## Description

Quick Overview Dayton Audios signature affordable speakers get even better with AMT technology! The pleated ribbon diaphragm enhances the already famous sound quality of the original B652 with more smoothness and detail. Product Highlights Air Motion Technology tweeter provides audiophile-level treble clarity and smoothness 6-1/2" woofer in wooden enclosure provides rich, punchy bass Compact, unobtrusive design with exceptional performance and value Black ebony pica vinyl cabinet finish for a clean, modern appearance Removable acoustically-transparent cloth grill Product Manuals / Spec Sheets / Downloads Dayton Audio B652-AIR User ManualBuying Options Buy NowBuy Internationally Product Description Get the power and punch of the original awesomely-affordable B652 speakers with the added smoothness and detail of air motion technology! The B652-AIR speakers step up to a higher-quality AMT (air motion transformer) tweeter that uses a folded Kapton ribbon diaphragm to move more air with less effort and less distortion, for purer and more dimensional sound. Yet they retain the same compact dimensions of the original B652 speakers, plus the efficiency to deliver big sound without a huge amplifier. And theyre still awesomely affordable! In fact, the B652-AIR is the most affordable speaker using AMT technology. All the other features of the original B652 speaker are still present: a tight-sounding 6.5" woofer in an optimally-damped sealed wooden enclosure for well-defined bass, an included keyhole hanger bracket, quick-connect terminals, non-marking rubber feet, and a removable fabric grille that doesnt get in the way of the improved sound. Weve even included the speaker cables! Compatible with receivers that support 4-8 ohm speakers.

Review: Great quality, great value, though you might want an EQ to counter a midrange bump - I've been working with consumer and professional audio equipment for my entire life, so even though I only just received and set these speakers up in my living room tonight, I've already played a few songs, and HOLY CRAP were they a good investment! A little background here: for the past 17 years, I've been using a pair of Realistic Minimus 25's that my father gave me when I moved out to go to college. I'm not sure when he bought them, but I remember them being our main living room stereo speakers from at least the very early 90's. I've looked the 25's up, and the year I see mentioned most consistently is 1985, so they could very well be as old as I am. They still work! Don't get me wrong, I'm not abandoning them. I have plans for them. But I'm overhauling my home studio setup, and I wanted something that put out a more full sound. The one place the 25's are lacking is bass. They have 4.5-inch woofers and handle 25 watts RMS at 8 ohms, so I had to have the bass knob on my 2001 KLH amp (which is also getting replaced) turned up to 3 o'clock. The 652's have 6.5-inch woofers and handle 30 watts RMS at 8 ohms, so while the power handling is comparable, the bass response is MUCH more powerful! I swapped the 25's out for the 652's without making any changes, even though I knew they would be different. I actually had to TURN DOWN THE BASS, and you will almost NEVER hear me say that, EVER! When you're sitting right between a pair of what are essentially near-field monitors and the bass is too muddy instead of too hollow, that's a big change! The funny thing is, if you read some of the reviews here on desertcart, there are several people who complain that the bass from these 652's is weak. I knew these people had to be wrong, because... well, let's face it, it's desertcart; most of the reviewers have no clue what they're doing with audio equipment. But even despite that, I was going into this expecting that they WOULD be somewhat anemic on the low end. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they perform even better than I expected! The key -- as with any pair of stereo speakers -- is proper placement. You need a wall behind them to reflect the low frequencies back out from the rear of the cabinets, and you need to aim them to properly set the stereo field for where you'll be listening most often. Do that, and and you'll find that these babies push MORE than enough bass. You won't get Sensurround-style lows out of them (boy, am I dating myself with that reference or what?), but you won't be disappointed. The one issue I *do* find with them, however, is that there seems to be a bump in the high midrange that's a bit harsh, particularly on female vocals. They're definitely not flat like the 25's are. I get the feeling it's caused by the crossover in the speakers. These come with Dayton Audio's AMT tweeters (basically a pleated ribbon), which cover a wider upper band than traditional tweeters, allowing the woofer to focus more on the mids and lows, and requiring less power for the same SPL. That's probably boosting the gain in those frequencies. I can't rein it in on the KLH because that just has a basic pair of "bass" and "treble" knobs, but I have a 15-band graphic EQ on the way to pair up with the new amp (which is just an amp, nothing more), so it shouldn't take much to find the trouble frequencies and dial them down a bit once that arrives. You may want to do the same. Otherwise, those AMT's really sing! The highs are airy, not harsh... dynamic, not crushed... very pleasant to listen to! All in all, I'm glad I bought them! For $55, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better pair of brand new bookshelf speakers.
Review: A true GIANT KILLER of a speaker! High-end sonics 'on the cheap'! AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter is MAGIC! - WOW WOW WOW! I am 'blown away' by the sound of these B652-AIR's! I've been an audiophile since the 70's, when I discovered great sound via my father's vintage early 60's FISHER 500C stereo receiver, running the original German Telefunken tubes. Since then, i've had McIntosh, Onkyo Grand Integra, Rogue Audio, California Audio Labs, early Polk Audio, Magnepan, and JBL (horn loaded speakers), just to name a few of my favorite brands. I ordered these Daytons, because I wanted a cheap pair of halfway decent speakers for my garage setup, using a FiiO X1 music player as my source (with WMA lossless files). Being that it is still February and frigid outside (and in my non-heated garage), I couldn't wait until Spring to try these out. So I hooked them up on a large dresser in my bedroom (grilles off, just inches from the wall), using the FiiO X1 as my music source. I tried both a classic Pioneer SX-780 vintage stereo receiver, as well as a Qinpu A-6000 MKII tubed hybrid integrated amp during different listening sessions. To say I was floored by what I was hearing is an understatement! Even right out of the box, these speakers SING! After some hours of 'break-in', their sonics belie their small price and small size! They sound natural, detailed, airy, and well-paced! I thought I was listening to a pair of $1000 dollar monitors! I fed them Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Mozart, Debussy, Steely Dan, The October Project, 60's through 80's pop/rock, Synthpop, Techno, Motown, Neo-Flamenco, and a lot of other stuff, and they performed admirably, even at a healthy volume! These speakers image and project very well, and sound very musical! Honestly, I have not had this much fun auditioning a pair of speakers than when I brought home a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 10's, back in 1986! 30 years later, I still have that pair of great speakers, and i'm sure i'll still have this pair of Daytons in 2046 (if i'm still around, that is)!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much watt total?**
A: All of the other answers here are a bit misleading -- not by intent, but because the documentation is not quite user-friendly.  Here's the deal: watts aren't the only thing that matter in the specs.  You also have to consider the resistance in ohms.  The higher that resistance gets, the more power it takes to drive the speakers.  Most home audio amplifiers and speakers operate with (and assume) a total of 8 ohms of resistance per speaker cabinet, so when you're looking at a 100-watt per channel amplifier, it's assuming that it will take 100 watts to drive your speakers to full volume with a resistance of 8 ohms pushing back against the amplifier.

