1 Presonus E4.5-4.5″ Monitor da studio Near Field a 2 vie

Caratteristiche e specifiche

La nostra prima scelta sono queste coppie di altoparlanti attivi di Presonus. Hanno una potenza totale di 50 watt e possono emettere un rispettabile 100dB di rumore quando le cose sono fino a 11. La risposta in frequenza è compresa tra 70Hz e 20.000Hz.

Gli altoparlanti sono di dimensioni tipiche da scaffale, misurano 16,5" x 9,1" x 11,8" e pesano poco più di 13 libbre. All'interno dei cabinet c'è un woofer in Kevlar da 4,5" di buona qualità e un tweeter a cupola in seta da 1" a massa ridotta.

La buona notizia è che Presonus ha avuto il buon senso di mettere gli ingressi e i controlli più comunemente usati sulla parte anteriore dell'altoparlante attivo. L'interruttore di accensione/spegnimento, il volume, gli ingressi ausiliari e per le cuffie sono posizionati ordinatamente sul pannello frontale. Grazie, ragazzi.

Tutti i controlli, gli ingressi e le uscite meno utilizzati sono sul retro. Questi includono; Connessioni RCA, connessione TRS, uscita all'altoparlante destro e controlli di sintonizzazione acustica.

Finora sembra tutto a posto.

Qualità costruttiva e audio

Questi sono altoparlanti ben messi insieme da Presonus. Ci piace il loro design elegante e semplice e la mancanza di griglie degli altoparlanti. Hanno un aspetto minimalista e senza fronzoli. Considerando il loro prezzo, offrono un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo sia per la qualità della loro costruzione che per il loro suono.

Poiché si tratta principalmente di monitor da studio, non sorprende che abbiano una risposta prevalentemente piatta e non colorata. Tuttavia, il basso ha un sacco di tonfo per un piccolo woofer; in effetti, semmai, è forse solo leggermente troppo forte. Il tweeter produce dei buoni acuti nitidi e il palcoscenico sonoro ha una buona gamma e profondità.

I controlli EQ sul retro dell'altoparlante attivo sono utili per aggiungere un po' di colore al tono, poiché se ascolti il ​​vinile, potresti volere un suono più scolpito rispetto a un tecnico del suono.

Considerando il loro prezzo, il Presonus E4.5 offre alcuni suoni fluidi e precisi che li rendono ideali per l'uso da vicino o per l'uso in stanze più piccole.

Pro

• Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
• Suono neutro.
• Buona scena sonora.
• Look elegante.
• Controlli ben strutturati.

Contro

• I cavi inclusi sono economici.
• Adatto solo per stanze piccole.

2 Altoparlante Bluetooth portatile impermeabile JBL Charge 4

Caratteristiche e specifiche

Senza dubbio, il JBL è il miglior altoparlante impermeabile Bluetooth della nostra lista. Questo altoparlante Bluetooth portatile e compatto JBL Charge 4 impermeabile pesa solo 2,0 libbre e misura 4,9" x 5,9" x 10,8". Ha una classificazione IPX 7, il che significa che potrebbe anche sopravvivere a un breve tuffo in piscina e continuare a lavorare. Notevole!

C'è un driver di forma ovale per fornire il suono. Ha una risposta in frequenza compresa tra 60Hz e 20,00Hz. L'unità funzionerà con alimentazione di rete e batteria, il che è utile. Puoi aspettarti circa 20 ore di utilizzo dalle batterie. Inoltre, c'è anche un pratico indicatore LED che ti aiuta a tenere traccia della durata della batteria.

Le connessioni includono; USB, Bluetooth e un ingresso ausiliario. Ha anche la tanto decantata caratteristica di potersi collegare a più di 100 altoparlanti JBL connect +. È una funzionalità interessante, ma non pensiamo sarà molto utile.

Qualità costruttiva e audio

Con una valutazione IPX 7, non possiamo sostenere che questa cosa sia dura e resisterà a seri abusi all'aperto. Inoltre, non possiamo discutere con un bel design e un'incredibile gamma di 11 colori eccitanti. Sembra decisamente più una dichiarazione di moda che un oratore.

E il suono?

