Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I don't know why these speakers don't get more good reviews. They are awesome value - clear treble, warm mids, and a slightly boomy bass that you can listen to for hours.
Bi-amped you can use the bass speakers as a built in sub woofer and control the boom box aspect entirely. Better sounding than speakers twice the price when I auditioned them at the shop (I paid $800).
You need decent amplification power or they can sound a little brittle.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
IF YOU WANT TO TURN YOUR ROOM INTO A NIGHTCLUB..THEN THESE ARE FOR YOU.... UNBELIEVABLE CLARITY AND BASS EVEN AT HIGH VOLUMES... IVE HOOKED THESE UP WITH AN ONKYO HTR 550 AV RECIEVER.. AND THEY SOUND BETTER THAN A 5000$ A PAIR SPEAKER SYSTEM...

Strengths:
TERRIFIC BASS & TREBLE BALANCE
SOUND QUALITY IS EQUIVALENT TO HIGH END STUFF AT A TENTH THE PRICE...

Weaknesses:
THEY ARE A BIT BULKY
