from online discount reta Summary: I bought this to as part of my secondary system to be used in a relatively small room, and to be paired with a an Outlaw LFM2 subwoofer. I am using the Gallo A'diva stands. When I first bought them they didn't sound great, nasally, not very pleasant and constricted. The manual indicates that they need approx 50 hours of break in time - and sure enough right about 50 hours later of break in these little marvels bloomed to life. I've read a full review for them on 6 moons where John Potis basically says that its hard not to love these things for being so small, so inexpensive, and so fantastic. They really are a fanastic speaker, I love listening to music on them, amazingly detailed, coherent, boxless, colorless transparent type of speaker. Easy to fall in love with these - I did long ago. Sure they are not floor standing, totally full range, no compromise speakers but for what they are the value is incredible. I just find myself looking forward to listening to all kinds of music on these - and they are very satisfying in almost every way to listen to and so flexible as far as being able have great sound even in a space confined small room. Proof that so called "lifestyle" oriented audio gear can sound fantastic and have as much or more fidelity as 'life consuming' sized speakers... Strengths: Transparency, coherency (no crossover!) single driver, imaging, tone, musicality, value. Weaknesses: Not the best top end but what do youe expect from such a feat of speaker design that is a single driver that has has frequency response to 20khz? It sounds fine, just not top flight like a dedicated tweater but this is in my opinion almost irrelevant considering the complete musical 'package' that this speaker offers.
