Judging by the bargain price of these speakers, they are doing a fantastic job!
The bass only starts at 75 Hz, but you can hardly expect deeper bass from a speaker the size of a shoebox. Nonetheless the bass is tight and clean, none of the fluffiness of so many other cheap bookshelf speakers. The midrange is soft and clear, and so is the treble. Maybe a little bit on the bright side, which is however more than equalised by great dynamics, perfectly suited for pop and rock music. Most importantly, this is a very musical speaker, it provides a well integrated, colourf ul and harmonious reproduction, whatever the source.
Fair enough, the DM 302 cannot accentuate vocals and instruments as brilliantly and colourful as the CDM 2, and it is far from producing the same atmosphere and warmth. The DM 302 appears to play with a slight cold undertone. Yet I was surprised at the ease at which these speakers can create openness and roominess. At medium to higher levels DM 302 creates a wide and deep stage, and manages to fill medium-sized rooms. This latter result was only just matched by the far more expensive CDM 2 after a lot of repositioning and fine tuning. Even at low volume levels, the DM 302 sounds never flat or two-dimensional.
This makes it the perfect all-round family speaker and the perfect upgrade for cheap stereo systems. The DM 302 feels most at home when playing pop music, but on jazz and classic it still does a good job.
