Review on some 2.1 and 4.1 channels-This being an ok ok product
Overall , not a bad choice , plenty of features , but then its everywhere these days . I have used three speakers thus far
1.Fenda 330 bt= 56 watts RMS= Bluetooth , Bass control, but no USB or memory-awesome value for money n cheapest.Failed on one IC being out switched 2 to 1 Audio in.
Great buy still on emi store digital for rs 1999.Nothing can beat this young beast in terms for value for money. Though its a discontinued model.
2.Logitech Z-623 =200 wats RMS, simply mind blowing, THX Certified , lovely bass at low volumes , unbeatable price at rs 9000 from cloud tail-bajaj EMI STORE...Go blindly , if your budget is for up to 10000. Nothing in the market at that price comes closer to it at the moment.
Sadly no bluetooth, USB Connection , only Aux. But best music in market at that price. No doubts. looks like an model soon to be outdated , hence selling below at MRP Price of rs 16455
3.LG OM4560- After I bought Logitech Z-623 above , a week back , wanted another speaker in lieu of my ailing Fenda model above. I am neither a music buff , nor a techie , but an ex guitarist and a layman , who like s all kinds of music and appreciates good speakers. This speaker sounded good and was advertised as 220 watts RMS at chroma wrongly , where I went in to listen it. Plus the reviews on bajaj EMI STORE India n emi store. LG has come a long way indeed. this is a small boombox and good for a 260 sq feet room but music wise way below bass on logitech Z-623 above.
The areas where it scores is , Bluetooth,USB, One single unit compared to other 2.1 channels , beautiful led changing lightings , n mike of ahuja make , which came along with it from a local store -which gave the best price at rs 14350...Online the price is expensive. better buy from a local dealer who is cheaper than online and vijay sales, chroma , sargam etc..The things which go against this is -not a party speaker n low on bass compared to above and may be others in that price range. And a hefty price tag at 14350. Is it value for money ???? I have some doubts , but my kids aged 20 and 22 , do like modern day features , like blue tooth , n mike , hence a keeper.
4. Tried sony sa-d100 4.1 channel speakers-100 RMS (rs 8490-loca store) and Fenda F& d 3800 fx 5.1 channel with 80 RMS and emi store digital Reconnect electra at emi store show room. While Sony is good at rs 8500 in emi store digital , F&D is value for money. Reconnect is okay on bass and VFM but doubt on after sale service and parts , hence out of equation.
I have listened to many sets in showroom and read a lot of reviews , as am a guy who researches on his electronic toys before buying..In terms of ranking , here it goes..
1.Logitech z623-undisputed champion on bass and clarity -THX certified-Old model though, but nothing beats it..especially for party occasions.
2.Number two LG OM 4560 -If money no problem , as host of good features and remember is a single carry on unit. LG's FH2 Model is an alternative with equally good sound and can be carried as with built in trolley n has rechargeable battery too.This is not a party speaker , good for room sizes up to 250 sq feet , but definitely behind logitech above.
3.F& D comes third , though best value for money , but is a chinese company and we normally would avoid a chinese product these days , though they offer good variety in lots of 2.1 and 5.1 channel speakers.
4. Would avoid Sony- least good looking and very costly after sale maintenance. Sony has taken Indian market for a ride ...and penalised Indians for loyalty , not shown else where in world. The parts are expensive , services charges are exorbitant. stay away from a sony product , unless you are a diehard sony fan..My best wishes then.
5. Where to buy-bajaj EMI STORE and emi store offer good choices and reviews , with bajaj EMI STORE slightly better on prices compared to emi store in terms of prices and questions answered , no where on any other e-commerce website. where to listen the speakers personally- Croma,Vijay sales,Sargam -for live performance , but not to be bought from these big retail chains as too many overheads and will not bargain. Best to buy from local exclusive brand stores , unless its a lighting deal from bajaj EMI STORE or emi store.
Hope you enjoyed my fair review and have no interest in any brand and wrote basis experience.Thanks for your time.
