I got two of these to replace the front R/L speakers of my existing setup: Cambridge Soundworks Newton MC-100's. I did this because the midrange was not quite right with the MC-100's. I could hear the highs and lows (from sub), but the mids were muffled and dull. I could turn the volume up, but everything else was too loud. Since the front speakers do most of the work, I was looking for something better. These RM101's filled the gap beautifully. I feel I can hear everything without having to turn the volume up at all from the same Yamaha receiver. The balance of sound and clarity made it worthwhile. Since I already had the ceiling mount bracket installed, setting these in place was a snap and used the same standard bolts. The pewter color is cool too, without being too flashy. My rear speakers are still MC-100's though.

I use these in the rear of a 6.1 set up. They fill in the sound excellently, were easy to mount, and look great.

Great sound out of these little guys. No problems. A bit pricey, but worth the money.
