Small size. Great transparency. Handles a good bit of power.

Only reproduces down to around 100Hz, but does a great job down to that point.

The amazingly glossy finish shows every dust spec. I hate dusting.

I always keep my eyes out for great sounding speakers for a reasonable price. It is easy to find good speakers for lots of money, but finding something good for less is always a challenge, but these speakers were up to it, barely. They still cost a fair bit, but good for the price. These speakers look great and sound great. They have extremely good transparancy, not unlike electrostatic speakers. They are obviously completely lacking in bass bue to their size, but by matching with and Sunfire sub, fills the bottom end nicely. There is an obvious small gap at around 80-90Hz that is quiet noticable with certain music, but with most music it is not a major concern. With movies it is not noticable at all.

Height placement is critical, as they are fairly directional, particularly on the Y axis. Get the height right and it is good.

They are about average on the efficiency, so a decent amp is required.

These are good speakers for people who want something small without sacrificing great sound. While they cannot be considered inexpensive, they probably sound better than anything else for that price.
