Good sound but the tweeter is a bit to high pitched. More of a sharp hiss instead of separating cymbals and mid range sounds like bongos, and steel drums and guitars are really screaming high pitched with no range. But for $50 dollars and mixed with a subwoofer and center speaker you can get them to blend well. I only listen in stereo but and a center speaker and subwoofer and play in all channel stereo on my amplifier and it works. If your not and audiophile and just want some better bass and sound for you home theater then these will do the job. I recommend to an older age group as younger people will hear the flaws in the highs. My parents think they sound great in their home.

For the price on sale these can't be beat. They are one of the only speakers you can get for under $100 with a crossover. They are even better than the Polks. The are very detailed and pretty bright sounding but a little lacking in bass. I eventually upgrade to the Pioneer BS22 which are warmer and have more bass but I always recommend these to people when they're on sale. I'm using them in my kitchen now and they still surprise me.

For the price these Insignia's are amazing set of speakers, i can't believe how good these sounded with my Yamaha Stereo receiver, these speakers produce very detailed sound and MID-RANGE is what these speakers will produce for you with exceptional quality with decent Bass output (don't expect much from a 5.25 inch speaker), you definitely would need to add a Sub-woofer if you really want some good amount of BASS. Very good speakers and i am extremely happy with the purchase.
