GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO A SOUNDBAR
I don’t know what to say about these speakers as I’m simply blown away. The price is $10 higher at $50 than when I bought them in late April. But they are still a bargain. (A price rise because of tariffs?)This will be a long review as I want to explain not only about the excellent sound quality, irrespective of the price, but also why they are so versatile, as I have a very unusual application.I bought my first HiFi components more than 50 years ago, and I have just repurchased the same components I had in college back in 1975; a Technics SA-8000X 4-channel quadraphonic receiver and an SL-1300 direct drive turntable. I have just returned to vinyl and wanted to take the preamp output of the SA-8000X and run it through a Bluetooth transmitter ($25) to the DS6701NP speakers. And using the same Bluetooth transmitter, I streamed the sound to an excellent $125 Rockville Rock Shaker 8 Classic Wood, 8″ Powered Subwoofer.Here’s how it works as the low-frequency roll off of this set of satellite speakers mates perfectly (using the included remote control) to the subwoofer, resulting in a perfect match with the built-in high-pass crossover set at 60 Hz.And here’s where the rubber meets the musical road. Often, you will hear someone talking about a speaker’s musicality and the little powerhouses deliver in spades. For this review, I unwrapped two still-sealed LPs: the Beatles Hard Day’s Night soundtrack from 1964 and Fleetwood Mac’s best-selling Rumours from 1977, two albums I must have played hundreds of times over the last 50 years.On Hard Days Night, my two favorite tracks are I Should Have Known Better and I’ll Be Back. Let me start with I’ll Be Back. John’s voice is crystal clear and is in perfect sync with his acoustic guitar. The bass is almost overpowering with the little Rockville 8-inch subwoofer. Listening to the combination put a smile on my face as it transported me back to my dorm room five decades ago. I’ll Be Back gives the listener a preview of what is to come with Rubber Soul and Revolver, less than two years later, easily the most mature track on the album from a songwriting perspective.And then there’s I Should Have Known Better. I was simply stunned. This is one of my five favorite Beatles recordings from the pre-Sgt. Pepper era. My memories of this track go back even further, to seeing Hard Day’s Night in a theater with my nine-year-old cousin in the Fall of 1964. For a recording from so early in the Beatles’ career, it is a pinnacle of Beatlemania output. Again, the midrange clarity was completely unexpected, a quality that belies these speakers’ modest price. For shits and giggles I synced-up the LP with a video of railway car sequence from Hard Day’s Night and watched it with the audio from the record. It was simply wonderful.Over the years I’ve had many satellite speaker systems dating all the way back to 1977 when I had a set of Braun mini speakers in tandem with a very early M&K 12-inch subwoofer. I easily had the best sound system on campus (I was selling HiFi components on campus, and that business literally paid for my undergraduate degree), and my classmates were simply blown away by the sound coming from the mini speaker with the subwoofer tucked away in the corner of the room.The only area where these speakers fall short is how loud they play. But it’s not really fair to compare them to setups using a separate receiver producing 70 watts per channel RMS power like the Marantz 2270 I had at the time. But at a very respectable volume and properly setting up the levels coming from the Bluetooth transmitter and the volume controls on the speakers, I couldn’t drive the speakers to produce audible distortion, especially in the upper mid-range frequencies.On to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. After unwrapping the brand new album on Coke-bottle clear vinyl ($16 from Amazon, which is the best bargain I’ve seen for a new vinyl LP), I cued up Go Your Own Way, which is, in my opinion, the most memorable track. There is so much going on; vocals, instruments, the low-frequency foundation from the bass and drums, and the details from 100 Hz to over 15 kHz reminded me of studio monitors I’ve listened to over the years. Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar work was so detailed that I thought I was listening to a pair of $1,000 bookshelf speakers.Just to reinforce my evaluation, I found the track on YouTube from Fleetwood Mac’s 1999 tour, a concert I attended in Los Angeles. The track on YouTube has been viewed 51 million times so I know I’m not the only one who loves the track. Even though I’ve listened to this track many, many times, these little speakers handled Buckingham’s guitar solo so well. Watching and listening, I felt that Fleetwood Mac was at the top of their game with this performance.If you are considering a soundbar, forget about it. Pick up a set of these speakers and mate them to something like the Rockville subwoofer as I have. I’m thinking of buying a second set and setting up a proper 1970s-style quad system, all for way less than $500. If you haven’t already bought a turntable and don’t want to go the vintage route as I have, I’ve found a killer $100 turntable that I just set up, the 1 by One belt drive turntable that has an amazing tonearm for the price with a decidedly retro look. I can’t think of a better way to spend $500 for a complete with four satellites with one subwoofer that will provide satisfactory listening levels in all but the biggest home listening environments.I hope you enjoyed this review. I might have gotten a bit carried away but having fooled around with HiFi gear for more than five decades, I think don’t think that these speakers will disappoint you.

These speakers sound good for their size, but how about some truth in advertising?
The speakers are advertised as 40w but the math doesn’t work. They might as well say that they are 4000 watts…The power supply clearly says 17.5V and 1.1A.Volts * Amps = Watts. 17.5 *1.1A =19.8 watts at 100 percent efficiency (which is impossible)That means it’s impossible for the speakers to even have10 watts per channel.Other then that, I think they look good and are a good value for the money. They are easy to setup and connect to with Bluetooth. The remote is handy but no really needed with the functionality of the Bluetooth.

Completely satisfied
Perfect for in room audio. Speakers really have quite a bit of bass. 5 stars on the bass alone. Optimal performance from small subwoofer. Not loud enough for outdoor use. Absolutely perfect to jam out inside to music.Clean look and easy use.

Good product, good customer service.
Great looking and sounding speakers at an excellent price! When they first arrived, I wasn’t able to power the speakers on. After some testing I was able to determine the issue was with the included power adapter. The customer service was responsive and very helpful, getting me fully squared away with minimal effort on my part.
