Thonet and Vander VERTRAG - 2.0 Wooden Bookshelf Speakers (black, pair) - German Engineering and Design

First of all, the product (ordered a Sunday) arrived two days after the order (the Tuesday). One star only for that.This is the second time that I buy Thonet & Vander products. In the past, I bought a Fien 2.1 and I was AMAZED of the quality of the speakers: even if the weren't very powerful (but powerful enough for a normal apartment living), I could set the volume in the highest position and even there there wasn't any distortion at all. In that sense, better than Edifier speakers.This product is even better: I don't miss at all the subwoofer (after all, if you check the specs, no really I have TWO subwoofers -compare the woofer size and frequencies). The power is great and the definition of the sound is amazing.Everything comes in wood and very robust.And, obviously, let's not forget the price: they are amazingly cheap.Just two minor things to say: the controls are in the back and is a little bit annoying to equalize and change the volume. I was about to buy the KURBIS model, with more WATTS and better materials, but I finally chose this model, but the KURBIS model has the controls on one side, which is more comfortable.The second thing, a very small one, is the length of the cords: I need some extra cables to be able to put each speaker at one side of a normal couch. The power cord and the RCA - miniPlug cord are also very short.But, as I said, in general, GREAT product. Just listen the sound and you'll be more than satisfied.

I bought my first flat-screen and couldn't get over how tinny the audio was. Especially since my husband and I use it to play rain sounds while we're sleeping--it basically sounded like static.I had already figured on around $100 for some decent speakers (we're not audiophiles, I just wanted sound with some depth to it), and the reviews on these looked perfect. Got them in two days with Prime, had them setup in less than 10 minutes, and I've been very happy since.Pros:-Gorgeous wood. I was surprised by the heft these had, they feel very solid.-Straightforward wiring. One speaker has all of the ports and controls, the other just connects to that with basic wires, then you can use 3.5 or composite cables (all included).-Nice controls. We have all of the knobs around the halfway point, which is perfect for standard viewing. With the volume all the way up, the TV only needed to be set to about 5, which made it hard to fine-tune. At half, we can keep it around 15-20.Cons: None so far.I don't think I could have found better for the money. My father-in-law thought they seemed pretty decent as well, and he's heavily into music production. I'll be sure to update if I have any issues, but I expect these to last me a good while.

For the first month that I had them they were awesome, now the in-built amplifier isn't working correctly (both inputs are now at the same level, when input 1 is supposed to be higher amplification).Other caveat is that I had to buy a ground-loop noise isolator to use it with my tv, there was heavy distortion and static when using the bass and treble tone dials above the lowest setting.They state for warranty you have to register on their website; I can see no way to do so after some searching, and I can't find a customer support portal or contact details.[..will update review once I manage to contact customer support and based on their resolution of the problem..]

Not so great. Sound is very undynamic. Not a good deal. Unimpressed.
