![]() Corin Tucker's voice was planted dead center while it was a little too wishy-washy with the Shelfs.īut it was when used as a pair of surrounds that the Bookshelf truly shone. The Ones ensured the song had plenty of drive, especially during the last minute when the full band kicked in. The stereo Ones made Sleater Kinney's glitchy The Center Won't Hold more listenable than either the Symfonisk Bookshelf pair or even the Sonos Playbar. Sarah Tew/CNETĪs a stereo pair was simply superb (as I'd expect at $400 total for both speakers). As a background speaker it works great, and I could imagine bookshops or coffee shops gravitating toward the Shelf as a way to play music for their customers.Īs a stereo pair the Symfonisk wasn't as convincing as a single Sonos One. The midrange is expressive though a little ragged with brighter recordings, but it sounds better than a wireless speaker at this price should. ![]() The One has a slightly recessed midrange while the Symfonisk Bookshelf and Lamp are a little more open sounding, though less refined.Īs a single speaker I found that the Bookshelf is brighter than the One, and comparatively lacking in bass. The Symfonisk range offers its own sound that's similar to the excellent $200 Sonos One smart speaker, with a few differences. But once I did the Shelves blended right in. It took a little bit of tweaking in the Advanced Audio menu to get the blend between the sub, the bar and the rears right. ![]() I used the Bookshelves as a pair of rears for the Sonos Playbar and Sub combo first, and chose to use a manual setup followed by a Trueplay touch-up.
