Personal Review

"I recently reviewed the Arche Audio FR 2 Bookshelf Speakers and found them to offer a balanced, high-quality sound wrapped in a stylish design. They shine especially well with classical and jazz music, providing clarity and depth. While they may lack significant bass and require an external amplifier, these compact speakers deliver excellent value for money. If you’re looking for an elegant yet powerful addition to your desktop setup, these might be the speakers for you."

Bass Response

5.8

We found the bass response of the Arche Audio FR 2 to be moderate. If you're into bass-heavy music genres, you might find it lacking a bit of punch. It performs better with genres that don't rely heavily on deep bass. That said, as desktop or bookshelf speakers, they do an acceptable job but don’t expect room-shaking bass.

Treble Detail

8.5

The treble detail on these speakers stood out significantly. We observed that the FR 2 delivers shimmering highs that do justice to classical and jazz music. The treble is crisp and distinct, catering well to those who appreciate a detailed high-end.

Midrange Clarity

8.2

Midrange clarity is one of FR 2's strong points. Vocals and instruments in the midrange spectrum are well-separated and clear. It performs admirably in bringing out the nuances in the midrange frequencies, making it a good choice for listening to vocal-heavy genres.
