BIC America Venturi Series DV-64 Tower Speaker
on June 10, 2011
Posted by: lanjagg
from Oklahoma City, OK
I have owned my pair of DV-64s for close to 3 years now. When a company doesn't change the design of a speaker for multiple years like this—it's usually a good indication of quality: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
BIC America has 30 years of experience under their belt & seems to have found the perfect balance of quality components & price. The unique driver configuration in the DV-64 is undoubtedly the first thing that catches your eye. Some may think that four 6.5" drivers are overkill. Actually, only two of the drivers are actively powered while the other two act as passive bass radiators. This eliminated the need for a port, leaving the enclosure completely air tight. The advantage of this design is that the passive radiators help ensure extra bass extension which you will find undoubtedly true. The .75" soft dome tweeter is more than proficient at recreating a range of high-frequency effects including rich vocals.
Aesthetically speaking, the DV-64s are large & somewhat clunky like most speakers were 20-years ago. The aren't overtly massive but I would definitely consult the Misses before parading them into the living room unannounced. You really must see these guys for yourself & get a close look at the smooth black varnish & feel the solid build quality before you make your decision. If you're lucky you will be able to listen to them on the floor. If you do, you'll understand how large speaker components & a bulky enclosure directly affect sound quality.
What's great about it: Extremely solid build, beautiful sound, wicked price
What's not so great: Larger than your average speaker, no midrage driver
I would recommend this to a friend!

Where are a pair of cheap speakers to use for my tv?
I would like to buy a pair of cheap speakers for my new television. The speakers it has sound bad.
One of the best values in all of speakers is actually right here at Best Buy. The Insignia NS-B2111 bookshelf speakers are out of this world. Don't take my word for it though, read the 74 glowing reviews. Can't go wrong at $83 for the price either. You can pair these with an inexpensive Insignia stereo receiver (like the NS-R2000) for only $112.
So in conclusion, you can spend a total of $195 and dramatically increase the sound quality of your entertainment center. Good luck!
