SINGING WOOD T25 Passive Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - 60W Home Stereo Audio - 4" Woofer, Silk Dome Tweeter - Wall Mountable - Perfect for Home Theater, Studio Monitor, Record Player - Black Wood Finish

I love these speakers and I love the price. I have a low-cost, Class D receiver (from a well-known Japanese electronics manufacturer) that puts out 10 watts RMS per channel (20 total) that sounded flat and scratchy with the factory provided speakers. I wanted to try a speaker upgrade and the reviews and price of these Singing Wood speakers fit the bill. I attached them to my receiver with 16-gauge, 100 percent copper speaker wire. I was instantly shocked at the improvement I heard when I fired them up for the first time. More depth from the bass and clearer, crisper treble, while still retaining a decent mid-range. All in all, they really fill out our 20 x 10 foot kitchen with beautiful music that didn’t bust the bank. BTW, you only need 5 - 30 watts RMS per channel (10 – 60 total) to drive these speakers. It says so right on the box.

I needed these after my old powered speakers died. I have a yamaha receiver and I plugged these into the main l/r and they sound great. I turned on an old Blader Runner mp4 and couldn't be happier. I really appreciate a well engineered and thought out product. The connectors can take either a banana plug or just speaker wire, which they provide. No problem identifying the l/r as the wire is color coded and stripped and tinned on the ends. The jacks unscrew to reveal a small hole to put the wire through, easier than trying to wrap it around, which you could also do. The terminals are even on a bit of an angle to make it easier. I got the wood finish, and they look fabulous. Nice setup for hanging them all the wall also and the front covers can come off, just like my $3000 JBLs on my other system. These can also serve as a nice pair of surround speakers. The price is so great I might buy another pair and use one for a center speaker. I did add a bit of eq from my receiver, to boost the high end, but no distortion. I don't play them very loud, as I've left my hippie days behind, but they did take a decent volume level. All in all, a great purchase.

Sounds Great And Good Build Quality Too Comes With Speaker Wire the Only Thing I Didn't Like About it was it came with one small deep scratch on the Black Oak Wood Grain The Seller Was Very Nice And Polite About the Issue I Recommend People to Buy It For the Good Sound Quality and Build Quality Too The Price is Good And it's Worth Buying it That why I am Rating it 4 Stars

Good highs and natural mid-range for voice, but need s subwoofer for realty good bass, although the bass is good for such a small woofer.

Pretty good sound for the size

At first the sound coming from the Singing Wood T25 Passive 2 Way Bookshelf Speakers sounded like a radio with static. The connections and speaker wire were not the problem nor were either of the Fosi Audio BT30D or Aiyma D05 amps I connected them to. After a few days the sound quality greatly improved and the T25 Passive speakers are now a pleasure to listen to. Passive speakers sometimes need a break in period. As near-field speakers the T25 are great in a small room. For the price, they are worth considering for anyone on a tight budget who want good sound quality. I would recommend pairing the T25 passives with a quality mini-amp but should work fine with any 25-30 Watt X 2 amp.

For a set of bookshelf speakers under $60 they are a great value. Bindind posts for speaker connections -> sweet! Nicely done MDF enclosures - > sweet! A couple of things tho.. The grill covers are not sonically transparent, there is a noticeable reduction in the upper frequencies when they are on. This can be good however, if they seem bright to you leave them on. I noticed a small amount of resonance with some tracks that had a lot of percussion ( accelerating the break in which took about 24 hours of playing the bassiest music I could think of at a relatively high volume) I removed the 4" speaker to see what was going on inside and I noticed there was no batting inside. I had some laying around from a previous project so I cut a 16"x16" square and stuffed it in there taking care not to block the rear facing port. Seems to have helped the internal reflections. I would definitely buy these again if I needed some cheapo bookshelf speakers. I am using a class D micro amp(2 Channel Stereo Audio Class D Amplifier Mini Hi-Fi Professional Digital Amp for Home Speakers 50W x 2 - V1.0G) with these speakers and a poppulse super pro DAC 707 through the spdif connection on the tv.

Nice sounding speakers. Great value!

These speakers are top notch for the price of under $100 a pair. Very pleased how they enhance the sound of my other pair of speakers. 4 speakers better than 2!!!!!! And they come with good quality wires (thick) to attach from speaker to receiver/amplifier.

I would rate these speakers 8/10, so 4 stars. They could look & sound better, tho still not too shabby. The brown wood version looks much better than the black. They are actually quite small got a 4 incher and and I'm using them aside my monitor, serving my my multimedia PC (games/movies/music) and running off a pretty good Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard. Pairing them with with a cheap but pretty decent China class D amp, and the whole setup can get very loud. Need to temper the volume to keep it getting out of control hah. I do not intend to get a subwoofer and my amp doesn't allow for it anyway so these two speakers will have to handle everything. Someone mentioned without the grills it would sound better. I took of the grilles and lo & behold, yes, LEAVE them off!! 1 star off for the fact the grills hobble the sound so bad they shouldn't have even designed them! Instead of a minimalist wooden frame, they use thick plastic in a criss-cross pattern that block/muffle tons of speaker sound! Soundwise: Highs - good, good. Mids - a bit recessed and undefined. Just gets worse from here. Lows - I guess mid to semi-low bass is where these speakers end as they won't go further (their spec is only 55hz). Bass is a bit humpy but present & decent. Still ok, really. Probably the reason why subs exist hah. The bass capability reminds me of my previous pair, the Audioengine A5, which though sounded better, were much more expensive and were 50w speakers. You'll need to tweak the EQ for more pronounced bass; leaving everything alone, you might feel the bass really leaves something to be desired. My last speakers I used a lot was a cheap SG branded SonicGear Titan5 2.1 system ($25) and the bass produced on the sub was really low and could be felt, though for the price, the sound quality overall was barely passable for gaming. With the Chinese amp I got, the price made it up to exactly S$100, which I think is value for money. I'm considering a Chinese preamp now (as u can see I'm totally on a budget) which will take the price to a high $150, which is probably where I'll stop at for this audio system. Finally, will just close one eye if it doesn't hold up as long without the speaker grilles on as they were only S$77! My last pair, the Audioengine A5s were S$550 and they had no speaker grilles whatsoever and the rubber on the woofers turned white after 5 years, either way! Even if this does change colour, it's ok as the price was very affordable! Long-term usage addendum: I'm keeping this as a 4 star review as I think the sound is worth more the price I paid. This is my first pair of passive speakers, btw and my foray into the world (or endless pit, depending on perspective) of audio separates. I have bought a lot of other speakers/equipment since then. But I digress. You have to compare price to performance and a S$77 speaker to others in its ballpark. Also, I tested it several times in my living room's Pioneer receiver and the speaker really shoned and wowed the pants off me. So it really is capable of a lot, provided with with decent/good amplification. So to finally sum up: if you have space and room in your life for another budget, bright & treble forward/detailed speaker with ok bass and mids AND you don't mind going grill-less then get this! Peace.
