Bookshelf Speakers

ARE Audio Light Roast Speakers

Conclusions

A simple, yet stunning compact bookshelf speaker that sounds larger than it looks. There was enough bass when mounted on my desk that I needed no subwoofer for music playback. These speakers deliver clean and clear sound, and are on the forward side of the fence. They sound their best when mated with a warmer amplifier. I found them out of there element in a large room that required moving away from boundaries as they benefit in the bass department from some reinforcement. When mounted near field on my desk without a subwoofer, the bass was more than adequate. Not my first choice for high-spl rock and metal, as they do not cover up recording flaws at all and can get fatiguing with ugly albums, they were delightfully revealing with more refined music.
