What is the best speaker system. How to choose the right acoustic speakers. Poloid acoustics Penaudio Rebel Two, review. Log "Salon Audiovideo"

Acoustic systems (or otherwise - columns) are perhaps the most widely represented class of audio equipment. There are hundreds of proposals on the market, and the process of their choice is very difficult. Therefore, we decided to write a little guide capable of facilitating the solution of this task.

You can buy columns for one hundred dollars, and it is possible for a million. The frequency range of 10 octave and dynamic in a hundred decibel is the need to reproduce sound waves in length from centimeter to tens of meters and sounds from the silent silence of the non-echo chamber to the bulk-like Ryuva of the reactive aircraft. Even the banal column casing gives the spread from "shoe boxes" to huge "cabinets" and from kilograms to centners.

Classification of acoustic systems at cost Prices are shown for a couple First level Molders up to 40 000 ₽ Ruffers up to 15 000 ₽ Despite its declared initial status, the column of this category may safely qualify for a key role in creating a full-fledged stereo system. The kit on their base will play, at a minimum, significantly better most of the music centers and wireless speakers, although the latter - with the reservation, because these columns can be several times more expensive. It is probably not entirely correct to talk about some subtle musical matter in this category, but as for the frequency and dynamic range (in more specifically, different frequencies and different losses), as well as the level of distortion, they will completely definitely be within the permanent. Save here, most often, on appearance - for example, replacing a natural veneer with vinyl film, but also its quality in lately Rose significantly. Budget level Holes 40 000 - 80 000 ₽ Ruffers 15 000 - 50 000 ₽ The budget level columns are such unless with respect to their more expensive fellow. As for their comparison with initial models, they already in most cases rearrange completely full-fledged acoustic systems. With respect to them, it is quite consciously to consider such criteria as the detail of the sound or the construction of the sound scene is not to mention all the more familiar parameters. The economic factor may be present in the use of not the most expensive speakers from third-party manufacturers or in the housings made from traditional materials (most often MDF), and not exotic type of metal, wood or even glass. Average level Holes 80 000 - 160 000 ₽ Shelves 50 000 - 80 000 ₽ The average level is the most notorious golden middle, and its main feature is not in averaging objective parameters and subjective quality, but in achieving the plank, to overcome, firstly, it is possible only with much more substantial costs, and secondly, Assess the excess of which only some avid music lovers will be able to dignity - the very audiophiles. As for the absolute majority of average buyers, for them this category is a reasonable maximum, and sometimes - and the limit of dreams. Premium level Holes 160 000 - 500 000 ₽ Ruffers 80 000 - 300 000 ₽ The premium category uses the most expensive components and technologies, various innovative solutions are used, literally the entire potential of forces and means are involved in ensuring maximum sound quality, as in terms of objective parameters (all the same amplitude and frequency range, phase unevenness and other distortion ), and from the position of subjectively perceived sound quality, including the notorious involvement and musicality. High End. Halolites from 500 000 ₽ Shelves from 300 000 ₽ So what is High End Audio and actually speaking columns of this category, as by and large the most obvious embodiment of this term? It is believed that the sound quality is quite close to feeling and less costs. But the point is that the process of improving quality in such terminal stages is purely nonlinear. In other words, to make it better for one tenth, it may be necessary to spend ten times more. This time. And two: This High End is not only an absolute from the point of view of sound quality, but also the same absolute from the point of view of materials and technologies in relation to the manufacturer to which he sometimes goes to the manufacturer, if not decades.

There is an opinion that home columns should be chosen exclusively at the price and external appeal. However, even if you do not intend to become an expert in this matter, our article will help to reduce the number of "probable applicants" without difficulty and discompulating obviously unacceptable options.

The great sets presented in the market of acoustic systems makes the process of choosing a difficult task

Producing country

Audio equipment different countries (And first of all - acoustics) reproduces the sound in different ways.

Say America - Country large spaces, large cars and impressive acoustic systems. Such columns are able to "voice" spacious American living rooms, and their appearance amazes with his monumentality. This trend is clearly illustrated by the Magico Ultimate III model - after all, its height is incomplete 2.5 meters! And the sound is to become sizes: very dynamic, powerful, aggressive and assertive.

Americans - the creators of Ultimate III - prefer large forms

In contrast to them, Japan, where small premises provide a kind of gear ratio, on the contrary, it tries to "dry" bass in their columns. A characteristic example is the JBL Everest project, which was invited by the well-known reviewer of Kazio Yamanaka. Actually, the final sound was planned, and it turned out to be typically Japanese: the "external" attribute is emphasized, the solution of the timbres and the beauty of the feed, sometimes on the verge of suggestion and barely of a catchy synthetic taste - in other words, they sound not quite natural. As a result, today we do not have a really popular manufacturer of high-quality acoustics from the rising sun.

JBL DD55000 Everest - an excellent example of "typically Japanese" approach to creating acoustics

Next - first of all the United Kingdom, with its own. British sound - not squeezed and not angry, but rather accurate and restrained. This sound transmits the internal content of music at the expense of some smooth and small gestures. It is believed that the "mid", the most important part of the range, the English equipment works especially well.

"British sound" Monitor Audio Gold is appropriate even in the former church

High-quality home acoustics is the necessary attribute of high-class modern housing attribute. A high-quality rich sound allows you to feel at the premiere of blockbuster in the cinema, sitting at this moment on your favorite home sofa.

Such systems are very highly different in price, as well as the quality of materials, dimensions, power and sound, and therefore acoustics for the house - the item to be chosen with the mind. Our today's rating will try to help you choose the most appropriate objective and tasks a high-quality home speaker system.

Defender Hollywood 35.

Price: 3200 rubles

Inexpensive shelf acoustics with low power and averaged frequencies. Let's say right away - if you plan to collect a serious home cinema, then you should choose something more professional and expensive, but if you want to change the old two speakers on surround sound And do not waste it too much - Defender Hollywood 35 It is suitable for you as it is impossible. Despite the pretty boring bottoms and tops, with due skill and patience, sensitive settings will make the sound more sharp and detailed. To listen to complex instrumental parties, they may not fit, but it will be more than enough for viewing TV series or computer games. Cheap and quite angry.

BBK MA-845S

Price: 4400 rubles

Budget wireless acoustics, with modest power indicators - 77 W, and a completely decent frequency range - from 23 to 20,000 Hz. The columns and subwoofer are made of practical MDF, and the black color of execution helps them to take a worthy place in any room. The sound is unlikely to impress the famous specialists, but for a modest home audio system of such accompaniment will be more than enough. Best of all BBA MA-845s copes with low frequencies, and therefore the playback of the soundtrack of the film does not differ much from more expensive solutions. An interesting compromise option for a small budget.

