[@Grevlain]

I have had these speakers for a week. They are...amazing. (And not even broken in yet.)

[@larchpine9802]

breaking in is a myth apparently

[@duaneafields]

Grevlain Hi. What model amp do you run with your Elacs? Do you use it with AV?

[@mrpositronia]

breaking in is a myth for people with impaired hearing.

[@julesbarry2081]

That's more like it, Real Hi-Fi sound without a 2nd Mortgage. Would be nice if other manufacturers followed suit.. How the heck does he make a profit on those speakers at $229??! Andrew Jones is a GENIUS!!!!!

[@daveh9474]

+Jules Barry should work for harbeth maybe we could get em for less

[@julesbarry2081]

+ipreferns ; now THAT would be nice.....

[@jordanmurrayjcm]

The guy is not a Genius but maybe he know that people are truly stupid. I mean you never heard the speakers in this vid. You hear yours. period. If your speakers were giving you the sound that those ones do then you already have these speakers. Ugh what is wrong with people? I guess the videos that show the highest resolution monitors really wow you. You cant hear anthing more then your speakers will produce. Oh and you cant taste anything on the food network unless you are there either

[@daveh9474]

jordanjcm jordan It's a hobby. And with my dac/headphones, I feel i can sense a small difference when the mic is good.

[@julesbarry2081]

Does your theory hold true if one is listening with an Audio Interface with headphones? I have heard these speakers in the flesh, and they do sound for the money a true bargain.

[@Kongen342]

Best Song ever! I have been a fan from way back when the sounds first appeared

[@brydon10]

What song is it exactly? I can't find it. Thanks.

[@rollingindadeep3676]

that's what i like with this speakers company honesty in doing business and not going deep in audiophile pocket

[@nyccrcsx]

Just got them today the sound is beautiful for 229 you will not be disappointed

[@jogmas12]

steve de melio are you sure?

[@Soknik01]

Nils Lofgren live being played through stage speakers, recorded by a mic at the venue then played through bookshelf speakers at a demo, recorded by a mic at said demo and finally played through the single 0.5 watt sub 1/8" diameter external loudspeaker on the back of a smartphone tucked inside my shirt pocket as I kneel here on the side of the road during rush hour, changing this flat tire. Something tells me I might not be experiencing this music as the artist intended.

[@Tmanaz480]

Soknik01 ...indeed. reminds me of cooking shows where they taste the food at the end.

[@Odin412z]

Nice video! I was lucky enough to be in the audience during the filming and I can tell you that the speakers sound much better in real life. Great speakers from a great designer!

[@Shieox]

Whoever added the captions is a genius.

[@brydon10]

Song: Neils Lofgren - Neils Lofgren Band Live (2002) - Bass and Drum intro (Disc 2 track 9)

[@gasolin75]

can't find it on tidal,only from 2009

[@etriganseven6042]

I love this man and this company! Sold a bunch of their speakers ! Right philosophy!!!

[@robertmarshall7712]

To those below who wonder if you need $3,000 dollars of electronics for these speakers to sound good, wonder no more. I have a Marantz m-cr603 all-in-one and they sound stunning! It took me a long time to find budget speakers as good as my 22 year-old Celestion 3 mkii, but finally these have come along and far surpass them and about ten other pairs at up to £500 that I have tried. Just sorry that Elac is not selling as well in Mr Jones' home country as the other big names. Oth, maybe it's great to be part of something so special off the radar.

[@imanaminal]

Not only does he make great speakers, He has great taste in music too.

[@narix11]

Amazing speakers for amazing price, can't wait to buy them.

[@scrowley911]

That is the best sound for $229 I have ever heard. Amazing

[@sanjayk8837]

Entry level Speaker could have demo'ed with a Entry Level Amplifier that will be practical reason to go for it.

[@tomdarrington]

A great recording of a simple composition, in a good room, with a decent amp does not exactly showcase how they are equivalent to a $20,000 speaker.

[@RennieAsh]

I'd disagree it's "20k" of sound. I've heard them, and while they are great speakers, it's not like having 20k speakers. Andrew explains everything in the video anyway. Effort goes into the engineering and design of the drivers and filter network. Building a glass fibre cone and "eagle eye" softdome speaker can be done cheap these days. These ones are more optimised and well designed :)

[@rayms3948]

Usual KZbin title, should say 2k.

