Note: This is an unbiassed/unpaid review of the BA A26.
Purchase : I was in the market for a good pair of Bookshelf speakers which would give a good balanced sound. I listen to almost everything from Ghulam Ali to Tanita Tikaram to Eric Prydz.
Gave a couple of stores a visit. Most were cold to low budget systems and then landed at Sound By Design, Gurgaon. Met sid who was very helpful, understood my requirement and explained me the various parameters.
We had an audition of some very expensive systems and some very good budget systems.
Initial Audition : I got the system home and set it up with the Marantz PM5004. The initial sound was too sharp and wasn't the best. I was a little let down. Gave sid a call who told me to let them burn-in.
Also, they look very well built.
Long-Term Review :
Time : 6 Months
Sound : The sound has grown mind blowingly. The lows are much much better and the high range has been tuned further using the Marantz.
EDM drops go low and deep, and clear as crystal at even 30% of the volume.
The high's are good enough for my use, Rahman's Bombay sound track is clear and direct. The soundstage is well set for my use.
Source : Connected to my PC directly using the Marantz PM5004. A Teac CDP is on the way.
Price : Good under my budget. That's a secret
Overall : Extremely VFM and capable speakers. These are my definite pick for anybody looking for a good overall sound. I am a fan of the speakers and they have trained my ears very well.
Do not hesitate if you have any questions?
Thank you.
