I'm suprised that these speakers haven't been reviewed before. I bought these speakers approx. 2 years ago and have been totally pleased. I auditioned them against B&W(I have two of their ASW-200 subwoofers), Paradighm, Atlantic Technology, Definitive Technology, and many others. These speakers proved to be vastly superior. For home theater I use the B&W subs, but for two channel music the speakers are pure bliss. The best compliment I can give is this- I LOVE to buy new "toys", but after listening to many new speakers, I always come back to these. You'll never see mine for sale in the Marketplace section.
