About a year ago I bought a sony three piece surround system that, as far as i can tell is identical to these speakers, save the cases. The cone sizes and max power ratings are the same and i am almost positive the responce range is too.
These are pretty decent speakers, the sound from the rear speakers could be more crisp and they only go down to 85hz. but hey they are suround speakers. I am happy with these but I suspect you can get the same sound quality from a slightly cheaper KLH system. If i could do it again i would spring a little more cash for a slightly more expensive JBL system or somthing like that. dont get me wrong, these are plenty good speakers.

P.s. I think the cones are paper but the darn covers dont come off. (periodicaly i enjoy taking the covers off of speakers too look at them, a slight down side to this system.)

The center channel addded a ton to my sound for movies and the like, I love it. The surround speakers aren't as good, they do give some surround effect but the quality is not very high. Couple that with their size, and they aren't the greatest. I had a hard time mounting them to the drywall with the cantilever type mounting arms I bought, since they are so heavy and big they really put some load on the arms and the wall. Haven't fallen down yet, though.

Overall these were a good purchase for the price, if only because the center channel is everything I hoped it would be. The surrounds are clunky.

Great speakers for a small space. Clear and accurate. Center speaker gives rich sound to the voices.
