Summary:
These speakers are a good buy for the money. I have them in a system with 2 PS215s for surround, a CS215 center, and the PS112 sub. The sub pulls everything together. The sound is really great in theater and stereo modes. Tweeter not quite as bright as I'd like, and the midrange is a little depressed, but overall very impressive. I'm using these in a 20x20' room, which is way bigger than these speakers' intended purpose, but they do a great job. I'm very happy with the purchase, and for their size, I'd say Paradigm is the only other option I'd consider in this price range (and they cost more)! Heavy cabinets, good construction quality, binding posts(!), and very clean sound make these speakers a buy at this price.

Strengths:
Price/quality ratio. Flatter response.

Weaknesses:
Tweeter, lack of midrange, sub nice to add
