I bought 5 of these for my home theater system and I'm reasonably satisfied with them. If you turn off the high-frequency enhancer on the front of the speaker, they're a much flatter speaker, which is good. My one complaint is that they seem to drop off around 200Hz, which leaves an annoying hole in the sound between the bottom range of these speakers and the top range of where your subwoofer kicks in. I guess that's pretty common amongst consumer level speaker systems in general. Bose systems are way worse in this regard, which seem to have the entire midrange scooped out. Still, if you can get past this and supplement with a high quality sub with your crossover point set to the top of the capable range, it should sound pretty rich.

I'm a professional movie mixer and I work daily on speaker systems that cost more than a nice house, so I have high standards, but for a modest, low-profile home theater setup these sound pretty good.

I purchased these as surround speakers in my home theatre. Before installing in wall, I used as main speakers while finishing room construction and excellent sound quality. Very quality built, great sound, easy installation, complete instructions, and great customer support.
