Economy class acoustic systems

Acoustic models in the budget price segment include a range of manufacturers from Germany, the USA, China and Denmark. The cost of devices produced by these brands does not exceed 20 thousand rubles. Sound devices from these manufacturers often have technical characteristics almost identical to more expensive brands. Beginner music lovers will find all the necessary functions in them:

• sound quality;
• connecting amplifiers or receivers of different types;
• the ability to play songs of any genre.

JBL Stage A180

Working in conjunction with an amplifier, the device is connected using a wire via bi-wiring. It is well worth the money invested in it. Some stores sell this device at a reasonable price. Good bass depth without any extraneous rattling. The upper sounds do not cause discomfort in the form of cutting the ears, the middle sounds are soft, without dips.

If you do not take into account working with a high-quality amplifier and setting certain settings, then this device can be given a “4”. The sound is muffled, there is no clear sound at the upper frequency. The system has good build quality, but on some models the body coating peels off.

Costs an average of 19,900 rubles.

It has a power of 50W, it has support for memory cards and the ability to play songs with rich scenes. This effect is achieved after setting certain settings.

There is a lack of high frequencies, but there are no extraneous sounds in the bass, and the mid frequencies provide surround sound. To make the sound better, many music lovers, when writing reviews about this model, recommend replacing the wires included in the kit with a similar cable containing oxygen-free copper. By connecting an external card, you can get the most out of this system.

This model shows rapid failure of the equipment, primarily the connecting wire supplied in the package. Speakers are second in line on this list. After purchase, you can carry out minor adjustments to the device, increasing its service life.

Costs an average of 11,950 rubles.

Yamaha NS-F150

Hi-Fi acoustics, classified as “economy” equipment, are considered passive devices. It is worth noting the build quality of the device and thoughtful design. The device can be combined with an amplifier, subwoofer or receiver (or other equipment). The device operates over the entire range of specified frequencies. The bass quality is good, but cannot be compared to a subwoofer. This model is more suitable for fans of TV programs and films than for listening to audio tracks. There is no squeak in the upper frequencies, and there is no sound dip in the middle. But if the music is turned on loudly, the sound is distorted.

According to customer reviews, the system must be configured to obtain good sound or combined with an amplifier or receiver. The new system does not produce sound quality. The weak points of the device include the small thickness of the wire, the presence of a bass reflex in the rear part, which indicates the need to place the device at a respectful distance from the stage, and the weakness of the tweeters.

Costs an average of 10,300 rubles.

The device is not equipped with a cutoff frequency control. There is no provision for disconnecting the power cable. There is no Sleep option or on/off button. These disadvantages are easily forgotten, thanks to the low cost and high-quality performance.

Costs on average 10,990 rubles.

Canton GLE

High-power system of instrumental three-way acoustics, and components with low sound impedance. This floor-standing equipment is considered one of the best solutions for sounding a small room and home use. The improved 3-way structure creates brightness of sound, and the presence of high power is a complete guarantee of excellent audibility and fairly loud bass.

The maximum speaker intensity is 320 W, which makes it possible to use good amplifiers. The characteristic susceptibility and available electrical conductivity allow compatibility with any reproducing unit. An additional detail is that the speaker is equipped with a pair of dynamic low-frequency emitters. This characteristic indicates its use without the use of a subwoofer.

The bass is rich and palpable, and two dynamic drivers are responsible for the mid and high frequencies. A notable addition are the gold-plated connectors.

Price - 64,000 rubles.

Canton GLE

Advantages:

• good stage organization;
• noticeable bass;
• acoustic insulation and excellent build quality.

Flaws:

• when you turn up the volume, a kind of high-frequency “rustle” appears;
• impossibility of connecting with bi-wiring;
• exaggeration of mid and high frequencies, which increases sound detail.

Monitor Audio Bronze 5

A model characterized by precise bass and pleasant sound. A very powerful, compact and reliable sample. There are no unnecessary embellishments during switching on. We noticed the presence of a collected and detailed sound with a smooth frequency response, dynamic and wide range. When connected to a good amplifier, bass sensitivity starts from 30 – 35 Hz. The high frequency is crystal clear, without impurities or “dirt,” with a deep and gentle midrange. Although there is a deviation: “metallic” reproduction does not give the necessary sharpness, but the instrumental sound is rated “5+”.

Negative reviews have not been noticed, if you do not take into account an insignificant external detail - the shell of the speakers is thin, and the amount of noise insulation and vibration material is not enough. However, they fully correspond to the stated price.

Average cost: 65,000 rubles.

HECO Victa Prime 702

A floor-standing Hi-Fi device that requires pre-warming, which gives the speakers better sound, with a more detailed stage and soft lows. Acoustics from a German manufacturer receive mixed reviews.

Praising reviews speak of the richness of the stage, pleasant bass and non-screaming highs. Others point out shortcomings and speak not very flatteringly about the model, speaking about Chinese fakes. The colossal differences between such technological characteristics are the presence of defects. Owners have come across examples with poor quality finishes. The surface is instantly covered with small bubbles, the internal wiring wires are observed tangled into a ball, and therefore a low sound is noted.

Average price: 32,000 rub.

Musical equipment belongs to the mid-budget passive segment. Hi-Fi floor-standing speakers are slightly superior to inexpensive models. Like most similar devices, the device is connected via bi-wiring from JBL. Receiver/amplifier compatible, the case has thick walls with internal weighted magnets.

Good sound is suitable for watching movies and playing at fun parties, rather than for the usual enjoyment of quiet music. There is poor detailing with an unpleasant echo. But a competent approach with the correct placement and configuration will easily eliminate the problem that has arisen. Minor shortcomings relate to the too dull, discreet design and the impossibility of regulating the hum.

Average price: 50,000 rub.
