Good Points: Produce a rich, warm sound and the treble is really clear. Very good value for money

Bad Points: None at the moment.

General comments: The aural envelope EX300 are a really good pair of speakers, rated at 100w they can handle a surprisingly large amount of power and do not distort until high levels. With twin bass drivers the bass is tight and punchy while the soft dome tweeter ensures that the treble is clear and balanced. The sound is really clear and crisp, and they really are great value for money. they respond really well to a good amplifier and i would recommend something that is not too powerful, something that is around 60wpc. I use my set with a Sherwood amplifier giving out 130w rms and it sounds great. as another added convenience the speakers will work with both 4 and 8 ohm amplifiers and are bi-wire able using gold plated binding posts. I believe that they retailed at around 70 in richer sounds but i bought them second hand in a shop for just 55! in my case you really get a lot of speaker for your money and i would definitely recommend them to anyone who is on a budget and want a speaker that really performs well.

***UPDATE***

Just thought I would add a quick update on the Aural Envelope EX300 stereo speakers, having run them in and having tried them out for a while now with a wide range of music.

Having bi-wired them, I have to say that any difference is pretty small; maybe slightly clearer mid-range, but difficult to spot.

However, I was concerned by sibilance and clipping evident on a track by The Weekend Players, and decided to take the speakers to another room and try them next to my KEF Q30 ...

Having read the reviews here I thought it important to give a detailed review of the Aural Envelope EX300 stereo speakers for anyone considering buying them.

I bought these speakers sixth months ago, but I have only just received them as I have moved to New Zealand. I have several hi-fi's with a range of speakers from very large KEF floor-standers to bookshelf Missions. The Aural Envelope speakers are currently connected to a NAD amplifier and a fairly old Technics CD player (both shortly to ...

I have been using the Aural Envelope EX300 stereo speakers for two months, and I am very pleased with them.

The sound quality is comparable to speakers costing an awful lot more. I use them with a Nad310 and a Marantz CD-52, and the sound is awesome.

To the reviewer who thinks we are all working for Richer Sounds, all I have to say is he must be using inferior equipment, or it's not connected correctly. With these speakers you must have a quality system, and use quality interconnects and c ...

Bought my Aural Envelope EX300 from Richer Sounds to give my Yamaha amp some additional kick and was very impressed. Did the try before you buy demo in the shop and was amazed at the quality for such a price. Was looking for a set of budget floorstanders and got a lot more bangs for my buck. Looking to bi-wire when I have time, but have been really impressed and frankly blown away while watch Bourne Identity and Matrix Revolutions. Great sound, price for an awesome set of floorstanders. Do take ...

I was also worried about buying the Aural Envelope EX300 speakers as they were very cheap, however, they are very good. My old Kefs were feeling their age and these EX 300's are a different type of sound but to my taste. Plenty of umph!

I was shocked to read one reviewer describe the Aural Envelope EX300 speakers as 'awful'. It's possible this reviewer had a bad/faulty pair, or a set-up that didn't suit. I originally tried these using my small room set-up: Denon PMA 250 (30 wpc), and a half-decent Technics CD player. The sound was OK, but nothing special: the bass was a little hollow, and the treble lacked definition. However, I then set these up with my lounge amp (Cambridge Audio A5 [60 wpc]) which allowed me to bi-wire t ...

Amp used for testing the Aural Envelope EX300was a NAD 352 CT so there was definitely no sound quality loss!

Worth buying if they are reduced to about £40 - 50 I would say.

(ratings done as 5=average and what would be expected )

Can only imagine that the people who have already reviewed these Aural Envelope EX300 stereo speakers work for Richer Sounds and are trying to get rid of a job lot. These really are poor speakers, not just in sound, the connections around the back are as cheap and tacky as they come.

As most people would have, I hesitated over buying the Aural Envelope Speakers for such a low price from Richer Sounds. At this price, I assumed they would sound cheap and nasty, but that's not the case.
Used with an Eltax 5.1 amplifier and Gale Silver monitors as my rears, connected to my pc with a Sound Blaster Live sound card, they sound amazing. The twin bass drivers produce rumbling lows whilst the dome tweeters make crisp treble. Great buy for someone on a budget!!!

Was very dubious when purchasing from Richer Sounds for 69.99, but I was in dire need of new speakers. I could not find any information about them on the internet but decided to take the risk for the price. Teamed together with a shiny new Cambridge Audio A5 amp they really do surpass my expections. The Bass is punchy & clean & can be heard from from a great distance!! Was informed that Aural Envelope are on old established company that used to design high quality headphones. These are appar ...

Aural Envelope EX300 - Well I had my doubts when I brought these speakers from Richer Sounds for £69.99. But I have to say these speakers sound excellent, the mids and highs are detailed and the bass is awesome. I would recommend these speakers to anyone on a budget.
