Dayton Audio B652-AIR 6.5" Bookshelf AMT Ribbon Speakers Pair

Excellent Speaker

Great dynamic range.

Purchased these speakers for my ham shack. They get mild use and have been in service for over a year and are holding up well. Mostly voice but I do play music once in a while and I've been happy with there performance to date. No problems or complaints.

I bought these to use for studio monitors in a small space. The sound quality is really good. Not really any cons I can find other then I do think any speaker is better if they have ports though many do not. I am a serious critic to audio quality and these passed my test. If I needed another pair I would certainly buy another.

A nice balanced speakers. The AMT tweeters have a very clear sound. Playing them loud, in which I love to do. They have no distortion.

I am completely satisfied with these speakers. The sound quality is excellent and the bass is much better than I expected.

The best computer speaker out thereNeeds to have a subwoofer

Been an audio enthusiast for years. Very impressed with the 652 Air speakers. The bookshelf pair and the towers are amazing at their pricepoint.

These are dandy little speakers within their limitations. Even though the woofer is a generous 6.5 inches in nominal diameter, there is very little deep bass and I would very strongly recommend using them with a subwoofer crossed over at 100-125 Hz if you want credible "hi-fi" performance. The little "AMT" tweeter is truly excellent -- it is wisely wired in reverse polarity with respect to the woofer, but the attenuation resistor is a bit too low in value and thus the highs are on the "hot" side -- that's pretty tolerable in a typical music listening or "home theater" room, but fatiguing for desktop and other "near field" applications. I recommend a 5 ohm resistor instead of the 3 ohm factory part -- or you can just put a 2 ohm 3-5 watt resistor in series between the tweeter and the existing resistor to fix that, which unfortunately will void the (generous 5 year!) warranty, but IMO that's well worth the risk.Read full review...

I've always been a fan of the AMT style tweeter. They seem to produce very smooth and detailed high frequencies.I saw these, read the reviews and thought I'd check them out. They are so inexpensive if they didn't pan out no big deal. They arrived on a Saturday about 2:30. I know speakers need a break in period so I hooked them up, put my receiver on 2 channel stereo mode and gave them a listen. I left the room and came back in 4 hrs. and they were a whole different speaker!! They now sounded pretty darn good!!I have have a 3.1 set up in my bedroom using a M.L. motion 6 center and I'm happy to say they gel very well with it.Honestly I'd have been happy if I paid $200 for the pair. Great mid-range, great highs and a surprising amount of bass. Great soundstage and imaging. Very airy sound. I believe the 87db sensitivity rating is a bit higher than claimed by the manufacturer. I'd put them around 89-90db. I ordered the matching center channel as I like to have matching speakers.Bottom line: If you are on the fence about these speakers just pull the trigger! Give them some time to loosen up and you will be rewarded with a great sounding speaker for dirt cheap!! Haven't listened to any music yet but for home theater surround sound I'm quite impressed.Note: I am a 56 year old audiophile who has a very discerning ear.Read full review...
