Sven MS-2051

Multimedia harvester

Sven MS-2051 is a convenient home 2.1 system with wired and wireless connections that can equally well play the role of a music centre or a home theater.

High build quality

Let's start with the positive. We have repeatedly praised Sven for attention to detail. Like it or not, you'll have to praise this time too. Firstly, at a price of just over $50, the speakers are made of MDF, although ordinary plastic is much more typical for this price category. The build quality is good: there is no play of parts, the material does not creak, the seams at the joints are small.

Music centre replacement

Secondly, the system works as a universal music centre that can catch FM radio, play music from a flash drive, and also supports simultaneous connection of several signal sources via Bluetooth and a regular wire. The usability here is really on the level and it’s only possible to find fault with the display, which instead of the names of the tracks from the flash drive displays only serial numbers. With a large library of dozens of albums, this is not very convenient. On the other hand, this overlay slightly compensates for useful little things like wall mounts or the possibility of complete tonal balancing (there are both treble and bass controls), which is not so often seen in acoustics of this price range.

Equally good at any volume

Acoustics is equipped with a built-in subwoofer amplifier with a power reserve of 55 watts. Of these, 30 watts falls on the sub itself, and the remaining 25 are scattered between a pair of two-way speakers. Interestingly, both subwoofers and satellites reproduce quite clean and clear sound even at maximum volume. Although even more expensive speakers wheeze when working at the limit. It is possible that Sven engineers simply left a small margin of power.
