4.0 out of 5 stars matches the B-1s, September 13, 2005
By 
DKDC (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Athena Technologies AS-R1 Bi-Pole Surround Speaker (Single) (Electronics)
These are made to match the B1 speakers that are often recommended as one of the best in it's price range. The B1s have an incredible amount of bass and treble for the price and while they are not "audiophile quality" (whatever that is) they are certainly very good for the price. I should sell my B1s since I have two sets of more expensive speakers, but am reluctant to do it.

The R1s - seem to match the B1s well. No drop in quality from the B1s that I can tell.

The newer B1.2 and AS-R1.2 are supposedly the same as Athena did not feel the need to change this line any (said one executive). There is some talk that the larger speakers (F series) were made less heavy and therefore maybe less in quality, but it is not clear yet I believe.

At the Athena website they have links to some independent reviews for more information. athenaspeakersdotcom/modelASR1Reviews.php

By the way - when I first wrote this review I was also selling my pair to get a more expensive and better sounding pair. They sold long ago and I still feel the same as I did back then.
