Summary:
I have been using S1's of one version or another for the past 13 years. Currently I have 3 as LCR in my home theater with SS500's as surrounds and 2 MX 200's. The sound is simply amazing. You should realy audition these as not only a music only system, but for home theater use as well. I have auditioned literally hundreds of potential replacement speakers in the past decade but keep going back to the S1's.

Summary:
These speakers are truly amazing in several aspects. The soundstade is open, the imaging is crisp, and they reproduce music like no other speaker I've ever heard in the sub-$15000 range. They DO however need a subwoofer.....they only play to 77hz...but alas, they are sealed. I am truly impressed by the overall quality of this speaker, it has turned my favor from NHT to M&K...

Strengths:
