These are phenomenal home theater speakers. I stepped up from KEF LS50s which were great. But these take it to a whole other level. They play deep and authoritative. The compression driver makes it feel like bullets are flying through the room. I run them full range. After testing with multiple amps I hooked them up to a JBL SDR receiver and they sound even better. I listen to a lot of the Black Keys. These speakers to an amazing job in two channel as well. They are forgiving enough that bad recordings still sound smooth.
