i bought a pair of these for $500 and it has to be the best thing i've ever bought. i've had them for a year and a half and they are still sounding phenomenal to me. For the price range these are in, you can't do better! The sound stage i think is fantastic, great mids, and potent bass for mains. I went without having a sub for a year before i got a infinity csw-10 which really sums up the extension these deliver. A very very nice buy.

i got the cherry btw which i think look better

These are truly some of the best tower loudspeakers available, I tested a lot of speakers that cost twice as much as these and you will get great quality sound and range from these speakers. They can handle a lot of power and have never broken a sweat so far. They truly can stand toe to toe with some of the best out there.

After going to all the high end audio stores and listening to numerous speaker systems connected to the same Amp I have - speakers that ranged from $500.00 to $2000.00 each, found these Beta 50's priced at 500.00 a piece and they blew most all others away. But I was not ready to spend $1000.00 for a set of them then I found a set of Them for 500.00 - I snapped them up and been happy ever since. These sound alot better then most of the more expensive ones and were the best deal I have come across in a long time. I have a set of these for my fronts and a set of Bose 601's on the back and well I am in sound heaven....

I bought these speakers about three months ago at this amazing price. I am extremely happy with the sound quality; other reviewers aren't exaggerating when they say these speakers perform like thousand dollar speakers.

I love the range, the mids are very punchy and accurate. The highs are also very accurate as well. I am pushing these speakers with a Sony STR-DG1000 Receiver. I like that model because it has two hdmi inputs and an output and I can route all of my hi-def stuff through it for a great price. It sounds remarkable too.

I have these towers accompanied by the Infinity Primus PC350 Center channel, and a Sony SA-WM250 powered sub. I have two Sony cheepo satellite speakers for the rears.

I use the system for about 50% music 50% home theater. PS3 games and Blu-rays sound mindblowing. If I crank the volume past 5 db the walls shake and I feel sorry for the neighbors. This setup looks perfect surrounding my 100" projection screen, but these speakers might look a little too big if your screen is any smaller than the mid 40" range. I have heard many reviewers say that you don't really need a sub to go with these but I disagree. They do sound adequate without one but they do not have enough boom for my taste. (I listen to a lot of hip-hop and R&B and I like to FEEL the explosions in movies).

Bottom line is I have never seen better speakers for anywhere near this price range.

***As a side note....Some reviewers suggested that these speakers sound better with the metal grills off. I followed the suggestion and I must agree, they sound slightly better. However, a WEEK after getting them, my girlfriend had her kid nephews over. Kid+Bubble looking Speaker Cone= AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! Yea, the little b*%stard decided to poke a huge dent in one of the subs on the left speaker and poked the tweeter all the way in destroying it completely. I tried to salvage it with no success. Thinking about teaching his little fingers a lesson. While it still sounded good, the cringe factor on a 1 to 10 scale was A MILLION! Good thing these speakers didn't cost me 600 each! In fact they are cheap enough that I just cried a little and bought a replacement. Anyone in the Orlando area want a slightly damaged one for even cheaper?!

Starting with the Yamaha rv2700 receiver and the Yamaha DVD player 2700 - monster speaker wire to these bad boys and you will be amazed. Stereo comes alive. They are really big. Really heavy, geeks dream so buy the wife earrings whilst you throw down 600 or so for a very cool really loud ride. Guy these will rattle the walls. Still come off clear. In case you're wondering the center cs360 with a sub and rears make a very strong powerful home system.
