Pyle Home 3" Mini Cube Bookshelf Speakers - 100W Small Bookshelf Speakers w/ 3" Paper Cone Driver, 8 Ohm - Passive Audio Bookshelf Speaker Pair For Home Theater Stereo Surround Sound (Black)

I have owned these speakers for the past 6 months. I must admit I was a little hesitant to purchase. I bought them with the mind set if they don't do the job I am only out of $25.00. I connected these speakers to my Home Theater system and played a few action movies to test the audio range. They handled mids and highs flawlessly, they do not have much for bass, I connected them to 10 inch Powered Paridigm sub, They produced clear and detailed voice and smooth timber match across the sound stage. I would recommend these speakers to anyone who want good sound with out the heavy price tag. Now the one issue I have with these speakers is the cheap plastic case, they crack easily. so be careful not to drop or jar or they may crack. I know cause I did this I wrapped them with some duck tape and was back in business. Good sound power case. I bought them for the small size, so even though I should deduct for the cheap plastic, I won't because they sound so good for the money.

These are nice little speakers. I have them hooked as the Center and Rear channels on my Denon AVR-E200 165w x channel 5.1 Surround system (each pack of these has two speakers). They provide excellent sound and are great for watching 5.1 movies. They do not provide much bass, but I have some larger speakers for my Front Left and Right that provides the bass. These are really high quality and well made. They are like one piece of plastic (thick high quality) with a nice metal cover. They are small and sit nicely by the TV stand (so small you do not even notice it) and have the nice push in clips that are easy to use (strip the tip of the speaker wire and split it for the Black and Red). --These do not come with speaker wire, which is normal for most speakers, you can buy a large roll of it for near nothing, so remember that when you order these, and buy accordingly if you do not have any spare speaker wire).In the end these are nice speakers that provide excellent clear sound with great support for the surround and center speakers of my setup. Highly recommend!!

The bad: they're a bit hard to drive, I have them sourced from pre-amp out from a Marantz slim receiver (the output voltage is a bit low in these, maybe 2 volts) into an Aiyima A07 Max class d amp with the supplied 36v 6a power supply, which powers the Pyles. It's basically a pieced-together quadraphonic system, and I have the Pyles in the room's corner facing upward. (The Marantz doesn't run four channels very well.) That said, even with the low input voltage into the Aiyima, it should still be pushing 50ish+ watts.Their lack of low end makes the sweet spot of their response right in the range of the human voice, which definitely helps me hear dialog in movies. It's an affordable trick that makes the sound more atmospheric, and the speakers' small size makes them unobtrusive.For this specific use case, I like them. I wish they were a bit more efficient, but I imagine a more powerful surround receiver could get more out of them than a class d amp. Or . . . my setup with a preamp out that's more like 4 or 5 volts would probably solve the issue with driving them. These things are not standardized as much as you might think.

These speakers are odd to say the least. Out of the box they looked fine, sound was as expected from a 3 inch speaker. BUT after I turned them up a bit I'll start to hear a small chuffing sound coming from the back. These speakers are supposedly sealed tight but after a closer inspection the solder joints of the speaker terminals on the back were not sealed with a gasket but rather just plastic on plastic sealed. Took the speaker out of the speaker housing and dripped hot glue down over the terminals to seal them. The spring loaded clip on the back also leaks air so I ended up just removing that entirely and hot glueing it in as it wasnt needed for my purposes anyway. On one of the two speakers the dust cap was partially removed and was rattling when playing but I put some super glue around it and it sealed up. Now to the sound quality after sealing it up correctly - Sounds pretty good all things considered. They can get surprisingly loud with no distortion and have great imaging across the board. If tuned right they can push a small and I mean SMALL amount of low-end. They will throw a little more low-end then you'd expect from a sealed 3 inch but again don't expect immersive bass. I don't know if i'd suggest these for audiophiles but then again I think if you pair them with something more bass heavy that these will help bring more clarity out. I have these paired with the Micca RB42'S and I hate to admit it but combined they sound really good, especially on a desk. Still gave these 5 stars just because they are cheaper but with a little glue and time they sound pretty good for (what I paid at the time) $16.
