I bought these to replace some good but problematic Edifier speakers (bluetooth issues)
These speakers are a bit more reserved even at the same volume, but produce overall a more balanced sound and create less bleed into other rooms compared to my old ones. I'd describe the feel as more acoustic and intimate compared with other speakers I've used. This isn't to say they're quiet -- they're not. Somehow more focused.
Glad you're enjoying the SpeakEasy Speakers!

The sound is middling quality at best, bass guitars and drums are muddled, although can be heard, vocals are flat and everything else is ok. This is using a U-Turn turntable.. Switching to an external pre-amp and using the aux input made a very noticeable improvement, enough to make keeping them worthwhile. The HDMI TV input works nicely and is a moderate improvement on the Visio TV's built in audio.
The remote is strange. Firstly, it's not very remote: the line of sight to the IR sensor on the speaker is extremely narrow so that most of the time I walk over to the speaker and place the remote up next to the sensor. This also helps get around a bizarre problem where turning up the volume launches the Netflix app on my TV, which flips the speaker into TV mode. Using the AUX button to get back to the turntable often doesn't work and I have to turn the speaker off then on.
Hey Christian, we reached out to you to address the remote control issues and to discuss speaker placement to improve sonic performance. Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback and we hope to improve your experience.

I was looking for a basic soundbar or speakers to enhance the sound of my TV. I’ve got limited space, close neighbors, and a wife who doesn’t like booming bass. Wirecutter recommended these, and after considering other options, went with Speakeasy in white to match our white bookshelf. Only after ordering did I realize you can’t put a bookshelf speaker on a bookshelf, but that’s okay. They look good up front next to the TV. The sound is clean and natural, and they pair well with my iPhone. Apple Music sounds fantastic through them. Setup was a breeze. My only complaint, which explains the 4 instead of 5 stars, is that the volume can only be raised incrementally. Another reviewer pointed this out. I’d love to raise or lower by one notch rather than six. It’s either too loud or too quiet. For speakers designed this precisely, having precise control over volume should be automatic. Otherwise, the build and components of the speakers seem premium and the purchase price is more than fair.
Hey Robert! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it sounds good. The volume situation doesn't seem quite right. Are they setup to your TV using HDMI-ARC? If so, do you use your TV remote to control the volume? Or the SpeakEasy remote? If you'd like to take the convo to our support team use support@andoveraudio.com. We would hate for them to be defective!
