I just got these today and they sound great. Tons of bass come out of them (have to put my bass down to -3). Comes with gold posting for your speaker wire too. In back of speakers even has a bass port. Great price from amazon and super fast shipping. Can't wait for the c990 speakers to come (said they were in stock, but nothing yet). Got the jensen center (which also sounds very nice and you can't beat the price)to go along with all five for surround sound. Buy these you won't go wrong!!!

As you might guess from the low price, these are made in China.
I had a chance to try them out on a hi end tube amplifier;
and the sound was exceedingly faint and shallow. These are not quality speakers by any stretch of the imagination; and I do not recommend them unless you have an amp with lots of power, and a tin ear. The return of them netted me less than a 50% refund.

I bought these speakers for a 5.1 setup in my recording studio where I do sound and music for indie films. I amplify them with a yamaha surround reciever and I am very pleased with their natural reproduction of sound and their power handling. At $50 a pair you can't beat their price to performance ratio. Jensen speakers allready have a good reputation. With this series of speakers they could definitely compete with speakers well above their price range.

Believe it or not these speakers sound better than ones costing double, even triple their $50 price tag. I didn't have a lot of money to replace the bedroom pair that finally found the dumpster, so I took a chance on these very inexpensive yet amazingly good speakers. They even look good! You will be pleased with the frequency response that captures the highs and lows in most types of music. And you can blast them without any distortion. Great tight bass! I am shocked that such a cheap speaker can sound so darn great.
