Review: Beautiful sound, great power. I am very pleased with these speakers. Be sure to verify with Amazon.com the shipping method and details regarding shipping. My speakers we left at my address in a severely damaged box that was taped together. The speakers did have some scratches on them, though they worked beautifully. Amazon worked with me on a refund/ discount or they were willing to replace.

Summary: Very very good for the money
Review: First, let me say that these are FAR from the best speaker on the market. However, I bought these when I was 15, working a minimum wage job. Value was very important to me. I now have a much higher quality digital surround sound system, and I sold these to my dad to put with the TV in the basement. For $100 a pair, you CANNOT go wrong with these. The only thing bad about them is the lack of low-end. Don't get me wrong, with a little power they'll still pound, but the low extension is a little disappointing for a 12-inch woofer. For music these are EXCELLENT speakers. The clarity of the midrange rivals that of many high-end speakers, and the highs are very crisp, with a broad soundstage. The uppper and mid-bass is extremely tight and accurate. If you're on a budget, I would definately recommend these speakers.

Summary: Considering the price...
Review: For $50/speaker, I'm satisfied with these speakers. Raising them off the ground definitely improves the sound. I have mine on small 25" high tables , one on each side about 4 feet from my desk chair. Overall, not for a finicky audiophile, could be more lively, and I'm not sure how far the sound travels clearly, but for a small-medium room and arranged properly, they're decent, especially considering the price. The Amazon review rips the appearance a bit harshly; they're not fancy, but they look fine. I would have given 3.5 stars if it was an option.

Summary: Why not in Canada?
Review: Hi,I was looking all around on the net looking for big speakers and when I saw these I went nuts, I wanted these really bad but when I saw that I can't get them because I live in Canada. Could you tell me when you can ship these speakers to Canada please thank you.

Summary: Loudest Dorm Room EVER
Review: I bought a pair of these ...just cuz they were dirt-cheap for the pair. I've already ordered a pair of KLH AV5001s (still waitin for them) but these were delivered to me at school first. I've got them hooked up to my Pioneer 4x150 watt receiver, and it's ridiculous with these two "smaller" speakers. I have this all hooked up to my computer, and already people are asking me to DJ for their parties. I can't even IMAGINE how it will sound when my AV5001s arrive....

Review: I bought these speakers a while ago (few months) to replace the old speakers I had (One's my parents had when they were in college, it had a hudge 8 inch driver. I was amazed at the power they had even though it was hooked up to a tiny 100 watt amp. I have scence upgraded to my father's old AMPZILLIA. Even when I crank these things up to their max 170 watts they stay clean (and they have a buffer of at least 30 watts). I only had one problem with them. I wanted more bass. I bought a small 8 inch sub and they work perfect together. I have found that these speakers sound best when you have at least 120watts going through them. Anything less you can still hear yourself think.

Summary: Speakers prone to damage in shipment
Review: I can't attest to the sound of these speakers because I never got to use them. The orignial pair I ordered arrived damaged, as did the replacement pair. The factory packing is so poor that the probability of them withstanding shipment of any distance without damage seems remote. Amazon was very good about refunding my money, but this was a major hassle. Check with Amazon about packing before ordering.
