CHANE MUSIC & CINEMA

I’ve owned speakers from many different brands (Emotiva, Goldenear, JBL, Infinity, Monolith, Magnat to name a few) and these are unquestionably the best. The treble is detailed, refined and resolving, yet very smooth. Absolutely no listening fatigue. The midrange is very present with voices sounding full and natural. The bass is tight and authoritative yet has tone and nuance.

The way this speaker projects sound is amazing; it’s holographic and enveloping. These are my living room speakers in a 2.1 setup. People frequently question if we have surround sound because of the speakers ability to place sounds throughout the room.

These speakers are a pleasure to listen to.

VERY neutral. I'm used to horn loaded, in your face treble. While not recessed by any means, the L3 play more like "as it was intended" I think. No false bumps in treble, bass etc.

SOOOOOO smooth, yet superb clarity. Every sound they play is perfectly audible and clear, but not "sterile". They just sound expensive.

I have owned this speakers for about 7 months and use them primarily for Home Theater purposes (at least once a day), they are connected to a 2018 Denon-X3500H Receiver which is connect to a LG-OLED C8 (2018 version). I do not use a SubWoofer (in an apartment, would be too loud), and use 4 rear speakers (small energy satellite speakers), I use the Chane 1.5's as my Left and Right. I very much enjoy this setup, the sound is clear and detailed. The only speakers I have owned/own that I can compare these to are the Energy's, a pair of Sony Core speakers, HTD Level 3 bookshelf, Polk S-15 bookshelf, and Polk LSIM Center Speaker. I personally think these are better all-around speakers, delivering just enough bass, highs, and clarity in dialogue.

I personally think these are better all-around speakers, delivering just enough bass, highs, and clarity in dialogue. If anything I think they can be improved when I add a sub to my set, but that will have to wait. I also sometimes want a little more higher highs, but I know that can be fatiguing. Overall I highly recommend :)

I've had mine for around six months now and I've been loving them. They're a pleasure to listen to. The clarity is night and day over my old JBLs.

I have had these speakers for over a month and have given it plenty of time/hours to break in. I watch tv/movies about 90% of the time with these and they perform phenomenally. I also use a 2.4 Center and 1.5's as the rear surrounds. All together this system never ceases to amaze me and makes watching movies very enjoyable. I use this system in a room that is roughly 17ft by 15ft with no sound dampening, but I believe the Denon audio adjustment (Audyssey) formats the speakers well for my space. The Denon is a 3400H. They are also gorgeous speakers and can be placed close to or far away from a wall for aesthetic reasons. However I will note that they do sound a bit better at least a foot or two from a wall. I have only compared these to JBL 530 and HTD Level 3, the Chane's in my opinion are a better speaker suited to my taste.

Absolutely incredible sound at any price. And for this price, these are an absolute steal. They sound so good, the highs have amazing clarity, the bass is so good, you could easily get away without adding a dedicated sub woofer. I have the 2.4's as a center, which is equally as good. I have used the center with an incredible front stage with movies and netflix. We also have Hulu TV, which broadcasts many shows and movies in 2 channel. The A 5.5s work so darn well in that regard, you could easily convince me that the center was functioning. Bottom line, I agonized over what brand to go with, the more you read, the harder the decision becomes. I'm writing this not to just endorse Chane, but to help those out who have endless debates with themselves on what speakers to buy that will give them the best sound. Save yourself the headache and stress and just buy these!

I've had the chance to live with these for about 3 weeks now and they live up to everything you will have read on the forums and in this (soon to be many) reviews. The tweeter is something very special. Even with my modest AVR amp these speakers are amazing. The tweeters create a transparent soundstage and the detail is so rich. They woofers are incredible at full range I was astounded at the presentation of the lows. The mids are very accurate, punchy when asked and speedy when required. I've listened to all kinds of music on these (main focus), however, they are so good, so crystal clear and so transparent that I think they are going to end up in the home theater. Did I mention they play loud and clear? I've got them in a 7000 cubic foot room and with this puny 125w AVR amp they play very loud. I did pair these up with an amp to hear them sing and boy do they deliver. These will not distort. These will obey the source.

I was surprised to learn that Chane resides about 1 hour away from me in Tampa, Florida. I am pretty blown away by my experience with the A2.4. I had read quite a few glowing reviews, so I had anticipated that it would at least be good, but it has exceeded all expectations. I would definitely describe the sound as "neutral" but I don't believe that means it lacks personality. Rather, I believe it is playing things the way they should sound in crystal clear quality. To me "neutral" can mean "flat" or "uninspiring" but that is not the case here. The A2.4 is just playing things the way they should sound. I can hear tiny, minutiae details like bacon or butter sizzling in a pan while watching cooking shows. Or watching Blue Planet II and hearing every single movement of the fish in the water, creating an ultra realistic environment that feels as though you are there.

