Price Paid:  $350.00 from Retravision, Alice S

Summary:
I have been play and recording music for the past thirty years.... needed a "quality" pair of speakers.... went to the local shop and found these... listened and was happy to throw the cash at the salesman and get home! Bang for buck.. these are terrific value! Clean highs, plenty of midrange, and clean solid bottom end! For acoustic, jazz and blues, these speakers handle it all with true fidelity. I am yet to have a audio enthusiast friend come around to visit and not comment on how great they sound... and what good value they are :-) For theatre surround, you really don't need a sub-woofer!

Strengths:
Excellent value! Very good sound quality/ fidelity! Very efficient... little in... plenty out!!

Weaknesses:
For the money.... nothing! Christ what do you expect for $350US! Probably their reactance with srrounding walls... you need to play with them a bit to get the optimum location.

Summary:
Bought them over a year ago, because I wanted speakers that would work out fine with house music as well as pop,rock,opera etc. Can be a bit "boomy" when placed close to the walls, but otherwise are pretty ok.

Strengths:
Powerfull sound, no need for subwoofer in home cinema setup.

Weaknesses:
no biwire-terminals
