Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers and editors consistently praise the Companion 2 Series II for its surprisingly spacious imaging and clear, robust low‑note response achieved through TrueSpace processing and a ported cabinet. They also highlight the ease of setup with dual RCA inputs, the monitor‑safe magnetic shielding, and the distortion‑free loudness. The main criticisms from experts focus on the absence of a dedicated subwoofer and the lack of disclosed power or frequency response data, which limits its appeal to audiophiles.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the immersive, room‑filling sound and the stylish graphite look, noting that the speakers easily handle music, movies and games on a desktop. They appreciate the dual‑source connectivity and the convenient front headphone jack for late‑night listening. Recurring complaints center on the shallow bass response, occasional need for extra cables, and the perception that the speakers feel lightweight compared to expectations.
Common Complaints
Lack of deep bass due to no subwoofer, missing detailed power/frequency specs, weight/dimension inconsistencies across listings, occasional need for extra cables for a second input, and a perception of lightweight construction.