SVEN HT-210 SV-014124 Black

Price: 7652 rubles

Acoustic system with simple, but at the same time stylish and even brutal design. For its price, you can provide a good power of 125 W and even the detailed sound of both the upper and lower frequencies in the range of 40-20000 Hz. True, on the built-in sound card "Wow-Effect" should not be waited and close. The acoustic system itself includes a standard set of subwoofer and pairs of columns, everything is made of MDF, a homogeneous structure of which absorbs sound well. You can place SVEN HT-210 SV-014124 as on the horizontal surface, and hang onto the wall. The presence of console remote control - Also a considerable plus in terms of comfort. Summarizing, this is a worthy speaker system, which can be connected virtually anything thanks to a large number of different connectors, including a wireless method via Bluetooth, and at the same time to remain satisfied.

Denon SYS-2020

Price: 14 000 rubles

Other level columns compared to previous positions in the ranking. This is already absolutely adult power - 600 W, excellent bottoms, clean and detailed sound. This is a shelf acoustics, the speakers are quite compact and in many ways the sound quality will depend on the correct location. Despite the fact that the Japanese brand Denon is not very high popular in Russia, fans of high-quality acoustics with experience with him are great and highly appreciate it in general, as well as this model in particular. If you are not yet ready to give monthly income for such equipment, but I don't want to limit yourself to budget options - be sure to pay attention to Denon SYS-2020.

Sony SS-CS310CR

Price: 14 500 rubles

The legendary Japanese concern today is not so brightly shines in the sky of the best acoustics for the house, as ten years ago, but the company's engineers did not have to do high-quality equipment. The frequency range of these columns is from 45 to 50000 Hz, and therefore the bottom is slightly washed, but the average and high frequencies are higher than all silence, especially for such an amount. The power is also quite outstanding - 635 W, and therefore it is necessary to be neat with twisting at maximum. This is an outdoor system that is able to install without much difficulty and loss of quality and a completely unfamiliar with the speakers of a person. Perhaps for the same money you can find columns with more expressive noses, but the name of the Sony's brand in the world of audio engineering is not an empty sound, but because everyone is free to choose himself.

Polk Audio Rti A1

Price: 22 700 rubles

These columns will suit those audiophiles for which thin tuning Equipment for your needs is half the pleasure of using it. The separate connection of the amplifier channels significantly exceeds the equipment with an unconnected crossover in sensitivity to manual changes. It is worth noting the simplicity of connecting this system - you just need to unscrew the nuts with the terminals and remove the strips intended for the pairwise connection, after which we will appear in front of a separate inputs for connecting. Each column is equipped with two speakers - Twitter and Midbas. Attention deserve excellent bottoms, issued by Polk Audio RTI A1 - clear and saturated, but the middle and the tops are also very juicy. Solid capacity and comfortable attachments on the wall will allow you to place acoustics in the most suitable places for your room. Of the minuses - not the most sensitive configuration of the crossover.

HECO VICTA PRIME 602

Price: 28 900 rubles

The speaker manufacturer has accepted an interesting solution - for the lower and average frequencies in HECO VICTA PRIME 602, large 120-millimeter speakers correspond, and for the upper frequencies in the response inch twitters. Thanks to this design, all the nuances of sound will be transmitted with maximum reliability. Amateurs of ultra-low bass are unlikely to be impressed with this system, but fans of natural frontal outdoor sound will appreciate the acoustics. Solidal rated power can lead to sad consequences in the hands of inexperienced users - you can damage twitters in the abuse of the force of this system. The bottoms without an additional subwoofer may be not enough if you decide to organize home the cinema houses, but the rest of the column is excellent - the parties of the tools are clearly segmented, the sound is excellent, full-fledged three stripes.

ONKYO SKS-HT728

Price: 33 300 rubles

This kit of Hi-Fi acoustics will delight the owner an incredible frequency range in the range from 25 to 50,000 Hz. Clean and transparent sound will strike even sophisticated music lovers, and the disadvantages of the system did not find any disadvantages, except for the potential overload of the subwoofer at rampant use for such. These stylish frontal handsome have a phenomenal power - 520 W. Really high-quality and modern acoustics, collected manually with maximum care and love. Among its price segment, ONKYO SKS-HT728 simply does not have competitors, it looks so much in each of the differences when choosing aspects. If the cost scares you, and she, in general, is quite fair for the high-class speaker system, then best acoustics By the price / quality ratio, you just do not find.

Edifier S2000Pro.

Price: 24490 rubles

When it comes to a combination of classics and progressive technologies, the acoustic system of EDIFIER S2000PRO can become an excellent example of how it needs to be done. Among the advantages of the system of aluminum 5.5-inch Wedfer S2000PRO with a capacity of 124 W, a range of reproducible frequencies of 48-20000 Hz and high-quality speakers. The high-quality sound of this speaker system also contributes to the presence of a bandwidth. The appearance of the columns came out to be sounding. Each housing is made of high-quality materials, including a natural veneer of rare wood species. Digital optical and coaxial connectors make it possible to pick up the system to any modern devices from the TV to the smartphone. To connect to analog signal sources, there is an independent analog RCA input. EDIFIER S2000PRO will provide truly studio sound that will have to do with even cheated audiophiles.

Kef E305

Price: 88 200 rubles

Very expensive, but an incredibly interesting version of the premium Hi-Fi acoustics of Standard 5.1. This system has a ceiling type that is still a huge rarity. This model is well known to all connoisseurs of high-quality sound, and it has acquired its popularity due to the detailing, volume and accuracy of sound. The most serious frequency range is from 33 to 45000 Hz, will allow quality to reflect the whole sound spectrum. The oscillations are smoothed, and the noises are suppressed - nothing distracts from listening to the perfect sound. The subwoofer comes in the kit does not drag the blanket on itself, but accurately displays low frequencies. Futuristic design is made in conservative colors, and therefore, such an acoustics perfectly fit into any interior and will become its dominant. With installation and settings, the newcomer will have to be tinker, but the results are worthless - the unconditional first place of our acoustics rating for the house, although such a monster will fit for professional needs.

Imagine a person who is interested in music, but never paid attention to sound quality. And so, having heard about Hi-Fi and High-end-technology, he decides to check in person, what is the "real sound". His money, as a rule, is a bit, and it is a pity to spend, it is not known yet for what. Just for such a person, our shelf speaker test will be very useful, and just in this price range can be found columns capable of demonstrating real Hi-Fi-quality sound. Yes, you will have to make a small discount on the depth of bass. But, on the other hand, shelf acoustics, as a rule, better playing at low volume than the outdoor, and it will be easier to place it in the room. Dozen speakers - a rich selection. I am sure that among them there are very very worthy specimens.

Criteria for evaluation

We are dealing with classic "workshoes", and the approach to testing is quite traditional. Ahh and books will show us how flawlessly the design of the column from a technical point of view is performed. Together with the constructive characteristics of the model, this will assess the design.
Listening will make its own adjustments and will allow you to identify the character of the sound. The good bass depth and at the same time its high quality is rarely combined in the format of the shelves, so we will not approach unnecessarily strictly to this parameter. But the presence of a clean and even upper register with small columns is completely under power. The importance of this parameter is extreme for genuine, natural supply of musical material. High-quality sound at low volume is also important and is an indicator of smooth, almost linear speakers of the AU. The timbral reliability will allow you to enjoy the full beauty of the sound of each individual tool. After all, musical instruments are created in order to enjoy their sound, and not try to understand what exactly plays. All this will be in the assessment of sound. The last estimate is inversely proportional to the price: above the price is less evaluation.

