 Speakers March 14, 2010

Thee work great for my TV room. Finishes off the surround sound. Little lacking for just music. Great price. Little large for bookshelf speakers.
Impressive sound and great versatility March 13, 2010
Steve C (Maine, USA)
I've had these speakers for over two years now and they've stood the test of time really well. I needed to have some speakers as an interim solution until I could afford the ones I really wanted. I paid $72.00 from the now defunct guys in red. For that money I wasn't really expecting much. Boy was I wrong! I have used these in virtually every capacity, fronts, rears, stereo only and they are really great speakers. I've even used them in my screened-in porch as stereo speakers paired with a 90's vintage Sony stereo receiver of 50 wpc. This combo produced enough sound to bring the boys in blue over and my neighbors aren't even that close... My take on the sound quality is that they produce excellent bass and clarity is good, however they are not as "bright" as some might like. I was also using them with a 120 wpc JVC amp and they sounded very full with surprising bass. Do yourself a favor though, throw away the included speaker wire and use some 14 or 16 gauge wire it makes a huge difference in bass response. I'm guessing that some reviewers who said the bass was a little weak were using the included wire. These are still a great deal here at amazon and are very good sounding speakers with the versatility that makes them a tremedous value in a budget speaker. Sound quality: 4 stars. Value: a definite 5 stars!
Great Buy March 7, 2010

After reading reviews on several bookshelf speakers, I decided these. I have not been disappointed. I'm not very technical so my opinion may not count for very much but I am very pleased.
 Great Speakers for the Money March 6, 2010
John
First I just want to say that these speakers are an amazing value for the money. I only paid $80 for these speakers and they suit my needs perfectly. I use them as bookshelf speakers in my dorm room and they are almost more powerful than I need them to be. My room setup doesn't let me put them in the best position to get great sound, but they still sound great. I have them hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V363 5.1 receiver, but I am only running them in stereo. They have a decent amount of bass, but they tend to get a little bit boomy (although that might be mainly due to their placement). So, to compensate for this, I got a Paradigm PDR-8 subwoofer to cover the low end. I set the crossover at about 80 Hz and that sounds great. The only downside to these speakers is the midrange. When using the sub, the midrange tends to get lost in the mix. But honestly, for $80 I can't ask for much more. So don't buy these expecting to get top of the line sound quality. If you're looking for cheap speakers that will get loud then these are for you.
Finally Compared March 3, 2010
SoothSeeker (MI USA)
I bought these at an open-box, but cosmetically perfect deal to use with my new digital tv. Also bought one of the cheapest Sony receivers to go along with it. Although I've been enjoying the sound I haven't done any serious listening until recently. Having discovered Time to Say Goodbye with Bocelli, Brightman & the London Symphonic Orchestra I REALLY appreciated the fullness and superiority of the sound of these speakers compared to the $250 satellite system I had in another room. Much more bass with these Sonys even though the satellite system has a subwoofer. This song on the satellite system truly paled compared to these although the Sony cost much less.
I'm really starting to listen to music again and that's partly due to these speakers! Oh yeah, ya gotta hear Bocelli, Brightman & the LSO Time to Say Goodbye. Google it on youtube.
