Performance Rating:(4.0 out of 5)
Value Rating:(4.0 out of 5)


MSRP: $999

Review date: Apr 29, 2006

Onix is one of several brands exclusively distributed through AV123, and manufactures both loudspeakers and electronic components, such as CD players and integrated amplifiers, for sale through the site. The Melody SP3 is intended as a high value product aimed at budget minded Hi Fi enthusiasts who dream of esoteric gear but are grounded by simple economics.

ProsCons
  • Smooth treble and warm midrange.
  • Good bass output for power rating.
  • Solid build quality, heavy.
  • At maximum output, sound is still tolerable.
  • All of the sonic advantages of tubes.
  • Bass is not as tightly controlled as with comparable solid-state gear.
  • Roll off in the upper treble.
  • Low wattage limits maximum output.
  • All of the sonic shortcomings of tubes.