Now here's the problem: the documentation for these speakers lists 40 watts RMS and 75 watts peak at *6* ohms, which nobody here is translating into the 8 ohm standard.

Luckily, we have a couple of mathematical equations to figure out the difference.  I'll do peak first, since that's the power level you don't want to go over.  First, we have to determine the voltage for a baseline.  We need three numbers for this: the wattage (P, for "power"), the resistance (R), and the voltage (V).  Ohms Law states that the voltage (V) is equal to the square root of the wattage (P) times the resistance (R), so our equation is V=√(PxR).  In this case, we know that  P=75 and R=6.  75x6=450.  The square root of 450 is roughly 21.2, so that WOULD be our voltage for the next step, but we don't actually need it, because we're just going to be squaring it again anyway.

Now we have to reverse-engineer that with the voltage as a baseline to determine the wattage at 8 ohms resistance.  The equation here is P=V²/R.  We already know that our V² is going to give us 450, and in this case, R=8.  450/8=56.25.

So we now know that these speakers will handle 56.25 watts peak at 8 ohms.  Let's just call it 55 watts to be safe and give it a nice, round number.

Now we just plug the documented 40 watts RMS into the same equations.  40x6=240.  √240=15.49, therefore V=15.49.  But again, we don't really need that, because we can just plug the 240 into the next equation.  240/8=30.

So we now know that these speakers will handle 30 watts RMS at 8 ohms.

Sure, there are online calculators out there that could do all this math for you, but where's the fun in that?

**Q: how manny watts is it**

So we now know that these speakers will handle 30 watts RMS at 8 ohms.

Sure, there are online calculators out there that could do all this math for you, but where's the fun in that?

**Q: How much does one speaker weigh?**
A: About 5 to 6 pounds.

**Q: Will they work with a dayton audio hta20bt?**
A: According to the reviews on the main distributer's website they will work. These are great speakers but note: there are newer versions of this speaker with more refined crossovers. You may get better results for just a little more money.
