Product Description
Top-notch components yield a stunningly accurate bookshelf-size speaker! Custom designed 3/4" tweeter delivers crystal-clean undistorted upper mid and high frequencies. The 6" poly/graphite woofer is light yet rigid for tight, accurate extended bass. Rear-enclosure patented "Venturi" vent further extends deep low frequency performance. It is ideal for use with all surround and music formats.
Amazon.com Product Description
Attention, all bass lovers needing small speakers: this stately pair of Venturi DV62si bookshelf speakers from BIC America uses a patented and specially tuned rear-panel Venturi port to extend the its low-frequency response to an impressive 43 Hz, nearly a full octave below the capabilities of most bookshelf speakers--the place where kick drums kick and bass guitars growl their deepest. The 2-way speakers would suitably fill out your home theater with surround sound, enliven your dorm or apartment with music, or provide gentle background ambience in your bedroom or business. Use one pair for stereo or surround applications or pick up 2 pairs (4 speakers) for use as the front and surround elements in a multichannel listening system. The speakers are magnetically shielded for distortion-free placement near your television or computer monitor. Video programs sound more lifelike and enveloping with timbrally matched speakers all around, and plenty of newer music formats--from the DTS surround CD to DVD-Audio and SACD--offer music from your favorite artists mixed expressly for surround-sound listening. (Alternately, you could use these as surround speakers with larger, floorstanding speakers for the front left/right channels.) Standing just under 15 inches tall, the DV62si speakers each use a custom-designed .75-inch, ferrofluid-cooled dome tweeter for extended high frequencies and a 6-inch poly/graphite-blend woofer is light yet rigid for tight, accurate, and remarkably extended bass. What's in the Box
Two speakers with grilles, a user's manual, and warranty information.

 Bic Venturi DV62SI March 4, 2003

I was looking to replace my Boston Acoustics a60 pair after about 20 years of use. I read as many reviews as I could find on the internet and also looked at Consumers Report. I kind of narrowed it down to the JBL S26,Venturi DV62si and Polk r15. The DV62si won the competition. I auditioned each of the speakers and found the BIC pair to have a singularly beautiful sound especially for classical and jazz (which are my mainstays). I was pleasantly surprised by the bass response since CR said they were a bit "bass shy". I recommend highly. (I have my speakers on 12 inch stands.) Bravo BIC.

These speakers are far better that I would expect from and bookshelf speaker of this size ands price. I love the warmth of these little speakers. I listened to Bose 301's and these are better to me. I think for what you pay and the sound quality you get it is hard to justify the Bose at 3x the price!
Still a bookshelf speaker, and they do have limitations for the size, but I would recommend them to anyone looking for a bookshelf speaker that sounds great and has a real mans price sticker.

I just wrote a review of the the Dv-62CLRS speaker, which is a top of the line center speaker. When I bought the DV-62CLRS I also got a pair of the DV-62si's. I paired them together with the DV-62CLRS speaker as my front speakers for my sourond sound system matched to a Rotel Processor and Parasound Amp. After close to a 100 hour burn in these speaker started to come to life. All I can say is that for the price they just can not be beaten. It is a shame that most stereo stores do not stock these so as to compare them to their high dollar speakers. Could be there is some logic to this as they would have a hard time selling those other brand name speakers(at two to three times the cost). when compaired to the B.I.C.s

These speakers are fantastic. The imaging that the create when combined with the DV-62CLR center channel is amazing. They blend so smoothly that it is very difficult to determine what speaker the sound is coming from. Typically with most systems, you can pick out when the dialogue is focused through the center channel, but this makes very smooth transitions between all of the speakers. I am currently using them as my front speakers in a surround set-up that also works well for music, if not better. The sound does take a little time to warm up, but all good speakers do require break-in time. For me I listened to various types of music for about two days before the sound began to mellow and develop a richer sound. At first, the sound was kind of hollow and timid, but over time developed a very lively, open sound. I listened to B&W speakers that were highly recommended, but thought that they lacked the true live sound, they sounded boxy, but very accurate. I prefer the sound of Energy, Paradigm, or even Boston Acoustics for a warmer feel, but these bookshelfs are much cheaper. I will hopefully get the DV 64 towers to replace these as my front speakers and move these to the back as surrounds. The only reason they get four stars is because nothing is perfect, but they do sound like speakers costing upwards of five hundred dollars plus.

I was so very impressed by the raving reports. But hearing is believing. Physically, well built! Mediocre sound. No comparison with a Yamaha half its size. No transparency (hallow colored sound), mediocre imaging. Bass booms at port resonance (can be cured by plugging the port with an old sock, but loose bass response). Not flat response. Good and tight mid and high range. You can get better sound for less if you go to a $80 Yamaha product. All together, not bad. Good try, but no cigar!
