Very impressive bass response for their relatively small size. I use them as a PC speakers and they do a very fine job. My tip is to use Global equalizer with your OS and give a gentle boost to lower frequencies, and these speakers will sound amazing. It is difficult to understand where all that bass comes from!

This speakers are excellent considering the size. Very happy with them. Partnered with a beosound 4000, the speakers sit on my desk in office. If I got down the hifi component route, I would have to spend just as much money, not to mention the space taken up by all the equipments that would make my office a messy. Well you might get better sound for a lower price, but you'll need to spend a lot of time to make a match like that and not to mention the time and space taken up. If time ans space is luxury to you i would wholeheartedly recommend this system. This is huge upgrade over the beosound 2500 which i used before.

Strength:
Design, near-perfect treble, realistic sound quality, great musical ability, very powerful, price.
Weakness:
May need the addition of a subwoofer in a dolby surround setup. These are the most impressive speakers you may come across for the price and size.
Customer Service Customer service and after sales service from B&o is as good as it gets. Similar Products Used: Bang & Olufsen |

A beautiful package! The BeoSound 4000 has an AM/FM tuner, cassette, and CD player. Very cool glass doors which open with a sweep of the hand. I love this unit! It can be wall-mounted or placed on a stand or table. Wonderful remote control operation. Like all B&O equipment, there is nothing else like it! Considering what you get for the $, it's a bargain. |

Strength:
Amazing combination of design and technique. Extremely powerful despite its size.
Weakness:
Trebble a little big lacking in energy The Bang&Olufsen brand invokes in people a lot of different opinions. What is often heard in the reviews on this web site is that the products do not offer enough value for money - that too much money is spent on design. Some of these statements are made out of ignorance and lack of cmpany information. Did you know that Bang&Olufsen has one of the best rooms available for measuring speakers called the Cube (used by i.e. KEF)? That a specific listening panel has been chosen to review old as well as new products in comparison with those of other brands? That Bang&Olufsen was the first to develop a pickup that could reproduce a stereo signal? That the dual, inbuilt amplifier technique used today is very complex and costly? That the company pursues a neutral sound philosophy whcih might be the reason why your Japanese products with their emphasis on bass and trebble sound more lively, however false? |

Strength:
FALT RESPONSE, EXCELLENT BASS RESPONSE FOR SUCH A SMALL SPEAKER
Weakness:
NONE WENT TO LISTEN TO A SMALL PAIR OF B&W ABD HALES SPEAKERS, THEY WERE APPROX. $1800 A PAIR PLUS AN AMP FOR A GRAND OR TWO. SOUNDED VERY GOOD, LISTENED TO A PAIR OF 4000'S, THEY HAVE TWO AMPS BUILT INTO EACH OF THEM. I WENT BACK AND FORTH LISTENING TO EACH PAIR THE WHOLE TIME THINKING ("I NEED SEPERATES THAT'S WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO") AND (GOOD LOOKING SPEAKERS CAN'T SOUND GOOD") IT'S ALL CRAP THE BANG & OLUFSEN SPEAKERS SOUNDED BETTER, QUITE A BIT BETTER. I PURCHASED THEM AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY EVER SINCE. I DECIDED TO LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT B&O, ONE OF THE OLDEST AUDIO COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRST WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL, THE FIRST STEREO PICKUP, FIRST SYSTEM WITH PRESET RADIO STATIONS AND THE FIRST RADIO TO USE ELECTRICITY INSTEAD OF BATTERIES BACK IN 1926,ONE TOUCH TO MUSIC, MULTI ROOM ALMOST TWENTY YEARS AGO, NOT BAD FOR A COMPANY "JUST BASED ON DESIGN" GO EDUCATE YOURSELVES BEFORE BEING SO JUDGEMENTAL!

You might ask yourself are these worth it? I do! We (the family) listen to a wide range of music. No matter what music is played, these speakers can handle it. We use them to play backgroud music or music at birthday parties, where they achieve an impressive sound pressure levels. |

Strength:
Beautifully balanced reproduction, high quality build, excellent customer support
Weakness:
No technical weaknesses, floor stand would be nice, prejudices of general public and HiFi press I spent a lot of time trying to determine which story was correct, either "very poor value for money" or "incredible performance in a beautiful package". During this process I met a percussionist from the Berlin Philharmonic on an airplane. He told me a story of how he spent months choosing his new $4000 CD player only to realise once he jot it home that he actually preferred the sound from his Sanyo DVD player. The morale of the story is twofold, firstly, you listen to it so buy what you like and try not to be influenced by other people’s opinions and, secondly, you have to live with it so buy something you like to look at too.
