NEUMI BS5 Passive Bookshelf Speakers, 5-Inch Woofer, 1-Inch Tweeter, Dark Wood, 1 Pair

Product Information

Below is a breakout of the typical room’s Early Reflections contributors (floor bounce, ceiling, rear wall, front wall and side wall reflections). From this you can determine how much absorption you need and where to place it to help remedy strong dips from the reflection(s). Notice the strong dips again at 800Hz and 1600Hz.

I'll probably post the details there in the next few days. I'll just ask folks to 'like' a post so I can tally the names and do an online generator for the draw. I do this a lot with other things. Precise imaging and accurate detailing are all features of this bookshelf speaker, while its enclosure comes with vertical corners for baffling diffraction. It also has a magnetic grill for eliminating mounting holes. SpecificationsNot only that, but in some ways you can paint yourself in to a corner using numbers. I've seen it done by other reviewers in the past. At some point things will change (technology gets better, you get a better understanding or better measurement equipment) and that high value may not be such a high value. Something else comes along better than that and it is the "new" 4 out of 5 and the "old", were it to be tested against the current standards, would be moved down to a 2 out of 5. It's a sliding scale and there is little objectivity to these kind of values. I try to avoid subjectivity to the best of my ability because of things like this. I made a few notes about resonance in lower vocals and questioned if I could “hear cabinet ringing”. I noticed this primarily in “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “Tell Yer Mama”. An exciting new speaker from NEUMITECH, designed for the budget-conscious music lover who wants a pair of simple, affordable, yet great sounding speakers. That vertical dispersion though... its a b!tch. Looks like you are better off having those speakers placed slightly below ear level, but just barely. I'm selling RSL speakers if you are local to Chicagoland But in general, look at Accesories 4 less and look at refurb receivers / speakers. I've bought from them before and they are great. Most of their receivers are factory reconditioned and have some sort of warranty as well.

This speaker doesn’t measure perfectly. And, for the most part, I was able to match areas of concern between my subjective listening session and my measurements. Though, I didn’t have any significant gripes about the sound. The one main dislike for me was the reduced treble compared to the midrange. The bass is pretty well blended to the midrange despite the moderate bump in response around 100Hz. There is not much output below this at higher levels, but I can forgive the shortcomings in the bass department because the BS5 isn’t trying to pretend that it can play like a subwoofer. I have seen other 5-inch woofers with higher linear excursion than what these woofers are seemingly capable of but just one of those drive-units alone costs more than this pair of speakers. The midrange distortion is an issue if you’re going to listen at high levels; for me being at 90dB at 11 feet (which is about 93dB at 8 feet per this awesome calculator). These aren’t reference level speakers. But I think anyone buying them understands the implicit output limitations. Under 90dB at 11 feet, the sound is more balanced and undistorted. The mean SPL, approximately 84dB at 2.83v/1m, is calculated over the frequency range of 300Hz to 3,000Hz. It might be difficult to choose the best front-ported bookshelf speaker because of the several trendy options you will find on the market. Still, it is also possible for you to make a great choice from the many present products on the market. These are the components of a bookshelf speaker (and every other speaker) responsible for sound production. Of course, large drivers are better than small ones, but the material used in making them and where they are positioned in a speaker also matters. The compression effects shown in the image below are a visual way of seeing just what happens as the volume is increased. This one is straight-forward. Take the legend’s SPL value and add or subtract the data from the graphic. This tells you if you’re losing or gaining output (yes, you can gain output from compression; as un-intuitive as that seems). Mostly, the compression results in a loss due to temperature increase in the voice coil of the drive unit. Let’s look at a specific example. Take the 90dB at 4 meters target listening volume provided above. Again, you need 93dB’s (7.62vRMS) data. At that volume, the highest amount of compression measured is about 1dB at 40Hz and about 0.25dB at 50Hz, decreasing until about 200Hz. At some points the speaker suffered >2dB compression at 40Hz with 14vRMS. Overall, the compression results tell you what common sense would tell you: don’t try to use this speaker in place of a subwoofer at anything other than lower volumes. Otherwise, at louder listening volumes you lose over 1dB of output. And it is audibly present as a very grainy and “limited” sound; there are no dynamics at this output and that’s exactly what I heard in my listening tests when I pushed the speaker to uncomfortable levels.I believe what I do now is fair and reasonable. Provide the data. Discuss the pros and cons. Say whether I think it is a good speaker. And let the viewer decide if it's worth their money to buy it.

I'm satisfied with the sound immediately (I grew less satisfied with the sound the more I A/B compared to the Bose due to the coloration. I then adjusted the tilt of the speakers and it seemed to fix this coloration issue and bring more clarity to the mids/highs) Sometimes, a bookshelf also requires being positioned in a place with space to perform its functions to the fullest. Bearing all that we have said so far in this guide, the type of front port bookshelf speaker you go for will depend on your preference and style. A music lover knows that investing in a bookshelf speaker will be worth the money and time. Being able to deliver impressive performance and lasting for years are other advantages of settling for a bookshelf speaker.Ok, I own a bunch of speakers. Good speakers. I spend time reviewing options and listening to them. I have "audiophile", studio, home entertainment, and portable speakers from so many different manufacturers you would probably think I have a problem (JBL, Focal, Unity Audio, NHT, Sonos, blah blah). But, I professionally mix music for people, so yeah, I have a discerning ear I suppose. Apart from that.... This is a great neutral speaker and my preliminary observations are that it has excellent directivity & soundstage. A compact 5 incher that truly sounds like a 5 incher! I live in a flat where my living room isn't too large, where I use 5 inch bookshelves, the bedrooms use 4 inchers. And there is a difference in the soundstage width and basically how big the sound is, with 5 vs 4, as I am very well aware of by now... As this is a relatively compact 5 incher, I actually can get that big living room sound now in my master bedroom! Wow! Compared with and A/Bed the BS5s with a Dali Spektor 1 and the Dalis audibly had a smaller soundstage width and weaker bass. Though its bass was precise and blended in very well. Had to reduce the bass a little on the Neumis as they were shoved up all the way against the wall of my bedroom TV console. {I actually bought them for this use scenario as they have front reflex ports.} After which, the sound was well balanced and very pleasing; this neutral speaker shone, honestly and unassumingly (like a neutral speaker would) bringing forth the actuality of whatever media content was playing with a scale disproportionate to it's size. I will update accordingly as I spend more time with this speaker. But it definitely is a keeper! :) In addition, it comes with precision-crafted cabinets that produce distortion-free and warm sounds.

The area between 300Hz to 700Hz (just before the 800Hz dip) is elevated slightly. This area also lines up with the increased THD levels I discussed earlier. This could be coincidence. But I believe they are related. Maybe the port is having more of an effect in this region than it needs to? It comes with a 2 part dc cable that's longer than others, and a longer mp3 cable than others (doesn't really matter, but it's nice)This bookshelf speaker has an elegant look that makes it stand out from so many speakers, and you can trust this speaker to improve the look or appearance of your room. It does seem like it'd be a tad bright, but toeing out aand placement near the rear wall could help. I also wonder whether using partially stuffed ports could be a decent compromise. Furthermore, this speaker will last long as it is designed using premium quality components that make this speaker durable and ensure it produces outstanding sounds. Specifications
