Deal Details
Front porting and relatively compact size = perfect for a desktop or a small bedroom. Solid all-around performance and excellent bang-for-the-buck (unlike SVS, cough cough).
  • 1" silk dome tweeter with wide-dispersion waveguide = smooth, accurate highs and extended high-frequency response
  • 5-1/4" aramid-fiber woofer with oversized magnet and vented pole piece = punchy bass and midrange
  • frequency response: 46-35,000 Hz = surprisingly decent bass for this size class!
  • bass-reflex (ported) cabinet with front-firing port = flexible placement against a wall or bookshelf
"People say that..." pro review: 😆

I bought the 6.5" version of these a few months ago for my turntable setup in the living room. What I liked about them was the front port, so I could keep them near a wall. Many speakers are rear ported. Also, with the 6.5 at least, there's enough bass that I don't feel like I'm missing a ton of bass, if you know what I mean. It's not my old 12" Cerwin Vega's from the 90s by any means. But, it gets the job done in a "wife accepted" way in my living room. They sound great with my collection, which is mostly 60s-90s rock and alt rock. I have these paired with an Everplay Solo for streaming, which also has a preamp for the turntable.

Very warm sound signature. If you like crispy treble....this ain't that. Front ports are good though if you need them near the wall.

I would agree & that's partially because they are still not very efficient.
Going from 4 to 6ohms didn't really do much in that regard ime.

In general, if you don't provide enough clean power, they may sound muddy.

As someone pointed out, they are this price often and that's for a reason.

Slimy salesmen hate bang-for-the-buck products because it destroys their bread-and-butter sales lie that "You get what you pay for" which means they can't upsell naive consumers out the wazoo, lol.