Il fatto è che il JBL Charge 4 non può produrre volumi particolarmente alti, ed è anche un po' leggero sui bassi. Confinato dalle dimensioni del suo driver, fatica a scendere in basso. Sebbene suoni ragionevolmente incisivo a volumi più bassi, una volta che le cose sono aumentate, le cose vengono distorte e la definizione si perde.

A volumi medio-bassi, il suono generale è buono. È ben bilanciato con alti e medi chiari.

In sostanza, questo è un altoparlante esterno e non ha davvero un posto all'interno come un modo serio per ascoltare il tuo vinile. Se hai una piccola festa e vuoi portare il tuo vinile o il tuo Djing fuori, allora questo si adatta bene.

Pro

• Classificazione IPX 7.
• Altamente portatile.
• Connettività Bluetooth.
• Connettività USB.

Contro

• Basso volume.
• Luce sui bassi.

3 Altoparlanti da scaffale alimentati Bluetooth Edifier R2000DB

Caratteristiche e specifiche

Successivamente, nelle nostre recensioni dei migliori altoparlanti per vinile, abbiamo gli altoparlanti da scaffale Bluetooth alimentati Edifier R2000DB, che misurano 11 "x 8" x 13,5" e pesano 18 libbre. Hanno un rispettabile 120 watt di uscita RMS. Il tutto viene fornito con un driver da 5,0" e un tweeter a cupola in seta da 1" per ciascun altoparlante.

Hanno connettività Bluetooth in modo da poter collegare in modalità wireless il tuo dispositivo elettronico. In alternativa, se vuoi andare alla vecchia scuola, ci sono un paio di ingressi ausiliari. Altre connessioni includono un ingresso per cuffie, un ingresso ottico per TV, DVD o console di gioco, porte RCA e XLR.

Tutti gli ingressi e le uscite si trovano sul retro dell'altoparlante attivo insieme ai controlli per volume, bassi e alti. Poiché c'è un telecomando, possiamo perdonarli per non avere il controllo del volume sulla parte anteriore dell'altoparlante. Sarebbe stato comunque bello avere l'ingresso per le cuffie nella parte anteriore, però.

Qualità costruttiva e audio

Questi sono altoparlanti ben fatti, realizzati in Cina, e sono disponibili in una scelta di finitura nera lucida o impiallacciata in legno. Gli armadi sono costruiti in MDF, il che è molto normale a questo prezzo. Sono dotati di griglie anteriori ben progettate e che non interferiscono con il flusso del suono.

Gli altoparlanti sono ragionevolmente rumorosi con i loro 120 watt di uscita RMS in grado di riempire facilmente una stanza di piccole o medie dimensioni. Aiutati dalle porte bass reflex posteriori, i bassi sono ragionevolmente stretti, arrivano in basso in modo piacevole e basso e mostrano poca distorsione anche a volumi più alti.

I medi sono anche con poca colorazione e la voce e gli strumenti sono chiaramente definiti. Inoltre, il tweeter Eagle Eye da 1" offre acuti precisi, nitidi e puliti. Nel complesso, non c'è dubbio che questi diffusori Edifier producano un suono davvero di alta qualità.

Pro

• Buona connettività.
• Bassi livelli di distorsione.
• Buoni bassi.
• Alto volume.
• Buona qualità del suono.
• Dispone di telecomando.

Contro

• Sono costosi.
• Il telecomando è minuscolo.

4 JBL Arena B15 nero da scaffale e altoparlante surround

Caratteristiche e specifiche

Se vuoi portare la festa all'interno, abbandona gli altoparlanti JBL Charge 4 e passa a questi.

I diffusori JBL Arena B15 Black Bookshelf misurano 8,58" x 18,5" x 16,5" e pesano 17,42 libbre. Ogni altoparlante ha un woofer in policellulosa da 5,5" e un tweeter a cupola morbida da 1". Sono in grado di erogare un totale di 125 watt di potenza di picco e hanno una gamma di frequenza compresa tra 100 Hz e 40.000 Hz.

Si tratta di altoparlanti puramente passivi, quindi a parte i due montanti da collegare al ricevitore, e non ci sono altri ingressi o controlli.