Acoustic Energy 301.

Sound: 4.
Design: 4.
Price: 4.
Advantages:
- High detail
- Temmar reliability
Disadvantages:
- Low air

Working out a series of 300, designers achieved visual minimalism. All small details like screws, grill fasteners are excluded from the appearance. The front wall of the column is finished with a black rubber-like coating that merges in color with diffusers of emitters. The decoration of the speakers is also minimalist - black or white varnish. Model 301 followed in itself a corporate 28-mm tweeter with a motley dome and a traditional, well-recognizable sch / LF speaker with a diffuser of bent, rapidly anodized aluminum with a diameter of 110 mm. This speaker is a distant heritage of the legendary AE1 monitors.

Shelf Acoustics Acoustic Energy 301

It is curious that the company decided to use the slit port of the phase inverter made to the front panel. It was possible to save the size of the column with the convenience of its placement near the wall.

Sound
The absence of how either a noticeable color of the sound allows you to turn around the column and, even playing quite restrained, present musical compositions interesting. The smallest details are well distinguishable, and the timbs are very close to natural. The entire frequency scale is well balanced in terms of level, and on the dynamics - the sound is holistic.

The elevation of the top register is not bad, but it is not enough for open sound with enough air. On complex compositions, the intelligibility of the musical material is reduced. At low volume, the character of the sound almost does not change.

Measurements

Ahh is very smooth. The decline in the NF region is uniform. Middle depth bass. The books are quite low until the lower boundary and practically does not depend on the volume level. Impedance is unstable.

Bowers & Wilkins 685

Sound: 4.

Design: 5.

Price: 5.

Advantages:

- Spacious sound

- Fast bass

Disadvantages:

- A little simplification of timbres

The model represents the younger Bowers & Wilkins line. Possessing a concise modern design, the line nevertheless inherited some technologies from the flagship themselves. Of course, this applies only to inexpensive and effective solutions, such as Nautilus tubes for tweeter, kevlar diffusers and phase inverter ports with a golf ball surface. The tweeter with an aluminum dome is surrounded by a special material that helps achieve the volume of sound. SC / TWT-Speaker uses a static bullet to smooth out the return on the upper boundary of the frequency.

Shelf Acoustics Bowers & Wilkins 685

The crossover model is minimized as much as possible - he is first order. The hull of the speakers is decorated with a film, and the front panel is covered with a pleasant to the touch velvety material.

Sound
The sound of the model is open, light. Detality at a good level. Bass collected, fast. Localization is clear. Impressive dynamic range.

Tool timbres are slightly simplified on average frequencies. In this case, the top register area is very active.

It adds the sound of airiness, space. Models are inherent in increased emotionality, expressiveness.

Measurements

Nice unevenness in the region of 2.5 kHz and 6-7 kHz, which disappear when the column is rotated by 30 °. However, the frequency balance at the same time is slightly shifted in the LF region. Knock is extremely low. Impedance is extremely unstable.

CANTON CHRONO 503.2.

Sound: 4.

Design: 5.

Price: 5.

Advantages:

- pure top register

- Accurate transfer of timbres

Disadvantages:

- bass is weak at low volume

Chrono 503.2 is a real German column: excellent performance quality, 100 percent quality control of each instance, Made in Germany. Despite the declared glossy finish, the column is placed by the film, and only the front panel is made by glossy. The size of the column is not very large, but the speaker managed to place an impressive - 180 mm. Of course, it is equipped with a traditional Canton aluminum diffuser. The suspension is made in the form of a wave for the maximum linear and long piston diffuser. A 25 mm tweeter dome is made of very lung, but a durable aluminum and magnesium alloy. For reliability, it is protected by a metal grid. On the bottom there are two holes with thread for mounting on a rack or bracket.

Shelf acoustics Canton Chrono 503.2

Sound
Music material is presented very carefully. The frequency balance is almost perfect. Tool timbres are transmitted with high reliability, and small parts are not overlooked from the view. Increased emotionality is not observed, but due to a wide and even dynamic range of columns, it is possible to accurately transmit the musical idea of \u200b\u200bthe composition. Bass collected, neat, exactly in its place. However, it is not very deep, and at low volume even more gives his position. At first it seems that high frequencies are too many, but they appear exactly when it really needs, and in the right amount. The top register is very clean, which will certainly appreciate lovers of modern electronic music.

Measurements

The frequency response is smooth, although quite strongly depends on the angle of listening - the orientation of the AU is relatively narrow. Books very low and noticeable good stock on low frequenciesoh. Impedance is unstable.

Chario Syntar 516.

Sound: 3.

Design: 4.

Price: 4.

Advantages:

- Emotional feed

- Clear Localization

Disadvantages:

- Simplification of Tembrov

The Italian column is made in the very classic design with a veneer trim. Before drinking the walls of the hidge housing, HDF are frozen on both sides with natural wood. It makes the column more durable. The assembly and further processing of the body are made by experts by hand in Italy. Ready copies are thoroughly tested for compliance with the necessary acoustic parameters. The Silversoft NEODIUM model tweeter uses a special membrane, coated with an aluminum powder, as in the columns of the company's top line. Interestingly, the tweeter is given to the considerable part of the sch-range - starting with 1 kHz. The form of the diffuser sch / LF speaker, twice the curved, the designers were selected specifically taking into account psychoacoustics and during the months of research.

Shelf acoustics Chario Syntar 516

The port of the phase inverter ends with a simple hole cut into the bottom asymmetric. High rubber legs on the bottom of the body allow the port to work quite effectively.

Sound
In the sound of the columns is present, on the one hand, softness, slowness, and on the other - very clear, active top register. The timbral picture is lightly blurred, the smallest details are vualized. And meanwhile, the speakers succeeds quite accurately, emotionally transfer the mood of musical compositions. The bass is pretty deep and a little prevails in a common sound picture. With a good localization of the musical scene, there is not enough clarity, transparency. This is more noticeable on complex compositions. At the low volume, the bass weakens, but the sound remains quite dynamic and emotional.

Measurements

The best ACH is observed at the corner of the audition at 30 °. The unevenness is relatively good, even recession on the LF. Books are good enough to up to the lowest frequencies. Impedance is relatively stable.

Dynaudio DM 2/7

Sound: 5.

Design: 5.

Price: 5.

Advantages:

- Temmar reliability

- pure top register

Disadvantages:

- strictness in filing

The DM line is the initial level of acoustics in terms of the famous Danish company Dynaudio. The column is decorated in a completely recognizable style of this company. Gray front panel is specifically made in thickness to effectively extinguish the case resonances. The hull itself is also carefully shuffled and high qualityly decorated with a traditional veneer. The branded tweeter is equipped with a 28-mm dome from textiles impregnated with special composition. Diffuser MF / LF-Dynamics Stamps from an already well-proven magnesium massylicate polymer. Sound coils drivers are wound on the capiton base with a light aluminum wire. Together with powerful magnetic systems, this allows you to achieve wonderful dynamics and sensitivity.

