Review 2 of 4 Summary: (This review is for the DCM OW-1) After reading so many positive reviews on these DCM's, I decided to give them a try, and I wasn't disappointed. They work perfectly for my rear surrounds, and do a great job in creating an ambient soundfield. If you're going to use them in your system, you will need a subwoofer in order to compliment the "high's" projected from these speakers. The first movie I tried the speakers with was "Poltergeist." The particular scene I wanted to listen to was the one where the father is up in the bedroom with his children teaching them to count how far away the lightning is. The recreation of the thunder and the rain in the background was great; the crackling of the thunder was very clear and concise. I mounted them to the walls on either side of my sofa, and then to the back wall to see which way the tripolar design seemed to work best. After going back and forth, the surround effect seemed less easy to place when the speakers were mounted in back of me. I like more of an ambient sound from my surrounds instead of the "in-your-face" effect like a lot of people do. The only real problem/complaint I have about the speakers is that there's no indentation or spacing on the rear of the speaker to run the wire through. As a result of this, if you're not running the speaker wire through the wall, these speakers will not sit flush with your wall. I'm really glad I happened upon these speakers, I'd be hard-pressed to find a better value for the money. I got mine on Ebay for only $90, (new) and I've seen some for sale cheap on various internet sights. If you can find these DCM's, buy them, you won't regret it. Strengths: Great sound for such a small package. They work perfectly for ambient reproduction. Weaknesses: There isn't room on the rear of the speaker to lay the wire through. Similar Products Used: Infinity surrounds.
