Our take
We all want to hear music the way it was intended to be heard. Clear, uncolored, impressive detail levels, wide soundstage (allowing music to exist in a large and detailed three-dimensional space - all from the comfort of your listening position)...However, the only problem separating us from this is money. It costs a lot to build a respectable HiFi setup in Malaysia.
Hence, we took it upon ourselves to explore and find the best of the best affordable entry level audiophile gadgets in the USA & UK...and here's Dayton Audio B452 6 1/2" Two-Way, the Best Cheap Bookshelf Speaker to get you started on your audiophile journey!
Product details
Don't judge a speaker by its size! The Dayton Audio B452 4-1/2" bookshelf speaker is the smallest in the Dayton Audio family, but the sound is big. A newly-designed 4-1/2" polypropylene cone woofer with 4-layer voice coil achieves excellent balance and listenability when combined with the 5/8" ferrofluid-cooled polycarbonate tweeter, for surprisingly rich, detailed sound from a small, affordable speaker. While cheap speakers use plastic enclosure parts to cut costs, the inexpensive B452 uses a sturdy wood-composite cabinet that minimizes resonance and enhances warmth without sacrificing clarity.
The B452 bookshelf speaker fits into a space only 5.5" wide and less than 6" deep, making it the perfect choice for desktop listening, or compact surround speakers in a home theater surround-sound system. A built-in keyhole wall hanger bracket makes it a breeze to wall-mount the B452 in any desired location. For a room-filling listening experience with deeper bass that rivals larger full-sized speakers, the B452 speaker also pairs perfectly with any of the excellent Dayton Audio powered subwoofers.
Anywhere you enjoy music, the balanced sound of the B452s add a new dimension of affordable enjoyment.
Note: These speakers are not powered and will need to be powered by an amplifier.
