They can get loud without really complaining. ( with 135W @ 8 ohms. ) Bang for the Buck. ( V3 )

Ok/good Bass, only because I just bit the bullet on a pair of Studio Reference 100's ( V2's , 2 x8" woofer's ) or I would have givin' them a 5. ( actually 4.7 ) Depends what you're used to, what you've heard before or owned in the past. Nothing to complain about. Using them as surrounds now. Great.
