A 10 V, I set it up with yamaha 760 receiver and wasn't impress my sub woofer sound muffled and hollow the sub woofer is limited to where you want to place because the speaker wire is'nt long enough am still experimenting trying to get better sound from this system, i don't know if sitting the sub on the carpet floor makes it sound that way

Now why do audiophiles hate these speakers

Really?These may be great sounding speakers, I don't know.

These speakers sound great.
