I am using these for my rear surround speakers and they sound great. Very crisp and clear sound. These came from ABT electronics. Very fast service! They arrived two days after I ordered them, even before the scheduled delivery date!!! Very happy with their service.

Very satisfied with the sound of these small speakers, and I would consider myself a very discerning audiophile. I combined them with the Pro Sub 800 for a wonderful sound in my home-office. If you listen to classical music, this set-up delivers fantastic value for sound.

A well designed, high quality product. Works perfectly in a 5.1 or 7.1 system in smaller rooms with a ProSub 800 and ProCenter 1000. Exceptional sound for the money.

I bought a pair of these to replace some Polk Audio surrounds, and all I can say is wow. I was totally blown away with the sound that these can reproduce clear and precise. They are a little bright for a few hours until they are broken in though. I have them matched up with a Denon 2809ci, 2 Klipsch VF35's and a C3 center and the sound, both home theater and music, is absolutely incredible.

I recently sold my house and included my Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system with the media room. I researched for many days and even considered buying another Bose set. After looking at CNET reviews (Bose was not listed in the top 10), I decided to buy the Pro Cinema 800 set. But instead of the 8" subwoofer I bought the 10" subwoofer. I bought all the speakers seperately (no cost savings buying the package) including my 10" Definitive subwoofer. The satellites are a lot bigger than the Bose satellites and this helps them reproduce a fuller spectrum of sound. The sound coming from the Pro 800 are more rich and full. On the top is a passive radiator that works in tandem with the woofer to help radiate lower frequencies (these speakers are acoustically suspended). The stand on the bottom is removable and there is an included plug to cover the mounting hole if you are mounting them on wall mounts (each speaker weighs about 4 pounds). The back has binding post connectors with banana conntor receptacle (female). These speakers definitely out perform my old Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker set and cost about the same. For the money, you can't go wrong with this set.

Pros:
- High gloss finish
- Quality construction
- Passive radiator
- Rich crisp sound
- Included stand

Cons:
- Would be nice in documentation to add recommend cross over frequency with sub woofer
