I bought one of these on Ebay, and have been very happy using it in a 3 speaker setup. I have tried 5 speaker setups too, but the extra effects don't convince my wife, so it's 3 for now. Anyway, this is clean, apparently neutral compared to my other speakers, Monitor Audio Monitor 9's, and works wonderfully with the Arcam AVR300 amp. I can't claim too much for it, as the one I bought has an intermittent connection problem on the tweeter, so it may not be in perfect condition, but with the occasional thump on the front, it portrays speech very naturally. I have the amp set the crossover to only send frequencies over 120Hz to the front, as there is no need to send bass to this speaker.
