OVERPRICED at Amazon! - much better now!! 06/1009
(5 out of 5) by j.m. on Sep 27, 2007 (Chicago, IL United States)Excellent product, but Amazon has over priced it at $149. Look elsewhere for better pricing.
06/2009 - The price at Amazon is much better now. I've been using a pair for the back channels in a 5.1 home theater setup (all the speakers are BIC). The sound is good and are small enough to be unobtrusive. The remaining home theater speakers are BIC as well and all sound great! I had one BIC speaker (SV52SIB) fail, and BIC's customer support took care of it by sending me a replacement speaker which I was able to replace myself. And BIC is very reachable and willing to answer pre-sale questions.

You get what you pay for
(2 out of 5) by P. Tworek on Nov 16, 2009 (Miami, FL)I used them for my back surround speakers, but not for long. They just weren't up to the task. They lack clarity and frequency response is rather limited, thanks to the 3.5" driver. They're OK if you really can't accomodate anything larger, but overall I'd say they're a waste of money.
Far better than typical computer speakers
(4 out of 5) by B. Borgerson on Oct 7, 2009 (Ashland, OR United States)For years I've been suffering as I tried to listen to music through cheap, self-powered computer speakers. Nothing I tried was much good. With my setup I have room for a re-purposed Technics 100W receiver, but no good place for speakers, which really have to fit up on the windowsill. My little Polk Audio bookshelfs -- an even better value -- just don't fit. So I went looking for something smaller, but still high quality, for under $75. Well, there ain't much. This was about it. Fortunately, it's working out very well. Smooth, full sound. Decent bass. Really better than I'd expected for the size. It's an acoustic suspension design (not ported), so it's not particularly efficient. I'd suggest 50W per channel if you want solid bass. Overall, I'm much happier now, whether listening to local FM, Internet radio or I-tunes.
Good Bang for Small Bucks
(4 out of 5) by R. Broadhead on Jan 6, 2009 (Brooklyn, WI United States)I bought these speakers for the front channels of a 3.1 theater system. I may move them to the rear later because they are quite small but they certainly perform well for $50!
Great For The Price....
(5 out of 5) by Bruce on Nov 14, 2008 (Delray Beach, FL United States)I'm pleased with the speakers performance for the price... The size is perfect for my stands. I use them for watching TV and movies.