Shelf acoustics Dynaudio DM 2/7

Particular attention is paid to the maximum impedance linearity to minimize the dependence of the speakers from the amplifier.

Sound
The supply of musical material is limited column, natural. Excellent collected permission makes the sound scene very believable. It is clearly visible to the spatial placement of the tools.

Bass is dense and well decorated. The upper case is clean and rumored. The sound is distinguished by high detail and lack of color. At the low volume, the speakers play as confident as high.

Measurements

Ahh is elongated in a very smooth strip with a barely noticeable breakdown in high frequencies. The direction is wider. Books are low and stable. Impedance is quite stable. Exemplary results.

Magnat Quantum 753.

Sound: 5.

Design: 4.

Price: 4.

Advantages:

- Temmar accuracy

- pure musical scene

Disadvantages:

- A little sparse sound

It is thorough as a column from the QUANTUM 750 line price range Magnat company. The front wall is made by thick (40 mm) to struggle to make dramatically with the chassis resonances. A solid podium with a thickness of 30 mm also emphasizes the rootality of the structure. It is curious that the front panel and the podium are polished to the brilliance, and the rest of the casing is matte. F-MAX Twitter is equipped with a dome from a double textile compound and has an extended working frequency range. Diffuser sch / LF speaker is made of ceramics / aluminum. The sound coil is well ventilated. The design of the basket of aluminum dynamics is optimized for optimal flow of air flow and reducing resonances.

Polish acoustics Magnat Quantum 753

The port of the phase inverter with a large euro is put on the back wall. The crossover is optimized by the phase and amplitude of the signal and is assembled from selected high-quality elements.

Sound
The columns play emotionally, dynamically, quickly. At the same time, the timbres of the tools are perfectly transmitted, and the musical scene is not flashed with outsiders - they are clean and deep. Localization of sound sources is excellent. Detailing is also at a high level.

The level of HF is enough for open sound with airiness presence, and at the same time the upper case is very neat, unobtrusive.

The bass of medium depth, assembled and fast. A little lack of physicity, feed density. At the low volume, the pads of the columns are lost, emotionality comes.

Measurements

The non-uniformity frequency response is minimal, but the frequency imbalance in the direction of the RF is evident. The books changes within 1% and significantly depends on the volume, but obvious resonances are not marked. Good stock of books at low frequencies. Impedance is unstable.

Martin Logan Motion 15

Sound: 4.

Design: 4.

Price: 3.

Advantages:

- Energetic feed

- fast and tight bass

Disadvantages:

- weak on low volume

The columns attract their amazing natural finish and a pretty black steel protective grid. Cover case slightly tilted back. Under the lattice, another surprise is a tape tweeter (sign of the non-sneakers). The front panel of the column is made of aluminum anodized with black. The panel tone is performed and the diffuser of the long-terrestrial sch / LF speaker is also from black anodized aluminum. Emitters are consistent with a crossover with improved topology, assembled on polypropylene capacitors and electrolytes with a low loss coefficient, as well as manually wound inductances.

Polish acoustics Martin Logan Motion 15

The scheme provides thermal and clean protection. The port of the phase inverter is removed on the back wall. The hull of the AC is assembled from MDF plates with a thickness of 19 mm.

Sound
The feature of the columns is that they do not like to play in a small and average volume. In this mode of operation from the frequency band, only the sch remain mainly, and the dynamics becomes inexpressive.

With increasing volume, fast elastic bass appears and rather detailed tops. However, the bottom middle still continues to prevail. Feeding musical material Herbal. At the same time, it is necessary to pay tribute, no extraneous ghosts are felt, even on the contrary, there may sometimes disappear, where they would have to be.

The model is inclined to simplify the timbres of the tools. At the same time, a tape tweeter is very well heard, which gives a characteristic gentle color to the average range.

Measurements

Noticeable non-uniformity ACH in the field of HF. Sensitivity decline towards NC rather sharp. The direction is wider. KOB has small lifts in the score area, but nevertheless it remains below 1%. Impedance is relatively stable.

MK Sound LCR 750

Sound: 5.

Design: 5.

Price: 4.

Advantages:

- Focused sound

- good solid resolution

Disadvantages:

- Do not hide the lack of recording

All the acoustic systems of the American company M & K Sound are performed in black without any embellishments. And the main product decoration is the compliance with the highest standards of sound playback. Series 750 - Compact set of speakers for creating a home cinema. And the largest column in the series (not counting the subwoofer) - model 750 LCR. The column is quite unusual, especially within our test. First, closed acoustic design reduces the return of bass. Secondly, the use of at once two sch / low-speed speakers significantly expands the dynamic range of column. Third, rotated by 4.7 ° aside from the listener, the tweeter panel probably increases and / or aligns the dispersion of different frequencies. The tweeter dome is made of silk coated with polymer.

Shelf acoustics MK Sound LCR 750

Diffusers of polypropylene speakers, with mineral filler. We particularly note the phase-focused (phase-focused) crossover, which significantly improves almost all column parameters. On the back wall there is a set of threaded holes for different variants of fasteners of the AU.

Sound
Great control of musical material. The sound is almost monitor, smooth. All tools as on the palm: they are clearly defined in space, and whenever matter. Nothing extensive interferes with the general musical picture, all the nuances are visible clearly. And since any emotional color is missing, the sound of the AU is not so exciting, like many other models, and completely depends on the most musical composition.

Measurements

The irregularity of the frequency response is insignificant. The best results gives a rotation of 30 °. KOB is very low and towards low frequencies is growing very smoothly, exceeding 5% only at low volume. Impedance is quite stable. Very worthy results.

PSB Imagine B.

Sound: 5.

Design: 5.

Price: 3.

Advantages:

- Natural Tembrov Transfer

- Stone speaker

Disadvantages:

- Limited area RF

The Iraagine ruler of the Canadian company PSB has been offered for several years. During this time, she managed to earn a reward Red Dot for the design and mass of positive feedback from various experts. The column body is a geometric intersection of several elliptic cylinders. All walls - bent. And it creates a feeling of solidity, structural strength. Thoroughly looks like 25 mm tweeter - dome of durable titanium, the coil is cooled with magnetic fluid, powerful neodymium magnet. Diffuser MF / CH-dynamics is made of polypropylene with clay-ceramic filler (mineral). The port of the phase inverter is removed from the back. Column qualitatively finished with natural veneer.

Polish acoustics PSB Imagine B

Sound
Sound assembled and well balanced frequencies. Lovely localization and natural timbers make a musical scene almost real, alive. Smooth speaker allows you to play speakers naturally, liberated even at low volume. Chista musical matter. A little limited RF range, due to which the airiness is lost, turning into the chamber.

The columns may miss the smallest details, but at the same time maintain expressiveness, the soundness of the sound. Bass, though not deep, but very well decorated. Very good and medium frequencies are randically saturated and quite correct.

