"Crystal clear sounds defy laws of physics."
on by Red-DotPros Easy set up. Audiophile sound quality. Robust, refined build quality. Unique design. Unobtrusive. Woofer down-firing with configurable back panel. Chic, sexy & aesthetic.
Cons Makes you wonder why you paid so much and broke your back setting up those larger and more expensive speakers.
Summary Who said bigger is better? Winning design- speaker's polygonal shape allows it to be pointed at an angle or just firing forwards. Unobtrusive speakers means its sounds ambush you with a smack & a smile. Woofer is a rock solid down-firing 100W alien-like mother-ship with configurable back panel.
The best aural pleasure for the buck out there. Not for the feint hearted. Discerning users only. You will not be disappointed. -
"Excellent tiny speakers"
on by acr10014Pros Incredibly small size, Good very good clear sound.
Cons Tiny connectors
Summary I live in a apartment in NYC with limited space for speakers. Got these mainly because of the tiny size. Took forever to decide. Easy to install except for the small posts. They are tiny, but give a pretty decent sound. The included sub woofer can shake the walls, but I can't do that often in an apartment.

Still think they are great, Sound quality is very good. Did a bit of tweeking as followes:
moved the sub closer to the center of the "front" wall
Did audaussy full (3 pos) setup
Checked with a sound meter (OK, an iPhone app) and made a couple of minor adjustments. This improved sound quality of movies enough for me to notice.
Finish has stood up perfectly, still look new.
