Overnight sensations are diy.........With [email protected]/1M and 90 Watt RMS capacity it will be fun to hit reference levels at any distance. They do have "extended bass response to 45 Hz!
However...
From the c-net review: "The Dayton Audio T652s are good, but the Pioneer SP-FS52 towers, for $260 a pair, are substantially better in every way."
By the way, this IS the DIY section...![]()
A sale just ended on Amazon for the FS52s for $80 each. Easily the best speaker at that price. That's literally cheaper getting bookshelves and speaker stands.With [email protected]/1M and 90 Watt RMS capacity it will be fun to hit reference levels at any distance.

L and r front mains.Really need to know the application here.... There are better options than both of those in the same price area.
Stereo listening? Theater? What volume levels intended? What's your budget like? How much space do you have available?L and r front mains.
Well, you have a sub... I'd suggest spending a little more. Maybe look at something like the Fusion 6 or Fusion 8.
So. I think I've settled on the fusion 6. The cost is only more expensive than the original budget by about 30$ per speaker. And at only 15$ for a pre cut cnc'd flat pack it sounds like an awesome deal. But now I'm thinking of 2 anarchy horns. One under the left and right speakers. But could these easily be built into a singular tower with the anarchy on the bottom and fusion 6 on top?DIY with a really small budget will have trouble outperforming comparably priced retail products. It's hard for niche products from niche vendors to outcompete the Walmarts of the world in the race to the bottom. It's probably worth saving for something that you'll be happier with.
On second though the anarchy horn is very deep.So. I think I've settled on the fusion 6. The cost is only more expensive than the original budget by about 30$ per speaker.

this sounds like a good option. I really love the gold/bronze cones. I know aesthetics shouldn't matter but...... I guess I'll be researching the tmm variant now.There is a design for a TMM Overnight Sensation tower. It would be a mere 6" wide and as tall or short as you like (I would recommend 34" tall). So with your small space, they wouldn't be too visually intrusive. Put them on either side of the TV stand.
They would get ~6dB louder than the OS-TM speakers and still be pretty cheap. I think the crossover is the same as the MTM as well.
Just to throw you another option. I've listened to the OS many times and it continues to amaze. I can't believe that cheap small drivers like that can perform so well with a proper crossover.
That Dayton tower you are looking at, I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole, given my experience with the B652s- which are the 2nd worse speakers I've ever heard.