[@dansantoso48]

I was in Hi end show 2 weeks ago. I listened to 250.000 system with 140K usd speaker. It was nice. Then i listened to Elac 3 ways wirh normal system and it is better than the 250K system. Elac has more soul and depth. Soundstage is not as good but it has more emotion. Good job!

[@slotslidershoslotcars]

Great speaker.. truly wonderful sounding for the price. I first heard them on the now legendary NAD 3020 amp that was fully restored and a Onkyo CP1050 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge . These are really really good speakers! I think they are just perfect for someone that wants a killer office or bedroom system . Excellent for anyone that wants a system at home that will sound simply amazing without dropping piles of cash. A perfect selection for anyone that takes there listening time very serious but can't afford or just refuses to pay more for a system than they did for there car.

[@keithdennison7379]

I have the B 6's in Walnut and they blow me away! Thank you for making a great affordable speaker.

[@rayms3948]

B6.2? Only seen B6 in black.

[@seethowaikeng7826]

@@rayms3948yeah walnut for b6.2. B6 is only in vinyl black.

[@richystar2001]

Don't think you can much improve the speakers in a high quality system unless you focus on the cabinet soundscape dynamics. But a pair of these for under 300$ WoW! This is an easy buy for sure and speakers look amazing hats off to you fine sir.

[@psych0s15]

I've had a pair of KEF Q100 5'' speakers for about 10 months and I'm seriously considering ordering a pair of B5s after I heard them at this past California Audio Show. They sound incredibly big for a small stand mount.

[@madnezz1961]

I'm getting the B6's delivered today.

[@larchpine9802]

like them? i just got a pair

[@gilberttahimartin]

bill seaberry are they Good?

[@cnnlive10]

Just a heads up. These are suppose to be released before the Fall. The Fall starts on Sept 23, so it shouldn't be much longer. You can also pre-order these as well as the other line of Debut series on the Elac Audio website in advance.

[@garyphillips7322]

I listen to high end equipment and speakers. I've been looking for bookshelfs that were close to my Paradigm Signature V8's so I could get rid of the towers. I bought the B6's along with the center channels for $479.00. Believe me listening to these on You Tube does not do them justice. They are absolutely wonderful and are close to what I have. You do not need subs with these speakers. That's correct...a pair of $279.00 bookshelf speakers are on par with a $10,000.00 pair of towers...and no I don't work for Elac. But to add to that I have the high end equipment that really makes them shine. But these are definitely audiophile quality hands down. Or better yet wait on the Uni-fis in April but they are twice the cost. Will they be twice as good? I'm spending the money to find out and maybe selling some $10,000 speakers

[@Gamez4eveR]

+Gary Phillips So are these good for Megadeth? Can they play really loud? Cause at $279 being so amazing they're bound to have some disadvantage. I am very curious towards what is now happening in the budget hi fi world.

[@Gamez4eveR]

Oliver Jones Whoa, keep your shit taste in order, kid "unmelodic" Saying that about Megadeth kinda makes me confident that you're musically illiterate.

[@ProfessorMatic]

Megadeth..... just get a pair of EV Eliminator II's and a 2Kw amp like I did.

[@gokzilla]

on Amazon there a lot of Elac b5. Elac Debut B5.2, B6.2, Uni-Fir BS U5, Elac uni-fi FS U5 ? which one is the awsome sounding ?

[@drc97086]

I have to say, the clarity and weight of the music was very good. Add the very low price, and we shall see if people have the good sense to purchase these.

[@Quietprofessional1]

Can you please post a link to the music you played with the bass guitar solo from the laughlin band. Thank you and thanks for the video.

[@1mykalfury]

For my modest 12x12 living room I'm waiting for the ELAC B4's. I saw on the website that the B4's are for sale now. Under $200 too! So, budget allowing? I'll be buying 7 of the B4's to replace my Panasonic 2 way satellites. "Z Reviews" says the B5-B6's are sonically superior to the A. Jones Pioneer BS22's. Being a subscriber to his reviews I've found him to be accurate. Add to that, tons of commercial thumbs up towards the ELACS & Pioneers. I was hoping to hear or see a review of the new ELAC B4's first, before buying all 7 speakers. Push comes to shove? I'll bite the bullet and mail order them factory direct from ELAC without a preceding review. Last Note: ANDREW JONES ROCKS!

[@jjwolf1529]

Sounds great on my 1" laptop speakers!

