I was on ebay Saturday afternoon & came across these speakers, checked seller feedback & it
came back good, so I decided to do a little more digging via Google.
I came up with the website I read all the customer reviews & COULD NOT
find one negative comment any where relating to price, quality, sound & customer service. Now, I
don't if the reviews were made up by professional review ? writers or not, but to say the least, I'm
intrigued & impressed by what I saw & read. These speakers can be 1 of 2 things, either a very
well orchestrated scam, or a very good product from a young & upcoming company; myself, I'm
choosing to belive a very good product.
I'm wondering & asking if anyone here at the forum has used these speakers or has any
additional info or comments they may want to share.
The system I've got my eyes on that I really like is the HT335.
All comments welcome & appreciated.
Yeah I know I hope they are to. I have a rc guy I talk to that has a set of their 808's and says they're great but we will see tomorrow for sure. Right now I have decent speakers but they are mismatched and old so I figured it was time for a update.
I had some cheap KLH tower speakers for some time on my two channel system. I think what you will find is cheap crossovers and poor box design when playing music with some decent bass apply pressure to the sides of the speaker I have a feeling there will be a fair bit of flex as the walls will be quite thin.
That is one of my worries as well but I hope not. Hopefully they're just a young company trying to get their name out. They are supposedly made out of good quality materials from non affiliated sites with good crossovers and extra insulation inside the boxes.
They are sure to state their speaker cabinets are made of "100% MDF wood" and have been "reinforced internally." However, MDF comes in several thicknesses and differing quality and a few token braces won't get the job done. If the cabinets are not at least 3/4" thick and adequately braced they can contribute to poor performance.
I'd send them back and get in B-stock from dmc-electronics a pair of PSB Image B25s, a pair of PSB Image B15s and a PSB Image C40 for $777. The sound of this system is sure to blow away these Streem Johnny-come-lately, unknown and largely discounted by the audio world, wannabees.
Ok guys got my speakers today and to say the least they are not cheaply made at all. It took 30 minutes just to get them out of the boxes. Plus it took me and my wife to get the towers out. The packaging part on there site is no joke. They were in two boxes each with foam on all the corners and down the sides. Cardboard inserts where there wasn't foam and foam in between the two boxes. Then the finish is darker than what is on there page which I was happy about. So far the sound is great I did pull the speakers out of the center one rear and one tower, again no cutting corners very nice build quality. I can't wait till tomorrow to crank em up I hate the break in period lol. So far they sound as good if not better then the Polk setup and the Infinity setup I was looking at for about half the price. I would highly recommend these any time any where. I 'll post again tomorrow after I crank them up and do a better review.
To summarize: "Normal production unit-to-unit driver spec variances can affect final amplitude response of a system to a larger degree than that expected from normal pre- post-burn in driver suspension compliance changes." In other words, you'll see a larger difference between drivers due to production run variances than you will as a result of burn in.
There are all sorts of theories about why folks think they hear a difference after a speaker is broken in, but this and other sources where there has been an objective measurement indicates it's not because of a measureable audible change in the speakers. I know this is almost as controversial as the speaker wire debate.
The sound didn't really change but as the drivers loosened up they got progressively louder. I will never buy another brand so long as these are on the market they are absolutely amazing. I'm about to crank em up I've had em running for a day now so that should be good enough for a break in huh?
these things only get better the louder they get. High's are clear but not piercing the mids are the perfect fit and the lows are room filling to say the least. I couldn't have asked for better speakers for anywhere near the price. They easily out perform the Infinity and Polk setups I was looking at with plenty left to go.
What is the weight of those speakers, That will say allot about how well they are built. The website says they weigh 48lbs each thats not very heavy for tower speakers with that many drivers. My Missions weight 105lbs each.
Yeah the ups site said 54lbs but that had to be for one tower. My daughter weighs 86lbs and one tower was just under her as far as weight goes. The center and rears aren't to bad but they are still heavy. If I were to guess I'd say no less then 57lbs per tower. My back hurts from carrying them in and I used to load trucks for Haverty's so if that tells you anything.
Me to and they definitely sound amazing for now. They've got a 5 yr warranty if something does go bad so that's nice. And I finally got cranked up and man they really stand out.
Good to hear a positive reaction to your new setup! I've been thinking of getting a couple speakers for my bedroom for a little while, and it's looking like I might just be another willing guinea pig in the Streem market that's taking root right now. I used to be a dealer for Madison Speakers, which is a small pro audio company that made some quality stuff for cheap, so I could just have a soft spot for small upstarts, but I'll be happy to jump on the boat and let you guys know what I think as well if I get some. Prolly looking at 1 or 2 weeks (selling my Bose 301s first, instead of using them for kindling.. I figure there's more money in selling them than utilizing their potential heating energy, though the paper-thin walls would sure make a nice little fireball :rofl: ) so I'll keep y'all posted on how they do
Lol yeah I sold my Bose 201 speakers after getting the Streems. I had those for the rears, a Sony junker for a center, a set of Fishers, and Kenwoods for my fronts. These blow away both sets of fronts with just the 2 towers and the others are just amazing. I sold the old setup to my neighbor for $30 so that made his day lol.
Lol yup, I pretty much got the 301s to help a friend out, I haven't even used them other than to hear enough for a proper complaint I'll be able to give a decent comparison for the Streems anyways- I have some Klipsch RF-5s in the theater, and while I don't expect the Streems to do anything of that quality, it will at least give a good reference point to rate them against for anyone else looking
Klipsch has really sharp highs for me to and these are clear and smooth but personal preference is why we have so many choices right?
