5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound - excellent value!, February 9, 2003

By	Chris Bennett (Montgomery, WV United States) - See all my reviews

I was recently upgrading my stereo system to include great home theater sound with Dolby Digital and DTS, as well as good-sounding loudspeakers for normal music. I originally shopped around local stores...but I was discouraged by the prices of speakers, which weren't really big or powerful, and although they had great theater sound effect, they didn't give the hard-hitting bass I wanted. In fact, when I turned the volume up too much, they really didn't sound that well. So, I dicided to look online to see what kind of speakers I could get for a limited amount of money, and I found these. (I wanted 15" woofers, and high-wattage capabilities.) I was skeptical when I saw how cheap they were-especially since those speakers I saw elsewhere were upwards of a $.... a pair. So, I got brave and bought them, and they just blew me away. I've cranked my 120-watt receiver up as loud as it would go, and these speakers have no problems handling it. You really feel the bass pound with no distortion, and the mid-range and tweeters sound terrific! When cranked up loud, I feel like I'm being knocked over by the bass. By the way, these speakers work very well for home theater, and you don't even need to buy an over-priced subwoofer either. I have a 200-watt subwoofer, but these speakers pour out even more bass than the subwoofer; plus, it's the hard-hitting, tight bass that subwoofers can't deliver. Definetely a must have, whether you listen to music quietly, or at ultra-loud volumes!
Also, I will write this because there aren't that many details given about these speakers. The dimensions of the cabinets are 32.5" X 18.5" X 11.75" H.W.D. The frequency rating is 30Hz-25kHz with 8-Ohm resistance. I'm not 100% sure of the crossover frequencies, but I believe it's around 600-700Hz for the woofer, and 3-4kHz for the tweeters. It has what looks to be banana plug jacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best deal for your money hands down!, December 5, 2002

By	"flatercn" (Glen Ellyn, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I have tried a number of comparable speakers and these are by far the best deal for your money. You will not find a better speaker for under three-hundredanywhere. The subwoofers pump out more bass than I've ever seen on a home speaker system. The bass is clear and tight like it should be. You don't hear the music, so much as you feel it. The dual tweeters produce good highs and do a good job keeping up with the subs as you increase the volume. Most larger speakers sound terrible at low volumes but these do not distort when underpowered. The 94 decible sensitivity is also a bonus, as i power these off of a normal 100 watt per channel reciever yet they still produce crystal clear tones at thunderous volumes. The construction is very sturdy and looks like it could withstand a tornado. The only beef I have with these speakers is that the metal grille keeps flyin off of the sub every time i pump it up really loud, but then again they look more badass with exposed subs anyways.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome power and sound, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

very well balanced sound...i hear depth to music that i have never before noticed. these speakers are incredibly loud; my 500 watt amp turned half up is almost deafening. with the binding posts on the back i can even run power from my Cavin DCM600 and use these speakers as my bass guitar setup. one of the best investments i have ever made.
