Review 1 of 104
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I bought a set of 583lr from a pawn shop in unopened box for 80.00 these are the best speakers i have ever had not to mention cheap as crap! the bass on these is ridiculous i will never need a sub now. my whole house shakes NOT EXAGGERATING! i don't know the difference between the ones you guys bought and the ones i have but i know the speakers are yellow with cone shaped dust covers and they have a honey comb surface with black case. same case as the picture on here but the speakers look nothing like that. BEST $80 i ever spent!

Review 2 of 104
Price Paid:
$25.00
from Yard sale Summary:
I have just recently purchased a pair of these infamous Audiofile 583 LR speakers. Unlike others on this site, I did not buy these from the back of a truck, van, or SUV; I got mine at a yard sale in my neighborhood for $25.00. I have been satisfied with them so far. When I saw them sitting in the front yard of this person selling them, they looked impressive and felt impressive due to their weight and size. Like others here, I immediately looked for Audiofile on the Internet and found nothing but negatives.
I have these speakers hooked up to an older Harman/Kardon receiver with an Audiosource power amp. Not having used a set of tower speakers in quite some time, I have been please with these for the price I paid. Strengths:
Weight, sound, good deal for the price paid. Weaknesses:
Nothing yet

Review 3 of 104
Price Paid:
$200.00
from white van Summary:
I'vve had these speakers for over 6 years. Yah my buddy and I each bough a pair for $200 from the infamous white van in San Diego, but these speakers have held up in 5 different houses 5 cities and two states. They sound good (no bass) but with a klh sub, klh rears, and a sony amp, they make great speakers as part of my surround system. What kind of Audiofile just uses two speakers anyways? I probably overpaid (I was a dumb college kid) but I don't know too many speaker towers that last that long and still hold up. The only reason I'm not using them now is because my wifes dumb cats started scratching at them and we ended up buying a whole new amp/dvd/mp3 5.1 system. Strengths:
durability, highs, mids Weaknesses:
bass Similar Products Used:
klh, sony

Review 4 of 104
Price Paid:
$50.00
from From a friend Summary:
Wow! Everyone is slamming these speakers! I purchased these used from a friend recently, and have been pleased with the value. The bass response is not outstanding, but what do you expect from some 8" woofers in a standard ported enclosure? I came on here looking for some advice or possibly a manufacturer contact, as one of my tweeters is blown, and I was searching for a replacement set. Does anyone want to sell the set that they are so disappointed with? Strengths:
They are a bargain for what I paid. I would compare them to any $200 per set speaker out there, and if I was looking for speakers in that price range, I would definitely purchase a set. Most of the floor standing speakers that are this size are $200 each or more. Even MTX home stereo equipment is more expensive. Weaknesses:
Light on the low end, and not incredibly musical, but if you are looking for some above entry level speakers, these will fit the bill nicely. Add a subwoofer to these, and you are rockin'! Similar Products Used:
MTX, Sony, Pioneer

Review 5 of 104
Price Paid:
$0.00
from borrowed Summary:
We all know about the guys who pull up to you at the stop light and get your attention then try to sucker you into buying these, and a friend of mine did. As a professional audiophile I would have known these were cheap rip-offs immediately, having a name which no audiophile recognises and a low quality finish on MDF to start. 25 watts high current will drive these beyond linear Xmax, yet they do not use it efficiently. Beware of this one. The company could have done better with one Fostex driver and no tweeter, woofer, or crossover and would have had a beautiful speaker. Strengths:
Nothing Weaknesses:
Literally too many to list in this space. A scam. Similar Products Used:
Some REAL mid-high end speakers: B&W 802D, B&W CM7, Fostex Sigmas, HIVI Research M1.2, D2.1SE, Magnepan MC1, MG12, Lowther's, Vifa's.
