"This one's in white." Probably the best line you've had so far. I laughed out loud. Nearly spit out my coffee.

Lol “pro tip”: to avoid the fingerprints, permanently wrap your fingers in Sith Audio electrical tape, $139 per roll.

[GeorgeJohnson-gfdo]

Can I just say that The Cheap Audio Man makes me laugh... He"s hilarious!

Remember this day, Randy says "This is a Tower Speaker Room", Love it. WIll be waiting on the Polk towers you have on deck!

Just Got these used for 60 US dollars, now I have really nice sound in the kitchen. Preparing food makes way more fun now🎶🎶

Randy, I absolutely love your videos. You have helped me to completely change my viewpoint about what ‘good’ hi-fi can really mean. I have been chasing ‘audiophile’ quality components to achieve a sound signature that I learned I have no idea how to achieve. I’m also a hearing aid wearer and this completely jacks up my hearing, whether they are in my ears or not. I’ve found I need to go simple with something that has reasonably adjusted tone control. Anyone else listening with me might be screwed and the dog is unnecessarily punished with my ridiculous highs but I enjoy.

Anyway, you’ve opened my eyes to the fact that there are so many excellent components out there that can make listening a pleasure without worrying about breaking the bank or the disappointment of mismatched finicky high-end stuff that is a nightmare to pair up.

Anyway - thank you for what you do and how you have made information and education about hi-fi both understandable and achievable. I’m convinced you are resetting the paradigm around hi-fi listening. At least for me. ✌️

“This one’s in white” - as he points to the red speaker he’s holding LOL

[Simon_Hawkshaw]

You make everything sound so enticing that I have to binge listen to everything you create, which isn't a bad thing, but my wallet is protesting. Keep up the great work.

[ScotDouglas]

"This one's in white" 😆 I had to play that over 3x and still laugh at how smooth you were.

[billywindsock]

I tried the sandpaper. The upside is they don’t fall apart when you throw them at your screen because they are scratched. I like the white, it’s very colourful.

[MrTabacon]

Nice to see you having fun and getting sucked into a few extra tracks. I love it when a song sounds so good it kicks off a random playlist that lasts an hour or two.

[paulpresleyjr]

I own them in white and I bought them based on Nemos review. They are great speakers built like a tank with a painted finish. They sound very close too Paradigm atom monitors as well as Focal Chora 806 both of which cost more.Great job Randy!!

[mjstealey]

My favorite parts of this video have nothing to do with the speakers.
- 1. Holy crap does it look like you're having fun!
- 2. Acknowledging other audio YouTube folks when the opportunity presents itself

Kudos for not developing a ginormous head with such rapid success.
Job well done sir!

[postjm]

Thanks! Already a patreon supporter, but I laughed out loud more than once.
Just a jolly video.

[chenolan]

Love that you did this setup, it's exactly how I do it, Airplay to tv to Kinter K2020A+($35) amp to KLH bookshelf speakers from the 90's. Cheap and it plays music.

[PharaoRamsesII]

What people always seem to forget when talking about low sensitivity is the following:
If you have smallish speakers, you most likely wont sit 7 meters away from them so you still don't need that much power to listen to them. So it doesn't matter too much.

[randybehenna]

Love this guys reviews laughing while learning ..great job man

[stevezeidman]

Very entertaining review! Chuckled all the way through. Great info of these speakers! Great job!

[aRc-]

Good low driver, with some solidity of a cabinet, can together make for good bass.

[onyachamp]

Could you review the red version next please.
White is a bit too clinical for my liking.
Pretty sure it's faster in red.
