Fenton SHFB65 - 6.5" HiFi Passive Bookshelf Speaker Set with 200W Power
Rediscover your music collection and elevate your home entertainment experience with the Fenton SHFB65 bookshelf speaker system. Meticulously designed for audiophiles and sound enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance of performance, aesthetics, and size, these passive speakers offer a robust audio solution without the bulk of traditional floorstanding towers. With acoustic engineering focused on clarity and depth, the SHFB65 is a versatile option capable of transforming any living room, office, or bedroom into an immersive soundstage.
The heart of this system lies in its high-performance two-way configuration. Each speaker cabinet houses a powerful 6.5-inch woofer , responsible for reproducing mid and low frequencies with surprising punch for its compact chassis. This woofer is perfectly complemented by a 3-inch tweeter , which handles the highs with precision, guaranteeing crisp vocals and brilliant instrumental detail. The integration of both drivers is managed by an optimized internal crossover that ensures a smooth transition between frequencies, resulting in a wide and coherent stereo image.
The cabinet design isn't merely aesthetic; it plays a crucial role in sound performance. Built with a low-vibration bass reflex design, these speakers utilize a rear port to extend the bass response down to 35Hz, delivering extra punch in action movies or bass-heavy music genres. The sleek black finish and understated design allow them to blend seamlessly into any modern décor, while non-slip rubber feet ensure the speakers remain stable and decoupled from the surface, preventing unwanted resonances in furniture.
In terms of connectivity, the Fenton SHFB65 speakers demonstrate their HiFi pedigree. On the back, you'll find high-quality, gold-plated connection terminals. This technical detail is crucial for preventing long-term corrosion and ensuring maximum signal transfer from your amplifier. These terminals offer complete flexibility, allowing the use of banana plugs, spade connectors, or direct connection of heavy-gauge bare wire, facilitating a professional and secure installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need an amplifier to use these speakers?
Yes, the Fenton SHFB65 are passive speakers. This means they have no built-in amplification and must be connected to an external amplifier or AV receiver via speaker cable to function.
-
Can I connect them directly to my turntable?
It depends on your turntable. If your turntable has a preamp and line output, you'll still need an amplifier in between. You can't connect them directly to the turntable without a power amplifier in between.
-
Do they include connection cables?
As is standard with high-fidelity speakers, they don't usually include long cables, since the cable length and quality depend on the user's specific installation. Oxygen-free copper (OFC) speaker wire is recommended for optimal performance.
-
Can they be hung on the wall?
Although primarily designed for shelving, they can be placed on universal speaker wall mounts that support their weight and dimensions, although they do not include "keyhole" mounting holes integrated into the wood.
