from frys Summary:
the other review is from someone who has a tin ear, doesnt own s50s, never REALLY listened to good speaks, or all the above. The status line of AR speakers were top notch when they were in manufacture. sound is exceptional, good bass for a 6.12 inch woofer (need a sub) but a very clean and clear sound, the midranges are slightly colored, a bit bright. take the treble down to -1 or -2 and they are right on. Ive owned bose b/w polk JBL wharfedales over the years and these were the best. Wharfedale Emeralds a close second. If you find a set of thes for under 500 snatch em up.. will match sound with most $2k speakers on the market. Strengths:
Very good alround speaker for home or HT use Weaknesses:
a tad bright in the mid... easily correctible. Similar Products Used:
35 yrs of audio.. gone thru lots of the name brands.. actually still own the s50s after 4 yrs (just about a record for me) they just are too sweet to part with. and not willing to go $2000 any more for a set of speakers when there are some excellent alternatives for under a grand.
