Would not be in my top 5 choices by any means but they do OK for the money. Perhaps ask Rod about some other brands?? Or even these: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=11690 Re: Accusound 3Mar 03, 2009 9:51 am I agree.
Accusound I would put in the same category as the likes of Welling, DTX, and quite a few other brands of speakers available here in Aus (and sometimes even made here) that are OEM'd generic speakers using standard cabinets and cheap off-the-shelf drivers to keep the costs down (and therefore the retail price too) - often reverse engineered versions of someone else's generic design. They make a decent enough noise that to inexperienced speaker buyers sounds fine, and are probably worth what is paid for them. Just know that there are good reasons why the genuine quality speakers are more expensive... Re: Accusound 4Mar 04, 2009 2:56 am I bought a set of Accusound from Harvey Norman - and I agree with Rodda. At the time they were fine for my ears (and budget!) but now after having them for about 4 years I'm really looking forward to getting a set of Paradigms when we move back to Oz
I should point out though that I haven't had any problems with the quality, and driving them hard (loud) with my Kenwood receiver I bought at the same time doesn't produce any noticeable distortion. I'm just looking for a clearer/better sound (the Accusounds can sound a bit muddy at times). After 2 false starts, a year living overseas, two more world trips and 3 years of uncertainty we are now starting the build process again - hopefully for real this time! |
