Product ReviewsDayton Audio B652 Main / Stereo Speakers

Excellent speakers, in a small package, and a great price!

The Dayton Audio B652 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair is an EXCELLENT value, at a hair under $40.00, with free shipping. The sound quality is excellent, and the size is quite manageable. With a CD signal, or an FM radio program, turning up my PYLE PT390AU receiver results in a loud, clear sound from the B652 loudspeakers. Midrange & high-end frequencies are crisp, and low-end bass is better than most small speakers can reproduce. My wife is surprised that she can hear & understand our stereo, from any room in our house, now that we have these speakers. Clarity is the same, regardless of volume level. The housing is vinyl-wrapped particle board, but it is attractive. The grilles are cloth-covered, and are removeable. There is a keyhole hanger, on the back of each speaker, for wall-mounting. The cabinets also have dense, foam feet, is you want to stand them on some hard surface. I have them laying down, on an actual bookshelf. I am waiting on a powered subwoofer, just to satisfy my need for even more bottom end! I am considering buying a second pair of the Dayton Audio B652 6-1/2" speakers, to put in another room.

Excellent value for background music or surround sound.

Bought these as extension speakers and am quite happy with their performance and value for the money. Would not recommend as main speakers but they would be an excellent choice for surround or 2nd room speakers. Cannot play at loud volumes without distortion and bass is lacking as one would expect. For around $50 bucks a pair they are head and shoulders above whatever else (plastic) is available in this range. If you don't expect too much from these...then you will be happy with the great value they represent. The built in hanger & light weight makes for easy one screw wall mounting.Read full review...

Dayton Audio B652

Used this to replaced my broken sony 3 way bookshlef speakers. Didnt want to spend a lot of money for a very old sony stereo. Speaker sound quality is ok and the box is great,its has crisps sound on hi.'s but the bass are so-so. If you want deep base you should go for the three way or bigger speakers with woofers or sub-woofers. Over all i'm happy with my purchase. It brought back my system back to life.Read full review...

Low Cost- far better than expected.

I ordered this inexpensive set of Dayton’s to step in as the highs in a mini amp 2.1 setup.
I was using some 8 ohm tiny generics for full range in an attempt to protect the cheap 2.1 amp. The “Breeze Audio” claims wattages of 50x2 for full range and 100x1 for the subwoofer- I doubted the claims of compatibility with such a range of impedance.
I never introduced the bass to my previous highs. These B652’s had such clarity I thought what the hell- let’s see what they can do. These speakers handled real full range and as much power as the power supply and amp could throw at them. I’m impressed and look forward to trying products from Dayton in the higher level categories- particularly tower speakers and subs. Read full review...

B652 = The B52 of Speakers

Dayton has hit a home run. This speaker sounds great for its size. Size is the key here. It will not fill a large room with good sound. However, a medium to small room, and these things will surprise you. Full bass, excellent highs with decent dispersion.

I put them in a window, (tactile rubber on the bottoms, kills vibration), all I can say is WOW!
Played with a decent amp and not too loud, these speakers will do the job. The pair with the EMT
tweeter is even better!Read full review...

Compact speakers for a compact price.

I like the speakers I purchased. I like the compact size, clarity of sound. I feel they are a good value for the price, without having to spend a fortune. I would recommend them to anyone who is on a budget. The only improvement that could me made is if they could handle a higher power output. My receiver can blow the speakers if I crank the volume to high. Otherwise, they do get the job done. Good sound for little money.Read full review...

Great sounding passive speakers at a great price!

A two-way compact speaker with a surprising sound quality.The 6 1/2 woofer while rated to have a bass response down to 70 Hz, sounds much deeper. A friend stopped by my office and i turned them up for a demo. He thought I had a subwoofer on. The surround is rubber, not foam meaning a longer life. The tweeter sounds great too, not harsh like some. Perfect for a dorm room, bedroom or office. Buy a small T-class amp to power them and you are set to have great music. Listen, for 40 bucks they cant be beat. I'm still in shock of how good they sound. I'm not sure, but I don't think they are shielded which makes not much difference these days when placing close to a flat panel TV or monitor. Just in case I left it next to my monitor for a few hours and saw no issues. Great Speakers!!!!!!!!Read full review...

These little speakers Thump

I paired these bookshelf speakers with a little $30 Amp and I am really impressed with the outcome! The speakers have a good solid sound that you can't beat for the price. They get loud, decent bass response and provide a great value. Read full review...

Two thumbs up.

I really didnt expect much for 40 dollar speakers. Especially being small ones at that. Boy was i wrong. i ran these guys with an ns 10g 100 watt amp and the sound and clarity is very, very good. I would definitly buy another pair soon for my billiards room.Read full review...

Very happy, these sound like the good old days!

These speakers are just right for my apartment! I should have known after using my old smaller pair for so long that 6-1/2 inches was the diameter of the speaker itself, not the box! It was a pleasant surprise that these were much larger than I expected. Size wasn't an issue anyway and they are easy to mount right on the wall or shelf.
They sound great! I'm in a small apartment in a Senior Complex so volume is a small issue... Did get a few chances to crank them up with some Grateful Dead on the turntable and was very pleased! Good sound from every room and very clear! Now I need a decent amp and tuner to match these speakers!Read full review...
