    These are good general purpose speakers that I use as left and right floor units. They are part of a 7.1 system using a Yamaha high quality receiver. If you're looking for high quality sound , you will have to spend a lot more.

    I purchased these recently to replace my home theater in a box set that came with my Onkyo receiver years ago. I just recently became heavily involved in music again after purchasing a turntable and felt my system needed a little improvement. First and foremost these are an extremely attractive set of speakers and aren't too large at all. I mounted them to the wall with side mount brackets and they look fantastic! Once I hooked them up I took them for a "spin". At first they sounded AWFUL and I was wondering if I made a mistake. But after some reading I realized I probably needed to rework my EQ settings on my receiver to accommodate the new speakers. It took some time and tweaking but within an hour or so these babies started to seriously sing! The sound is lush and full, nothing is overpowering, and due to the added frequency response I was able to drastically lower my sub volume (definitely need a sub with bookshelf speakers). Now I have solid tight bass, a full midrange that isn't muddy or hollow, and crisp highs. The secret was to actually LOWER most of the EQ bands, which had been cranked up to make my previous speakers sound passable! Definitely worth the effort. Bottom line, don't buy into the negative reviews about the sound. Your system will likely need adjustment if you are going from lower end speakers to these but the effort will be seriously rewarded. I would not hesitate to recommend these. They are very reasonably priced for what you get.

    These speakers work very well for surround sound, I wouldn't trade them for anything else.
