Elac BS41 Bookshelf speakers @ Amazon $69.77

I was skeptical to buy these speakers, but I decided to give them a try as these are Elacs and they are cheap. These speakers are just amazing. They are small, dynamic enough, and have good bass. They are a bit dark on the top end, but overall they sound amazing for the price. I've used many expensive speakers, and these should cost way more than the price they are selling at. These are perfect for a desktop setup and play perfectly fine on my SMSL A12 amp. Highly recommended!

These are the specs (Missing on Amazon):
Model: Elac BS41
4" Polypropylene Bass Driver
1" Cloth soft Dome Tweeter
Frequency Response: 48 - 35000 Hz
Nominal/Peak Power Handling: 40/80 Wpc
Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms
Sensitivity: 84db
Crossover Frequency: 2000Hz
Dimensions: 6.6" x 10.9" x 8.9"

Absolutely. But remember that they have low sensitivity, so they will be harder to drive.

Yes, it does. Quality is on the low side.

I haven't heard these but I reckon they would be excellent surrounds and elevation speakers. That's straight where my mind went. I'm doing a basement quick and dirty sim racing rig build right now and these are screaming at me to use for my surrounds. Heck, even mains based on OPs comments!

Huge upgrade for anyone using their
internal tv speakers.

What's a similarly svelte, good not too bulky way to power them. Wouldn't expect to find a deal coincidentally at the same time, just what to look for

Great idea, how do I hook this up to my TV and the additional cost of other equipment to set it up?

Tried these for a week and returned them. I know sound is subjective but these speakers aren't good at all. Very plain. And I have to disagree with the OP here-- hardly any bass. Any of the older AJ Pioneer bookshelves that were similar in size and around this price range (e.g. BS21-LR) are superior to this one. Even at this price not worth it-- just save your money and look for future deals on better speakers.

Sound is absolutely subjective. When you say plain, I guess you are talking about the top end. I did mention that they are dark. Also, quantifying bass is hard. Bass-head will surely need a sub. For someone like me, the bass is more than enough on my desk setup. I actually have turned the bass down to keep it in check.

These are just 4" woofers in a small cabinets. So, we have to think in that sense. They can't fill a big room with sound, but they are absolutely good sounding set of speakers for my taste in a near-field or small room setup.
