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

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 were part of a package deal I purchased with the Dayton Audio HTA100 and paired with that amp, I'm totally pleased with their sound quality, clarity, and bass response. The build quality is also excellent. The ONLY thing I would change is the light gray grills, I would have preferred charcoal or black. I run them without the grills but you may not want to do that if you have curious kids! If you're thinking about a sonically impressive set of speakers that just happen to be affordable, you found them.

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.

Highly satisfied with these towers and I haven’t even modified them! Super clear and punchy even with my sub turned off these delivery that low end that you’ll love. Perfect size for any space. Not sure how much power they can handle but they seem to be working perfectly with my Onkyo.

Sound fantastic! The bass keeps up with the sub woofer. Well balanced mid to high range.

These speakers deliver sound that far exceeds their price range. Amazing!

They were well packaged with no damage. I hooked them up to a Sony ES receiver and played them for about 4 1/2 hours. The longer I played them the better they sounded. For the money so far I am well pleased. I bought them for a gift for someone who has never had anything nice for audio. I'm sure they will love them.

I have been building a little system for my record player. I have had many high end speakers over the years, Cerwins, Infinity, Polk etc. But, Im building this system on a budget…and honestly was thinking I wouldn’t get much for $200 a pair, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and sound. The bass response is definitely fighting above it’s weight, in other words they thump pretty good for 6”. Do they sound as good as my VS80 Cerwins on my main system? No…but those were 2 bills a piece 30 years ago. I coupled them with 2 CV bookshelf speakers, and it sounds great when I’m spinning vinyl and even better on bluetooth . I have a graphic equalizer on the way and that will allow me to dial the system in completely. I don’t think you can beat these speakers for the money. They came in a big box with plenty of protection. I used banana clips on the speaker wires, super easy to hook/unhook. Overall, are they audiophile worty? …of course not, but I am super happy with the value for the money
