Outstanding bass for a bookcase speaker.

Very good midrange and high frequency also.

Summary:
I have only had these speakers for two days and I am already blown away by the clarity and bass from bookshelf speakers!
I have not even broken them in yet and they are already awesome I can't wait until they are broken in and really open up! I have had infinity studio monitors for my surrounds for a long time. I finally decided to buy new surrounds with subwoofers in them to really take advantage of dolby digital and dts. I played the shooting spree on the matrix and the pod race on phantom menace and Both me and my parents were blown away by the sound. I have watch these two scenes many times but this time I heard things I never did before. The bass is very tight and hard hitting. when the bullets hit in the shooting spree I felt as if I was being hit! You get a real experience with these speakers. Also music is very full and tight. I am immpress and recommend these to anyone who wants the real experience

Strengths:
clarity and strong tight bass

Weaknesses:
They are very heavy weighing 50lb. each
you have to have a very sturdy place to put them.
