Bottom Line: Good small Home Theator speaker. Not a good choice for classical, jazz or even folk rock. There is just no taming this metal tweeter.

Bottom Line: So I bought these speakers without hearing them, and almost didn't - I heard a set of Paradigm Atoms and thought they were the greatest....until I got them home and listened to them in my house - they just didn't fill the room. I talked to Mark and Accessories4Less and he recommended the AR15 for fronts and AR17 for rear speakers - the best decision I could have ever made - these speakers tied to my Marantz SR7000 sound fabulous - even got the wife seal of approval!
The 17s are very strong for surrounds and would be ok for fronts as well - just make sure you have a sub handy as they don't produce the low end as well as a tower would.
The green tweeter is a cool effect as well - so I'm running a AR4C center - the AR15/17 setup and a PR1212 for a sub.
Buy these if you get the chance - you won't regret it - they aren't as bright as the 17s but they do have the same soundstage and if you like bright tinny speakers then you shouldn't be getting these - go buy some Bose crap if you want high and tinny.
Good luck!

Bottom Line: Good sound for the price. But not up there with the likes of B&W, or other english speakers.
American speakers have a different sound - more slam than british speakers.
Sound better with my Philips stereo amp than my Yamaha AV amp. Although the Yamaha amp costs much more than the Philips.
I also have KLH, Altec Lansing (20years old), and JBL TLX speakers. The Ar17 can match up to them in terms of sonics.

Bottom Line: These blow away my old surround sound speakers. I can actually hear stuff now with out actually trying to listen for the noise.
Great speaker for the price.
Again if you are on a budget but want a great speaker set up go AR Hi Res.

A/V Kenwood (upgrading soon)
