SDAT HD380 400-watt Floor Standing Speaker (Pair)

I received my SDAT speakers and am very surprised by the sound quality. The sound is clean, rich, full and distortion free. They seem to have a nice balance of highs, mids, and lows. My speakers are connected to an Onkyo receiver. The rest of my equipement (TV, CD/DVD player, etc) is Samsung. If you are looking for good sound quality at a very affordable price, this is the speaker for you. However, there are a couple other things to note. When my package arrived, the exterior box was in moderate condition. I was concerned about what I would find when I opened the package. To my surprise, there was more than sufficient interior packaging to protect the product. One speaker had a slight nick on the front. This did not appear to be related to the shipping process. I think it left the manufacturer this condition. However, I was able to buff out the nick and match the color with a stain pen. It only took a few minutes to make this minor cosmetic repair. I don't think anyone would notice, even if I pointed it out. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. It does include speaker cable and connection is very easy. You will need a wire stripper/cutter to prepare your wire for connection. I am considering a second set of speakers and an amplifier to provide a better surround sound experience. With respect to the appearance of these speakers, the photo on the website is insufficient. They look much better in person.

Bought these for my small family room set up and was not expecting too much but I was very pleasantly surprised. The sound reproduction is very good and reasonable bass response considering the size of the drivers. The mid range response is remarkably good and reproduces voice and guitars perfectly. Simply, for the price you can not do better, in fact you would pay much more for speakers that do not perform as well as these with most name brands. Only flaw is the grills, the cord design seems cool but is not functional or durable at all. Still recommend these highly.

Factory packaging was inadequate, O'stock's shell doesn't address the issue, as a result the speakers were able to bounce off each other in transit, resulting in some noticeable damage on the back half of one the top corners, but you have to look for it so it's not worth the hassle of returning or making an insurance claim. I did address the issue with SDAT in regards to the realities of UPS ground rugby. Out of the box, these speakers are substantially darker in finish than pictured, a dark brown bordering on black. And the drivers are silver, not white. I actually like the look better. The 6.5" drivers are a stiff paper cone (painted silver) of average construction and quality, the tweeter is a 1" fabric dome. The enclosure is combination air suspension/ported design with one woofer in the sealed portion, the other in the ported, with respective bandpass and lo pass crossover points. As expected the enclosure is cheaply made, 3/8" particle board with "shelf paper" veneer. The grill is neat though, elastic cord stretched between stringers, purely cosmetic, but cool looking. Despite the cheap construction, it doesn't look cheap, over all it's something I like having in my living for the holidays just because of the way they look. Down to sound., one would expect a somewhat boomy sound in the 100Hz range with not much seat of the pants presence, surpringly the bass is smooth and clean with a distinct lack of resonance at any frequency and at the proper listening distance, there's a very satisfying low end capability. Overall this a very clean, pleasantly smooth sounding speaker for a small to medium room with enough punch for people not looking to suffer hearing loss.

I am a Audio/Video Engineer. I have designed and built Pro-Audio & Video systems for over 15 years... I ordered 2 sets of these speakers. I hooked them up and was totally taken back at the frequecny response and sound depth that came from them. I Also read all the reviews on this site.... I must have lucked out, my speakers were in excellent condition and worked beyond my expectations. Thanks Overstock.
