Accusound Speakers Signature Series Reference 8.5 Review

If you want to select some home theater speaker, this article will help you in some way with your selection. The speakers I am investigating are made by a company called Accusound Australia Pty Ltd, they are an Australian company and they make 5.1 or 7.1 surround speakers. I’m writing this review to share my experience with the quality and setup of these accusound speakers. Some of the points that I will cover are how good they look, also how good they sound, and how easy it is to set up the speakers.

The corresponding revision will be of the 8.5 loudspeakers of the reference 2009 model series of firms. These speakers consist of two front main speakers, two rear speakers, a center speaker, and a subwoofer, or a “low frequency effect” LFE, as my Yamaha RXV663 amplifier calls it. I was on a very tight budget, so these speakers were at a bargain price. Didn’t expect too much like performance from audiophiles. I was impressed by the manufacturers’ claim that all the speakers in this package were fully matched to tone. The front speakers are the main speakers. Each tower comes with 2 x 200mm bass drivers, it also comes with a 150mm midrange driver and a 25mm elliptical tweeter. the center speaker features 2x165mm drivers and also a 25mm elliptical soft dome tweeter that provides excellent bass response, plus clear vocals and crisp highs. the rear speakers have a 165mm woofer and a 25mm elliptical soft dome tweeter identical to the main one in the center speakers. The subwoofer is designed to use the 300mm long throw high-power subwoofer driver. It also has a built-in 200W amplifier with volume, phase and frequency adjustments, so these are the components that come in the system package. sound.

Before I get into the guts of unpacking and setting up my speakers, I want to mention the guys from Audio Australia They have the exclusive on the accusound speaker signature series. I was very impressed with the speed of communication from them, I fired a question via email and within hours I received a detailed response, I’m not sure about you, but it makes me feel more comfortable buying from these guys when I get that kind of quick response. .

These are one of the best deals for the price, although I wouldn’t classify myself as a hifi guru or audiophile, but I know what I like and I take some time to do similar product comparisons before parting ways with my hard earned cattle. . My Home Theater setup consisted of my 50-inch Panasonic Plasma and XBOX as my media center and DVD player, and a Yamaha RXV 663 receiver, and now the Accusound Reference 8.5 series. These speakers really look good, which means they don’t look cheap, I was impressed by the build quality of the cabinets, and the finish was very good overall. I should mention that the ones I bought indicated that they were damaged in the box and this was true as the subwoofer box had a big dent. Holding my breath, I pulled the sub out of the damaged box and did find a small dent in the cabinet. I was devastated for the first half hour and then I got over it. As for the speaker terminals, they were nice and big and would accept the now standard banana plug, the accusound wires I decided on were the 12 gauge ones.

Well, how do they sound? I don’t have a Blue Ray player yet (it’s on my list though), I called my son and asked him to come see my new 5.1 speakers and, by the way, bring his Playstation 3 and blue ray discs. Setting up the PS3 is very simple, just plug the HDMI cable into the amplifier and you’re done. We decided to check out Resident Evil 3 as this movie has the uncompressed audio and my Yamaha RXV 663 will happily decode it, we sat through the entire movie marveling at the added sound effects that we missed or didn’t hear before, the A Bit Where Alice pulls out. All Ravens was absolutely awesome, a great rumble from the subwoofer and the fronts themselves generated a good amount of bass effect and a great effect from the rear and center. The manual says that the speakers should burn out in time and in fact I have found this to be true, the sound seems to be a little richer, more when listening to music than movies. The fronts are capable of being bi-amped and my RXV643 is capable of this setting, but I haven’t been able to do this yet, but I will.

In conclusion, would you recommend it to someone else? Yes I would, and my son likes the sound of the accusound speakers and the price is great so he’s interested in getting a setup soon. You will get a good quality product at a really great price. I like to buy some strange device from time to time and I must say that these Signature Series Reference 8.5 speakers give me a fantastic bang for my buck, ask my neighbors.
