Brian, your question about cheap speakers appeared here, and four
replies.

Brian said

I was looking around various sites for some relatively cheap speakers
for my bedroom that do not sound like cardboard boxes, and are not of
the younguns megabase as used by DJ Plonker etc, and the name Beng came
up. It only seems to have outlets via Amazon, and the reviews on there
should I feel be taken with a pinch of salt. they say the packaging was
rubbish resulting in damaged cabinets and that the terminals were
pretty cheap but the sound was surprisingly good for under 100 quids.
Anyone heard of them, sounds made up name to me.

Dave Plowman said

A bit of googling on them doesn't look too promising. But then I'd not
expect much at that price anyway. You can get them on Ebay too.

It's an odd spec. A 6 1/2" bass unit, two 4" midrange and a 4" tweeter.
Almost like 'I have these speakers laying around and will use them' ;-)

If you want something not too big but with a clean easy style, have a
look around for a pair of Wharfedale Dentons. There's a pair on fleaby
for £45. I have a pair on top of the cupboard about 5ft away from me as
I type, and of all of the speakers that I have - and I have a few(!) -
they would probably be the lasr small ones I would part with. Main drive
unit is 8inch so they will shift air with relatively little power.

Also look at Wharfedale Diamonds or 30.2's, Tannoy M1, or any small
Mission or KEF. There's plenty around and you should be able to get a
pair for less than £50.

I have a pair of Kef Crestas in front of me, and they get used for
everything - including mixing. There are four pairs on Ebay right now
for under £40. They are by quite a long way my favourite small speaker.

Woody said

Bought a pair of those for my father maybe 25 years or so ago. My
daughter has them now and I would not disagree with the comment for a
second.

Mind you I like KEFs anyway - my main speakers are a pair of Q55's.
