    I own another pair of these speakers in my theater room along with a center channel. I love them. They sound fantastic and of course you have to have a decent receiver to get the best out of them.

    I bought these to use them instead of my JBL L40s while I had the woofers re-foamed. I have a Velodyne HGS-12 subwoofer, so I did not need any bass from these. They sounded great. Now I am my woofers back from the shop and no longer need them as substitute fronts.

    These speakers are loud with a stable quality of sound. They have a cork bottom that suprised me, but after researching it, that allows the sound to be of a better quality.

    Incredible speakers for the size. I decided to use them as rear channel speakers instead of left and right channel. Honestly though these are so crisp they compete with my larger more expensive speakers.

    My father kept asking about my home theater system. So I finally broke down and started getting one together for him. This is the best sounding speaker system I've ever heard since I left the house.

    Full disclosure; I’m 70, hearing isn’t the best anymore. I was comparing these to KEF150’s; pricing within $20. I did A/B testing for about 13 days (15 day return). The Klipsch have a nice sound, as do the KEF. It boils down to personal opinion. I could have lived with either. As I had to choose, I picked the KEF. Just thought a little smoother - not as much emphasis on high frequency. You’ll be happy with these.
