    At roughly 13" tall these things sound really good. Paired with a Polk center speaker and a Polk 10" subwoofer you can't go wrong. Price makes it even easier.

    Overall a good speaker for the price. Using them in an outdoor poolside bar/shed. Running them with the 25-watt Monoprice amp, plenty of clean, accurate sound with more than adequate lows for leisurely listening.

    This speaker pair was purchased as part of a theater system and I must say was a brighter part of the purchase and well worth the cost.

    Best value for a bookshelf w a 6.5” driver. Even if you use a sub, get these so you can crossover at a lower frequency.

    Specs vs Sound is important

    Based on the specs of these speakers, they should sound better than they do. Unfortunately the do not have the rich sound quality of a solid wood cabinet. There remind me of a boom box detachable speaker from the 80s. Best buy really needs to bring back listening rooms.
