Flat Panels for the Bedroom


This was a bit of an unusual find. We have recently renovated the bedroom and were looking for a bit of a stereo setup to finish it off. I stumbled across the speakers from this TDK NX03CD on 'quit' (ie they need to get rid of it) at Myer. The main unit had been stolen (not that it's much use for anyone because the main unit is powered by the subwoofer) and left all the cables and speakers behind. The setup is basically a 6.5" woofer teamed with 2 NXT panels and for $29 I thought it was well worth entertaining as a set of speakers.

All in all I was fairly impressed with the sound. They not exactly anything to replace the Wharfedales in the main setup but they produce a fairly clear (although a little bass heavy... and no the subwoofer doesn't have an adjustment) presentation. They don't have the best separation but overall the vocals are strong and clear.

Now I'm just in search of the best way to drive the units (which is currently hooked to a PC)
