Price Paid:  $140.00 from Hawthorne Stereo

Summary:
Very good inexpensive loudspeakers for a starter system or to replace the loudspeakers in a mini system. Great for surrounds!

Strengths:
highly musical low-end loudspeakers

Weaknesses:
sins of omission considering cost and size

Similar Products Used:
monitor audio, aegis one's, dunlavy, etc.

Summary:
Excellent for moderately to low priced surrounds, they are too small in size and range to use for digital systems but sound great for the £50.00 I paid. They are in a decent weight of case and putting them on a good solid stand or bracket helps makes a big difference to the bass response.
At 50 quid you can't really go that far wrong.

Strengths:
Clear and rich sound for the size and price

Weaknesses:
None as prologic surrounds, but too weak for main speakers. The front design is also a bit "plastic" close up, but overall the bevelled edges and charcoal finish looks pretty good.

Similar Products Used:
Jamo Sonic and
Sony surounds

Summary:
These small speakers are great for music and for home theater.The sound is clean and open.
