Model Reviewed: BX448 300 watt power Handling

Strength:

Strudy construction, dropped one, still just fine. Positionable Tweeter, very compact, good sound, Comes with speaker wire, first speaker I've purchase that did surprising bass for the size.

Weakness:

A bit heavy for their size for wall mounting, would becareful about mount in drywall, though I'm sure it will be fine, it seems like it might be too much. Unclear Packaging, sure you put the speaker wire in the back and they work, but the installation hardware is kinda hard to understand. Even though the bass is good for the size, I would recomend coupling them with a sub.

The price is great. For the price you will pay you will have great speakers. Don't expect that lond throw bass cone to giv eyou any earth rumbling lows, but couple with a sub woofer they rock and sound great. Musical reproduction is excellent, very clean and distinct sound all around. They feel like they will last forever. I was weary to order because in pictures they looked plastic, but the shell seems to actually be made from high desity particle board with a coated that feels like a good truck bed lining. I had known Lanzar made decent car audio speakers so I hoped that would carry to their forray into home audio, so far so good. I Bought these in an oline auction that I Bought out before bidding started so i got one heck of a price. Though i'm only been using them for a few months I would have paid more, and would have expect to pay what I paid per speaker. Time is the true test though. If you want a good pair of front channel speaker without hitting your wallet too hard, try and find a pair of these, they do seem hard to find though. Sort of hitting on another point I did use these to replace some KLH speakers I had. I bought them at a time when I wwas living in Southern california, only 10 minutes from their factory so if anything went wrong I could bring them in. I had had to this once with my sub also from KLH which was from a series that had problems with its AMP, until they fixed it. Then I moved to Houston with the speakera and one of the woofers on the KLHs went out, when i went back to Los Angeles oe of the tweeters brought, i decided to leave them there with family and get new ones. These haven't disappointed yet, and seem of better quality in my Opinion. Always be wary of buying inexpensive/cheap speakers, these I'm pretty confident about.

Similar Products Used:

Various Bookshelf Speakers from KLH, Sherwood, Advent and JBL. All other speakers had lower wattage measurements. I was surprised to find this pair could handle 300 wats, haven't pushed it, but as loud as I've gone they hold their own very well, no distortion yet. I still use my Sherwoods as surround channels and they seem to be lasting quite some time (10 years old now), These were to replace the KLHs I had as front channels before, which broke for no aparent reason three months after purchase. So thus far these are wokring out great compared to speakers past, both good and bad.

Strength:

Sturdy, mounting hardware included, cheap if no one runs the bid up

Weakness:

Thin sound, narrow listening field

I've notice that people were bidding $26 or more each on UBid and I thought I'd write this review as a warning. Watch out for shipping costs!

I was looking for an inexpensive set of speakers for a new home theater system I was putting together. After looking at the specs for these speakers, I was sold on the 30-20k Hz range, 130W power rating, and the low-low price.

Actual performance was a completely different thing. I first tried them as main speakers and put some diffent types of signals through them. The sound seemed thin and harsh - like cheap car speakers from 10 years ago. The sound field seemed very narrow also. At a distance of about 8' apart, the audio sounded like it was coming out of two speakers instead of in between. I thought the speakers might be too far apart. I hooked up the PRO-LX55 and then the Sony that I was auditioning at that time and neither exhibited that problem.

I thought I'd try them as rear-surrounds since the rear signals might not be too demanding. The mid-range sounded OK, if not tinny. When the speakers were driven to highs and lows, however, they started to buzz and rattle even at medium volumes. I thought I'd hook them up and use both as a temporary center channel, but my wife told me to unhook them in the middle of watching a movie because they were intolerable.

I'm not exactly sure why the BX448 is included the in the car audio category since they are sold as "Bookshelf/Home Theater Speakers." To be fair, if people are buying these speakers to put in the car then the speakers might have the qualities to fit the acoustics of a car and the durability to survive the bumps on the road.
