Was $39.99 now $29.99. By Grabthars hammer, what a savings!
Speaker Features
-Dolby Digital Ready HTS
-150 Watts Center Speaker
-100 Watts x 4 Satellite Speakers
-Stereo RCA Jack Type Inputs
-Two-way satellite speakers
-Three-way center speaker
-Wooden enclosures
-Magnetically Shielded
-Elegant Style
-Easy Hook-Up
-Standard 2 wire speaker wire connector.
-Only speakers are included with this package. No wires or manuals.
Please Note: To use these speakers you will need to have a receiver or a amplifier to drive the speakers.
These would be perfect to replace your Logitech Z680 or Z5500 sets with.
OK, they come in, and have tested them with:
Nickleback
Pink Floyd Medal and The Wall in DTS
War of The World
Pick of destiny
Gorillaz
Pendulum Hold Your Color
Primus
Reel Big Fish
Tenacious D
Jewel Foolish Fames, this song really shines with the piano and her voice going through these speakers. I maxed out my Z5500 set and no crackles or poops breaking out from here voice, where the Daytons, though sounded good, would pop and crackle on the heavy parts of this song.
Against:
OEM Logitech Z680 THX speakers
Dayton Sats
Using my Z5500 and old Altec Lansing PC Sets Hooked into a Auren X-FI Forte So its not some cheap junk audio card Im using, its top shelf, top of the line
The Logitch has a built in crossover, the Lansing doesnt have a crossover AND TO MY EARS the MTS sets are pretty damn good at under $10 a speaker. The Magnet used in them is HUGE, and weighs a good amount (SEE PICTURES). With either set at full power it took it without distortion or poping with a heavy bass song. The Highs sound crisp, and the mids all well balanced with either set used.
Conclusion:
Again for around $10 per speaker they to me, IMO, are worth every penny. The Z680 sets and these are damn close, and having heard these against the Daytons, I find the Daytons to have a slight muddy sound to them when compared due to case material. These are made of WOOD, not plastic, and I find it very hard to find anything negitive to say about them testing them as I have. The only negative I can come up with, FOR THE PRICE, is the wall adapter. Sicks out little farther then I would of liked, but thats it. Removable dust covers, HUGE magnet, shielded, great sound, for $10 each its a steal. At $2000 for the set they were part of, I dont know if I would ever spend that much, but for what they are, well worth the $40 IMO.
And as if that was not enough, they come with a full set of RCA wires, speaker wires (only 3 of the 5 needed though), Female 3.5mm to rca adapter, and Male 3.5mm to rca wire. So that was a nice added bonus to find in the box for the wires will never go to waste.
So I dont think for the $40+ship price is unreasonable, even if they are "white van" speakers. I really dont think you can go wrong. If you got the extra funds and wish to discredit me, actually buy a set before you go bashing and hear them for yourself as I have. I may not work in the HT field, but I have been sitting here for 6+ years listening to music a lot, with different speakers and set ups, so I like to think I have a good ear for this. Prior to this I bought multi set ups, with name brand and generic speakers and can tell the diff between junk and good, and I would never lie about my findings. I really cant find much wrong with them, they sound great on both units.
That is all, do what you wish, I dont think your going to be upset at all, Im sure then hell not, so much so I traded my Daytons for these off my friend for they are almost hideable and makes my HT set up look clean, and have to really hunt for them as they sit in my black shelf units.
