Very low output

Hi, i bought this product online and found the sound quality very very low. i got the speakers exchanged only to see that the replacement is equally bad and low in volume. i tried with different settings but no use. the fujitsu lap top's small tiny speakers gives better sound output. what could be the problem? is it that these speakers are soooooo poor in sound/volume quality?

Hi, No it isn't powered - its plug and play but the ad posted by manufacturer (phillips) and seller says it is powerful (2W output). Shall follow your advice to try it on a radio as well. Pretty sure I bought a wrong product !!

Are the Philips speakers powered ????
Try in the headphone socket on a radio and check the sound then.

What ohm and watt speakers can I use with a craig CM402 cd am fm player? It came without them

Speaker requirements are likely to be 8 ohm, most modern hi-fi speakers are. A few low-fi systems have used special high impedance speakers and the old hi-fi standard for valve amplifiers was 15 ohm and 3 ohm or lower has been used in televisions a lot.

4 ohm speakers are commonly used where a higher power output is desired at the cost of some quality of sound reproduction but depending on how the sound is listened to can soon overload some amplifiers primarily designed for 8 ohm as it will try and deliver more power into the lower impedance speakers and perhaps exceed the rating.

8 ohms is a safer choice. The lower the wattage rating of the speakers the more efficiently they tend to be able to reproduce sound at low volume levels so for background music in a small domestic environment the average power requirement will be in the order of half a watt so even with a high powered amplifier the volume would rarely be turned up above 1 - 2 on the typical scale of 10 and ten watt speakers would be more than adequate. It is unfortunate that it is almost impossible to obtain quality speakers rated at such an unfashionably low power rating.

With the stiffer cones of a higher power rated speakers the volume has to be turned higher before the speakers become efficient and listening at low levels can be difficult. In a domestic environment a 50 watt rating is perhaps the best compromise as if there are neighbours to consider a ten watt average power output will be sufficient even if the amplifier is capable of higher powers. Just don't turn the volume up more than necessary.

The greater the power rating the more power will be required for efficient reproduction. For electrical and mechanical safety of the speakers the rating should exceed the maximum output of the amplifier but listening at low levels with quality of sound can become virtually impossible.

It is all a matter of taste and environment.

I have a NESA 695 and have recently bought an HD TV with DVD player and a few more bells and whistles and have found that the sound quality and strength of the Tv is very poor. I want to send the audio...

Seems all flat panel TV's have bad sound mainly because there isn't room to put decent sized speakers in them, you can use the audio output RCA jacks to hook an external amp if you would like

I have two AIWA SX-WND7 speakers. From the back of each speaker there is one black/blue wire and one black/white wire. Can I attach these to m PC, or do I need a free-standing tuner, or what. Sure would...

Your Aiwa speakers are passive units and need considerable power to drive them to a reasonable volume level, comparative to the output of a PC.

The sound card of a PC produces a reasonable quality output but in the terms of power is a very modest output which is why the usual speakers used with a PC are active types - i.e. have a self contained power amplifier, usually driven by a remote power supply.
This type of active speaker is designed to connect via the headphone/speaker socket and still produce a good quality sound. This is possible as the speaker's internal amplifier is built with a particularly low impedance input that matches the low output impedance of the PC headphone output that would be unsuited to be connected to the average hifi amplifier.

Many PC sound cards have a Line Out socket that would be suitable for connection to many hifi amplifiers.

Bose Cinemate speakers stopped working

Sounds like you need to take them back for exchange. A new electronic product is most likely to fail in the first few months, when any weak or defective parts that made it through final test at the factory decide to **** out after a few hours of use. This is a very common situation, especially nowadays with manufacturers buying the cheapest parts they can find, and the general public crying out for lower prices instead of paying more money for better quality. Bose has traditionally been "top of the line" stuff, but even they have to cut corners to keep prices low and sell stuff in this economy.
