TIBO Legacy 5+ | Passive Hi-Fi Floor Standing Speakers | 200W | Black 23019

i orderd the tibo legacy 5+.. out of the box they looked great..i connected them to my kenwood 3020 amp and noticed one of the tweeters wasnt workin..i returned them to amazon and had a refund.. i then ordered another set direct from 'tibo' themselves.. i took them out of the box and connected them to my amp.. put a cd on and had the volume quarter way up... within 5mins one of the tweeters was gone..again..i panned from left to right to make sure..turned it up a liitle more...and the other tweeter near on caught fire..smoke puffed out the back and that was that! Sorry but i advise NOT to buy these 'cheaply wired' britsh made speakers... yep..RUBBISH!!

Best value entry hifi pair of speakers. First, got'em paired with smsl plus dac amp and heavy floor stands (speakers are placed their bottoms up as they have downfiring port, which now fires up and actually sounds softer and deeper). Don't get me wrong - you will get better stage and definition from a more expensive speakers pair. What I'm saying is you can get decent worth every penny sound with lows going lower than those £200+ ;)Now using better dac (DF red), smsl as just amp and taking time to position them (they don't like anything more than 2,3 meters apart - stage just disappears maybe due to my setup in the room) they sound very crisp, dynamic and persistent. What I noticed that they don't get my ears as tired as floorstander speakers powered by sanskrit dac and denon 7.2 avr. Instrumental music on medium listening volumes specifically. For loud music I prefer floorstanders.Update: After three months I started hearing distorted highs. It was really bad with MAC Pro original sound output powered by SMSL AMP. First I changed several power bricks for the SMSL AMP without any change as I thought maybe it's dirty power. Properly grounded everything. Even Dellppo power supply had the same issue. Literally every high above 2.5KHz would be sounding almost similar cracking noise like burnt speaker. Then I aded а Dragonfly Red DAC and now this distortion is heard slightly higher - I'd say from 3,5KHz. I do not want to continue using these speakers as my ears heart after half a hour of listening. I wish I could return them!

I purchased these Tibo 1 mini bookshelf speakers when they were on offer for £39.99. All I can say is wow, that's an enormous amount of speaker for not very much money. If you paid £150 for them youd not be disappointed. As soon as you open the box, you know these are decent. The cabinets and compact but heavy and solid. That build quality is exceptional. I think they look better with the magnetic mounted front grills off - see picture. Round the back, good quality binding posts that take banana plugs should you wish - no cheap spring clips here. They come supplied with spikes and protective disc feet to protect delicate surfaces. You need the spikes because the base port fires downwards - nifty feature because you can mount them tight to the wall for maximum space saving.They sound amazing. Every bit as good as speakers from.thr likes of Qaccoustics sound - I know because I also have a pair of those. The sound is full and crystal clear. It packs a mighty bass punch because the downward firing bass ports have the effect of using the surface to amplify further. So much so, if you place them on a sideboard, the acoustics generated might be too much and so you might need to use foam plugs in the bass ports to prevent the bass dominating.All in all, I defy anyone to find an alternative speaker of such quality for under £50. I don't believe you can.

Returning to 'vinyl' after many years of CD's I had a limited budget but wanted a quality sound with good bass response, clean upper frequencies and a full satisfying sound. After weeks of research I came across Tibo. Affordable, British and good looking. I bought a Tibo amp and these speakers. Spent money on an Audio Technica deck and I am very happy. These speakers really are fantastic value for money. Really solid and well made. Magnetic grills are a nice touch. Spike and cup feet are great. Good quality connections. And then there's the sound. OK I do tend to have bass and treble wound up, but only at lower volume. Turn them up a bit and they literally expand and explode! Great carriage, fine detail and serious drive. They punch above their weight! Warm, detailed, powerful response. Excellent!

I am an audio engineer all my life. The TIBO Legacy 5+ are definitely a great purchase. Mine are for listening to music and TV in my living room. I also wanted something average to check my mixes from the studio on a standard speaker. Frequency response is very good. Occasionally I would boost the bass or treble but I generally leave my class a amp flat depending what I use the speakers for, TV or music. My only suggestion to TIBO is packaging. The box was damaged and had a whole just at the location of one of the tweeters. Some extra protection is necessary because the tweeter is exposed. It's a miracle the tweeter didn't get damaged. Pure luck I guess. Otherwise it's a great purchase.
