    I needed two sets of these for my home office and business office--they were on sale at the time of purchase, and the build quality, finish, and sound quality is excellent. They are not too big, or too small.

    Awesome sounding speakers in a small package. My stereo is a bit underpowered for the lows so i purchased a subwoofer to make up on the low end. Great for a small office.

    After listening to a variety of speakers in the Best Buy theater room we chose these speakers for our true home surround system and couldn't be happier. They have the perfect balance of top and bottom end. I absolutely love the sound and is so true that it even tricks my dogs into thinking something is really going on. I absolutely recommend and would definitely purchase again

    This an amazing speaker! I own some B&W 606 I use in the family room and are great but the perfect highs & lows from the 15i are truly AMAZING! Never thought I would purchase an open box but bought the ones on the floor that had been there a year and they are in beautiful shape and completely blow doors on my B&Ws. You won't regret buying these as the sound experience on every type of music and movie I sampled was something you have to experience to believe.

    The. Best. Ever. I'm watching movies and shows and listening to music all over again. I heard things I never heard before and my old speakers weren't that bad. But these take sound to an entirely higher level. Superior quality and the set up and balancing takes a few minutes but believe me take the time to do it right. Incredible sound. Off the charts!

    Amazing clarity of sound. Just play your favorite piano song to hear just how well these speakers reproduce the harsh bang of the string hammer without distortion. Mind blown!

    I bought two of these plus a MartinLogan - Motion 4" 90-Watt Passive 2-Way Center-Channel Speaker - Gloss black for my TV (an LG). The sound is outstanding, especially the center speaker, which accentuates the dialog on the TV. The LG speakers are far inferior.

    Sound quality is very impressive. Smaller footprint works well on bookshelf or in entertainment unit. Rich Red Walnut color if you're looking for a relief from all black.

    Amazing sound from a speaker so small. A bit pricey for what you get at full price, but very cost-effective if you can wait for a sale.