Measurements

Very even response measured along the acoustic axis. The reversal of the columns away from the listener is undesirable - begin to hand over HF. Of the book is stable and low until the bottom frequency border. Impedance is stable.

REGA RS1

Sound: 5.

Design: 4.

Price: 4.

Advantages:

- pure top register

- Wide Dynamic Range

Disadvantages:

- Small sound color

The English company REGA has developed and offers buyers the only series of RS columns. The purpose of their creation is to harmoniously add other sound techniques, also developed in the REGA walls. However, the speakers are available for buyers and separately from this technique. The RS1 model is quite compact and, judging by weight, is going from MDF a small thickness. Despite this, the performance of the speakers is at the height, there is a neat trim with veneer, and strict design. Emitters are designed by REGA engineers and are collected manually within the company itself. 19 mm Twitter is equipped with a back chamber of a special form for better damping of sound waves on the back of the tweeter dome. SC / LF speaker with paper diffuser.

Shelf acoustics Rega RS1

Smooth frequency return speaker makes it easy to integrate it with a tweeter using the simplest crossover with good phase synchronicity. The port of the phase inverter is removed on the back wall.

Sound
The columns transmit the timbres rather accurately, but due to the small color, the musical scene becomes slightly less transparent. Very little lack of the upper case, while it is very clean. Details are present, but slightly veiled. Music material is squeezed, openly

The bass is quite accurate, but sometimes there is a lack of weight. Localization of sound sources is somewhat blurred.

Complex music manages the column somewhat worse - the intelligibility of the sound material is reduced. However, at the low volume speakers play quite convincing.

Measurements

The unevenness of the ACH in the field of the upper middle and the RF form a special character of the sound of the AU. An even more column is played if they are rotated at 30 °. KNG is unstable, but quite low, less than 1%. Impedance is extremely unstable.

Triangle Color Bookshelf.

Sound: 5.

Design: 4.

Price: 5.

Advantages:

- Outdoor Live Sound

- Accurate transfer of timbres

Disadvantages:

- small excess bass

Very cute in the form of a speaker of the French manufacturer Triangle are performed in three colors of varnish - white, black and red. The Color line is highlighted in a bright, cheerful style among all the products of Triangle and occupies the place of the initial level.

The shelf model uses tweeter with a titanium membrane and sch / wtch speaker with a paper diffuser. In general, the speaker is quite interesting, its suspension is wide, corrugated and is based on his cloth. Paper diffuser is covered with a special composition. Dustproof cap is made in the form of a bullet. The design of the crossover uses workers from the top line Magellan. The port of the phase inverter is located on the posterior column wall.

Sound
The sound of the model is very live, natural. Determining accuracy is very high. Sound material feed is natural and relaxed.

The speaker is surprisingly exactly repeats a living performance. The bass is deep and perfectly decorated. Sometimes it even seems that it is too much.

Music Matter is very clean and extremely detailed. No nuances elude from the field of view of the columns.

They cope with compositions of any complexity. The sound quality is not lost and at low volume.

Measurements

Obvious Sbalance ACH in the direction of HF. It is treated, as usual, is a turn of 30 °. The books are quite low, although it is tangible above, but remains within 1%. High volume causes a little more distortion in the top bass. Impedance is unstable.

Wharfedale Jade 3.

Sound: 5.

Design: 5.

Price: 4.

Advantages:

- Good detail

- Clear Localization

Disadvantages:

- Slightly weakened the speaker

The British Wharfedale company traditionally does not regret neither forces or materials even on budget line. And the Jade 3 model confirms this once again. In our test it is the biggest and heavy turnoller, and the only 3-way one. The hull with bent walls is a sign of top lines in many other manufacturers, but not Wharfedale. And the shape of the body, and additional bulkheads make the housing as acoustically inertiam as an inert, preventing unwanted sound color. High frequencies take a tweeter with an aluminum dome. At the border of 3 kHz, it replaces the s-speaker with a diffuser from aluminum-cellulose composite. And already in the region of 350 Hz, the initiative intercepts the LF speaker, equipped with a woven diffuser from a mixture of glass fiber coal. The combination of such materials with a wicker structure approaches the diffuser to the perfect piston, excluding the problematic resonance phenomena inherent in metal diffusers.

Shelf Acoustics Wharfedale Jade 3

The speakers work in a closed volume. The column crossover was optimized on the computer for the maximum linearity of the signal phase transfer linear.

Sound
Wharfedale speakers sound traditionally beautiful. All tools are clearly placed spatially. The music scene is clean and spacious.

The bass column is supplied carefully, unlatedly, as if afraid to damage the balance of the overall sound picture. The same can be said about the top register.

Interestingly and reluctantly combines softness of the supply of musical material with excellent sound detail. In addition, the columns play very well and at low volume.

Measurements

Ahh model is smooth, but the leading behavior is peculiar to the RF - a decline and a sharp rise. Bass deep. The books are almost perfectly smooth and extremely low. Very solid reserve at low frequencies. Impedance is quite stable.

conclusions

It should be noted that it becomes less and less interesting to study the results of measuring columns in our test laboratory. Almost all models have shown remarkably smooth response and very low books even in the bass region! This is explained by the fact that almost all companies have adopted computer modeling tools, with which you can get to sound, perhaps, anything that has already proved for us, for example, Boston Acoustics. Even the form of the body no longer plays such a significant role, the main thing is to correctly calculate the elements of damping. Therefore, all models are either good or excellent.

Two models from our test should be noted especially. This is MK Sound LCR 750 and DYNAUDIO DM 2/7. Companies that created them are initially focused on the development of professional acoustics and lead this line even in the youngest rules. The main principle is the maximum accuracy of the transfer of musical material. And no decorations. These two models fully respond to this principle and, in fact, are monitor acoustics of a professional level, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Not to all the listeners can like it in the sound, more precisely - on the neutrality of the sound. This is a product for special connoisseurs and lovers of music or even for a home studio. Both models are worthy of prize sympathies.

Almost already all companies have to-armed computer modeling means, with which you can get to sound, perhaps, anything

If we talk about beautiful and comfortable sound, then many columns of our test successfully coped with this task. Accuracy of the transfer of timbres, accurate localization, a neat bass - all this is inherent with almost all test speakers. The difference is only in the nature of the sound. And then the choice turned out to be rich: in the test you can find and dense, rich sound (PSB Imagine B), and implicitly sophisticated sound (Wharfedale Jade 3), and a tidy material feed (Canton Chrono 503.2), and an open air image (REGA RS1, B & W 685), and even defiantly aggressive pressure (Martin Logan Motion 15). However, I would like to highlight the French speakers Triangle Color Bookshelf. Almost any musical material they turn into a holiday sound. The columns are able not to miss the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe work and at the same time to file the material is very beautiful, alone and dynamically. They are very pleasant and interesting to listen. Model Triangle Color Bookshelf gets the title of test winner.

The choice of acoustics is not easy task. It would seem that the market dozens of good models, each has its own characteristics and the price. Summary - identical technique, but with different power and cost, to pay attention to? Does the sound of the sound and the number of columns affect the sound quality?

