When are speaker too big?
That’s a hell of an upgrade straight from tv speakers. There’s nothing wrong with the triangles, they’re just doing what they were made to do. You’re just not used to hearing it. There’s a couple things you can do; Keep listening to them until your ears become used to the sound, Exchange them for so

quais caixas de som por nesse amplificador?
Buenas. Fiz uma pesquisa rápida e achei duas caixas interessantes: Sony SS CS5(R$2263)** e Klipsch R40m(R$1581). Ambas são pequenas mas adequadas para as especificações do Amp. Vi bastante comentários favoráveis sony. Veja esse review: https://youtu.be/NROA90CXyV8?si=ff-aJ_kCRvaElxlp De qualquer man

First setup
Audio is NOT a cheap hobby, never has been, but you won't get much for a total of $300 so piece it out. You will also need an amplifier and speakers for a turntable. For an amp, I'd suggest a Fosi Audio ZA3 ($119 @ Amazon) -OR- an Aiyima A07 MAX 2 ($66 Black Friday sale: I've got one of these in my

The Fosi Z stack is a thing of beauty!
Oh I’ve looked into some kefs but I’m on the Sony sscs5. I got the sscs5 M2 for around $150 on Black Friday. Considering they’re going for around $280 now, Im super happy with the performance. I can turn them up and up and not get fatigued. I am curious about the ls 50s tho but more realistically, I

CD Collectors of Reddit: What CD Player do You Use?
Cambridge Audio AXC35 I have it connected to a Fosi BT20A amp powering a pair of Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers. Good enough for me.

Buying a bookshelf-stereo system
The speakers that come with those kinds of mini-hifi systems are probably always going to be crappy. There’s simply not enough budget to get great components. For somewhat cheap but decent stand-alone passive speakers, look into e.g. these. Maybe you can find some second hand: Polk Audio Monitor XT2

Just depends on what type

65in OLED
Yeah, the speakers in those little soundbars are so small I don't see how it could have any acceptable bass. For not much more money, a good pair of powered speakers would sound soooo much better. Personally, I use the Sony SS-CS5 bookshelf speakers with the matching center channel, and an Onkyo TX-

2.1 Speaker recommendation for bass music?
Don’t think you can get speakers and a sub for that amount. But, I’ve always loved every Polk speaker that I’ve ever owned. The ES-20 will come in slightly above your budget, but sound great and deliver the best bass that bookshelves alone can in that price range. Definitely worth a look. If you wan
