The SX60 brings vocal clarity, pinpoint imaging and lively dynamics to affordable standmount sound. Andrew Robinson found its articulate upper-mid presence especially compelling for voices and dialogue, while the front-ported design remains accommodating in larger rooms. Fast, engaging and easy to drive, it is a sharp choice for listeners who prize communication over heavyweight bass.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Exceptional vocal intelligibility and dialogue clarity, with a detailed, present upper-midrange that remains free of shoutiness.
Laser-focused centre imaging and fast, scalable dynamics make music involving at low and high volumes.
Easy-to-drive, front-ported standmount design offers flexible placement and can suit larger spaces than the smaller SX-50.
Strong value: delivers clarity, detail and dynamic ability without a premium price.
&
Cons
Deep bass is limited; a subwoofer is recommended for convincing full-range weight and impact.
At its limits, bass can sound somewhat one-note, while the leaner balance may not suit listeners seeking warmth.
The highest treble lacks some ultimate bloom and shimmer, and the overall soundstage is capable rather than exceptionally expansive.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
The SX60 is an energetic, clear-sounding stand-mount with particularly strong vocal communication, sharply focused centre imaging and unusually lively scaling for the price. Its low end is useful rather than full-range, while the upper-mid and treble emphasis trades a little tonal richness and ultimate air for excellent intelligibility.
Bass
83/100
The 6.5-inch woofer offers enough bass for a smaller room and delivers solid detail and definition through roughly the 50–60Hz region. At its limits, however, the low end is described as somewhat one-note, with true full-range playback requiring a subwoofer.
Mid
91/100
Reviewers find the midrange largely neutral, if a little lean beside some competing two-ways. A lift in the upper mids brings exceptional vocal presence and dialogue clarity, with one reviewer saying it outperforms many speakers in its class and some above it.
Treble
88/100
The treble has strong presence, detail and vocal intelligibility without becoming shouty or metallic. It is slightly boosted, and the very highest notes do not fully bloom or shimmer, so it is more incisive than especially airy.
Soundstage Imaging
87/100
With toe-in, centre images are described as laser-focused and exceptionally stable. The wider presentation is not unusually expansive or room-transforming, but is considered fully competitive for a compact bookshelf speaker.
Dynamics
92/100
The SX60 is praised as involving and enjoyable at both low and high volume levels. Its ability to scale with volume and respond quickly gives it a notably spirited, fun character for a modestly priced stand-mount.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
80/100
The review identifies a conventional two-way layout with a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter and 6.5-inch paper woofer. Reviewers say little about cabinet finish, resonance control, terminals, crossover construction or long-term durability.
Value for Money
91/100
At roughly $299–$329, the SX60 is presented as an affordable speaker with clarity, vocal definition and dynamic ability that are often associated with pricier models. The reviewer specifically notes that it delivers these qualities without commanding a premium price.
