from Liverpool Summary:
I purchased these pair of F30 to replace the little front speakers came with my ONKYO receiver.
The first thing that got my attention was it's nice cherry-wooden finish, then I read it can handle 120w more than I need. Most speaker's impidance in the store was 6ohm and the F30 hahdle 8ohm, which match perfectly to my receiver.
I use them mostly as front for a 5.1 setup, at the beginning I used single wire to hook them, then bi-wired them and I noticed a change in the mids. The sound improved a lot, so I recomend people to bi-wire this speaker instead of using the bypass.
Then I learned I had to break in the speakers in order to get better sound, I had them breakin in for about 200 hour with all kind of music.
For the price paid I think this is a good speaker. Most people might think otherwise, but I think it's not the speaker's fault. I mean, many people get this 450 USD speaker and expect a 4500 USD spaker sound, which is quite impossible.
I compared the F30 to a 630 dollar YAMAHA when I was purchasing, and this one sounded far better than the Yamaha. The vocals are clearer, better mids and the bass is smoother.
The F30 has titanium dome tweeter, personally I like more this kind of tweeter than the soft dome. I consider it makes the high clearer, but it might sound too harsh for some listener. Well this is just my modest opinion. Strengths:
Clear sound, titanium dome tweeter, very good sound for the price. Nice cherry-wooden finish. Good size. Weaknesses:
Toy like grill. The bass is good, but maybe more could be good. But since the bass is delivered by 2 13cm woofer, i guess it's not a weakness. Similar Products Used:
