Excellent speakers
(5 out of 5) by 32 coupe on Oct 13, 2009 (Galt, Ca)I purchased these speakers based soley on Amazon and other reviews. I never listened to them in a store. The reviews were right on the money. These speakers sound great, much better with a sub-woofer, although alone they don't sound bad either. I would highly recommend these speakers great value as well as aesthetically pleasing.
amazing price, amazing sound
(5 out of 5) by cyeh on Sep 27, 2009 (NY, NY United States)I have done extensive research before my purchase, and I got a pair of these from J&R for 199 each. I'm extremely pleased with the amazing sound. The most impressive thing to me is that I could listen at extremely low volumes and hear everything completely clearly.
BTW, it is about 16 inches deep including the front grill. Well, I wish they don't stick out from the wall that much, but I could certainly overlook that because of the beautiful sound quality. I highly recommend these.

Best investment for me
(5 out of 5) by Ama on Sep 25, 2009 (NY)I never expected the sound quality surpassed all I thought before purchasing.
With Monotor 70 as front speakers, monior 50 as surrounding speakers and CS1 as center speaker. The music is so moving and touching, bass and treble is JUST adequate, no more no less, super clear treble, mellow base, best investment for me.

Classical Music
(5 out of 5) by Peter R. Van Lengen on Sep 18, 2009 (Margate, FL United States)Outstanding sound. Orchestral music is reproduced so well that you think you're sitting in the best seat in the concert hall. Every section and every soloist is realistically reproduced with crystal clear sound. These speakers need at least a 100 watt amplifier. SACD's sound magnificent! At this price these speakers can't be beaten.
Loss Leader of High Quality
(5 out of 5) by Charles V. Ream on Jul 9, 2009 (USA)If you set out to search for the best possible speaker for the least amount of money, you will most likely be seeing a lot of this model. The ability to bi-amp is a nice feature, especially at this price point.
I purchased these as my first set of floor-standing speakers, and they sound so rich that the lossy part of my music collection is highly discernible from the rest. Luckily for me, it is because my high end audio sources sound exponentially better.
When your playing Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio sources, the fidelity difference over the digital standard reminds me of the first time I listened to a CD. Live music performances are especially enjoyable.
You will need an equally capable sub woofer, but that is a given and doesn't detract from these speakers.
I would recommend these to everyone, but if your concerned at all by sound quality, these really need a decent receiver with the latest formats and a good sub. Worth every penny.
