- Peak Power Handling: 100 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

- Minimum Frequency Response: 49 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

- High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Phenomenal Speakers for the Price
These speakers are an incredible value. They originally retailed for around $550 and were worth it at that price. For $300 these speakers are a steal! I am using these in a 2.0 setup in my home theater and couldn't be happier. These are relatively compact, but put out a fair amount of sound which never distorts or is too harsh for listening. The name of the game is neutrality. These speakers have a very flat response curve and yet have a unique sound signature which is hard to explain. The lows, mids, and highs are all perfectly balanced together which creates a wonderful listening experience. For watching TV and movies, these speakers also excel. Voices come through as clear and distinct, alleviating the need for a dedicated center channel. Additionally, since these speakers are coaxial (the woofer and tweeter are part of the same unit) the imaging is superb. The sweet spot for these speakers is very broad, so broad that even when I'm cooking in my kitchen which is almost 90 degrees off-center these speakers still sound great! To say I am happy with my purchase is an understatement. If you are in the market for great bookshelf speakers in the $300 range, you would be crazy not to give these a try.

Best Speakers for the money
I tried several speakers trying to figure out which ones sounded best in my house. These were on sale for 299 a pair. When I got to the register, they were only $229 a pair. Normally, these were $599 per pair. The sound is great. Sometimes, I felt they were lacking a bit in midrange, but I discovered it was the recording. There is little to no coloration in the Q100. The recording is as it was recorded. However, if the music is low quality, that will show up. These are great speakers, and at the current price, they are a steal.
