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

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.

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

Favorite EQ settings?
speakers are critical part of the equation setting math. i have Sony sscs5 that are notoriously bright so adjusted to harmon eq using pe settings recommended by spinorama.

Which speakers made you enjoy your music the most?
I really like the horn tweeters on Klipsch speakers. If you’re on a budget you can’t go wrong with the Sony SSCS5

Parlantes PC y para TV. Que suenen bien y con buen grave (máx $150.000 CLP).
Si el espacio no es un problema, para la tele un par de parlantes buenos de segunda mano y un amplificador, ya sea un receiver antiguo, o un amplificador chino (hay muchos, BBB). Parlantes busca de segunda mano, que no sean muy antiguos (onda de los 90's, a menos que sepas lo que estás comprando). B
