    Best speakers EVER!!! B&W does not disappoint, really good highs, mids & lows. You hear details you didn’t know were there & satisfying to hear music from these bad boys! I’m using a Sony receiver to power these speakers & I know Sony doesn’t provide the most clearest audio but they still sound just CRAZY GOOD!!!

    Great quality speakers and sounds excellent. One thing is the mount is only on one side which limits some mounting positions.

    Crisp clear richly detailed sound with warm full bass sound and they are not yet fully broken in yet. If you get to compare with other outdoor speakers and want the best sound, the choice is easy. Others may sound really good and then you hear the B & W and you know in the long run despite the price, the quality of sound gives you more than your moneys worth.
