Immersive Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paired these speakers with a tube amplifier and record player, and the sound is so clear and warm that I get immersed in songs for hours. Very crisp, I am no audiophile but my ears love these.

Great speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to replace my older and smaller front surround speakers. They sound great much clearer than my older and smaller Sony speakers that I bought 6 years ago. Attached to my STR-1080 Sony receiver.
I would recommend this to a friendGood clear sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are using these as surround speakers mounted on our wall with "dual slide clamping bookshelf speaker wall mounting bracket" by Wali purchased elsewhere online. These speakers really bring the surround sound to another level compared to our old set.

Hard to beat for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, these are Very Hard to Beat. I compared them to Klipsch RP-500M and Elac Debut 6.2. The Klipsch and Elac were better overall, but tough to tell without a direct comparison. At about $120, these are great.

Smooth sound

Excellent Value

Punch above the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using these speakers in a home theater as the front left and right and these speakers punch way above what their price suggests. I can't comment on the bass response since I use a dedicated subwoofer but I am impressed with the speakers
