Ok I love my tunes as much or more than anyone and I’ve always had a great stereo. Unfortunately at this time in my life I need to consider family and neighbours before my hedonistic tendencies.
I’m looking for a good to great wall speaker…something maybe like those boss cubes? It needs to have enough bass as I won’t have a footstool bass thingy pumping in the corner…
I need 4 and they’ll ne driven by a Yamaha AX-396.
I’ve put heaps more through this amp so it’ll manage the job.
ps no surround sound recommendations please…this is just about small, great sound, up high and inconspicous speakers…that crank!!!
As you didn’t specify a budget, if I was in your shoes I would not go past Krix’ ‘Equinox’ or Redgum’s ‘Manna’. Both of these speakers would be quite happy without a subwoofer, but still rock your house party.
Why four though? Do you have a quadraphonic turntable and a copy of Tubular Bells?
I have been running them for a few years for my TV, music, PS3. They are awesome… super clear and out performed so many other speakers double the price. I think they were about 1k at Domayne.
I know you said no surround sound. But I have them set up so all the sound is coming from the front (only because of lack of mounting options).
Im sorry but you cant have small speakers and bass. There is no replacement for displacement.
Also I wouldn’t go near a small speaker/sub woofer combo in a million years. They have no mid range and thats where most of the magic happens.
I’d recommend hitting ebay or HiFiExchange or similar. Find a good 3 way 70’s speaker. The value for money in the second hand Hi Fi market is huge. You should be able to do very well for $800
Have a look in the <a href=“http://www.stereo.net.au/”>stereo.net.au</a> private classifieds forum – there’s generally some good bargains. There’s a guy selling a pair of Heybrook HB2s for $500, they seem to review reasonably well.
You’ll get much better sound if you buy fewer speakers with your money. You might think you need four speakers now, but if you buy two decent ones you’ll wonder why you ever thought more was best.
