    Good pick up! I bought these for 500. Very good Speakers but a bit large. I use this for home theatre instead of stereo.

  • arkasun on 24/09/2021 - 07:55

    Are there any audioengine HDP6 on special? Really trying to find something under 500.

    • pennypacker on 24/09/2021 - 08:37

      $411, special deal for you. Under $500.

    Passive? Active? Amp required?

    • swalloweda on 24/09/2021 - 08:10

      Yep, you'll need an amp. Fantastic speakers for the money.

      • HD9990 on 24/09/2021 - 08:37

        Any amp recommendation?

        • ONEMariachi on 24/09/2021 - 10:08

          What's your budget?

          Edit; should also ask, what do you want to use it for/plug it into?

    Getting in before someone asks how these compare with Edifiers??

    • HD9990 on 24/09/2021 - 08:40
      +1

      Really curious, honestly..

      Currently using Edifier s2000v2 for tv, one 3.5 cable and sorted.

      Consider upgrading the this but it seems likei will need an amp as well. So maybe an upgrade around 1k?

      My Edifier cost me around 300. Would this sound…. Say 2 times better? As a tv speaker?

        You don't need WhatHifi award winning bookshelf speakers for a TV.

      • onlinepred on 24/09/2021 - 09:54

        I had the S2000 and got the S3000pro, which was a huge upgrade for TV/Movies. These bookshelf speakers though are more for certain music performance.

  • HelpfulMilk on 24/09/2021 - 08:10

    How does the bass compare with these units vs others with a dedicated subwoofer?

    • harro112 on 24/09/2021 - 08:47

      5" bass driver bookshelf speakers will never be able to come close to the level of bass a sub can deliver

    • MrChadley on 24/09/2021 - 08:59

      I have 6.5" bass drivers on my bookshelf set and while the bass is there you don't really feel it so go for a sub if that's what you're really after. Also opens up a lot more options if you have a sub because you won't have to worry so much about bass performance.

      • r33tom on 24/09/2021 - 09:53

        a subwoofer is only good for sub bass. hence the name..
        your still want your speakers to provide mid bass otherwise your music will just have highs and lows and no mids…
        so having bookshelf speakers that provides good mid bass response is critical and should be considered first before you even consider a subwoofer.

        • MrChadley on 24/09/2021 - 15:20

          Yeah of course but they clearly wanted to know whether these bookshelves would do it all which they definitely wouldn't.

  • callumbolch on 24/09/2021 - 08:58

    showing as $476 - what am i doing wrong?

    $478.14 in price. Do you need a code.

    • pennypacker on 24/09/2021 - 10:08

      No, price looks like it's changed now. The Amazon algorithm strikes again. 😞

  • MagicTsukai on 24/09/2021 - 09:01

    This vs a comparable Priced soundbar?

    • onlinepred on 24/09/2021 - 09:56
      +1

      You need an amp with this also. You can't compare stereo speakers to a soundbar, as soundbars don't even really do stereo properly due to the speakers being so close to eachother.

  • congo on 24/09/2021 - 09:12

    Lowest $270.
    Was $310 in past deal (a while ago).

    I bought the speaker and Denon m40 to run it last night.

    Denon RCDM40DAB Micro Component CD Receiver - Black https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00XJRIQSY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt…

    Good price for the Denon as well if you don't need the wireless or Bluetooth capabilities. Au$398 for black delivered. While the m41 with Bluetooth is au$899.

      That's a crazy cool little receiver! I've seen the slimline Marantz components, but that's a great little form factor.

    • ONEMariachi on 24/09/2021 - 10:22

      30W output? These speakers are rated 50-125W. So you might get clipping and damage the speakers at louder volumes. Depends entirely on your use case, but worth noting.

      • whtbox on 24/09/2021 - 10:28

        Been reading and research the 3020i and m41 they seems to be able to drive it. Lots of people using this combo and it's fine.

        • ONEMariachi on 24/09/2021 - 10:32

          Awesome! Good to hear.

        • r33tom on 24/09/2021 - 10:37

          becareful as it is rated at 30 W + 30 W (6 Ω/ohms, 1 kHz, T.H.D 10 %)
          the 10% THD is what makes this a really bad amp. you probably want to run this at 50% volume to be safe.

          would have been better to get a second hand class A amplifier. there is plenty on ebay and gumtree for the same price or cheaper. your be getting 30 - 50 watts rms at 8ohms and less than 0.01% THD.

          eg: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/thornbury/radios-receivers/c…

          Power Output 2 x 35 W @ 8 Ohms
          Total Harmonic Distortion <0.15%, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 80% of rated power <0.01%, 1 kHz, 80% of rated power

          this amp will last your forever and you can hook up a chromecast audio to it and you get wifi streaming.

          your also get much better resell value down the track if you decide to upgrade.

          • whtbox on 24/09/2021 - 11:10

            @r33tom: Thanks but was looking for a whole package and still want to listen my cd collection. So going by what hifi review, seems a good choice to start playing before upgrading in future.

            But will consider to add an external amp if it doesn't sound too good, or maybe add subwoofer instead.

            @r33tom:

            the 10% THD is what makes this a really bad amp

            This does not mean what you think it means.

            The 10% THD is a way of measuring amplifier output. It has nothing to do with amplifier quality.

            Although, some manufacturers use measurements at high distortion levels in an attempt to pump up the apparent power.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 24/09/2021 - 10:38

      No idea if this is good but similar form factor https://www.amazon.com.au/Yamaha-MusicCast-CRXN470D-Compact-… for $524.47

      • whtbox on 24/09/2021 - 10:49

        I have looked into it, but they said the Denon is better in the review in term of the sound quality. But the Yamaha have better wireless capability.

  • Beyond on 24/09/2021 - 11:58

    Just a quick note that all the reviews for this product are based around the UK pricing.

    Not to say they don't sound good, but I imagine they wouldn't be award-winning if they were judged at the Aussie price.

    • pennypacker on 24/09/2021 - 12:14

      Tested at £249, which is AUD$468 today. So, if you got in early, these are even better value than the WhatHiFi review indicates 😉.

      But yeah, fair point. Not quite as good value for another $100 or $200 AUD.