Qualità costruttiva e audio

Questi diffusori JBL hanno un aspetto un po' industriale. Sono un po' troppo austeri, secondo noi, e riteniamo che traggano effettivamente vantaggio dall'avere le griglie anteriori attaccate. Anche allora, non sono niente di eccitante da guardare. Solo una noiosa scatola nera, quindi niente punti per l'originalità qui.

Possono sembrare noiosi, ma la cosa interessante è che sono dotati di slot di montaggio a parete integrati nella parte posteriore. Quindi, se sei a corto di spazio, questi potrebbero essere proprio quello che stai cercando. Sono inoltre dotati di una garanzia del produttore di cinque anni e questo ci piace ancora di più.

Questi sono abbastanza rumorosi per una stanza di piccole e medie dimensioni. Sebbene non ci siano problemi con il volume, riteniamo che i bassi siano un po' carenti. Ciò è probabilmente dovuto al fatto che sono un altoparlante sigillato poco profondo senza porta bass reflex. La frequenza minima di 100 Hz è troppo alta. Di conseguenza, questi altoparlanti trarrebbero probabilmente vantaggio dall'essere collegati a un subwoofer.

E che dire dei medi e degli alti?

Bene, la buona notizia è che non ci sono problemi né con i medi né con le frequenze più alte. Entrambi sono puliti e precisi. Gli acuti sono luminosi e dal suono naturale. La voce nella parte medio-bassa si è distinta per essere ben definita.

Pro

• Un buon rapporto qualità-prezzo.
• Five year manufacturer’s warranty.
• Slimline construction.
• They have an integrated wall mount.

Contro

• Lacks bass at the lower end.

5 Edifier S1000DB Audiophile Active Bookshelf Speakers

Features and Specifications

You’ve possibly already taken a look at the Edifier R2000Db, and now you’ve seen the Edifier S1000DB. Checking the price, you can see that the S1000DB is significantly more expensive. So, the question, quite naturally, is, are they worth it?

Let’s find out…

On the face of it, they look similar. They measure and weigh the same. That is 11” x 8” x 13.5” and 18lbs. Also, they have the same 120 watts of RMS output.

But then things start to differ…

The Edifier 1000DB has a 5.5” woofer and a 1” titanium dome tweeter. What’s more, though it has Bluetooth, the Edifier S1000Db has the latest 4.0 aptX connectivity. This significantly improves both streaming quality and latency issues.

As far as all other connections and inputs are concerned, they are the same as the R2000DB. There are RCA and XLR ports, an optical input for DVD, TV or game consoles, and also a headphone input. There are also control knobs for bass, treble, and volume.

All of the controls and inputs are found on the rear fo the active speaker.

Build and Sound Quality

It’s clear that these are better made than the cheaper models in the Edifier range. The S1000DB speakers are predominantly made out of real wood and have solid birch side panels. They look beautiful.  They also come with front grills, but these are again of better quality and, in fact, a better design than the less expensive models.

Overall there’s a greater attention to detail in their finish, and they feel very much like a grown-up speaker. Even the remote control is far better than on other less expensive models.

We can see where some of that extra money went.

So what about the sound?

Well, there’s no more power than the R1000DB, though there’s obviously still enough to fill a small to medium-sized room. And you also get  Dynamic Range Control and Digital Signal Processing to minimize distortion.

But you actually get more than this. These speakers have a larger 5.5” woofer, which allows them to reach down deep. This is backed up by their low-frequency specification of 48Hz. There’s also plenty of punch and clarity to the bass. The mids were smooth and clean with well-defined vocals.

There’s also high levels of clarity in the trebles courtesy of the upgraded 1” titanium tweeter.

Whilst we stand by the statement that the Edifier R2000DB speakers produce a high level of audio quality, we have to say that the Edifier S1000DB speakers sound even better. There’s no doubt that these speakers make a strong case for their additional cost.

Pro

• Buona connettività.
• Latest Bluetooth 4.0 aptX
• Low levels of distortion.
• Deep, punchy bass.
• Ottima qualità del suono.
• It has a good-quality remote control.

Contro

• They are expensive.

