Dayton B652 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair

I received these Dayton B652 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair speakers just yesterday but I played them for several hours last night. The amplifier I used is the Dayton DTA-1 Class T Digital Amplifier 15 WPC which works beautifully with them.

I used an Insignia Portable CD Player with Skip Protection, CD-R, CD-RW as my source and I played a number of classical CDs.

The sound is quite amazing for such inexpensive speakers. It would be amazing if the cost were three times their low price. No kidding!

They do seem to work best in a near-field arrangement but they also easily fill up my bedroom with fine sound. I have them placed on 24" high (steel) speaker stands (also Dayton Audio - Dayton SSMB24 24" Speaker Stand Pair Square Steel Base - but apparently not sold though Amazon), about six feet apart, and four feet from the rear wall (and more than that from the side walls).

The bass is not going to "knock your socks off" - but it is certainly not lacking either. I am pretty picky when it comes to my audio equipment and, believe me, this system, which cost less than $160.00(!) all told, is an amazing value.

If you want absolute top quality equipment and sound, you must be willing to pay commensurate prices. But this small system, which could not function nearly as well without these speakers, and still cost as little, is all most people need for normal-sized rooms. In my opinion, the sound quality from these speakers is very smooth and very pleasant. Listening for several hours induced no "listener fatigue" whatsoever.

These speakers would also be an ideal choice for a child's first sound system. He/she will appreciate the quality and, in fact, they will never "outgrow" them. Even if the child obtains "better" speakers some year down the road, that child will ALWAYS find a place for these.

At their current price, I give them my highest recommendation - and I also recommend the other components I mention; this is an excellent small sound system, one of which anyone would be proud.Get more detail about Dayton B652 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair.
