Using these as the main speakers for a 5.1 system in my living room for watching TV. (Flat screen TV speakers are horrible) Currently they're paired with a Yamaha 444 Center channel that I attached to the TV in place of the stand mount and some DCM in wall rear surrounds and an Infinity Entra Sub. Definitely sounds better than any HT In a Box system I've heard. Using a Pioneer VSX1018AK reciever as a processor with the pre outs to a Yamaha RX-V1 doing the workload through a Niles speaker selector. (we also have a projector and different speakers in the same room)

I only use them for watching TV and the occasional DVD and I have another system that I use for movies and listening to music, but for what I purchased them for, they're perfect and looking at the components they should last. The big plus is that my wife is happy that we don't have even more speakers in the living room.
