Price Paid:  $80.00 from circuit city

Summary:
Outstanding speakers. Period. These were stacked up against Bose DCM and Infinity comparables among others. They sounded better than the Bose which cost triple what these did. Not quite as good as the Infinity though but for half the price you can't go wrong.

Strengths:
Fantastic speaker for surround satellites.

Weaknesses:
Base response, but you don't buy speakers with a 5" driver for base.

Price Paid:  $30.00 from flea market

Summary:
These speakers work extremely well as near field studio monitors. For acoustic music, just plug the bass ports and you get a natural sounding acoustic bass. I bought them because they looked good. Took them in my studio and hooked them up beside my other nearfield monitors and they sounded so great, I now use them.

Strengths:
Superb imaging, exceptional tweeter.

Weaknesses:
None for their size.

Weaknesses:
Bass is a little weak.

Summary:
I picked this pair up at Circuit City for $80 when I started out in Home theater. I originally used them as my front stereo speakers because I was on a budget, but after a few months realized they would be much more effective as rear surround speakers. They produce great mid-range tones. Overall it was $80 well spent.

Strengths:
Very good as a rear surround speaker

Weaknesses:
Can't handle a lot of bass.

Summary:
Its a great pair of speakers for the price. I bought them for 60 bucks but retail around 125 a piece and are worth it considering the quality of sound

Strengths:
High pitched sounds are perfect.

Weaknesses:
Cannot handle too much bass.
