    Used for surround sound. Look and sound great especially for the price. The universal wall mound did not work and needed to order thru Amazon but all is good. Great alternative to small surround speakers.

    Connected these to my vintage Marantz receiver and Technics turntable and the sound is amazing. It really helps bring out the sound of my favorite amp for listening to music.

    Audiophile YouTubers rave about these speakers. Had to try them out for $114. AMAZING. Seriously a great-sounding speaker for the money.

    Our den speakers went out and I had to run down to Best Buy and was going to buy another pair that were less expensive and the salesman guided me to these for just 30 dollars more and well worth. Easy to install and sound great

    Got the on sale for half off. You can’t beat that price point. So far I’ve mostly listened to music having them paired with an SVS pb-1000 pro and I’m blown away.

    Better than expected sound. Maybe a little light on the low end but that's to bee expected with the size of the woofer. Highly recommend. Maybe use with a subwoofer system.

    A lot of gear heads seemed to review these with a decent tone of admiration; that’s why I bought these. Klipsch speakers which cost more are comparable to these. Bang for your buck. Smooth even sound.

    These are great in the garage! I have them connected to a wireless Rocketfish system to my Marantz SR5014! They probably sound even better connected directly to a good amp.