[@the-gn2zn]

Nice sound....unfortunately it is being powered by a $3000 Bel Canto amp. Most people who buy $230 speakers can't afford an expensive amp such as this.

[@neonRTowner]

Your are correct. And safe to say more people with $3K Bel Canto amp have something better than 2 way bookshelf speakers at this price point.

[@mdrummond194]

Not true, any amp behind speakers you couldn’t distinguish which was the more expensive. Stereo review back in the 90’s did an four page article called “tweek or geek” proving this. It was a real eye opener.

[@maxwedge7593]

You can get many quality amps on the used market for $500 or less. Adcom GFA series comes to mind!

[@TheMusicForMasses]

Any HiFi system sounds as good as its "weakest link"! The point is to get something that sounds great (personal taste) and is affordable to most of us. B5's are doing absolutely amazing job in that sense.

[@TheMusicForMasses]

The purpose of every single showroom demo is to show a capability of the product (i.e. B5's in this case), hence there is the amp "out of it's price class". Every serious manufacturer does the same to test their product in their test rooms before launching it on the market as well as showing it in A/V shows across the world. It doesn't make any practical sense to show a demo of any it with some not-so-good peripherals as it can not show the true picture of the product. Buying BelCanto amp with B5's is entirely different matter. I personally doubt it that anyone with BelCanto amp budget would go for Elac B5 or 6 but than again, that is NOT a point of a showroom demo.

[@MrHamit64]

Wow sounded real nice even threw the camera. I've heard nothing but good things about Andrew's work.

[@kansasgardener5844]

If you can make pioneers sound good you can make anything sound good.

[@toddkuykendall6030]

May I suggest you demo the speakers using Stevie Ray Vaughn's " Riveria Paradise " ???

[@utub1473]

God that track sounds wonderful

[@akila219]

show more speakers at this price range

[@akrocuba]

Neils Lofgren!!! I haven't heard that in like 30 years!!!

[@socksumi]

Nice speaker for the money but $20,000 sound? Sorry that's off the rails. I heard the B5s or B6s (can't remember which) compared to a pair of Dynaudios ($1000 Canadian) at a show in Toronto. No comparison. The Dynaudios sounded smoother, airier, more refined, better balanced, better bass, more detailed highs. The Elacs sounded a bit hooty by comparison. Of course the Dynaudios were three times the price so I would expect them to sound better... but please do not claim the B5s sound like $20,000. They don't.

[@kohnfutner9637]

They were laughing about it and being facetious.

[@kaivrock]

I think the point they're making is that the curtains' been pulled back to reveal the wizard meaning that cheaper technology and skillful research by guys like Jones have made high quality/ low cost speakers easy to manufacture. Paying $800 for vintage Sansui speakers on Ebay is probably stupid when you can get something maybe even better for less than half the price. And were talking 50+ year old Ebay speakers.

[@jorgemartin5093]

The sound demonstration u used it wasnt complicated for those speakers to reproduce. It wasnt heavy music passages or more dinamic textures. Its only a tap bass player style sounding metallic as it is. Put an orchestral music with a lot of instruments playing at the same time. Im sure your pricey amplifier will do its best but im not sure those speakers. Im using at home a pair if Tannoy Cheviot in very very good condition but im playing them with a Yamaha ax 492 stereo amplifier wich is a shame...but in quiet and not a lot of sounds in a song they sound amazingly good. I have to change my amplifier. I saw a Jaqin valve amp but im not sure...ita chinese stuff. I dont trust. Anyway in Buenos Aires where i live in these times theres not many good things we can get like in the past or in the 90s.

[@chubbybeng]

Mr. Jones looks a lot better too. Less worn and tired...fresher and healthier looking. Maybe Elac is a better fit for him.

[@burnoutstef865]

Really Nice!! But 85db, 4ohm? You need a tank to drive them to sound their best?

[@MyIDIsNotAvailable]

Yeah. That's what modern audio came to. It's tools for checking sounds. Throw music at it and it's unlistenable.

[@wim1983]

How forgiving are these speakers playing some old classic recordings? Or need to match with musical preamp to filter some extra details?

[@jesushuerta9878]

Many audiophiles have them and say that speakers are delicated ,meaning that if you look for heavy duty use for soundslike heavy metal or rock , you need to add a good subwoofer .But in general this set of speakers is not for everyone.

