TDK Tremor Xa60

Wednesday March 15, 2006

TDK | http://www.tdk.com.au

$97

Price at time of review.

We didn’t think that speakers this small could produce decent sound, but we’re happily wrong.

Seriously impressive sound from very small speakers!

User Rating:

The punch delivered from these 60 Watt 2.1 speakers is impressive!

Cranking them up with the sub’s main volume dial gives a full dynamic range that’s loud, punchy and yet manages to leave vocals in both music and movies distinct.

The sub provides ample bass, though turning the treble/bass knob seemed only to cause distortion. Treble rich music sounded great, so too were heavy bass sounds and games.

When using them as our TV’s main speakers, the wide dispersion of the thin satellites filled the room. They’re the best, smallbut- powerful, speaker system we’ve seen.
