    Initially tried these speakers with the WiiM x Martin Logan bundle, and I gotta say the sound was pretty good for the price. These are definitely worth checking out if you are in the market for some bookshelf speakers.

    I paired these with a couple of much bigger Martin Logan floor speakers and a sub. In that arrangement, they sound wonderful.

    These speakers are great sounding, but a lottle thin for my liking. These are 5 ohm speakers that drop down onto the 3's so make sure you have an AVR that can handle them.

    They sound ok, not crazy about the finish. I guess I’m just spoiled by the higher end ML. P.s, they are made in china.

    My husband and I are both in love with these speakers! We were looking at TVs last weekend in our local Best Buy, and we heard these speakers playing nearby. We were both amazed at how good some relatively small bookshelf speakers could sound! We couldn’t resist and ended up buying a pair to go in our living room configuration that includes both a TV and a turntable. Got them hooked up yesterday, and WOW! Compared to the old Samsung soundbar and sub we had for the TV and the Edifier R1280T speakers I was using for the turntable, these speakers blow both out of the water. They just have such a rich and full sound! However, we can already see that we’re going to need a subwoofer to really make them shine best. We have a 14x16 living room with 10 foot vaulted ceiling though, so we already figured we would need one. In a smaller room with typical ceiling height, I think these speakers could work fine on their own! Build quality is outstanding, and they look just fantastic. I really like that we could use banana plug speaker wires with them. Made it super easy to connect to our Marantz NR1510 receiver.