[@fifimombo8728]

waouh !!!!!! What this refence of Bel cant amp ? and what Speaker Cables used here ? Please

[@Beyondabsence]

I listen to a lot of classical piano music and orquestral. Low volume. Are there, or B6 good for what I've described?

[@bonnieclyde5318]

What setup is being used for the source? It appears he's either streaming from the iPad (seems unlikely) or he's using it as a controller.

[@boriken395pr]

Good work Andrew! Congrats!!:)

[@iThoughtUHad2Bitch]

I was gonna pick up a pair of these but I seen the KEF Q100 is the same price now so I'm going with those instead :D

[@mail2ted]

I'm curious as to the Sound Stage and what size Room is optimal for these, also the same question regarding the larger B6 model?

[@boxsquareaudio269]

how does voice coil size effect things? heat gets moved out faster? small spider and cone so it has less mass?

[@khunopie9159]

Peter, at 4:13 some rude person stuck their thumb up in front of your camera lens. Next time you see someone do that, feel free to give them a backhand to the back of their head. Thanks

[@nyccrcsx]

I think Peter was saying thumbs up on this product or turn up the volume

[@omnivorace]

Title of the song, please (I didn't understand the name) ? Thanks a lot for your videos.

[@jamesk3889]

+omnivorace The album title is 'Nils Lofgren Band Live' and the track he played is track 9 on the second disc called 'Bass & Drum Intro'

[@omnivorace]

+James K Thank You !

[@isabellam1936]

Do they have built in Bluetooth connection though? Because a lot of young people know how to hook it up and it's easy. I'm looking for nice speakers but with a Bluetooth connection.

[@JavierSanchez-jz1xx]

You're insulting Andrew Jones with your stupid bluetooth comment!!! Go and get a fucking Sony wireless speaker!!!

[@facundopugliese7313]

Tengo el gusto de tener un par de B6 y el C5. suenan increible. Mi padre tiene unos b&w 601 y estan a la altura, ademas de que tienen mas bajos. La verdad que lo que hizo andrew jones con estos parlante es increible. Me hubiera gutado poder haber comprado las torres. Sera en otra oportunidad. Los corro con un Reciver Denon AVR-S910w

[@webby64channel35]

Amazing

[@jmohd]

wow... Can it be use as table top speakers? I'm gonna get these..

[@lkfng]

What model was the Bel Canto?

[@absa64]

I'll order one and chech it out ,is it the best value speakers ?

[@sting64az]

Hard to believe that much bass? unless there is a sub woofer hidden somewhere?. I'm listening to this with connected to my home theatre system and Klipsch 12" sub and it sounds low the demo but i can't prove really justice on how low since my Klipsch really pounds out lows smooth and hard.

[@flintoff2020]

B5 or B6.. which is more natural and better for audiophile ears irrespective of room size and such. I want to buy one and I am stuck between both.

[@Dant2142]

Sound signature between both are almost identical, the only real difference is that the B6 gets 3hz lower and has 2db better sensitivity.

[@trencher7]

Are the UB5's worth the extra $ over these?

[@deckiedeckie]

Bought a great turntable for $150 ....a top of the line Garrard....at the PX Exchange at the US NAVY base in Sn Juan PR back 1968....doubt these are better...

[@unitymixer]

1; good 2000$ DAC, 2: great 8 000$ amp, 3: 299$ bookshelf monitor.... in that order folks.

[@gokzilla]

I need new Speakers. KEF q750 or Elac Uni-Fi FS U5 ?

[@Hirnlego999]

As usual they demo the equipment with rather simple music, of course it's easier to keep things sounding clean when there isn't really a lot going on. Lots of speakers will sound good with these kinds of recordings.

[@williamjver]

How many watts of power can these speakers handle?

[@PepeLorus]

Excellent 👍

[@kixxoff928]

What is true - a good sound must not be expensive :)

[@theejoeylee]

Wonder what Mr. Jones has at his desk..

[@kohnfutner9637]

Sounds good af

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

Anyone know which "all in one" Bel Canto they used for this demo? Trying to find it on Bel Canto site but they don't have a listing for an all in one, just separate components from what I saw.

[@markjdos]

+Hawaiiguy Kailua It's likely either the bel canto C5i or the C7R. Hard to tell from the video. They are on the bel canto Web site but their site is not all that intuitive to navigate.

