Big sound from small speakers. Mounting brackets could be much better. Tend to lose position unless you add some super glue. Once installed, however, they sound beautiful.

These speakers are great, fit perfectly where we needed them and can be rotated to produce a perfect 360 sound experience... Ended up installing 4 of these bad boys...

Bought these as the middle surround speakers in 7.1 set up after upgrading my receiver from a 5.1 set up. They have done everything I have asked of them with no problems. Sound has been great in the roll they play. Don't know how they would be as front speakers, but that's not what a bought them for. Well worth the price, you won't be sorry.

I think one still needs a woofer and center channel with these speakers. The base is weak.

Excellent product from an excellent brand! I replaced some older Pioneer rear channel speakers with these and the sound quality is much clearer. Love these!

These babies pack a punch. These sound better than theatre quality and will have you house shaking with full deep rich sound.

Small but every bit as sound worthy as my old school speaker system. They were easy to mount to a wall and could easily be utilized as a shelf speaker.

Bought these speakers for my 15 year old son who was using speakers 20 years old. They were large and old. Wanted something smaller and with good sound.

Great speakers, good sound. We have them mounted on the wall for our surround sound system. I selected "excellent" for ease of use, but we had them installed by the Geek Squad (so it was very easy for us).

These speakers can be free-standing on a shelf or suspended from the ceiling or wall with the included brackets. When I recently expanded my home audio from 5.1 to 7.1 I bought these speakers, because I knew they would be great. I already owned a pair that I bought a few years ago. These speakers are reliable and sound great when joined with a quality sub-woofer.
