    These speakers replaced some older Infinity models. Granted they didn't have as much bass as my Infinity's, but they still sound good.

    I used these bookshelf speakers in 3.1.2 until I fixed my towers and they’re brighter, louder and overall more detailed than my Andrew Jones Pioneer floorstanders. It kind of upsetting but understandable lol. Now I need Klipsch floorstanders.

    Purchased to adapt existing home theater system to new home with built-in shelving around the living room big screen. Great dialogue definition and meaty bass response for a speaker this size.

    Great cheap speaker for desktop pc use. Im using these with a powered sub but even solo they are more than plenty for most. Bass output is actually quite surprising for what it is.

    These small bookshelf speakers really pour out a big big soundstage in spite of their small size. And they are very efficient so they don't need a ton of power.
