Dayton AudioClassic B40 Bookshelf Speaker Pair (Black)

These speakers are very clear and have decent bass for the size. I like big bass, so I use them with a subwoofer. But without the subwoofer, I could hear the bass guitar in the music. They are well worth the price. They are also easy to set up. I really like the connectors on the back because I could use the banana plugs that were on my speaker wires.

these little speakers are Wonderful the sound stage is wide and encompassing in a small room, the sound is also very good for a small speaker, require a small amount of power and has a good amount of low midrange and high bass. very impressive.

I bought these for a 2.1 system mainly for music (Streaming and Vinyl) but also my TV. I wanted a simplistic and vintage style. The build quality is beyond what I had expected. The color and woodgrain blend well even with the cloth covers on. I am currently running these on a 100x2 Hi-Res streaming amplifier with optical and HDMI ARC. I was extremely curious if they had a limit of 75hz or could they audibly play lower with little to no distortion at reasonable volumes. I played a few tracks and was able to achieve a clean 40hz with no issues. Being as small as they are the soundstage and performance was outstanding and really similar to my Polk Audio XT20 Bookshelf speakers I had sitting around. All together I'd say it's 100% worth the money and best bang for your buck. Thank You!!!

Sound is clear and imaging is good. The speakers work well in a small area (10'x10') with 100 watt stereo receiver. I am very satisfied with these speakers given the cost of $60. I would expect more if I had paid $200-300, but these are great for buyers on a budget.

These speakers sound far better than any “pc speakers”, and sound as good as bookshelf speakers much more expensive than them.

Sounds very acceptable, but I have other speakers of the same size that sound much better. However those other speakers were higher priced JBL and Def. Tech.I would not purchase again, and will probably pass these to someone that needs small speakers. If you want something new for a small garage or dorm these will do nicely, especially if you get them on sale at a few bucks off. Otherwise, if you're into a more critical listening experience, it might be better to find some pre-owned small bookshelf speakers of higher caliber.

Good high frequency response and imaging. For the price it's a solid selection compared to other similar options. Trying to get low end out of them is a fools errand and what is there is muddy so temper your expectations in that regard. These can function decently in a passive multi-speaker setup that includes a sub or other full range speakers, but I would not recommend them as a dedicated pair of monitors by themselves. There are better powered options for just a little more like the Eris ones. They also take a bit of power, which was a little surprising to me. If you don't have individual speaker pair volume control then these may not be as loud as you think they ought to be - likely an advantage if you are just buying these as inexpensive surrounds or rears - that's a good application for these.

What garbage. Don't waste your money or time on these. These aren't a useful set for playing music or anything else.These are separate speakers meant to be paired with an amp, which you would have to buy separately. Realistically, this kind of setup is only for audiophiles, and severely inconvenient for anyone else. And if you're an audiophile, you'd be buying better and more expensive speakers anyway.
