Summary: I purchased these a couple months ago at a local Goodwill store for 30 bucks. My brother in law is a big audio and sound guy, and he said these were good. These are my first real nice speakers for my room and let me say these are loud! I purchased a $30 sherwood receiver off craigslist and it pumps out power! The 10 inch subs are loud. You can feel it in the walls all over the house, and my house has thick walls. I am very happy with my purchase. Hope this helps!

Summary: I bought those speakers from craigslist and they sound decent! They are not the greatest but they are not and the worse. Good speakers with some bass and good highs. They got some power but not much for my amplifier Kenwood! With 2 words good 2 way speakers.

Summary: i bought these speakers in late 1999 / early 2000. i'm not an audiophile by any means, so don't get my review wrong here. what i heard was fine. the bass was low enough, the treble was high enough. i mean, what do you expect for about a hundred bucks? not much, i'd assume, so i'll leave it at that. but what i liked is that when i hooked them up, i didn't think "these speakers are crap." i thought, "these sound great." (the first CD i listened to, by the way, was Faith No More's "Album of the Year".)
so try and listen to them before you buy. of course, by now you'd be buying used ("now" is 06/22/03). i don't think you'd be paying much more than $60/pr, so just go for it if you like the way it sounds. after all, for $60 or less, you could put them in your dog's luxury doghouse and not even blink twice. who cares. i don't.
Strengths: my mom said "turn it down"
Weaknesses: i bought a warranty for them and didn't need it

Summary: I've had them for 7 or 8 years, so I got plenty of use out of them. the sound quality isn't too bad. I'm happy with them. I have surround sound, a high quality pioneer sx-838 reciever, and a 10-band dual eq, so all that helps the sound of them.
my technics speakers are 140 watts each. the manual for my vintage pioneer sx-838 says it's 50 watts. sometime in the past few months, I blew out the woofer in the one speaker. pioneer made some great stereo's back in the 70's and 80's. I have a 1000 watt sub in a cerwin-vega box, with a 400 watt kenwood car amp on a 1200 watt home made power supply, all sitting right next to that speaker, so I don't even knotice the difference.
Strengths: cheap. not too bad of sound quality, but well worth the 8 years I got out of them.

Summary: these speakers arent that great. i would not reccomend them. i blew one of the tweeters, and the woofers are quite pathetic. there is NO midrange. what do you expect? there is a big farking 10" woofer and a dinky tinny tweeter!!
BARF!!!!
they look nice though!
the speakers really though, are very chincy. i took them apart to see them, the magnet on the woofer must have only been 10 oz.! very cheap and chincy.
Strengths: cost
Weaknesses: sound