6 Sony SSCS5 3-Way 3-Driver Bookshelf Speaker System

Features and Specifications

Our next contender for the Best Speakers For Vinyl are these Sony SSCS5 3-Way speakers, which measure 17.9” x 10.7” x 16.2” and weigh 10lb each. They have three drivers, which is unusual at this price. There is a 5.25” woofer, a 1” polyester main tweeter, and a .75” super tweeter.

The three drivers put out a maximum power output of 100watts and 30 watts of RMS power. They have a frequency response between 53Hz to 50,000Hz, have an impedance rating of 6 ohms, and a sensitivity rating of 87dB.

These are passive speakers; therefore, other than the mounting posts, there are no other connections. And you will obviously need to use a receiver to work with these speakers.

Build and Sound Quality

These are at the more affordable end of the range of speakers we’ve reviewed. In terms of their build and design quality, this is also clear to see. They’re unimaginative black vinyl MDF boxes with little quality to them. Pretty much what we’d expect for the price.

Maybe the sound will be better?

Let’s see.

The Sony SSCS5 3-Way speakers aren’t particularly loud and struggle to give precise sound at higher volumes. However, at lower volumes, they are perfectly fine. This is also the case for the bass. The fact is they can reach down surprisingly low with little distortion at lower and medium volumes. However, at higher volumes, things are not so clear, and booming can be heard.

Now to address the elephant, or rather mouse, in the room first. Sony, listen to us, there’s too much emphasis on the higher end. Squeak, squeak, squeak! It’s no real surprise as it seems to be a common trait of a lot of Japanese speakers.

But why?

We’ve genuinely no idea.

The good news is that despite the emphasis on the higher frequencies, with a bit of fiddling to the EQ settings, it is possible to tame down the trebles and dial in a decent well-balanced sound.

Considering their price, the overall sound quality was surprisingly good.

Pro

• Economico.
• Grills included.
• Low bass.

Contro

• Dominance of trebles.
• Uninspiring cabinet design.

7 Polk Audio T15 100 Watt Home Theater Bookshelf Speakers

Features and Specifications

Polk is a US-based company with 50 years of experience in the electronics business. They have a solid reputation for manufacturing great sounding and affordable speakers. We, therefore, have high hopes with there small and affordable T15.

Let’s look at the specs first…

The T15 measures a compact 7.3” x 6.5” x 10.7” and weighs a modest 8.25lbs. They can produce  100 watts of peak power from the 5.25” woofer and .75” tweeter. They have a front-firing bass reflex port, which is all designed and engineered using Polk’s own Dynamic Balance technology.

They have a frequency range of between 65Hz to 20,000Hz, have an impedance of 8 ohms and a sensitivity rating of 89dBs. These are passive speakers, so you’re going to need to pull that spare receiver from the back of your cupboard.

Build and Sound Quality

For this price, you’re not going to expect anything other than MDF, which is just as well, because that’s exactly what you get. We think you’ll agree, though, that the furniture quality MDF they use is a cut above what you’ll normally find on most speaker cabinets at this price.

The cabinets look well-finished and are really nicely complemented by the design and layout of the two drivers and the bass port on the front of the speaker. They do have speaker grills included, but we think they look great without them.

Full marks to Polk for making an inexpensive speaker look beautiful and interesting. Other speaker manufacturers kindly take note.

Louder than you may think…

For a small speaker, they have more volume than we’d anticipated. They’re certainly fine for a small sized-room and would probably be fine for somewhere bigger.

The bass reaches down nice and low with little distortion until the volume gets close to 11. The tweeter is precise and produces some bright trebles without becoming harsh or shrill. The mids were also nicely defined.

Overall, considering the price, the Polk T15 speakers are capable of producing some high quality and well-balanced sound. These are definitely the best value speakers we’ve looked at.

Pro

• Economico.
• Buona qualità costruttiva.
• Ottimo design.
• Great sound.

Contro

• None at this price.

8 Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones Home Audio Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Set of 2)

Features and Specifications

These Pioneer speakers were designed by the legendary speaker designer, Mr. Andrew Jones. For those of you who don’t know, his prowess is such that he could make a great set of speakers out of a bread bin, tea towel, and used parts from an old toaster.

We’ve therefore got high hopes for the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR.

