    I have had my set for 6 years now, along with another pair of acoustic floor-standers which are "power house 2000 series" much larger than "av1" series and just as good value 4 money. i run these together with two of acoustics mini subs with a denon pma-255 uk amp.Sound comes from Cambridge audio separates cd player and modified x-box 360 ltd edition, witch sounds great!. i make my own tunes with music software, so i sometimes plug the laptop in 2 the amp and hey presto recording studio! i have ...

    had these Acoustic Solutions AV120 speakers for six years and just like new. i paid 50 pounds from comet. They still are taking a pounding from my drum and bass collection - very cheap but well built great sound.

    Overall i am very happy with my pair of acoustics and they have really proven to be tough old gals as well!! i recommend them for the starter enthusiast who is looking to upgrade from a packaged speaker set with an AV amp!!
    These speakers are very good value for money, i paid £50 for the pair about 4 years ago! I do run some quality gale speaker cable though and it does make a difference! Overall i am very happy with my pair of acoustics and they have really proven to be tough old gals a ...

    I too run the 5.1 set up of these speakers and use them with the Yamaha sub that came with my old Yamaha RX-V396rds amp, I have only got praise for these speakers- I binned the small speakers that came with the amp as they lacked midrange and bought these frm Currys as they were brand new and clearance boxed stock-Wow when they settled in after around 2 weeks, I was so impressed! The bass is kicking even with the sub off line and the treble and midrange are tight and cut through the bass for gre ...

    Just got a mint pair of Acoustic Solutions AV120 for 12 quid, yes that 12 British Pounds. They have a solid sound, although the bass can boom with cab resonance, and I think they can't be properly designed reflex speakers with a reflex baffle and tuned tube and port. Probably just a hole in the back. Mids are a bit harsh, and the freq separation is a bit ho hum. They have a generally good sound, actually, think beefed up and slightly tighter midi system speakers and you are there. OK the last fl ...

    I have used these speakers for about a year, I have now given them away and gone back to my rogers which I enjoy for hours on end.

    I have had a pair of these AV120 speakers for about 6 years. I still have them! Don't get me wrong my home cinema kit isn't brilliant, I have a Sherwood amp and Celestion surrounds. These speakers kick some butt for the dosh. I have a reasonable sized lounge: 15 ft square, unless you want to annoy the neighbours I don't think you need a sub with these. The bass is loud and sounds good across wood flooring. I would recommend these to any student or lower budgeted sound listener.

    Go on, buy som ...

    If you are skint , look no further. They are medium efficiency, so 30 watt per channel amps are minimum required to be able to crank up the volume without clipping.
    Use a good front end and amp however and they perform way beyond the price on most music. Used this way they are a good choice for someone who has bought a high quality CD player, a good turntable ( yes vinyl still lives), with a mid to high end amp and run out of money. These will do fine until better speakers can be afforded.
    Jus ...

    When I saw these Acoustic Solutions AV120 stereo speakers over a year and a half ago for £50 in Currys they immediately caught my eye, mainly because I didn't think they would sell floorstanders in Currys!

    I thought I'd give them a go anyway, I figured even if they were rubbish it's not too much money to loose out on.

    To my amazement when I got them home and hooked them up to my amp (which was then a Sony TAFE 570) they really surprised me. The bass was punchy and loud, perfectly co ...

    The Acoustic Solutions AV120 Stereo speakers perform well in the high and middle ranges, but the base is confused, with some irritating resonances and I am sure develops marked non-linearities at higher volumes. Never really creates a convincing base image. OK for some classical music but lousy for indie pop.

    Yes there are better out there, but not for this money, the Acoustic Solutions AV120 are £49.99 at currys so I took a chance, ended up £39.99 at the check out.
    Got them home hooked them up to a Dennon DCD 825 CD
    Musical Fidelity Elektra E11 amp with a pair of Audio Henly Interconneccts, I know this is 4-5 year old kit, All I can say is after running in, is they kept up with Female Vocals, Said bring it on to Lenny Kravits, and kept up with Hard house& Psy Trance, Have not checked ...

    I have recently acquired a pair of the Acoustic Solutions AV120 Mk2 Stereo Speakers. I don't listen to drum n bass or hip hop - I'm much to old, so can't gauge their response to the low frequencies and wide range dynamics of these music types. I do listen to a good deal of choral, orchestral and early music and have to say the problems with the mid-range and treble that were reported with the Mk1's have simply not been there. I'm not sure what changes have been made, but these speakers ring out ...

    These Acoustic Solutions AV120 speakers despite what people say are fantastic! if you couple them with a good amp....
    i used to use them with a Technics amp, and they were terrible to be fair, and i was very disappointed with them. But then i bought myself a new Behringer 2x250W amp. Although the ampage is over the recommended limit, the impedance is matched. The sound quality is seriously good when coupled with a good amp and some of the gold cabling i use. adding to midrange via the amp/mixer ...

    I bought these Acoustic Solutions AV120 Speakers at Richer Sounds for £70 in Beech on the advice of the salesman who told me that they were the best speakers they had in for under £100. Whilst the bottom end is nicely round, the mid-range frequencies seem to dominate, which isn't necessarily a problem if you retain instrument separation which, unfortunately, these don't. Played "Never Mind the B******s" through them and the poke was minimal. However, I agree that folky/acoustic stuff ...

    Such varied reviews of the Acoustic Solutions AV120!

    Everyone has individual tastes, I suppose.

    It's unlikely that there are irregularities with the manufacturing process with better or worse components being used on different batches.

    Personally, I like a bargain (don't we all?) and I usually research to get the best value (but not just the cheapest) gear.

    I've been curious that speakers have generally followed the fashion of becoming smaller in design. The 'Hi-Fi salespeople' tell ...
