    ► PRO-JECT SPEAKER REVIEW: Pro-Ject SPEAKERBOX 5 S2 Review
    Pro-Ject may not be known for their speakers but I have a feeling that’s about to change! The new Speakerbox 5 S2 speakers come in a variety of colors. We have the Satin Green finish. These are some of the best small speakers for music we’ve come across in a while. These small speakers are solid, made in Europe and won’t break the bank!

    Kristi and Andrew, I really enjoyed the discussion over room comparisons between the old house and new house. Thanks! You'll never hear me criticize your room for listening not being 100% perfect as my house's listening areas is embarrassingly imperfect with the wife's salt water tanks humming away. But it's home for us...so that's good enough for me! Personally, I can't imagine I'd ever want to listen to music in a "perfect" room where I can only listen to music and do nothing else with the room itself.

    Seems that lately there have been quite a few nice surprises in the speaker world that are on the "somewhat affordable" side of things. I've LOVED seeing this and these reviews. My Polk Reserve R600s just showed up today. I didn't think I needed the R700 due to the smaller size of my room (although I am sure I would have loved them!). I am AMAZED so far at how they sound and am like a kid on Christmas morning. The R600 is definitely big enough for me! Thank you for all the work you put into these reviews and helping us all find what will make us happy with the sound of OUR systems. I'm happy now. ;-) I'd be willing to bet that most of the 'hater' comments you get are from people that have paid WAY more for their systems (not that there's anything wrong with that) and just can't understand how someone can be happy for less money. lol. Thanks again for all you both do. LOVE the channel!

    I found a way to improve dialogue in 2 channel system. In case some of you missed it, there is an audio setting in AppleTV force output to Stereo (disable surround sound on Chromecast). I noticed much better dialogue in contents that are designed for multichannel. I am guessing the AppleTV is now pulling the 2 channel audio from source instead of downmixing locally. It seems to affect older movie more. I am using LG C1 OLED and optical out from the TV.

    Wow we are simply spoiled with great reviews (thank you!) and great products these days! Having a small room and needing as much dialogue intelligibility as I can, I was leaning a lot towards the Q Acoustics Concept 30 after having seen your 50's review. I would have never thought Pro-Ject did speakers, though! They really seem to have nailed the sound, look, build quality and budget combination. Between the two, I really think there are no bad choices.

    I was all decided on the Lumina II’s for my living room, had the plan all laid out, and then these green beauties came into my life. The slightly rolled off highs while maintaining clarity make me feel like this might be the better option.

      I don't believe you can make a wrong decision either way, Joe! If you're looking for the green ones seen here, be sure to use our link (desx/pinned comment) because they're impossible to find in that finish option but last I checked you they are still in stock there.

    My question is since they are 55 Hz and up it’s more of a low end frequency speaker but they look so good and they also handle 150 W per channel maximum it’s possible you could use them for DTSX and THX what’s neat about these speakers is it reminds me of the sonance cinema select LCR and you can make multi channel systems from 2.1 2.2 you can add to however many channels even if you wanted 13.2 surround DTSX The possibilities are endless with something like this and I like the colors I would probably get the blue ones

    Always interesting to hear all the comparisons it does seem like entry level speakers just keep improving. Totally agree about as long as you keep the room consistent it will give you at least some comparison between them (if that weren’t true it would make dealer room demos rather pointless 😂)

    You said that to get full range you'd need to budget for a subwoofer. I am sorry if this is a noob question. Since you'd set the crossover at 60, how important is the quality of the subwoofer?

    Doesn't it seem as if in the last couple years, hifi audio has been getting more and more affordable? I haven't been in the hobby that long but everyone, including the dealer I bought my speakers from is saying how affordable really high end sound is becoming. My dealer specifically said he's worried he's gonna have trouble selling more expensive stuff specifically because of how good a lot these new entry level lines are.

      I started out in DIY 10 years ago because I wanted to get high level speakers at a price I could afford. I think unless I got really nice DIY gear and design, buying now makes more sense for me for under $5k. Around $5k DIY you can get very high level gear from the same companies that build equipment for HiFi companies like Scan Speak and SEAS.

    • @Mark-hb2zy
      @Mark-hb2zy Рік тому +4

      @@andrewrobinsonreviews what I'm finding, as someone starting out after a long time away, is that speakers are coming down in price and getting better for the money, but it's not necessarily the case for the amplifiers needed to get the best out of them, which costs more than the speaker more often. It's why I'm strongly considering a pair of kef ls50 wireless used, for about £700/£800. No way could I match that sound quality buying an amp and passive speakers for that money.

      This is my observation as well, but I think this is true of consumer technology across the board. If I could sum it up, it is as though the threshold for “The Law of Diminishing Returns” is falling. That is not to say that when speaker A is exceptional, but speaker B is breathtaking, there is that audiophile dilemma; you have to ask yourself if the hundreds or thousands of dollars is worth the perceived higher level of performance. I can remember packing lunches from home so that I could afford that jump.

    Love the green! It takes a speaker that's otherwise rather nondescript in it's construction and makes it pop. I love my wood tones, but i could definitely see something like this gracing my bedroom, especially at this price. Well done review as per usual. And Kristi, ignore the riff raff. It's the Internet. Anonymity often encourages opinionated belligerence. Audio science and the pursuit of "perfection" is laudable, but somewhat unrealistic given none of us have perfect rooms either. That's why they have things like Dirac. You guys keep doing you and we'll keep watching. After all, as Andrew says, the only person who has to enjoy the sound of your system is who? That's right.

    How do they compare to: Speaker Box 5 S2, Sonus Faber Lumina 2, Arendal and Monitor Audio Silver. -
    I need to have them close to the front wall LESS THAN 12"
    Looking for more detail and Dynamics at low to moderate listening levels
