Rating: Summary: Good speakers for background music Review: If you want to get wild don't buy them but for a background ambience they sound great.
Rating: Summary: Design Acoustics DAS-16 Review: This is one very enjoyable speaker to listen to even over extended periods. Highs are detailed and mids are open and clear without being harsh. Suitable for small to medium sized rooms these will sound even better with the addition of a powered sub which extends dynamic presence even further. Right now I have these connected to an Adcom GFA-555 from the pre-amp outs on my Sherwood RVD-8090 receiver. To say I am satisfied with these is an understatement. I am thrilled...and I've been trying different speakers for about half as long as I've been around. If you like your music real loud, however, then get a pair of those new JBL Studios. If you don't then you'll probably appreciate these Design Acoustics bookshelfs. They might be cheap but they sure don't sound cheap.