I am so impressed with the A2.4 that I will undoubtedly be purchasing the A1.4's sometime in the near future. Jon is also a nice guy that I've had the pleasure of talking to on various fronts. I appreciate the attentiveness

A very, very good speaker to begin with compared to my E*** Debut 6.0 but it still need more hours to break in. But I have no doubt that these speakers will be a awesome sounding speakers. Presently, I am not thinking of returning them because I already like them even if they still needs more hours of playing music before reaching full potential. I might purchase 1 more A2.4 for the center to make LCR combo.

I am very pleased with my Chane A2.4 speakers. I am using them as LCR, primarily TV and movies with occasional music play. They replaced E*** Debut 2.0 B6.2's and a C6.2. To my ears the Chane's are cleaner, more crisp and detailed. Dialogue was often difficult for me to hear with the E***'s unless I turned the volume up significantly higher than I otherwise would have it. I am noticing that with the Chane A2.4's the volume level setting is typically 4-5db lower and I understand the dialogue perfectly. For music listening it is more of the same, the E*** MAY reach a touch lower frequency but the Chane sound is much clearer. I use a 15" Rythmik subwoofer with them (I also used with the E***'s.) so i am not concerned about the lower end frequencies. For me and my purposes, the A2.4's are a perfect fit. I am hoping the L3-6-7 arrive soon... There is a good chance I will be buying them too!

I purchased a pair of A5.4s as part of a total 5.0 Chane upgrade. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The A5.4s suit my needs perfectly; a mix of home theater and music/gaming in a very large, open space (~4800 cubic feet). I use them as my mains (L/R), coupled with a Chane A2.4 center speaker and Chane A1.5s as surrounds. All by themselves, the A5.4s are more than capable of filling the entire space at modest volume levels and they are highly efficient. Moreover, my 100 wpc Onkyo TX-RZ620 AVR is fully capable of powering them to ridiculous volumes with no signs of strain.

If I were forced to choose one word to describe these speakers, it would be musicality. Or clarity. Or quality. It is difficult to narrow it down to a single word!

For music, I routinely listen to the A5.4s in 2.0 stereo. These speakers come to life after a brief break-in period and when utilized with modest electronic equalization (standard parabolic EQ, with a slight midrange boost in addition). With a 5-8 dB bass boost, I have been fooled many times into thinking my subwoofer was on, when in fact the A5.4s were filling the room with clean bass, coupled with an impressive amount of TR (tactile response, i.e. bass you feel in your chair or chest). That three 5.25” woofers supply this much bass is impressive and speaks volumes about the XBL2 technology - the high excursion level of the woofers is a sight to behold and would be difficult to convey adequately on paper. The planar leaf tweeter is stellar and adds a level of clarity that I’ve not heard before.

Perhaps the biggest compliment I can give the A5.4s is that they have me listening to music on my system more frequently than ever before…and listening to different genres than I usually do. Sound and Stage, Smooth Jazz, Soundscapes (New Age), and other Xfinity Music Choice channels have become favorites. My new favorite activity is to sit in my recliner listening to music on the A5.4s, regardless of genre.

Needless to say, the A5.4s also excel in home theater applications - powerful and dynamic. Coupled with the A2.4 center, dialogue is now crystal clear. Subtitles and closed captioning are things of the past.

These speakers are clear but not “bright.” I experience no listening fatigue after listening at high volumes for hours on end. If I have one complaint about the A5.4s, it's this: they make my budget, one-note subwoofer sound slow and lazy, and demand a considerable sub upgrade!

There has been a ton of hype for these speakers and I am very sad to say it, but ... they totally live up to it. Very well balanced speakers with a beautiful top end and solid bass level. They've handled everything full range that I have thrown at them. I really can't speak highly enough about the top end. The tweeters are perfectly balanced for my taste. The 5.4's do a very good job as a 2.0 system for music and do a better job than I expected for HT while I save for a sub. I would happily recommend the A5.4's to someone.

I got 2 A1.5's and an A2.4 for my living room home theater (about 50/50 music and HT). It's a big space - around 5000 ft^3 - and these more than fill it with sound with headroom to spare. They are incredibly neutral, so much more so than what I was used to that it took me a little while to adjust. But now, whether it's metal or classical, I'm hearing things I never knew I was missing. I tend to agree with the consensus that there simply isn't anything that competes with these speakers for less than double the cost (and maybe not even then). These are the kind of speakers that people will be reminiscing about years from now.
