My Less Than $200 Speaker System

[Mark of Cenla]

I recently bought a pair of Dayton Audio Classic B40 bookshelf speakers that I pair with Rockville 8 inch subwoofer. They cost me about $180, and they sound great to me. Did any of you find new, cheap speaker system that you like? Peace and goodwill.

I've heard cheap speakers (made in China) that sounded decent with subwoofers - sounded at least as good as many "Pro speakers" and other relatively inexpensive speakers.

I think the key is having good bass, which the subs can fix.

Would they subjectively sound better if they had pretty cabinets that cost $2K? Probably.

Would they subjectively sound even better if they had both $2K cabinets and FR that is +/-2dB? You bet!

Best buy for me are the pair of JBL LSR305 active speakers I got for $180 a while back. Still haven't added a sub to that setup, but I rarely use it otoh, just a spare bedroom/office setup.

Hey, if the speakers are music to your ears at your low budget price, that's all that matters. Enjoy!

I still have my Micca MB42Xs. They were $80 back then Adequate bass for their size and price and sound better than one would expect.

The question is, how did these cheap a$$ speakers LOOK aesthetically?
