6.5" Home Wooden Bookshelf Speakers, 240W Max Power, 1" Silk Dome Tweeter and Aluminum Voice Coils, Pair, Gold Plated 5 Way Binding Post, Rubber Surrounds, Beautiful Wood Grain Finish PHQBS62

So if you are not use to good sound or have never heard a high quality bookshelf speaker you might say these are good. But they sound less then ok. They look great but small stuff like name badge placed crooked and off centre was a downer as it’s glued on and won’t remove without damaging grill cloth. They sound just blah. Nothing to write home about. My source was my NAD amp, I will run them on the tube amp shortly and update. UPDATE** So after connecting a cheap hybrid tube amp while streaming off my phone, I have found myself completely eating my words. I’m sure now there is an issue with my NAD receive and these speakers deserve a much better review then originally posted. They are detailed, sound very lively and honestly sound better then my home speakers do. I am still not pleased with the crooked logo but I do care if they sound this good. I have approx 4hrs on them now and they still wow me.

I can't find anything wrong with these speakers - bass, midrange, treble, soundstage. It's all there and it's amazing for the price. Super enjoyable to listen too, makes the music come to life. I purchase lower cost (under $150) bookshelf speaker offerings off of amazon as they pop up and listen to them for amusement. More often than not, the lower cost speakers are better than expected. These are no different, but much more so. For under $120 at the time of this review - they *easily* sound as good as anything in the $500-800/pr range by more respected manufacturers. I've Got them running off a Fosi V3 amp using a FiiO KA11 Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Adapter streaming music from Spotify (@ CD quality). I've stated this before in other reviews - your experience may differ, but I doubt it if you have at least the gear I stated. Anyone who has negative reviews about this speaker - likely has hearing problems or mediocre electronics.

So far, so good. The build quality looks great. I got them hooked to my amplifier/receiver and started playing several different genres of music to be able to hear all the sounds these speakers can produce. I was pleasantly surprised. Great sound from such a small package. These speakers hit all the notes, from high frequency to low frequency. For a 6.5 speaker it has really great bass, granted it's not a 10,12, or 15 inch sub, but for what it is, it has a good punch to them. And I've noticed that the more I use these speakers the better they sound. I never thought you had to break in speakers, but after a little research on the subject, you absolutely need to break them in. I have them hooked up to my 500w amplifier, my Amp has 125w per channel. I have slowly been up-ing the volume to break them in. My receiver/amplifier goes up to 30 on volume, and I can now push the 125w per channel on volume 30 with absolutely no detectable distortion. So if you're looking for a decent speaker package at a low price point, these speakers don't disappoint. Granted that these are not high end tower speakers or other bigger home stereo speakers, but for them being a bookshelf speaker they work amazingly. We have an open concept living room/kitchen. So my amplifier and speakers are under my TV. So with them being in what I would consider a medium to large room, living/kitchen area I'm in a space that's 30'x17' and these speakers don't disappoint. So now I do want to,,, in the near future, add a passive 12" subwoofer to take some of the low end bass off of the bookshelf speakers. So basically my overall opinion of these speakers are that you get a great bang for your buck. I would definitely recommend these for people looking for great sounding speakers at a low price point.

Sound is very clear

First off we should temper our expectations from a speaker at such a low price. Specially one with a rather large 6.5in woofers. What I noticed after listening to these speakers is that they are quite bright with a peaky treble at ~7khz and ~10khz area creating a bit of “buzz” in the highs. The Bass is lacking unfortunately, i think you will be best getting a subwoofer if you want these. Trying to add more bass via EQ will make the mids sound muddy. These speakers need a lot of power so I don’t recommend a tube amp. I’m glad Pyle didn’t add fake bass boost like most budget speakers but I still expected more out of 6.5in woofers. The midrange is somewhat neutral to recessed. Imaging is good and very centred. Soundstage is great for the price. Volume is good if you have the power (~100w RMS) and it fills up a medium sized room without distortion at 90db. If you’re using this for a home theater setup, the hardest part will be finding a matching center (there is none). For that reason I wouldn’t recommend these for home theater. I only used it for stereo 2.1 music so it’s fine. I like the cherry wood finish, but I’m not sure if it’s actually wood though. I don’t like the grille as it’s too thick and lacks magnets. I also think the speakers look ugly from the front so I keep the grille on, but for such a low prices they get the job done. Overall in the budget category the Micca RB42s sound more balanced, are better looking, better built, and offer much better bass. But they cost nearly twice as much as the Pyles in Canada. So If you can equalize these Pyles and get a subwoofer, then I think the Pyles are a better bang for the buck. You could do far worse even at this price range, but you can also do much better at about $100 more.
