Audiophile performance without breaking the bank
These compact satalite speakers are really just that good fir the price. The folded motion tweeter gives you a crisp and airy sound with tons of detail. The sound stage is very large for this size of a speaker the ported mid bass has great low end that match some of the larger speakers in the martin logan range. If you do consider to purchase these get a subwoofer to help with the lower frequencies. These are a must have for anyone getting into speakers I cant give them any higher praise than that.

Great for Heights and Good for Surrounds!
I use these speakers as my surround and heights for my theater. Love the style of them and they do sound great. They lack base, but for surrounds/heights its not too important. They have enough to get the job done thats for sure. I plan on upgrading them soon though. I'm going to keep them as heights but not as surrounds. For Height/Atmos, theyre perfect!

ML surrounds
Was able to find a steal of a deal on an open box pair. They're being used as side surrounds in a ML 5.2.4 configuration. They sound great to my ears. Blend well with my Motion 40 and 50. Install was easy. The bracket they come with doesn't allow you to angle the speaker. Works well in my application still. Seem easy to drive with an older Marantz 6013. Solid build and clean sound as surrounds or fill.
