I am really enjoying these speakers. Excellent upgrade over my old Polk RT12 tower speakers. Hearing things in music I haven't heard before.I've only had these for a week, but I've done a lot of listening. These have a great mid-range. Excellent for jazz, vocals, etc. I find they are very clear and accurate. The bass could be a little bit stronger, but I have paired with a small sub in a 2.1 configuration, so it works well together. Depending on your music selection, you may not need a sub. For movies, always yes, you'll want a sub with almost any speaker. These also sound great with newer music too. I listen to almost everything and they haven't let me down yet.I ordered the gloss white version, which I think looks really nice. Modern, classy, and matches our theme very well. The wife approves as well..One note to mention.. These are very "telling" speakers (in my opinion) and with a poor recording quality, they show the poor quality. To me that means these are accurate and not coloring the sound much at all, or warming it up in any way. I prefer the accuracy over a treated sound that is falsely portraying the music.I particularly love the tweeter. Super clean and clear. Not overly bright.. just right, even for trumpet in a high register, it doesn't get offensive.I have these paired with an Onkyo A-9110 integrated amp. They work well together. The amp has plenty of power for these, and I don't need to get past 50% volume ever.Not a huge fan of the cheap looking feet of the speakers, but for the price, I understand needing to make cost decisions. I'd rather have better sound quality than better feet in the speakers. And these deliver very nice sound.Good packaging from the factory. Nothing special though.Overall I am very satisfied and will be keeping these speakers for years to come.
