We purchased two sets of these T-Series 301's as side and rear speakers in a 7.2.4 surround set up. I'm very well aware that this is not going to be the typical purchase, use, or experience, so I'm acknowledging that up front; please keep it in mind when reading this review. We purchased these in part because we hoped that the "voicing" would do well with the KEF R3 Metas that we got for the front L/R and the KEF R2 meta for the Center channel; in part because we hoped that the extra driver over the 101 series would afford extra depth/clarity; and partly because of the slim, white form factor. We have from and rear SVS SB-1000 subwoofers and while that range of sound is not *supposed* to be directional, I HIGHLY recommend the use of a sub with these speakers. First off: they are very, very good, a real surprise, pleasantly so. We are coming from direct-sale Orb Audio speakers so they are very nice (the Orbs served us well, with subs, for a very long time). I can easily see folks buying these for front L/R/C and even surrounds in the same system and, so long as you are covering the lows with the sub, you will be happy. My own observation, colored by my proximity (close) to the speakers is that they are bright and get more harried with volume. I *think* that someone setting back sufficiently from these in the front soundstage would be happy in either music or movies, so long as they are not planning to push to Reference level volume. I sure hope this helps. We are happy as heck with ours, not being taxed too much and covered low by sub(s). One last note: we have heard admiring comments more than once from people about their looks or they way they blend into the room, so there is that, too. For the sides, we purchased the pricey but perfect matching KEF stands and they are perfect in form and function, putting the speakers at perfect listening height.

The speakers hit the sweet spot - the fact that you get a pair of them for this price point is great! The speakers are very good quality, too, and produce excellent, crisp sound. They are also a space saver being as thin as they are and still having the great elements internally to produce the sound they do! A must have for home theater buffs on a budget!

great sound, blends in with the wall by TV, nice design

Cant believe the sound these thin wall mount surrounds put out.

[Employee of bestbuy] These speakers sound fantastic, i am using them as a 4th and 5th channel. Also planning on buying another pair for the 6th and 7th!
