Wow, bought these off ebay for about the same price a year ago; I was going to use them as Studio Monitors for my home recording studio, but instead used them on my 5.1 surround system. I don't think I have heard a better sounding speaker for the $$$. I am using w/cheap subwoofer and the sound is amazing! Lots of full sound that seems to come out of nowhere! For such smaller speakers, these pups put out a ton of sound. I highly recommend them.

Using two pairs for my Pioneer surround sound home entertainment system, they deliver good full-spectrum sound at a reasonable price. The speakers themselves are not capable of giving the powerful bass response I wanted, so I added in a powered sub-woofer (see my review of the Pyle-Pro Amp) to complete the sound. The five speakers together sound better than great - they sound awesome! And these little speakers can handle all the power my room, and my ears, can take!
Mounted at about 36 inches above the floor, these speakers in black are relatively small, sound great, and they are almost unnoticeable. At 6"x9"x5" they are bigger than speakers used for PC sound systems, but they really can take the power when the volume is cranked up.
Each speaker has the standard red/black bare wire mounts in the back, so they are not for use directly from an iPod; you have to have an amp or receiver.
I'm using the flimsy screw-into-the-wall mounting brackets that come with the speakers, but the brackets work fine. I discarded the wimpy speaker wire that comes with them and am using monster (16 gauge) speaker wire.
Recommended for cost and quality.

I purchased these for a 2nd room application after mounting them on the wall. First thing I noticed was the brackets were flimsy they held the speakers but a sturdier bracket would have made me more at ease. now for the sound I'm more for the quality of sound than for how loud they can go so with that being said they sounded real "tinny" highs worked very well but the bass in these isn't hardly noticeable and if there is any it is overshadowed by the higher audibles.

I should have waited and spent a little more and bought jbl's or def tech's as I was little leery when i ordered these.

Not well packaged within factory box, the styrofoam packing was broken-up badly. Speakers knocked together during shipping and the grills are now dented. Factory box was well packed within Amazon box, so damage was not found until I openned everything up. Not worth the aggrivation of sending them back. I wanted something "quick and inexpensive". The speakers work fine for my rear-channel surround-sound application (which is not that critical to overall audio experience). I feel I got what I paid for, but these are NOT "400 Watt" speakers.

What can I say, they're cheap and I wouldn't evven think of turning up the volume to high to check their limits.

The range is good, sound is excellent, they're responsive and they're cheap.

I needed some small bookshelf type speakers for a plasma monitor I had. I didn't want to spend a ton of $$ so I found these on Amazon. The reviews were decent so I took a chance. Heck, for $30, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Well, it worked out great! The little guys do the job nicely! Go ahead and buy if you need them for audio reinforcement. Its worth it.
