    The fullest sounding speakers I have ever purchased before I had to use a subwoofer for the lows but that would be expected with a 5-1/4 inch driver on a pair of speakers.

    They sound very good whether you have them turned down low or if you turn the volume up louder than you probably should.

    I am using these as rear surround speakers for my Klipsch home theater, so probably not even pushing them to their limit. That being said they perform great in that role and I love the way they look.

    For the price, size and convenience , they’re awesome. Not a ton of detail/clarity in the upper mids, or in the very low frequencies, but..whatever, they’re not audiophile level speakers. They’re definitely better the Sony speakers that were priced close to these.

    Great sound for a great price, if you're a crazy audiophile you're most likely looking in this direction but for getting into sound systems its serves it's purpose.

    Missing a little bit of the low end so these should be used in conjunction with a subwoofer if you are using them for front channel. For rear channel they’re excellent.

    Using to listen to music. The r-50m sounds great on their on but I added the Klipsch r-100sw for the deeper bass. Clear distortion free music.
