Customers appreciate the exceptional sound quality, particularly the impressive bass response, of the Reference Series Dual 8" speakers. Many also praise the speakers' power handling capabilities and value for the price. However, some customers note that the speakers are large and heavy, and a few have expressed concerns about the durability of the feet. Overall, the positive feedback on sound quality outweighs the negative comments regarding size and weight.
we purchased 4 of the Reference dual 8'' speakers, 2 bookshelf speakers and 1 sub which is on the way. When we unboxed everything we decided to put this in the master bedroom which is pretty much a big square. After hooking the speakers up in the bedroom (small space) we turned the receiver on and played some music on low then to slightly mid volume level . At this point I'm WOWED with mids and highs and this is without the center channel speaker but not a lot of bass so now I'm disappointed and ready to return it. Before unhooking everything I decided to up the bass and tweak some settings on the receiver and put more volume on them and WOW...DEEP whole house shaking bass with crystal clear sound with music and movies. THESE TOWERS WANT POWER AND LOTS OF IT!! This same day I removed everything from the bedroom to my open floor plan living room and here is when it all went downhill with the bass but the mids and highs were still making me happy. You will definitely need to purchase a subwoofer for high levels of bass if you plan to use these towers for big open areas. As of now I'm currently waiting on the Klipsch 12 inch subwoofer to arrive because I would like to keep it set up in my living room. Half off was a good deal as I would have returned everything if I had payed full price. I will update when the subwoofer arrives. Hopefully the subwoofer wows me as well and completes my setup for now until I can purchase the center channel speaker and another subwoofer on sale. currently using yamaha YHT-4950UBL receiver

I was little surprised when I opened the box regarding their size. Everything always looks smaller at the store. I hooked them up to my audio receiver and was a little disappointed at low volume. Then I turned up the volume and the world opened up in quality and spaciousness! I realized these speakers want power and lots of it. So be prepared to have the volume up to get the best out of them.

Great upgrade from my old klipsch towers. The 8in drivers make the sound much fuller, giving more punch to bass and clarity with the new cone designs. You don't need a lot of power to run these either, but when you do, that's where it really shines. These towers can handle power without distortion easily. Plus they look great!
