Hi!
I just purchased this kind of a Sony CMT-X3CD for our kitchen: Wireless Hi-Fi Audio System for Home | CMT-X3CD | Sony AU
It's quite good looking, small enough, and has FM radio, CD, USB & bluetooth, so feature wise it's quite OK cheap "system" for a for kitchen. There aren't many other options on this size & price level anyway. But the problem is that it's sound quality actually quite bad; mids & highs are harsh and there isn't even a hint of the basses. So naturally I opened it, and noticed that I could quite easily fit some 2.5" full range drivers to replace the 2" original Sony's.
So my questions are;
- Do you think that I could get a bit better sound and even a hint of basses with some good quality fullrange drivers from it?
- If yes, which 8ohm 2.5" drivers would you recommend? Since it's just for background music & radio programs, I prefer musicality and easy-to-listen over analytical sound, and basses over high range details.
Few possible choices I already found are:
- FRS 7 S - 8 Ohm
- Data sheet - 830984 | Loudspeaker freaks
- Datasheet - ND65-8 | Loudspeaker freaks
All hints are highly appreciated! :=)
