Oh I’ve looked into some kefs but I’m on the Sony sscs5. I got the sscs5 M2 for around $150 on Black Friday. Considering they’re going for around $280 now, Im super happy with the performance. I can turn them up and up and not get fatigued. I am curious about the ls 50s tho but more realistically, I

CD Collectors of Reddit: What CD Player do You Use?

Cambridge Audio AXC35 I have it connected to a Fosi BT20A amp powering a pair of Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers. Good enough for me.

Buying a bookshelf-stereo system

The speakers that come with those kinds of mini-hifi systems are probably always going to be crappy. There’s simply not enough budget to get great components. For somewhat cheap but decent stand-alone passive speakers, look into e.g. these. Maybe you can find some second hand: Polk Audio Monitor XT2

65in OLED

Yeah, the speakers in those little soundbars are so small I don't see how it could have any acceptable bass. For not much more money, a good pair of powered speakers would sound soooo much better. Personally, I use the Sony SS-CS5 bookshelf speakers with the matching center channel, and an Onkyo TX-

Parlantes PC y para TV. Que suenen bien y con buen grave (máx $150.000 CLP).

Si el espacio no es un problema, para la tele un par de parlantes buenos de segunda mano y un amplificador, ya sea un receiver antiguo, o un amplificador chino (hay muchos, BBB). Parlantes busca de segunda mano, que no sean muy antiguos (onda de los 90's, a menos que sepas lo que estás comprando). B

2.1 Speaker recommendation for bass music?

Don’t think you can get speakers and a sub for that amount. But, I’ve always loved every Polk speaker that I’ve ever owned. The ES-20 will come in slightly above your budget, but sound great and deliver the best bass that bookshelves alone can in that price range. Definitely worth a look. If you wan

Why are TV series getting more difficult to watch?

Let me tell you, good speakers can be had on the (relatively) cheap: my setup is two Sony SS-CS5 bookshelf speakers that I picked up for $100 on sale, a retro Klipsch subwoofer that I picked up on Marketplace for $30, and an industrial/commercial Crown speaker camp that I picked up along with the su

For your budget, new, I think these are hands down the best option: https://electronics.sony.com/audio/speakers/home-theater-speakers/p/sscs5 That said watch your local FB marketplace, Craigslist etc for used options as you are going to get much more bang for the buck https://electronics.sony.com/au
