Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $500.00

Summary:
These have got to be the most overrated speakers in history. I was a sucker for over a decade, listening to my little bose cubes on the wall. When I finally got real speakers, Monitor Audio Mag 903s (used for $700) I was shocked at all the music I was missing and promptly gave away my Bose boxes of nothing. Anyone who loves these have just not awoken like I have. Only wish I did it sooner!

Strengths:
small

Weaknesses:
overpriced, no midrange or real bass.

Similar Products Used:
Infinity Entra (much better surround system)
Monitor Audio
ROR

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
