Dayton Audio Classic T65 Floor-Standing Tower Speaker Pair (Black)

Great sounding speakers absolutely worth the price.

Initial Impression. Arrived this afternoon and I began the unpacking. Wow! The protection from double boxing and copious amounts of foam was impressive. The finish of the wood style is simply beautiful, very good quality. I used 12 gauge wire and banana plugs to hook them up and switched them on. My Pioneer receiver has an A/B switch and I have some quality Micca Bookshelf speakers in the A position. So switching to B and the Daytons was a pleasant experience with a great Dave Brubeck "Time Out" LP. The bass was a a little too pronounced so I backed it off. I'm both amazed and happy with how clear and bright they sound. The instruction manual says it may take 30+ hours to break everything in. If the result is better than my first impression, I'm gonna charge people admission to listen to my system!! If anything changes + or - I'll report again. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and get some!

These speakers are just OK, nothing special. They sound OK. They are not crisp and punchy speakers. They function well and are solidly built and are OK for the money. I replaced high end vintage JBL's with these so I guess I was spoiled. But for the money these speakers I would consider a good purchase. They were packed well for shipping and sustained no damage what so ever.

Great speakers for the money! They are well made and sound great. I replaced some high end speakers that were too big for the location. These fit well, look good and deliver great sound.

Speakers sound great for the price ngl

love them they sound amazing they do have some slight dings i’m guessing from when they put it together but not noticeable enough for me to care and the banana plugs make everything easier for connecting them to an amp

I bought a pair of these to complete my Dayton budget speaker suite. My Denon AVR-1700H is a 7.2 A/V receiver and pairs extremely well with this suite of speakers. These towers are crystal clear and the mids and highs are represented nicely. The bass presence is definitely there and much more than the Sony's these are replacing. Fabulous speakers for the sub-300 dollar price. I would definitely recommend Dayton Audio equipment to anybody. The price to performance this suite brings is truly hard to beat.

I have a master’s in music technology and feel that I have a pretty good understanding when it comes to evaluating audio equipment. I took a chance on these speakers and have been pleasantly surprised. Do they sound like high end Wilson Audio or PMC’s, no. But they aren’t pretending to. They do sound considerably better than the 2.1 Andrew Jones system I replaced! Overall, I will say that the mid range is not super detailed and the sound stage is not wide. But for the price, they do sound better than speakers I’ve heard that cost a heck of a lot more. The bass is present enough and balanced without having a sub. Which I like for casual listening. You’ll want a sub if you are using them in a surround setting. I suggest adding a little top end EQ to provide some air and a bit of presence. They do pair well with the Dayton audio tube preamp. They do open up more once they are broken in.

Gran decisión. El sonido es exquisito
