Price Paid:  $700.00 from Island Audio

Summary:
Well there is not much to say about these speakers short of WOW! Honestly I have never been so blown away by a set of bookshelf speakers. When I bought these speakers I managed to grab them at 30% off. Apparently they were worth about $800 MSRP. I highly recommend this product!

Strengths:
Incredible clarity and packs a punch for its size.

Weaknesses:
Not much to mention here. They are not meant for extremely loud music (as with most sub-$1000 speakers) but they were more than loud enough for my parties.

Summary:
A wonderful bookshelf speaker for someone who requires high-end performance and is willing to spend a little more. These were purchased in March of 1996 for $175/each. These speakers are powered in my system by a Denon AVR-900 and sound great. Due to the fact that I lie in an apartment I haven't been able to crank these as I would like yet, but soon enough they will be. They are mainly used for movies but occassionaly music.

Strengths:
Smaller size but pack alot of power. Great range of high's and lows.