Let’s take a look at those specs first…

The Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Bookshelf Speakers measure a fairly compact 12 9/16″ x 7 1/8″ x 8 7/16″ and weigh just 9lbs 2ozs. The peak power is 80 watts per speaker, and they have a frequency response between 55Hz-20,000Hz.

The subwoofer is relatively small, measuring only 4”, and is paired with a 1” soft dome tweeter. The nominal impedance is 6 ohms, and they have a crossover frequency of 3,000Hz.

Since these are passive speakers, other than the mounting posts, there’s nothing else in the way of connections.

On the face of it, nothing extraordinary here, so let’s dig a little deeper.

Build and Sound Quality

These are positioned as a budget-priced bookshelf-speakers, and the quality is very typical of what you’d expect to find at this price.  It’s MDF and black wood-stained finish all round. And unfortunately, there’s nothing interesting or aesthetically appealing in their design.

The grills, unbelievably, make matters worse. How is that even possible? Well, not only are they even uglier than the boring boxes, sorry, we mean cabinets, but they also impede audio quality. This is because the thick plastic used in the frame acts as a physical barrier to the soundwaves from the tweeter.

Best to leave the grills off and preferably just throw them away.

So far, this isn’t the start we’d hoped for, so let’s quickly move onto the sound.

OK, folks, there’s thankfully some good news here. The truth is, the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Bookshelf Speakers are a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They look as exciting as a geography teacher’s tweed jacket but yet sing oh so sweetly.

So how do they do it?

There are a few things these speakers do to achieve such a great sound.  Firstly, the speakers use a complex and outstanding 6 component crossover for the trebles, mids, and bass. It sounds super-smooth and is not something you’d typically expect to find in speakers at this kind of price. This all helps to create a helps to create well-balanced and accurate audio across at all frequencies.

Additionally, although the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR only has a 4” bass driver, it still is able to reach down to the lower bass notes. The lowest limit is officially stated as 55Hz. It may not be as punchy as speakers with larger drivers, but it’s impressive never the less.

These are great sounding speakers for the price.

Pro

• They have an excellent complex crossover system.
•  Good audio quality and clarity at all volumes.
• Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Contro

• The grills are useless.
• Unimaginative and boring cabinets.

9 Micca MB42 Bookshelf Speakers

Features and Specifications

The Micca PB42 are passive bookshelf speakers and should not be confused with the Micca PB42X, which are the active equivalent. Regardless they still measure the same 6.5” x 5.8” x 9.5”, though the Micca PB42s and weigh a featherweight 3lbs.

This makes the Micca MB42 both the smallest and the lightest speakers we’ve reviewed

The RMS is rated at 15 watts per speaker with a total peak power of 75 watts. This is all courtesy of a 4” carbon fiber woofer, and a 3/4” silk-dome tweeter, both mounted on a surround. They have a  frequency response between 60Hz-20,000Hz with a sensitivity rating of 85dBs. Their impedance is rated between 4-8 ohms.

Sound and Build Quality

Considering their price point, we have absolutely no moans or niggles about their construction or use of materials. As you’d expect, they’re constructed from MDF and subsequently stained. They have detachable grills that look perfectly fine.

The truth is that the Micca PB42 speakers are small, and they undoubtedly look a little plain. However, despite their small and plain looks, they manage to deliver performance far beyond their size and cost.

The carbon fiber woofer helps to create a good lower range and bass response. This is further enhanced by a well-designed bass reflex port that neatly extends bass notes in the lower range and also helps to keep distortion down to a minimum.

Higher ranges are accurate, clear, and smooth…

What’s more, the crossover design also plays an important part in giving the speakers an open, dynamic, and balanced sound signature.

All in all, although the Micca PB42 speakers don’t have much in the way of volume, they do produce audio quality that is way higher than might be expected from such a tiny and inexpensive package.

Pro

• Excellent crossover between frequencies.
• Smooth and clear trebles.
• Conveniente.
• Small size.

Contro

• Low volume.

10 Audioengine A2 Plus 60W Powered Desktop Speakers

Features and Specifications

And finally, on our search for the Best Speakers For Vinyl, we have these active pair of speakers from Audioengine. They measure 4” x 5.25” x 6” and weigh only 6.61lbs each. They have a total peak power of 60 watts, and the frequency range is between 65Hz to 22,000Hz.

The connections as well as the controls are on the rear of the speakers. They have an auxiliary input, headphones input, RCA inputs and outputs, dual analog audio inputs, and USB. Additionally, they have a control knob for the volume.

Interestingly what they don’t have is either Bluetooth connectivity or any form of EQ control. Given that these are not inexpensive speakers, we really feel they should have both. We would also have liked to see the headphone input on the front of the speaker and a remote control.

Still, you can’t have everything, let’s hope things are better with the build and sound.

Build and Sound Quality

The good news is that things are indeed a lot better here.

These are a beautifully well-made and stylish set of speakers. They’ll pass the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) test all day long. These are hand finished wood cabinets that have some high-quality materials under their skin.

A cut above the quality of most speakers at this price, they also come in a choice of three colors.

That should keep the wife happy!

The kevlar woofer, despite its small size, can deliver deep and tight bass. However, for anyone wanting to listen to predominantly bass-driven music, they are likely to be found somewhat wanting. There is, of course, the option of connecting an Audioline subwoofer.

The mids and trebles are crisp and clear, with excellent levels of refinement. There’s no doubt that overall these deliver superb well-balanced audio quality. However, they’re not the loudest of speakers and so are really more suited to near field listening or for use in a small room.

Pro

• Excellent sound quality.
• Well balanced.
• Well made and stylish cabinets.

Contro

• Costoso.
• No Bluetooth.
• Bass a little thin.

Best Speakers For Vinyl Buyers Guide

The best speakers for vinyl we’ve reviewed are likely to cover the needs of all but the most serious audiophiles. So, once you’ve set your budget, you’re going to need to decide if you want to have active or passive speakers, plus what level of connectivity and power you’re likely to need.

Let’s look at the decision of passive against active speakers first.

Passive or Active?

This decision could very well come down to considerations of cost and convenience.  Generally speaking, if you want a cheaper system, then a pair of active speakers is more likely to be a budget-friendly option. Active speakers also take up less space and take away the need for any more decision making. Basically, there’s having to decide what speakers to pair with what receiver.

If you choose to buy active speakers, the best pairing option of speakers to the receiver has already been taken for you. What’s more, since this match will have been carefully designed to work in tandem, it’s rarely a bad choice.

On the other hand, if you already have a receiver or possibly have a specific sound in mind, passive speakers are much more flexible in creating your own sound. Additionally, as your budget increases, and so you look at increasing levels of sophistication in your audio equipment, the audio quality invariably becomes higher than you’re likely to achieve with an active set-up at a similar price.

Connettività

With the resurgence of vinyl, there are a lot of turntables that have Bluetooth capability. If you’ve recently bought one of these newer era turntables, then it’s going to follow that the best vinyl speakers for listening in this instance would have to have Bluetooth connectivity.

And let’s face it, Bluetooth connectivity is always useful since it can then be used with multiple electronic devices, rather than solely for use with vinyl.

In an event, any active speakers you buy are likely to have both RCA and standard speaker connections, which are both easy to set-up.

Power

We’ve really only covered the needs of vinyl fans who are listening in small to medium-sized rooms. If you have a larger room, you absolutely need to get more powerful speakers than we’ve listed here.

Virtually all of the speakers we’ve reviewed have big brothers and sisters you can check out. All fully capable of shaking the room, emptying your pockets, and making your ears fall off. If you’re most concerned with near-field listening in a small room, we can’t think of a better pair of speakers than the Audioengine A2 speakers.

The most powerful speakers we’ve reviewed, and capable of comfortably filling a medium-sized room, would be the JBL Arena B15 Black Bookshelf &Surround Speaker.

So Many Speaker Options

So, what are the Best Speakers For Vinyl?

So, there you have it.

We think you’ll all agree that there’s something genuinely magical and special about vinyl. We’re so happy to see it live on, and long may it continue.

Before we go, we want to leave you with our top pick across all budgets and sizes of speakers. The speaker we feel offers the best overall quality was the…

Polk Audio T15

This is an inexpensive speaker that was beautifully designed, was well made, had plenty of volume and great audio quality. In fact, it was so good, at the price, we couldn’t really find fault.

Enjoy your vinyl, and Happy listening!
