Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • absolutely wonderful sound quality at a phenomenal price
  • I would recommend this purchase for the value-oriented consumer looking for good home theatre sound and a fair price assuming you couple it with a good AV receiver (I coupled this with an Onkyo TX-SR606).
  • I ordered all my wire and accessories such as banana plugs and wall plates from mycablemart.com as I thought their prices were good, but there are lots of places to order this stuff.
  • Beautiful sound paired with a Yamaha receiver, nice finish and excellent price

Reviews around look (5.00 of 5)

  • It's a great sounding system with good looking speakers that don't overpower your theater room or take up enormous amounts of wall space
  • They have a reflective black casing and hard grill making them nearly invisible when watching a movie in the dark, but when the lights are on or the sun is out, the speakers are just really slick looking.
