Sound
Overall the system is EXTREMELY well-balanced and smooth. The highs are nice and pleasant, not too soft or harsh. Mids are great also with flat response. Lows are good but due to my placement near walls, can become slightly muddy. Compared to ANYTHING under $300, these are excellent. They show more mid-range details than my Paradigm 5SEMKIII speakers! Of course low end lacks a bit, i'm not much of a bass guy but i think that takes away from depth just a bit, i still wouldn't buy a sub though since it's a well-balanced sound. These speakers don't show ALL the details, they will open up your music way more than the average to mid-end sound equipment. But, I've been to hi-fi home audio shops... What does that mean? I've heard speakers costing 12 to 80 thousand dollars ALONE coupled with amps and components costing up to 100 thousand... There is no comparison at that point... haha they spoiled me with their great sound but no joke, these still give me chills down my spine sometimes with their excellent close-range imaging. Just make sure to get the position/ear level just right, this is crucial!
Features
My only wish was that they offered digital inputs so i dont have to use the "headphone jack" to the computer. Mine offers an optical out so later i may purchase an optical to RCA and hopefully gain better sound from it. But of course adding such features bumps costs, so really these are good as is.… read more
Ease of Use
No EQs or special settings needed! just plug them up and play, granted your source is flat, they play the way music should be heard! dont you dare touch the bass boost either, you'd be messing with a good thing! unless you're a bass hunter...
Quality
Besides the slightly thin speaker wire included, everything else appears well-made. Volume control is nice and weighted, adjusts with PRECISION! No complaints otherwise, everything is nicely built!
The Wow Factor
Perfect compromise of size and sound in an affordable package.
