from Best Buy Summary:
I am a slf-avowed connoseur of reasonably proced speakers. These little speakers are simply the best in their size ad price range out there- period. I actually use them more for music than home theater and a stereo set with a good sub do a wonderful job. Don't mess with the Athena sub they recommend for these, intead, buy a good sub and these will sound as good as some $1000 speaers out there. The secret is Athena's development department.
The issue is that many expensive speakers like are reviewed in Stereophile come woth issues that have to be tamed by expensive equipment ($10,000 CD players anyone?). These were made to sound good with even crappy $300 receivers. I gladly use them with a $2500 receiver and they sound as good or better than my $2K speakers.... Strengths:
Sound as good as many expensive speakers. These are made by a REAL speaker company unlike a bunch of Chinese speakers out there that you only think are your favorite electronic company's. It is ALL ABOUT THE SOUND! Weaknesses:
They are not made to replace PA speakers and can't play at a million db, but real speakers aren't desinged for that. Similar Products Used:
I am a speaker lover- if it's been made, I've probably used it. However, the best remains the cheap speakers that out perform some of the expensive ones- like these. I'd give 'em a 9- star rating if I could.
