5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound for the size, June 6, 2003

By	"shinji67" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

I love these speakers, They sound so good that I moved my sub out of my room and into the living room where parents don't have one. these would be a perfect set of speakers to place in the den to enjoy music in there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its not hard to find a better bookshelf speaker, June 23, 2005

By	Jason P. Gold (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Summary:

I bought these as a replacement for some Mission bookshelf speakers which I gave to a friend in exchange for a loan he gave me to buy some rare speakers Dick Shahinian designed for Harman Kardon about 35 years ago. I have the ARs hooked up to an old Harman Kardon receiver which I have attached to a computer. In my opinion, they sound awful. They are bright, brittle, have NO bottom end (which is understandable given the size of the drivers) and are not musical in the least. I suspect I'll be happier replacing them with a $79 pair of computer speakers. The only reason I have not is because I don't have any place for the HK receiver and I could not in good conscience give 'em away.

Strengths:
Small size, cheap.

Weaknesses:
Sound awful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound for Great Price, May 23, 2003

By	C. W. Toraason "macboots" (Misawa, Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased these after reading about them in Consumer Reports. Sound is very good over the frequency spectrum, with no noticable overenhancement in the spectrum. Bass sound is adequate, not great, although that's expected for a speaker this size.
