Nice looking and cheap. I wonder if the cabinets can take a good knock. Nope I don't need them, but would like to hear impression. Are ya gonna try them Z?

 

[j_garcia]

No and then...

 

[afterlife2]

I do still have my $200 credit at PE.... But I would rather do AALs instead

The cabinets should Fail the knock test - due to the price, it would be a small miracle
if there was any bracing - also due to price, damping material should be limited.

They are short for tower speakers - Dimensions: 30" H x 7.1" W x 9.5" D > and weigh in
at 30 lbs.

NO, I am not interested in checking them out - we will leave that
for you to handle. Have fun and enjoy the adventure!

No can do the 52's are the best for me right now. My recent CD by Linda Ronstant sounded great last night. WHOA. I bet CNET will like them.

Ok, then look at the Snell LCR-7 package - less than 2 days left!

I have the K7 bookshelf speakers from the same family - that series is real nice,
and they do sound good.

Have fun!

I do not know who the OP is! However, I will look for him.

Anyway, the Dayton speakers will have many fans out there - and Dayton will
move a lot of them.

No doubt why they released them just prior to the holidays. Can't imagine what these will sell for come black Friday WOOT! I also predict they will sell like proverbial hotcakes.

I wonder if they have a center as well?

Hi. My name's suspicious. Those look like the same woofers as the ones in the 652, which have absolutely no bass in a sealed cabinet. Doubling up on woofers doesn't give you deeper bass--just more sensitivity. My guess is that these sound as bad as the 652's. I have to presume that they tweaked the woofer parameters a little to work in a ported cabinet, but 45 Hz? Suspicious. But I wonder how much they cost with my wholesale account....?

I'm glad I 'm not the only one that feels this way about the 652's. I expected more from a 6 1/2 driver.

I bought a pair for S&G (and I can't resist a bargain) when the media hoopla first hit, played 'em for about two days, and now they are in the cellar until I can figure out who might be able to appreciate them. Perhaps one of my less audiophile friends in need of a small system.

Every inch of those screams "I can say I have towers". Tweeter looks like it belongs in a boombox, and that foam on the woofer mounting flange... yeah that's old school. They're not expensive, and they're not expensive.