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

markjdos​ I went a different direction, bought a set of Focal special edition 807w's and an Arcam Avr300. All I can say is OMG!!! Ps, I got it all for less than $800US☺

[@InChristJesus87]

I'm really considering spending alot on hifi speakers I just don't want to spend it. I'm wondering If this is worth a consider.

[@terrywho22]

Spend what you can afford to spend. At their price points, Elac and AJ Pioneer gear are excellent. Its not going to make you forget about the Focal Utopias at your local hifi shop the same way a Civic SI isn't going to make you forget about a Porsche Spyder, but the Civic is still a lot of fun and gets you there just the same. Granted, if you can afford a 918...

[@me_and_two_cats]

The amp looks like a Bel Canto C7R (Nice)

[@shocksshocks6086]

phillip watson

[@60zeller]

Nice speakers for the money. Are they any better than small wafendale Diamonds for around the same price, nope

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

Sounds nice but "$20,000 sound for $229"? That's some hyperbole. My impression of Elac when I heard some of their expensive floor standing ribbon speakers was they were excessively bright and sizzly in the highs. Mids and bass were about par with other brands. A tilted up treble seems to be Elacs signature sound not unlike Thiel speakers. Maybe their low priced items are better.

[@legacy7024]

what is this speakers stands?

[@genkifd]

Might see if I can source a pair - can't loose at that price

[@TheRockerxx69]

On my 4 amped elec. X overed lots of tubes....system, Tube dac etc that snapped bass solo is a lot less harsh...natural l would say. These mini boxes at 229.oo sound canned spam

[@Dev_Everything]

what kind of amp is that?

[@iMoMeNtuM77]

Can I use these as my front speakers in my home theater? What I'm really asking is, are they good for movies???

[@paulc7572]

if they sound this good in music, they work wonders in home theater applications going to get me 4 of these and center, before the price sky rockets.

[@iMoMeNtuM77]

Paul C Thanks Paul, I think I'm getting four as well.

[@paulc7572]

+Daniel Lourido with a god tight sub for movies these would flat out rock, granted i never heard these but listening through headphones while listening to this video i am floored by the performance these have to offer for this low of a price... insane

[@iMoMeNtuM77]

Paul C Exaclty. These speakers have gotten the approval from many reviewers. The performance apparently is really good for the price. But the reviews were always based on a music perspective. I have a center and sub already from a previous Klipsch home theater, want to see how that works out with these speakers.

[@949surferdude]

Hey Daniel, did you end up getting them?

[@BYD_LRT]

Who places their bookshelve speakers 10 feet apart and 4 feet away from the wall? Andrew Jones obviously strategically placed his B5 speakers to sound their best. A front ported designed bookshelves like the B&W 685 S2 would be a better choice, too bad they cost $700 USD, and here in Canada, Best Buy doesn't sell B&W, only overpriced speakers from Klipsch and Polk.

[@Roof_Pizza]

He said aluminum like he's been saying it that way his whole life.

[@noelvega5993]

im fn sold...and their going in my room ; )

[@garyphillips7322]

just look at the home theater geeks 263 interview with Andrew Jones.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Let's get some things clear: 1. They do sound amazing....but don't get fooled they sound x10 times their price..more like twice. In the same set-up the B&W 685 s2 will walk over them in terms of detail from mids and highs... at more than twice the price though. 2. This set-up is ideal...pushed into the room..distanced from the side-walls...stands...great amp...AND MOST OF ALL that album he's playing sound amazing on EVERYTHING! Most buyers will hook them up w AVR receivers, place them on shelves and listen to badly recorded pop music. All of the sudden they'll sound like 50$ speakers. Example: I have a 10k system...just for fun I placed my brother's 120€ speakers in place of my speakers...well I was blown away! Every friend/neighbour thought they cost a thousand! Then again...they were on sand-filled stands...great amp driving them...Rega RP8 as source with Rega Aria phono stage and so on.

[@MeatPopsycle]

+SpaghettiKillah Have you got any idea what equipment he is using between the source and the speakers? Looks like a Bel Canto. It's amazing, the kind of sound you can produce with the right source and $3000 or so worth of integrated amplifier. This setup would make a pair of $100 Polk Audio speakers from Best Buy sound pretty amazing.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

+krulkntrdction It's a Bel Canto C7R or C5 integrated amp (it has internal Dac). Class D amplification

[@damaster692]

+SpaghettiKillah actually you would be surprised. B&Ws tend to be to bright. These sound real .The most realistic speakers ive ever heard were the Magnepan 1.7s . but they aren't popular because they are priced so low.  Some people get impressed when they hear really sharp brights but I get impressed when instruments sound real. PS Equipment makes no difference as long as its quality an integrated $300 Sony receiver will sound just as good as a 5000 amplifier in a blind test. ive tested it trust me .

