops

Advantages: Sound quality and looks.
Disadvantages: Maybe would be better as wireless.

Having watched B&W gain in popularity over many years (I remember when they started), This model is something else. Passive speakers are my choice and need to be used properly, Not for the head bangers, moreb for the person who appreciates quaily music and therefore, quaility equipment. Connection is no problem, although wireless would be nice. However, they look great and deliver on all aspects. Maybe a trifle costly, but when you usnderstand ...

Review of B & W 800D

kef Q1 series, fantastic

Advantages: Good looking, detailed sound.
Disadvantages: Only that in order to enjoy these to their full potential, they must be on a good pair of stands.

General Comments I purchased my Q1's new on ebay about 2 weeks ago for £230. All in all I am very happy with these speakers, here is my review. 1. Sound Quality. I find the Q1s very detailed & transparent with vocals. Mark Knoplers crunchy gruff sounding lyrics come across with breathtaking articulation and detail, whilst Heather small from m-people sounds open, very smooth, with a good rounded warm ambience that really stimulates. If you close ...
...You will also be very surprised just how 'punchy' these speakers really are. Drum Delivery of 'private investigations' hit the chest with a formidable punch but was both overwhelming and non-lethargic at the same time. 2. Low frequencies Whilst these speakers are not heavy on the bass, they can still deliver a low down punch that impresses anybody fortunate enough to be listening to them. These do go low (45 Hz) and will fornicate wildly with any ...
