Page 2 of 3 This model is an absolute „déjà vu“; 2.0 set and starting point for all interested in manufacturing loudspeakers. In fact, if the manufacturer gets this right, the rest is going like clockwork, treating the rest as variants of the subject. Therefore, criticism of these sets are usually pretty reserved, given that the perfection in this field for manufacturers of computer loudspeakers is something you more frequently acknowledge as final than starting point.
For starters, design and choice of relief Kevlar membrane on this set are praiseworthy. Boxes themselves, although utterly geometrically regular, still give the impression of solidness and quality final processing. Further, the choice of 4“ double-system Kevlar loudspeakers suggest that Gigabyte didn’t conclude the contract with first corner manufacturer of loudspeakers, but tried to make a good thing. Realistically, what are objections, and, if it plays poorly, what is the point in all of this? Although it seems generically cross-breeded, GP-S6500 doesn’t play bad at all, but it plays rather quite for box of its size and has two realistic problems.
The one which truly cannot be tolerated anymore are bass and volume commands on rear side of the satellite, and other lies in 1“ separated high-tone which, although we salute this solution, has the tendency of occasional hissing. It is not incorrect specimen by all means, but this low volume requires more restrained quantity of high-tones, particularly in boxes of individual 8W power, where 4“ driver taking over the role of low-tone cannot lower under 100-80Hz. Simply, high ones protrude a little bit from overall impression.
The solution is certainly in software adjustment, but needs for testing loudspeakers for all equalization and sound processing are cancelled, therefore, the loudspeaker enters the stage by playing from the purest possible source.