General column selection criteria

Acoustics

To begin with, we will try to figure out what the characteristics of "2.0", "5.1" and them are similar, which are found in audio descriptions.

1.0 – portable speakers. The sound quality is not very good, but they are comfortable for trips, as they have small sizes. Read more about how to choose portable columns -.

2.0 – Two frontal columns. Effects go in stereo mode, perfectly voiced favorite melodies, the sound is clearly transmitted when moving films.

2.1 – two front speakers and subwoofer. The bass is transmitted to the subwoofer, and other frequencies are on the speakers. If the first device is put on the floor, and the satellites - on the table, watching movies will give a maximum of pleasure, all the sound effects are perfectly transmitted. Lovers of high-quality sounding of music such a system will not suit, because the subwoofer resets low frequencies, the sound is a little distorted.

4.0 – two rear and two front speakers. Clean stereo sounds are ensured, designed for kinomans, but also for enjoying the music quite suitable.

4.1 – two rear and two front speakers are complemented by another column with a subwoofer.

5.1 – two front speakers, two - rear, central and subwoofer. Maximum sound effect is guaranteed. Designed for lovers of high-quality films and games with special effects.

Power

Here you need to rely not on your addiction, but on the scale of the room. For the middle apartment, 25-40 watts per canal. If the room is a large or own home, permissible 50-70 watts. Those who acquire audio equipment under the parties will suit 60-150 watts - for a large room, and from 120 watts - street format.

The discos created models of music centers, in which the emphasis is made precisely on productivity and low frequency. The best representative of this class is called Sony Shake-66D or LG CM9540. If you buy such equipment for the room, the sound will not reflect due quality and bass, it is designed for another space.

Frequency range

Clear and clean sound is guaranteed when the frequency of the bands is approaching the frequency range captured by hearing: from 20 to 20 thousand hertz. High quality equipment gives out sound and with higher indicators. The smaller the frequency, the stronger the bass are felt, and shooting in games and films is transmitted much brighter. So the bass lovers should pay attention to the columns that reproduce the frequency of 10 hertz, and Melomanans will most like the figure to 40 thousand hertz.

Material

This is not only design, sound depends on materials. For example, a wooden body gives sound better than plastic. Even when high volume Stripping and extraneous noises should not appear. If the model has legs, check whether they are well attached to the housing, whether the length is equal. If the column stands unevenly, then "swimming" and sound.

Models from MDF are most qualitative, from chipboard - more fragile, poorly carry humidity. Plastic wear rapidly. Aluminum protect the housing well, but distort the sound.

The TV speakers have their own characteristics of the sound, they also need to consider when buying.

1. Sensitivity. Responsible for the volume of sound than it is higher, the louder sound. If the indicators are high, then the amplifier does not need, the data on this indicator are noted in the technique. Acoustics with low sensitivity pulls up to 88 decibels, with high - from 94 to 102 decibels.
2. Power. Here it is important for the rule: the power of the amplifier should not be higher than the power of the speakers, otherwise the technique is simply braid. For a small room - up to 17 square meters, grade 80 watts.
3. Housing. The best is considered equipped with a phase inverter, it will be easier to be a closed type. If low frequencies are needed, choose outdoor acoustics, and for high - installed on the shelves.
4. Soundbar. It is called the "chopstick", which will improve any audio system. For the TV it is worth choosing an acoustic stand when the technique is put on the column.

The sizes of the column must be approaching the stand under the TV!

Of this series, LG, Maxell, Panasonic and Denon models have proven well. Excellent sound, when watching movies, a feeling is created, supposedly sound comes straight from the center. But there is a negative point. Soundbar stand does not cover an extensive range, low bass can be felt. Qualitative models give a great level, but it is small for the design under TVs.

If you are sure that without saunbar, it is not necessary to take into account such moments:

1. If the device stands far from the TV, it is recommended to equip the Bluetooth receiver hardware. APTX audio codec provide good soundBut it is important to take into account that wireless speakers for the TV is distinguished by the instability of the signal.
2. For a room in 20 squares, you can choose a power of 50 watts. If the TV will stand in the hall, which has about 30 squares, it is better to choose 100 watt power potential. Next - by increasing. The main thing is to learn when buying whether there is a TV in its parameters, passing the sound through the stand or the Soundbar set.

At home theatras columns are divided into:

• central, provide quality and sound effects;
• front, reproduce music and audio effects;
• rear, support acoustics in general.

If there is no subwoofer, the sound of bass is deteriorating, and the playback load is scattered onto the front speakers.

There are models of wired and wireless connectivity:

• passive, receive a signal from the central block;
• active, operate through 220 volts.

Assembly options

For assembling home theater, two schemes are developed: box and individual. The second requires the involvement of specialists and solid financial injections, as the details are selected at the request of the customer and are customized to the model. It is more convenient and easier, the so-called, box, when the instrument is assembled in the form in which it was purchased. It is worth noticeing to the model with a wireless rear acoustics, such a thing is a bit more expensive. An additional block is attached in the set - wireless rear speaker amplifier, it catches a signal from the central block. Power - from 220 volts, you will also need the wires to the rear speakers.

Power

What power will be optimal for home theater? The easiest calculation: 8-10 watts per square. If the room has up to 20 square meters, boldly buy the system to 200 watts. For such techniques, models of 2 classes are developed:

• Hi-Fi. Reproduces the sound is not bad, the cost is moderate.
• Hi-End. The quality of the sound is better better, but the price is higher.

For home theaters with a large diagonal, you can use systems, the total power of which reaches 500 watts.

The supasport usually indicates the largest peak power, and each manufacturer it is measured differently.

Columns for music

Experienced buyers will certainly study the vehocport and characteristics specified in it. When buying household equipment, it is important to consider:

1. Sensitivity loudspeaker. It is a characteristic of the degree of voice pressure. For example, if you connect columns of different sensitivity to one amplifier, the sound to reproduce the sound in which this indicator is higher. Better to navigate from 90 decibels.
2. Frequency range. We capture the sound from 16 hertz to 20 kilohertz, because the optimal range is 18-20 kilohertz.
3. Impedance. Standard - 4.6 or 8 ohms. If an amplifier is planned, you can choose a model with any indicators.
4. The largest continuous electrical power. The technical support is usually indicated the greatest or short-term, and it is important for you to know which columns can issue as long as possible, without prejudice to the technique. It is better to buy a system, the power of which is 30% higher than the power of the amplifier. For a home enough 30-100 watts.

Top 10 best speakers

When buying speakers, experts advise to look at such important details:

1. The sensitivity of the system should be no lower than 75 decibels.
2. In active devices, enhanced speakers are provided, partitive filters are located at the output of amplifiers.
3. Type of connection. The most convenient is the Mini Jack cable.
4. To save space, it is better to choose a wall-mounted model.
5. Before buying, it is necessary to listen to the sound, insistent that the amplifier has only the timbre stabilizer. Sometimes sellers using a multi-band equalizer tune the frequency range.
6. The sound source connected to the amplifier must only be a CD or DVD player with a Disk Audio-CD. Mp3 knocks the sound even expensive models.

