I wonder if the model name "OS-10" isn't a nod to Paul Carmodys Overnight Sensations? These clearly resemble them. Great video! Especially the FR graphs of various distances from the wall and possible explanations for the dips and peaks. Good looking speakers! I like the fabric on the sides a lot!
get the far from the wall , yes , get them of the table also , i can hear that table even without headphones , without studio monitors , on cheap speakers in non perfect position . I would not be able to listen at all there . Speaker needs room , not from the back wall , from all walls and surfaces . So DIY it lose the table .
trying to decide between the ORA's or the SWANS.... to set up as computer speakers mostly for listening to utube / movies / music not really a bass head but i still don't mind it Which of those 2 would you recommend i am in Canada SWANS are 234 canadian and the ORA's are 399 look forward to your thoughts thanks in advance and i love your channel cheers from Canada
lol I’m in the same boat and no UA-cam reviewer has answered my question. Z reviews has reviewed both of these speaker but doesn’t respond to questions.
Forget the measurements use your ears . because sound/music is 100% subjective when it hits the brain just try different positions and you will know immediately which position you prefer . if you don t have the space for optimal listening then condition the ' Listener ' not the room .
I have a mac mini. May I know the best way to connect these to a mac mini to get the best sound quality ? The provided RCA cable connection makes it sound compressed.
They sound great but just 2 qeustion’s how do they stack up against the edifier r2000db, and does it come with front covers to keep dust and grime away from the woofers?
Should I constantly power these on and off when using it or is it okay to have it left Power On? Does this have any long term effect if I don't power these OFF when I'm not using it? I am currently using these on my PC primarily only
Hi, I hv this speaker for 6 months and the sound just good at this price ! but hv some issue, the touch panel menu doesn't work, just RMA for replacement panel, sadly it comeback with same problem. any idea? Thanks!
I'm not a fan of the touch panel, I found it difficult to use. I had them located on a high shelf where you can't reach them, and I just use the remote control.
Добрый! Нужен саб у которого есть вход и выход( как правило это студийные сабы, возможно есть и у бытовых такая фича!) Подключаете ваш источник на вход саба, а выход саба (уже со всеми подрезами по частотке) идет на вход акустики( hivi). Регулировка громкости тогда будет на источнике (например, dac..регулируемый выход!) В этом случае делаете громкость на максимум в hivi и все..)
@@КонстантинТкачёв-о2з Здравствуйте!располагаю бюджетным сабом с выходом на 5 колонок и подключением к пк через 3 мини джека на 5 каналов. Подскажите по схеме, верно понимаю Вашу мысль о подключении "сванов" в подобный сабвуфер? А то что они активные ничего страшного? Просто по rca пойдет подключение в каналы-выходы саба?
@@stephankerforde386 Здравствуйте! Да ..с выхода саба по rca подключить к активной акустике! Что бы регулировать громкость всей системы, надо на акустике сделать на мах! Тогда громкость регулировать на компьютере. Ну т.е. на источнике!
Just got the new Swan Os10. Not impressed, doesn't sound 'live' with my expensive DAC. my Creative T20 which is >10yrs old sounded much better!!! Waste of money, reminded me why I got rid of the swan M200 speakers just after a few days. Can't compare to REAL audiophile ones.... for me at least.
No offense for $150 I would get the harman kardon Studio 4 or 6. I know its not the same class of speaker, but its portable and has amazing bass. I have bought dozens of BT speakers and so far I like the harman kardons Onyx series. I am sure the audiophiles will say its a terrible speaker cause it colors the music with bass.

I really appreciate you taking the time to measure these.

I just assumed they were playing on apple's operating system.
This is most likely the case

Bass C4. Mids and Highs are a shape charge. :)
Beautiful speakers! I am using D1100 for desktop and can't hear difference when placing them away from wall
I'm stuck trying to decide between these and the Edifier R1700BTs
I have not heard the Edifiers.

my os 10 starting having high pitch noise without input signal connected, although not significant, it's not so acceptable for having it 2 years.

The provided RCA cable connection makes it sound compressed.
How does a front port change the placement best practices? Can those be placed closer to/against the wall with less impact?
Should not make much of a difference.
Is the body of the speakers made from plastic or MDF?
I've read somewhere that they are made completely of plastic.
Honestly not sure. It feels solid and does not seem to resonate.
I like the look myself, pretty snazzy. Knobs FTW. Can you swap the woofer to see if there's any design/sound difference ?
Nope, this thing is sealed up tight. I can't figure out how to get it apart without breaking something.
@@DIYAudioGuy figures
Loudspeaker Cook Book is great. The newest edition includes DSP.
I need to grab a copy that edition!
get a load of this guy and his 'freedom unit's :) :)
It is a joke, and I hope you enjoyed it.
@@DIYAudioGuy i did :)
not funny and not believable that the intent was entirely to be humerous .
@@siriosstar4789 lighten up bro, i'm sure there was malicious intent.

Zeos says the OS-10s go right up to the next step, the M300 Mk 2.
Should I constantly power these on and off when using it or is it okay to have it left Power On? Does this have any long term effect if I don't power these OFF when I'm not using it? I am currently using these on my PC primarily only
I keep mine powered on all the time, I have no idea if it's a good idea or not but it's just what I do.

Same with me, the touch panel now stopped working, and there's some wool or something in the back port
@@BeastModeZone try to RMA the product. Now I just using only the remote, will be big trouble if the remote broken.
How do you connect a subwoofer to the HiVi-Swans OS-10 though? It would have been perfect had they included a sub-out.
There is no sub out, so you can't.
@@DIYAudioGuy Do you think they generate enough bass to keep the average person happy?

What about placement in car audio?
It is a lot trickier!
Im trying to choose between Mr4 for $80 or os10 for $136 right now
Get the os10, I picked them over the Edifier R1700
Have you tried both? There are very few reviews of the swans
@@saviour7431Zeos says the OS-10 better than the MR-4.
Swan has many good speakers but not this model , minimum u need M50w

I wish it could be paired with a subwoofer.

Ummm ... , what makes an option, honest , Or dishonest ?
It is a figure of speech.
