It was time to buy some larger speakers as opposed to the dinky space saving brand x-er's I had downsized to years ago.I had been craving for the larger sound again...not necessarily the louder sound,although some of those top 10 tunes need to have the volume turned up from time to time.These fit the bill as they were puchased on consumer ratings and many.....if not all,were 5 star......and the price you ask?...85 bucks shipped from Vanns......COME ON!.
It's not like years ago when you could prance into Pacific Stereo or Universal stereo and compare almost anything audio.These days,it's mostly packaged equipment and not many separates.I had to depend on the ratings and the name and it paid off.I bought this pair to play back a CD,Cassette deck and 4 track tape player through a Pyle PTA2 audio amp I had just purchased.....which works just fine and is a little gem in itself.....So if you listen to Mick and the boys,Cat Stevens,Bach or Babs,these will give you tight bass,balanced mids and defined highs..... a real pleaser and It's nice to be surprised!.....Highly Recommended!

These speakers have very nice sound. The bass is very good for their size. These sound much better than my Bose 201's and I paid about 1/4 th of the price. They are a little too large for bookshelf placement, but not so large as to be obtrusive.

These speakers replaced small 25-year old Bose speakers that were beginning to fail. Very clean highs and mid-range and plenty of bass for a small living room. Flat across the spectrum (to my ear).

These speakers give a large amount of sound for such a small speaker. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I would recommend them to anyone. I used them for my multimedia center upstairs in my bonus room. The speakers work great with DVD's, the Wii, and the radio. Overall excellent value here.

I was pleasantly surprised by these rather large bookshelf speakers. They are well constructed and have a rather linear sound. I have them in my garage, which is a horrible space acoustically, and takes a fair amount of power to "fill the room". These speakers seem to do well though, especially when considering the price. Surprisingly in these days of companies saving every dime they can, my pair came with speaker wires. The covers are nicely made, but there are large gaps (part of the design) between the covers and cabinet when viewed from the side.