What columns to choose is to solve you. But before you pay for them, spend a few minutes to listen to the sound on different levels Volume. This will help to avoid unpleasant surprises when connecting the equipment at home. Do not forget about the guarantee coupon and the technoperation to defend your rights if you forget to take into account.

In contact with

The staff acoustics of laptops and televisions often do not meet the needs of buyers, so the latter are increasingly thinking about buying an additional speaker system.

The general classification includes 8 types of acoustics, the most extensive of which is the class of front loudspeakers. They form the kernel of the stereo systems and in the case of multichannel connectivity can be used as independent stereo sources.

Already now the market of systems is more than oversaturated and many firms do not hold competition. We picked up the top 20 of the best acoustic systems in five categories, became:

• embeddable;
• concert;
• suspended;
• outdoor;
• shelf.

4 SVEN SPS-821

Unbounded classic
Country: China
The average price: 3370 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0

For 15 years, the SPS-821 has already confidently retains the status of one of the best non-visible sound systems in the world. Subwoofers and satellites are made of MDF, there are also chain regulators, both low and high frequencies. The total power is 40 W, and this is not a marketing digit, but a real characteristic. It serves for a long time and true to its owners.

From the disadvantages you can select peaks for 85 and 125 Hz, which are treated with an equalizer of the sound card. Perfectly suitable as an inexpensive solution for home or apartment. It can be used as an embedded, as all regulators are deposited on the front panel. 821 The model has become a reincarnation of 820, but with more modern color execution and increased by 20 mm low frequency drive.

3 Polk Audio RC55i

Optimum price
Country: USA (produced in China)
The average price: 18000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Not the most budget acoustics in our top we can characterize as a "good middle pepper." The lower threshold of frequencies is not the best here - 67 Hz, so the buyer will have to buy a subwoofer or simply not to navigate to low frequencies.

In fairness, we note that sacrificing the characteristics, the manufacturer skillfully cooled with dimensions, since the column itself is very compact. Weight almost 2 kg will allow you to carry it with you and embed it in any wardrobe. The 5.25 inches speaker has a dynamic balance of settings, allowing you to customize full bass. Rubber seals protect from moisture and dust. Another big plus is a long warranty in 5 years.

2 jamo IW 606

High maximum power indicator (120 W)
Country: Denmark
The average price: 34000 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Danish Jamo company definitely knows a sense in acoustics and has an Arsenal such a model as IW 606. The main viscos is an increased maximum power of 120 W at starters 60. It is worth noting that for stable work It is better to use basic frequencies, since the maximum is rapid wear of components. At 60 W, IW 606 reveals all its potential and serves as its owners for a long time.

The only spoon of the tar in the barrel of honey was the lower level of reproducible frequencies. The minimum mark of 65 Hz makes sound lovers to think about buying an additional subwoofer. If desired, you can make a claim and modest design, but will repeat - the appearance in the sound system is not important if you do not collect a studio or custom.

1 klipsch R-3800-W

Best sound quality
Country: USA
The average price: 26000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Before you, one of the best acoustic systems in the middle price segment is specifically for those who do not want to save on sound, but also preferent to refrain from overpay. In terms of quality and characteristics, the model corresponds to all the requests of even the most demanding customers. The rated power of 50 W is not a benchmark and the limit of dreams, but the column will perfectly fit into the home theater having a frequency range from 46 to 20,000 Hz. It pleases that the Americans have not become chased over the excess frequency range, which made it possible to reduce the price of the product.

The system copes well with the creation of stereo effects, but experienced buyers in their reviews are recommended to buy a subwoofer for greater clarity of the lower frequencies that are weak. As a supplement, we can celebrate the company's price policy - for several years now the price of the system holds at a mark of 26,000 rubles.

The best concert speakers

The most expensive and powerful systems for concert performances with high characteristics.

4 JBL 305P MK II

The best choice
Country: China
The average price: 15550 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The updated line of JBL monitors begins with the version of 305p, which will be talked. Included, instructions, cable and stickers on the bottom, as the legs are not provided here. IN new version Adjusted backlighting and night the monitor will not cut the eyes. The low-frequency driver reduces the number of distortion and improved linear characteristics.

The main minus is a terrible design. The glossy facial panel easily collects fingerprints and selects in bright light. In fairness, we note that bass here even debug. The amazing detail of the sound picture was achieved due to the quality component base. Superxile bass resonates even at low volume, if you put a speaker next to the wall. If you put such a house, you can immediately notice multiple noises. The model is positioned as a budgetary concert version and occupies a leading position in popularity among buyers.

3 Yamaha S112V.

Verified model
Country: Japan
The average price: 34900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The model that reminds the old one with all its species, but high-quality classics. A two-band speaker from the Japanese acoustics manufacturer is used mainly at club parties, since the quality of his sound completely satisfies the midnight hill. To say that they are perfect, alas, it is impossible. The quality of the assembly leaves much to be desired - the case is a mediocre product from a cheap plywood, which requires periodic twisting or complete replacement of fasteners.

When playing sound, small distortions are observed in the middle frequency area, even unprofessional listeners are capable of catching. But the cutting of high frequencies occurs quite delicately - there are inaccuracies in inaccuracies. A good representative of concert acoustics, giving adequate characteristics for its price.

2 yorkville yx15

Optimum price
Country: USA
The average price: 20664 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

An interesting concert loudspeaker providing steadily good quality Sound at all levels of frequency reproducible. Perhaps on the characteristics of this model, a relatively recent period of release is affected, since from the point of view of Yorkville YX15 surpasses the competing model of acoustics from Yamaha. Less than powerful, but much more balanced, it loses sound frequency from 60 to 20,000 Hz, and it makes it much more cleaner of his opponent. It has a built-in overload protection unit, due to which it does not burn and does not fail even subject to inadequate operation. The walls of the body are made of MDF with a thickness of 18 millimeters, and so that when buying has not had to independently screw the mounts. In general, according to the design of Yorkville YX15, it does not leave many of many - and the root, and the low-frequency speaker is "packed" under the grid, which the same Yamaha S112V, alas, is not enough.

1 RCF TTL11A-B

Best Power Indicator (4000 W)
Country: Italy
The average price: 391622 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Top, but not very popular because of its price an acoustic system for concerts. Special drivers accumulate all incoming sounds and are converted to transmit all the sound pattern. Additionally, you can control the audio tilt angle, which varies from 0 to 7 degrees in 8 preset profiles. This reduces the Echo effect.

The amplifier has a special network board with the RS-485 communication protocol to control system parameters, more detailed control and profile management. Despite all the listed pluses, the manufacturer left the ability to use this model in a pair with the subwoofer TTS25-A to enhance the low-frequency band. The maximum stated power is 4000 W.

Best Suspended Acoustic Systems

If there is no place on the floor, the built-in systems do not like and you need to create a surround sound field, this category for you.

