Not cheapest ever, but very good price for very decent passive bookshelf speakers (for the price).
They will work well and sound better than a lot of soundbar options for a TV setup, and will work well as PC speakers with a cheap Chinese amplifier.
You will need some form of amplification for these bookshelf speakers.
CamelCamelCamel.
Has anyone used these as high wall mounted speakers for atmos?
I would also like to know how people find these as satellite 5.1/7.1, and also if anyone has compared then to the Pioneer ones that are a bit more expensive when on sale
What's a decent cheap amplifier that works well with this product?
Your $100 Chinese amp on amazon.
I would suggest go for a entry level AVR(Yamaha) and set your surround system
I used this amplifier for about 12 months. With different speakers, though.
Surprisingly good considering the very low price.
Douk Audio G5 100W Bluetooth 5.0 2 Channel Amplifier Mini Digital Class D Stereo amp. $60 on Amazon.
Is there any risk with running a powerful amp with these speakers? The spec sheet says they only do 20W each, so would it be dangerous to run the amp above 40%?
Trust me , that amp does not put out a 100w. It would be more like 30.
It was pleasant sounding, well and truly loud enough and never even looked liked getting hot.
Only reason I didnt keep it is because I got a deal on an new old stock Harman Kardon amp.
If needed though, I would definitely buy another if it was needed.
Cheers.
Or use any old stereo with an output if you don't mind 2.0 sound
I have the same speakers and use a fosi audio T20 amp I bought through amazon. Drives the speakers without an issue. Spent around 100$ on it.
Maybe something like this will do the job

Great deal,
On a Unrelated note i am desperately waiting for the s3000pro to go below $600.
100% worth it mate. Incredible speakers.
yes, I am waiting,checking amazon/ebay/catch everyday.
I got a set for $560 on the eBay black friday deals. F**king phenomenal. Love them.
The Black Friday just past? I was waiting for it but didn’t see anything at that price as it was still over 600 even with discounts.
You prompted me to double check what I paid and it was actually $639. Got my wires crossed! Still worth it at that price for me
@Oz80085: Ah yes that makes more sense. Are you using them for your desktop or TV? I'll be using it with a TV so I'm thinking I'd need stands too.
@ChillBro: For TV and music (Spotify through a chromecast). Got it connected with optical. They're sitting on top of an entertainment unit. Sounds great to me.
@ChillBro: I bought it last year but found it too big for my desk, happy to sell it for $550
Used once and back in box since then
And yea, it goes so deep in lower frequencies
@Amr911: Would be interested in buying (Perth) - ordered some in last sale, but it's just been confirmed lost in the post, and now the current sales are all expired so can't reorder!
I'm not an audiophile so genuine question. Why would this be better than a standard soundbar for a tv setup? I thought soundbars are intelligent systems which bounces sound off as if you have multiple speakers for a proper surround? This only has 2 speakers. How would be beat that?
The best thing you can do is go compare the listening experience in store or at friends places. The key disadvantage of a soundbar is no matter the 'smarts' the speakers are all in the middle of your screen. You will never get the feeling of true surround with a sound bar.
Soundbars can’t even do real stereo sound as they aren’t physically to your left or right, so really soundbars are inferior in every way except convenience and visual appeal.
because soundbars dont surround
whatever they say is just gimmick
Do I need speaker wires?
Yes.
good deal
Would these be much of an improvement over the ones included with the Yamaha 5.1 home theatre package from bing lee?
sound quality is often subjective and i dont know the specific model speakers you have, but if you sort amazon reviews by most recent there is one review from Oct 16th that said it was a big upgrade over their yamahas. I bought them specifically just to see how they go, if i like them i may add more for atmos etc
Thanks OP grabbed a pair, was looking for some cheap speakers to pair with a vintage(70s) amp for ambient low level tunes, unsure how the 77db sensitivity will pair with 35watts in practice, let’s see.
OMG this deal is amazing ahhhhhhhhh
