Balanced sound that's very clean. Suitable for surrounds, either in direct or dipole mode but as fronts unless you use them with a sub, they do decent for music. Actually for music these are the best sounding out of other HT speakers of the same price range.

Lack of bass when used as fronts but it's designed for integration with a sub. Highs can be more crisp but it's really a matter of preference.

Very unusual design that's very versatile depending on your room configuration. The sound while it doesn't excel in anything is well balanced and very clean. I read somewhere that the guys who made these in Pioneer were from Polk and they had a goal to make a speaker with the least amount of cabinet vibration or something like that. I think they've achieved that goal.
