    3.5 stars since quality controls seems to be lakin

    Look great, sound great. First speaker came in great. Second came in with a knick in the back, so i ordered a replacement. That replacement had a small blemish on the front. Very frustrating. For audio, they are fantastic for movies, dont expect much for music.

    10/10

    Top to bottom, one of the most worthwhile purchases I've ever made. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better combination of performance, build quality, and visual aesthetics at this price point. The bass is powerful, but the midrange is really where these shine in my opinion. I have them powered by a Cambridge CXA61 with a Wiim mini, Sony DVD player for CDs, Teac TN-3B turntable, and my tv for sources. So far, they're well-worth the investment and I expect to keep them for a long time.

    Inaccurate but extremely pleasant sound

    Do not buy these if you are looking for 100% accurate reproduction of a recorded sound. Do buy these if you like to listen to music or movies with crystal clear, sparkling, spacious high end, and warm powerful mid bass, and don’t mind applying some gentle eq and speaker placement techniques, and cranking up the volume in order to get there. These have a kind of small sweet spot in stereo field/ sound stage , but oh man is it sweet when you are in it. Best for medium / large rooms with few listeners/small seating area. They color the sound, but in a way I find very pleasant.

    Audiophile Speakers At An Affordable Price

    I was impressed by how good these speakers sounded in relation to ones more than double the price. I always wanted to purchase a high end system but was turned off by the high price and if I could even appreciate the difference. The F2 tower speakers were the answer. Crisp clear highs and punchy bass and fantastic spatial sound are the result.
