Dayton Audio B652

Pros: No Replacement for Displacement. The 6.5in Drivers in these make BIG sound. Most other cheap speakers only sport 4in and if you are lucky 5.25. The sealed box means you can push them HARD. Having no crossover is better then having a cheap crossover.

Cons: Not the prettiest speakers (with the grills on). The Spring clips on the back are OK and CAN ACCEPT a banana clip but a 5-way would be better.

Summary: I have used these speakers since Steve Gutenberg gave them a place in the "TOP SPEAKERS UNDER $1,000" post. I Recommend them all the time and have probably purchased eight pair personally. Not great at low volume but at HIGH VOLUME they come alive and the lightweight box comes into play. They measure 4ohm with my multi-meter and I have personally found stacking 2 or 3 of these per channel and wiring them in series can make a pretty mean and efficient line array. It was something I have always wanted to do but never had access to A LOT of good matching speakers. You can't build these for their price and if you don't have a pair just to see what all the fuss is about. Get one.
