Strength:

Good price, decent bass and highs

Weakness:

Weak midrange, a little harsh

Well, these are the first real speakers I got, when I was in high school I picked them up for $150 and thought they were great speakers! Now I'm older and wiser and have listened to a lot of speakers, and surprisingly these still sound decent today. They went to the dorm with me and rocked pretty good, and even now I'm use them as I shop for new speakers. I have them hooked up to very good electronics, a Rotel HDCD player and Rotel 100x2 integrated amp, and surprisingly they hold their own and put out good bass, and an overall decent sound at good volumes. These have really lasted and I've beaten the hell out of them for years, so I'm surprised they still sound decent. If you are looking for a decent stereo and are on a tight budget I would not hesitate to pick these up for under $150, but if possible invest in a decent amp/receiver. I had these hooked up to a Pioneer receiver and they sounded harsh and horrible, now hooked up to Rotel they are listenable. Great for the price, and overall a fairly musical and listenable speaker that will last. Great for high school and college dorm rooms, or perhaps for a bedroom or garage system that doesn't need to sound perfect.

Strength:

Very cheap, and they sound great

Weakness:

Big, hard to lug around

I dont know how anyone could think that these are bad speakers. I have an old pioneer receiver that sounds great, a sony discman for my cd player, and these speakers. Thats all i have for my stereo and i am very happy with all of this. The sound that you can get out of these speakers with a good receiver and cd player is incredible. My cd player isnt even very good, i need to get a REAL cd player, and im STILL vey happy with my system. These speakers can handle a lot of bass, and it sounds good too. Very impressive for not being subwoofers. But thats not all that is good about these speakers. The highs and mids sound very realistic. I think that the tweeters could be a little smoother, but overall they sound good. The mid's sound very good, the vocals are very smooth and accurate. Everything is sounds very accurate and clean. You can't complain too much about these, they only cost about 99 bucks and they sound THIS good. Ive had them for over a year and they're still playin strong. I reccommend them to anyone that lieks good speakers for cheap. Even people that only listen to high end stuff know that these are still very good speakers for their price range. They'll play pretty damn loud too. The bad thing is, if you try to play them TOO loud they start sounding bad, but thats expected for 99 bucks! Great value. 4 stars just because there IS better.

Strength:

Cheap, Good Range

Weakness:

Muddy sound

I purchased a pair of SB-LX50's for about $80 at a Panasonic outlet store in Chicago. I use them with a Denon AVR-900 receiver. They are good speakers for the price. I am most impressed by their range, they seem to reflect the highs and lows well... They are definitely a lower grade speaker however, and the sound is "muddy" and not very distinct. I am planning on upgrading, but until then these speakers will do.

If you are looking for value check these speakers out... but definitely listen to others before you buy.

Strength:

Bass extension, price, decent looks when you take the grill off.

Weakness:

Spring clips for connection, it's kinda big, it doesn't look as good as my Definitive Technology towers, but they cost more.

I am pretty satisfied with these speakers, I run them through a Bang & Olufsen BeoCenter 7007 in a second room. The other speakers are run through an Onkyo receiver. These speakers are pretty good because my house has a somewhat open floorplan and they are in the living room, and it is nice to hear them in the kitchen while cooking. I would probably have bought smaller speakers if I knew they would end up in the living room, but they were initially used with a TV. I would consider speakers with binding posts, it will be easier on your speaker wires, but I don't know if you'll find them at tprice

I purchased these speakers as a start-up for my home theater, thinking to eventually make them satellite. Now, after having them for about a week, I'm more convinced now that they'll be better off as a pair of sat. speakers and not the front ones. And the reason is not in their power -- arround 70W is more than plenty for my relatively small living room. It's the quality of sound that forces me to make the aforementioned decision.
The SB-LX50 produce a decent sound overall. Moreover, it varies with type of music played. But the bass is slightly boomy, "spread" somewhat too thin, and they lack tightness of bass that I like. The mids can be quite tiresome. Highs are nice most of the time but may occasionally be a little artificial.

These speakers are not for descriminating ears. They're as much "consumer level" as any CE product can be. And that being a fact, one must take the price into consideration as much as possible. Having paid around $100 for a pair, I can't complain much.

Recently, I talked to a friend who had these speakers set as satellites and was overall very pleased with their perfomance. I listened to his system later which consisted of AR 11 fronts, giving a very clean and powerful sound. SB-LX50's perfomance in that setting was very smooth.

Overall rating: four stars.

Strength:

The LX-50's are a great speaker for the price and produce plenty of bass needed to get everyone in your house to complain.

Weakness:

The sound could be a little more clear then what it is, but they aren't like those $1,500 speakers, where the sound is crystal clear.

If you're looking for an inexpensive pair of speakers with a lot of bass, sound pretty good, and are well worth $100 each, these will do. Technics aren't like all the other 100 dollar speakers you see that you've never even heard of, they are pretty popular and will last for a while.

I also have a pair of 12 inch DCM's, although I can't remember what model.
