my second pair - that says it

Perfect for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although these are no longer the current generation, they are still awesome. You should know they require a jumper (included) between the 2 sets of posts unless you plan to bi-amp each driver in the box. My biggest surprise is how they fit in my bookshelf perfectly. Hah, a bookshelf that fits the bookshelf!

Fulfill your quest for authentic sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these bookshelf speakers. Have powered with Yamaha AVR. Sounds and looks great. It's pricey but not just for its great looks or being B&W. Cannot regret with this one. I can play variety of music without any hassle and enjoy listening all day. Even the bass sounds perfect without a subwoofer.

Big Sound from Little Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Crystal clear and plenty of juice from these little bookshelf speakers. Replaced my long-time Boston floor standing towers. While not the same full rich sound as floor-standings, these little guys sound great and project well for their size. Perfect for small to mid-size room where not practical to have the big boys. Black gloss finish is rich.

outstanding bookshelf speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.they sound great when listing in the background but shine when you really want to turn up the volume and listen to the music. running through an rotel a12 amp at about 90db, you can hear the guitar players fingers slide over the notes enough bass and midrange to bring all the warm of Robin Trower to life.

excellent sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I placed these speakers in my main living room area and another set in my game room slash kitchen and they do the job. They are the best speakers for a high ceiling loft type room. They provide the best sound for the mid price range speakers. Although they are a bit pricey.

AMAZING SOUND
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i have waited until the speakers were properly broken in to write my review. I am using these as my surround speakers with B&W 683 S2 Towers as my front channel speakers. These alone are and amazing speaker and can hold there own. They could easily be used as front channel speakers in a surround system if used with a good sub. The sound they reproduce is pure and clean, nothing short of amazing. i have many hours listning to all the speakers in the Magnolia section of Best Buy that were in my price range. These were to me the best sounding for movies and most of all music. I finally have my dream sound system and would by the same speakers if i had to do it again.

Great bookshelf speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to go with my Marantz receiver. Space is limited for me, so I went with the smaller speakers. Sound is nice and clean once you break them in, much better than the Klipsch synergy setup I was using. Very impressive given their size. You will need a sub for better bass, but I love these little gems, and am considering a second pair.

Excellent Sound in a Smallish Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have a very nice full sound and create a wide soundscape. Loud enough to hear throughout the whole house. Clean crisp high end and warm mid and low end. Definitely worth their price.
