I have not yet heard these speakers as we speak - but I owned a very comparable pair of Polk Audios a while back (may be one step higher) and experienced something that I think is worth mentioning. I had a pair of Polk Audios and had them placed high on a bookshelf which one of my cats knocked over (after owning them for not more than a year) and one of the tweeters was damaged. I bought them at Circuit City with a Sony stereo system. Anyway, I calledd Polk Audio to find out if the speakers were covered by my purchased insurance and without proof of purchase or proof of time owned they shipped me a replacement tweeter (free overnight FedEx). I am a true believer in customer service and they were the BEST!!!

Great for low cost speaker. They work fine with my home theater and just as good to listen to music with.

This is a great set of speakers for the price. They are nice and clear. They sound good at low and high volumes. They are light weight so they will mount on the wall nicely. Like all book shelf speakers they aren't bass monsters but they do sound alright playing music. But, to get the most out of these, match them is a small sub (I have a older Yamaha sub, and the newer version is still only about a hundred dollars). I was nervous after I purchased these, I didn't know if I would be disappointed with the sound or maybe if I should have gone and bought something at the local store instead so that I could hear before I bought, but lucky for me they sound great and I was very happy with this purchase!

An extraordinary value. I am using these speakers in a bedroom setup with an old Sherwood receiver and a Sony CD player. The midrange is as sweet as any I have heard at any price, and that covers most of the music I listen to in the bedroom. Of course you wouldn't play the Berlioz Requiem on these little speakers, but for vocal music, chorales, and chamber music, they are remarkably satisfying. I recommend them highly.

The clarity is really impressive for a speaker this size and price. It goes without saying that it will lack the bass of a larger model, but it's a superior quality sound. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
