Just recently purchased a pair of L52s. Have them on an old school kenwood. At 4 ohms unit only pumps 55 per channel. There definitely is a brake in period. Awesome units. Really brought out the best the Kenwood could be. Love them well worth the money. Highly recommend.
My old Yamaha CR400 amp has this specs: continuous performance 8 Ohm: 2x 20 Watt 4 Ohm: 2x 24 Watt dynamic performance 8 Ohm: 2x 56 Watt 4 Ohm: 2x 76 Watt Will this be okay for the speakers? I will not hear them too loud, but I am worried about the rather low sensitivity.
Hmm, I'm kinda looking at doing a 3.1 setup (Right/Center&Base/Left) in my room. Also going for that 70's/80's vibe. Though my setup is oriented for PC, and a bit different.. The whole setup is being built around my bed, queen size. TV and PC at the foot of my bed on a floor stand. Rolling table that straddles my bed and has all my peripherals setup on it. Overall keeping things very symmetrical in my room. Just a work in progress. Not sure if I'll run the Audio through software and a DAC/AMP or AVR yet. I'll probably pick up the audio equipment the same time or around then as my TV. But overall it'll be used for a bit of everything. (Gaming, Movies, Series, YT/Streaming, Music) So trying to figure out a setup that will offer a nice balance and a bit of oomf when I want it. Thinking in the range of a 400 to 600 watt system/setup..
I wanted to know how they sound for that price and here I get an impression. More and more I think now "going big" is the problem. When one listens to Edifiers or other small quality active speakers, the sound is very fast, bright but in a smooth way while on very expensive equipment, there is more of a wide sound stage surely and they can go very loud without distortion but the sound is less fast, intimate and near. I always sense a kind of shrillness although it is probably imagination. I bought in the 80's a Kenwood amplifier and Celistion Ditton Four speakers (both quality) and expected music heaven for that money. It's was so disappointing. A additionally bought equalizer helped only a little bit. Now recently, I found those little active speakers and these are really what I was always dreamed of, how a good installation should sound. But they are so cheap. What makes them sound so pleasant?? Is it the integrated short pathway? Is it the modern magnets ?
Hello, I have a question, I come from Germany. What is the best way to set up the speakers? Should the bass opening look outwards or should the tweeter look outwards? because the speakers are not labeled left or right.
The base and tweeter should definitely be facing any walls or objects because it might reflect or distort the sound. But up to your preference to angle it slightly depending on your home size. If the speakers are not labeled as left or right, it typically doesn’t matter which one is placed on the left or the right. What’s more important is that they are placed symmetrically in relation to the main listening position for a balanced stereo image.
I'd say the KEF LS50 Wireless II are much more detailed and clean, with a wider soundstage. And of course, advantage that they're wireless. Do keep in mind though, that the KEF speakers are like 3x the price I think

Hello, between this jbl and q acoustics 5020 which you think is a better option? Thanks a lot

Are these the same speakers as the JBL C52? Thanks.

Good work! Would like to see more home theater reviews on this channel :)
Thanks Vincent!
You tested the KEF ls 50ws. Can you describe the difference in terms of sound to the KEF ls50ws !?
I'd say the KEF LS50 Wireless II are much more detailed and clean, with a wider soundstage. And of course, advantage that they're wireless. Do keep in mind though, that the KEF speakers are like 3x the price I think
