And you need more power to play lower frequencies at the same dB. It's the reason why, if you look at frequency response plots, you'll find that all but the most powerful and expensive speakers drop off well before 20hz. Most speaker manufacturers will list the frequency response ranges at +/- 3 or +/- 6 dB. There's no way this is following those same practices and is rather dishonest. This can probably play 20hz, at -40 dB or lower, which isn't particularly helpful.

Yes I just figured that out. Logged back in and it worked thanks… am tempted to order 2 but it's getting really hard to keep hiding this stuff from my wife.

"Oh honey we've always had these" only works so many times
I did that and I'm still getting the $6 fee...

edit: got it, didn't click on "use this address"

This is an incredible deal for a bookshelf system or computer "studio monitors" (you'll probably need EQ to flatten the Frequency Response). The only thing it is missing is XLR, but you won't find that anywhere near this price.

My mediocre Taotronics desktop Soundbar cost more than this, and is nowhere near the same quality. Insta-buy.

Full range speakers at $35? I do believe this is a good deal. But 20hz claim makes me laugh. How close do you have to be to hear sound of 20hz?

Excuse my ignorance, but can you just plug these in to an outlet, hook them up to each other with the speaker wire and they'll work via Bluetooth? Nothing else needed?

I recall some negative feedback on last deal but I'll take my chances. I was just looking at my Echo Flex that is still new in the box. Funny how that works.

Make sure you log into your Prime account.
What negative feedback exactly?

These are probably very acceptable speakers for the price.

That said, AmazonBasics is notorious for ripping off other products and making cheap, inferior versions. Effectively, this is like buying a cheap Chinese knockoff, in this case of Swans M200/Edifier speakers. Buying these just make Amazon richer off the back of smaller, independent, higher quality manufacturers' designs.

Try searching "amazon peak design ripoff" for another great example.

I guess these can't be used with a audio receiver based on the pics. The main speaker doesn't have an input that can be used to connect to a receiver. These would otherwise work great as independent stereo speakers. Great price.
