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.

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.
