These Monitor Speakers are phenomenal for the price point and they are amazingly reliable. They're simple to use, have versatile input options (no HDMI, though), and offer a quality, balanced sound profile for their size. I own two sets of these speakers, with my first pair (in my photos) now 7 years old. Originally, they served as my TV/Music speakers, in the living room, for 5 years solid. I ran them hard, loud, and daily, along with a 150w Klipsch Sub, and they never failed to deliver. After finally investing int a true high-end stereo system, I gladly retired this pair to my PC desktop to serve as true "monitor speakers." I have not noticed ANY drop in sound quality despite their age...And they will beat any TV soundbar and/or monitor speakers at the same price point, all day long. Just add a subwoofer and game-over.

For its size cant complain with the loudness of this speaker it can fill my living room with music My use of this speaker is for my record player which set up like a desk top PC were in i sit very close to it its clear enough and detailed enough to enjoy my records in a low volume, for active listening the bass is good enough no need for subwoofer actually i need the speaker far from the wall to lessen the low end But if use this to blast my music through Bluetooth or optical output for my CD player really need the speaker to be closer to the wall probably need a subwoofer if you going to use it this way but for now its good enough for its main function which is to enjoy my record player
