Overview
Not a soundbar or a bookshelf speaker, the Dayton Audio Classic is a full-size tower pair that raises the silk dome tweeter to ear level. Twin poly woofers work with a bass reflex cabinet, and real crossovers split the signal between drivers.
Full-range sound from a narrow footprint is the reason to buy, since tall cabinets give the woofers volume without taking much floor space. Gold-plated binding posts accept banana plugs. The limit is missing impedance and sensitivity figures for matching an amplifier.
Who it's for
First-time hi-fi builders and movie fans with a receiver get a pair of towers that fill a room without stands. People wanting wireless or self-powered speakers should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Tweeter placed at ear level
- Twin woofers per cabinet
- Silk dome tweeter for smooth treble
- Real crossover networks
- Impedance not listed
- Tall cabinets dominate a small room
- Plastic or polymer enclosure listed
- Requires an amplifier or receiver
Performance notes
Bass output comes from two woofers working with the reflex port in a tall cabinet, so distance from walls changes the low end. The silk dome tweeter softens upper treble, and its ear-level height helps imaging when seated. Crossovers send each frequency range to the right driver, which helps the sound stay clear at volume.
