Summary:
I have had numerious speakers in my lifetime and these are the best i have ever had i like base in my music and i have all seven speakers that are the same brand and people come over and watch movies and they say its better than the theater. When i purchased them they told me that i didn't have tohave a sub woofer but i got one any way and im glad i did . I also have a Pioneer VSX-84 TXSi and what a difference , I guess you get what you pay for, i have allways had Pioneer products and will never change that they rock, and usually change them out every other year but after paying 1500.00 for the reciver i think i will keep it for longer. Also have a power cleaner with them .

Strengths:
They have the best base, good clean sound ,the best i have ever had.

Weaknesses:
hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm i find no weaknesses

Summary:
I've had these speakers for the last 8 or 9 years........and I still LOVE them, and still use them in my home theatre. Very reliable, never had a problem. Sound is CRISP and clear. They look discreet compared to other more eye-catching products.....but the delivery of the sound is top-knotch.

They lasted through 3 adress changes (a fourth in a couple weeks), a couple girlfriends and now......2 kids and still, I love them every time a get a chance to listen to them.

Strengths:
They look delicate but fear not, they ARE robust. Great quality (parts, speakers and casing) and look discreet in the corners.

They're my first try in bipolar desings and I don't regret it a bit. I don't consider them as an money spent......but as an investment.

The bipolar strenght is giving big sound with little speakers. If it's either a movie or a live concert your listening, the sound coloring is exquisite.

Weaknesses:
They lack a little sound detailing (compared to a friend's Mirage speakers) but still, they sound near perfect.

Summary:
Bought bp10s used from seller at audioreview.com. Since he lived in SF Bay Area, he delivered to my apt bldg doorstep. These spkrs are my first outing with bipolar design, and I have to say I am postively impressed. Before I have mostly used mini-monitor or bookshelf type speakers. These are sonically as good as my great big ESS Heil floor standing speakers. Small footprint makes them much easier to place in my small apt which is a large studio floorplan. Plus the extra little wooden side feet make speaker stability better. I listen to classical/jazz, plus the dvd movie soundtracks of various movies. Music sounds fine across the frequency spectrum, with vivid communication of tonal balances/instrument or vocal timbres. This suggest the midrange drivers are keeping up with the tweeter. I like the larger soundstage quite a bit, and even stereo movie replay is very involving. The sound fills the room space dramatically while maintaining clear enough imaging that you don't lose the left to right or back to front sense of dispersion. High efficiency means these spkrs get plenty loud even with modest (but good clean)power. I don't feel a subwoofer is actually required for music; and not even for movies. LFE will only get my neighbors pounding on my door, as it stands, and I don't even have to crank it up that much now to get a compelling sense of most recorded performances. If you can only afford a stereo system for movie soundtracks, these spkrs have to be a first round option to investigate, if only because of their excellent sound quality with a widely projected stereo image. Eventually, I moved the bp10s to be the back channels of my growing surround system. Truth is, a stereo pair was almost enough to make me forgo the multichannel idea.

Strengths:
Excellent reproduction of high, mid, low frequency music, especially classical and jazz. Keywords: accurate, detailed, musical. Captures/conveys instrument and voice textures and timbres very vividly and sweetly. Small footprint takes up minimal floorspace for floor standing sprkrs. Solid value, bought new. WOW value, bought used. Easily fired by even lower power, provided you connect solid clean electronics at whatever levels.

Weaknesses:
Maybe not the best spkrs for big rock or lowfi thrash. but then again, on some movie soundtracks the thump has been gripping, all right.
