I came across these because someone asked if a certain 3 piece combo had 'synergy'... and i'm always interested in seeing how someone can make a cheaper mousetrap



funny thing is you're able to option these as 8 ohm or 4 ohm


now undoubtedly... these speakers are, let's just say, less than optimal as far as performance goes

these are sealed and they look and sound (from the YT video) to be extremely rough

but i have never seen the option to select the impedance

Crossover Cutoff Point: 10Khz

So basically the woofer breakup modes aren't suppressed, and the directivity will be a mess.

Shame the Dayton MK602X are no longer available. Those used to be really good $100 speakers if you applied EQ to the treble.

i keep looking at that guy in the video and he's going.... "this sounds so great and its loud and clear!"

and i'm thinking... DO YOUR EARS WORK? AT ALL?


and this neatly folds back into the threads about how people buy cheap bad goods... and why they exist at all... its because they cant tell the difference

Well, and YouTube reviewers will say almost anything.
