Thonet & Vander KÜRBIS BT 2.0 Premium Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers | German Design | 340 Watts Extra Deep Bass (Black)

People looking for short answer - Its been a fantastic purchase; I would say perfect value for money.For a long one, read alongRequirement-I am no audiophile but sensitive enough for good music. I have been looking for a medium range music system with requirements like- clear tones (old songs, gazals and bollywood read Arjit)- No compromise on voice quality for high base- Not too high wattage as I stay in apartment, not required- Easy functions that my kid can also function- Not too keen on plugging TV output to it; Sony TVs provide decent output. But good to have, of course- Budget ~20k INRIn all, requirement was to not just tick in box piece but which makes me relish my time listening to it and whole family can enjoy.Background-Since this being a totally discretionary spend, it was never in my priority list but was looking out for something good for around 2 years. Visited Cromas, Vijays around my place multiple time when had some time to kill. I was interested to build further on Sony family and I my search always landed on something like NT GT 1 (remember the model no. now ;) ). Tested in Chroma, out put was huge and the size, but the clarity was loosing out on higher volumes. Well, time went by and after few months and some more search; only results were Sound bars and off late Boom boxes from LG and Sony. Even if I ignore the features being forced on my like, battery operated, led lights, carry wheels (really?) never liked the final out put and package in whole. Tested all, but liked none, even on slightly raised budget. Never wanted 5.1 sound bars(though some have really good output) as it would just clutter my place. Even on increased budget with complete wireless solution, I had to alter the living room settings plus movie watching was never an idea. So had to explain to salespersons all the time not to push for such solutions. Problem with plain soundbars, too huge for normal apartment size living rooms, also since I was okay with TV output, not much convinced on it. No salesperson had answers on my above requirements.In between, while scouting for review and audiophile websites, I came across book shelf speaker reviews which were convincing but there were no avenues to test one. Then landed on these beauties, searched along. Its being sold across the continents, even Amazon US has very decent reviews but over there people are mostly using it as desktop speakers. Further search showed these are having very crisp voice not killing bass and price was 14.8INR. I took the risk as Amazon has good return policy, I went for it. Though bazao website selling it in 500 INR less, I bought from Amazon due to return policy.Product-I am now using it for last 3 weeks and enjoyed every bit of it. Sound is very crisp, tones are clear, highs in vocals are all there. And bass, all new bollywood songs are sounding pretty good and best part, awesome performance is even in full volume. I dont keep volume more than 70% as might get complain from neighbors. There is always something new in the songs you have been listening all along, new beats, tone, vocals which were over the limit for the other speakers. Awesome connectivity feature, Bluetooth. As you power it on, it can be connected within 3 mins. Once you save it in your mobile, it connects as you switch on the speakers and phone Bluetooth. Who needs CD, USB drive inputs when we have apps like Savan, unlimited high quality music streaming. Speaker Installation took around 10 mins. Speaker has only 3 knobs, volume, treble and bass.Actually they are charging only for the output, and that was I wanted! Plus point had been, I could connect my TV in one go, plugged in to speaker out put of TV. But not using for TV having too much clarity listening to Times Now or TV18 doesn't make sense.I was never into hrs of listening music category but in last few weeks have been listening for hrs at stretch. Arjit sounding even better :)

This is the worst item I have ever bought . Complete loss of money . The woofer started to create noise after 4 months. I gave it to a local repair shop .They said its fixed and I gave them Rs.350 .But it was not . I being an engineer opened up the box and man ..what a cheap stuff they have in there . The worst PCB you will ever see . I dumped the entire item .Almost 5k lost as i bought this in an EMI scheme .

Fantastic sound quality. Bluetooth is very easy to connect. A must!

super sound..very nice bass..

Good audio quality, audio stage and all the instrument levels are discerningly loud enough at any volume level of listening. Bluetooth works fine and it has a co-ax input apart from the regular 3.5 mm jack which made me choose this(instead of swans m10).This had me re-visiting my entire audio collection once again, to listen to those 'hidden' sounds, haha. Movie dialogues are crystal clear.The only turn off is the manufacturer marketing the 'german technology' name a bit too much. It make me skeptical about these China made speakers, but the quality of sound put to rest all these apprehensions. The supplied co-ax cable didn't work.Bass heads, stay away.

This product does not work.The replaced model also not working.Very very poor quality stuff

Using these speakers from past 2 months. Actually i bought them from somewhere else (md computers) i saw no review so decided to give my expressions to help buying these speakers.My review involves comparison by my own speakers lg sound bar 4.1, jbl pebbles, yamaha yht299 and f&d 530u attached with different components. I bought these speakers for my father who usually listen 40-70 's old music featuring rafi sahib, mahendra kapoor , mana dey lata ji etci never thought to buy this pair for new gen music because of bass requirements.Once i received these speakers they feel very solid and quality build. German logo make me feel proud of buying these.First song 'awara hoon' played and father was happy to listen. Day by day they sounded better.After that i tried 'dillagi' by rahat sahib and i was amazed by response mid level and bass which i never expected from them.unbreak my heart by tony broxton blow me away !!Pros:Amazing sound quality not flat and every varying pitch can be felt. Very accurateBass is super when listen at above 40% volume. Accurate bass and very satisfying. i personally dont need subwoofer with them.vocals are veryclear (speakers like F&D miss vocals with subwoofer (eg listning to jagjit singh ji or diwani mastani song) make song worse.Premium looks and in person they look expensiveBLuetooth , aux and rca inputall wires included.3 year warrentyCons:No remote control switching between bluetooth and rca is done by switching them off and on. Single source users wont find this problemmids are however very good but for old songs i feel them little less(i like little extra mids)