[@SpaghettiKillah]

+DA Master well i've had the B&W 685 s2 and now B&W CM5 s2 and never found'em bright. The Dali I had were brighter, Tannoy's I tried were so bright they scratched my brain so it's all relative. Not sayin' B&W are perfect..but bright they're not. I don't think I've ever read a B&W review complaining they're bright. Have you?

[@SpaghettiKillah]

+DA Master Agree on the Maggies...amazing speakers. People don't buy them that much maybe because their shape..they're weird for WAF and also hard to drive by most amps in the lower price range.

[@techknowology]

What is the PRE AMP/AMP in use?

[@nyccrcsx]

Bel canto 2600 dollars maybe more

[@techknowology]

steve de melio I just did a pre-order on these. I want the F5s. I am buying a turntable and probably the Bel Canto. When Andrew comes out with the mid range speakers I will probably buy those too, as my experience matures I will be starting with this. Pure awesome.

[@nyccrcsx]

I pre ordered the b5s I have Polk audio tsi 100 on stands these will be a great up grade

[@CEOLISSS]

$20,000 electronics. That’s why.

[@OFF-WORLD9732]

cheapest amp for these?

[@kamaboko1]

Go to an audio show and 95% of the music they demo products with you've never heard and will likely never want to hear again.

[@AleksandreMzhavia]

Good.

[@DJMikeron]

KEF do. the same with the LS50 the use a 10. 000 Euro Accuphase. 600 to demonstrate a 1.000 euro pair of speaker. That is so stupid. So if you want a good speaker at a low price don't forget you will need a class A amp of 5.000 upwards to get this sound. That's why so many people sell the LS50 .the have a low price amp and they don't sound good on a normal Amp.

[@robertmarshall7712]

Wrong! These things sound amazing with a Marantz m-cr603 all in one system at 40 wpc. Even the fact they're relatively inefficient doesn't faze the little Marantz amp. What you get is the result of very careful engineering at a price most people can afford. Hooray! Do NOT think that you have to spend big bucks to get a good sound from these speakers! That is simply not true.

[@mrpositronia]

Wrong! These things sound amazing with a Cambridge CXA-60. Also, If you designed speakers and you were showing them publicly, you'd plug them into the best amp you could find, just to rinse the last little details out. That's how you keep your boss happy.

[@michaelastrud281]

Have the B6's.. Upgrade the tweeter and it's ultimate.

[@Geerladenlad]

michael astrud With what tweeter did you upgrade to?

[@Crake71]

What stands are those?

You can get them on Amazon they are called mount it 50 dollars a pair

where in the UK can i buy these please

[@MrJueKa]

+Mick Hicks I´ve the same problem in Germany - this is the presentation from ELAC USA - but I just want to listen to them at first, I wouldn`t buy a speaker without listening, no matter which prize range or manufacturer

[@Schaneification]

The B5 ELAC are hard to find in the EU and if your do they like 318 euro or more , that like 365 dollars

+steve de melio Thumbs up means good

[@nyccrcsx]

+Dave Patheyjohns I figured that's what he meant just got them they sound amazing

[@deckiedeckie]

Bought a great turntable for $150 ....a Garrard....doubt these are better...

[@codythompson9035]

I can’t stand this stuff, what is a $20,000 speaker or a $229 speaker supposed to sound like? People get so focused on price=performance and forget to actually listen to the sound. You can find some great sounding cheap speakers and you can find some terrible sounding pricy speakers. Even then your room positioning, pre/pro or receiver, and amp can make such significant differences with any speaker.

[@tomdarrington]

Bring your $229 speakers to my house and I'll show you the difference. Yeah, you can't quantify sound for comparison, but the difference is night and day.

[@JesusRamirez-og9zo]

I have no doubt that these are good value, I might even buy a pair for my computer, but they don't sound like $20,000 speakers. I have a pair of ATC SCM50 ASLT and these would disintegrate in their presence.
