System Audio SA505 Bookshelf speakers

The ideology of the company is aimed at achieving of "bigger sound without speaker systems". So, even the older floor model has the width only 18cm. The design of almost all models is minimalist; the body is rectangular with the same strict protective grill. The speakers are located so as the speaker system takes as less place as possible and looks well at the same time. 25mm tweeter with soft dome takes almost the half of the front panel. There is MF/LF-driver under it. A distinctive feature of the speakers, being used in the speaker systems of System Audio, is very light diffusers (2 times lighter than the used in usual drivers) of small sizes. Their distinctive feature is a very quick reaction. The bass reflex port is located on the back wall of the speaker system. The body is well finished by natural veneer and gives a very pleasant impression. The pair plays in collected, compact, correct manner. Bass in SA505 is shallow, well-decorated. Overall tonal balance is close to neutral. The speaker systems transfer the sound of acoustic music instruments very expressively: piano, strings, high percussion. Male and female vocals sound impressively. We noted the deficit of micro-dynamic details in low and middle cases; in high case the information is given more fully. The sound of the pair opens during listening at the middle volume level. Excessive brightness is found sometimes at considerable increase of signal level and at its peaks. The formed by the model music scene is very beautiful and clear; the sources are accurately and stably localized in its space. System Audio SA505 is a compact monitor speaker of a good class with clear and comfort sound.
