Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf vs PSB Alpha P3

The $179 Symfonisk Table Lamp doubles as a lamp, while the $99 Symfonisk WiFi Bookshelf Speaker, reviewed here, can be used as a wall shelf. Sonically, the speaker delivers a powerful punch for the price, including some impressive bass depth. It can also be incorporated into exisiting Sonos systems, making it the least expensive Sonos-compatible speaker available and earning our Editors' Choice.

small, well finished, veneers look nice, and the grills are magnetic and easily removed for cleaning (not dust catching fabric either!). The sound to me is warm and rich. While I do have a subwoofer, the bass out of these little guys is substantial and would do fine on it’s own if you were to use them in a small shelf stereo. I’ve watched a lot of TV and listened to a lot of tunes through these already and I can’t tell you how impressed I am

Those looking for really pounding low notes might be a bit disappointed but the frame sounds great with most music genres. The Sonos One still sounds a little better all-round but it is very close.

As a matter of fact, you wanted folks to see the sweet speakers you had - to understand how much you were into your music. While these are the pygmy cousins to the ginormous tower speakers of that era, they are hardly the teeny-tiny BlueTooth speakers that are all the rage now. These are not meant to be sweetly camouflaged behind a vase. These are meant to be seen and HEARD

I just got the Ikea symfonisk lamps as surrounds and they are awesome. They also are more living room friendly aesthetically.

They have a stylish look and fill up a mid-sized room with no problem; again for the power rating of 60 watts pretty decent overall. The compact size allows you to find a spot for them pretty easily and doesn't require a heavy duty wall mount if you choose to do it that way.