4 Dali Alteco C-1

Universal monitors
Country: Denmark
Medium price: 18900 rub
Rating (2019): 4.8

The universal and musical suspension system is applicable to stereo, in multichannel mode and in Dolbyatmos. If you remove the "grill", then you can see the front panel, drowning inside the case, which reduces the free space and gives directional sound.

Put it on the top of the floor acoustics and get the effect of Dolbyatmos format, as in the cinema. Having hung it on the wall, the model can be used as a rear or side acoustics in the home theater. In the usual mode, the radiation is directed perpendicular to the plane of the set of speakers, but if you use a special switch, the angle of inclination becomes 25 degrees. Thus, you can adjust the sound stream to the location of the listener.

3 JBL Control 28

Best quality performance
Country: USA
The average price: 26300 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Very popular front-type suspended column, the quality of execution of which is superior to the lion's share of competing assemblies. First of all, it also affects not the fact of the factory quality, but how long the JBL Control 28 may be in operation. Reliable Case from MDF Contains a low-frequency paper emitter and titanium versions operating at high frequency. With adequate use of such a column, there is enough for more than ten years.

But the sound quality, alas leaves much to be desired. Special distortions reproduction of medium and high frequencies does not carry, however, and we should not expect something colorful from this process. JBL Control 28 is designed specifically in order to accompany an exciting television picture with a moderate sound, without transition to peak volume. This is the case when the price is fully ensured by the reliability and quality of execution.

2 Monitor Audio Radius R225

Wide range of reproducible frequencies (55-25000 Hz)
Country: United Kingdom
The average price: 37990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The product of the British manufacturer, characterized by a wide frequency range of sound playback. In each individual element of the MONITOR Audio Radius R225 pair speakers, the presence of grace and fine design designer feels. In the hope of standing out on a general background of most competitors, the developers decided to slightly reduce the width parameters and the depth of the model - they are equal to 120 and 105 millimeters, respectively. Despite this, they managed to accommodate the system almost all the top stuffing, in order to compile a significant competition in the world market.

The main advantage of the speakers is the exterior. Two choices of the consumer are given two options for trimming - natural beech veneer or pink wood with white, black or silver lacquered coating. Considering the foregoing, the cost of the system looks quite fair.

1 Sonus Faber Wall Domus

Best Power Dynamics
Country: Italy
The average price: 42770 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

Suspended columns are very rarely superior to the characteristics of outdoor models, but in terms of the part of the quality are capable of turning above. The Italian company Sonus sought all lovers of good sound with the original pair of acoustic speakers, the use of which forms a very clear sound picture. A fully standard frequency range is supplemented with 150 W rated power and not too high sensitivity (about 88 dB), so the system requires amplifiers of approximately similar power characteristics. Of the pleasant features of Faber Wall Domus, you can select the presence of magnetic protection, protecting the overload speaker. The rest is almost a standard system, the total weight of which is without a small ten kilogram. The total cost can scare the potential buyer, but the funds spent are guaranteed to pay off long years of work and high sound quality.

Country: China
The average price: 3070 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Externally, this system resembles a mixture of a washing machine and a music center. Do not forget that the appearance in acoustics is not the main thing, therefore, from the merits, we will stop at the absolutely brutal subwoofer in the framework of its class. Plus for many will be the output for connecting microSD cards.

Basa in a small scale here more than not bad. Satellites are collected qualitatively, have magnetic shielding, and they sound well. 40 watts at the outlet plus a good volume margin made from MS-302 pets on the market, and on Yandex the product has an honorary status "Choosing buyers". After surcharge 200 rubles, you can take the MS-304 version of the more stylish design and the presence of Bluetooth.

3 Dali Zensor 5

Good price and quality ratio
Country: Denmark
Average price: 39500 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Another representative of Denmark, who has proven himself as a strong middle jack of acoustics market. Despite the release of newer models of the series, Dali Zensor 5 continues to use stable demand for users. There are several reasons for this: first, its balancedness played an important role in popularizing the goods. Standard power and sensitivity indicators (150 W and 88 dB, respectively) are complemented by good high-frequency susceptibility (up to 26,500 Hz).

From the characteristics of the structure, it is necessary to highlight the presence of two speakers responsible for low frequencies, due to the complete effect of the presence of the subwoofer (low-power budgetary saba). But to the disadvantages, some consumers include the weight of the product. How legitimate this remark is unknown, however, it should be noted that some competing systems weigh much more.

This is an amazing combination of the purest, detailed to the smallest particles of sound and good work to ensure the correct acoustic effect. Reproducible frequencies range from 25 to 30,000 Hz, which, in fact, eliminates the need to buy a subwoofer. The rated power of the system is limited by the value of 110 W, with the maximum power that does not cause damage to the speakers is 170 W.

One of the features of the front speakers is the presence, in fact, a three-channel soundproofing system, with a rendered speaker for medium frequencies. But the high-frequency emitter was subjected to a ruthless decrease - its diameter is only 25 millimeters. However, this does not prevent the system to work out peak values \u200b\u200bgently and without distortion.

Rating (2019): 4.6

Another representative of the American JBL company purchased by users to place regular computer speakers. It is unknown for now why such a large stir formed exactly around this model. It is really complete advantages, but it is often not devastable. For example, some models make permanent background noise on medium and high frequencies, even subject to a good connection and power from an alternative electrical outlet. But at the same time, in terms of power indicators, and by the rest of the key parameters, the column is at a stable competitive level. The cost is not overestimated, adequately corresponds to the declared characteristics, but also does not indulge potential buyers with its modesty.

2 Pioneer S-DJ50X

High quality performance. Select users
Country: Japan
Average price: 10992 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

This Pioneer S-DJ50X Phase Inverter Loudspeaker is intended for recruiting multimedia devices, including desktop computers. The successful combination of stereo speakers and the functions of the amplifier is an improvised "paradise" for the present Melomanana. The general gain of low frequencies is 26 W, and high - up to 54 watts. To couple with the rated power of emitters (80 W) and the ability to reproduce sound frequency from 50 to 20,000 Hz, Pioneer S-DJ50X can be a good acquisition on the verge of professional equipment.

The only significant deficiency of the technique is reduced, in fact, to the omission of manufacturers. Scuntful equipment, which includes only the power wire and the system itself, delivers some inconvenience to users, which the lattes could not not mention in responses.

1 Yamaha HS8.

Wide range of reproducible frequencies (38-30000 Hz)
Country: Japan
The average price: 21900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

As it often happens that the ideal of the technique does not have enough greater inner potential. But Yamaha HS8 is exactly the reverse case. Controversial appearance (not too terrible, but not the most beautiful) compensated by the original combination high power (about 120 W) and the frequency range (from 38 to 30,000 Hz), which provides the system with an accurate way to transmit even the most minor sound troops, beauty and false music. The built-in amplifier also gives a significant increase in power: for low frequencies up to 75 W, and for high - no more than 45 watts.

Despite the aforementioned non-zeysh view, the construction of the case is characterized by a high degree of reliability. The box itself is made of MDF, which is why the weight of the system increased to ten kilograms. Of course, the cost from the category "under 20 thousand" is able to scare some buyers, but it is impossible to call this model any expensive.
