    I upgraded from an old pair of RCAs. Very happy with the performance of these. Plenty of clarity and decent low end for their size.

    The speakers weren't bad and I see why people like them. Everything through the horns was very clean and clear but I felt as if they were actually loosing detail to reach this sound. They aren't bad speakers, they just aren't for me with my current setup.
