Strength:
Great detailed sound, excellent imaging
Weakness:
Grills a bit flimsy-however at this price again the SOUND is really really great These speakers are great at any price. I am amazed that a manufacturer can produce such great sounding speakers that sell for so little. These speakers are have amazing detail, nice rich bass and beautiful highs. The imaging and sound stage are are really awesome-these are just excellent speakers plain and simple. Similar Products Used: JMLabs Tantal 507, Paradigm Atoms, Paradigm Titans |

Strength:
Quality Kevlar mid bass unit and silk dome tweeter.Flexability in placement and bi wireable.
Weakness:
Grills a little tricky to put on. These have to be one the best affordable speaker finds in years. For $200.00 delivered you get a 5 1/4" Kevlar bass-mid driver and a 3/4" silk dome tweeter. For a ported cabinet, the bass is tight and highs are extended and not harsh. The stereo image is truly exceptional for such a small unit. I am using it in a home theater application and no speaker approaches their performance for even twice the price. They give my Dynaudio Contour 1.1s stiff competition. Only in low frequency extension and some high end detail do they SLIGHTLY lose out. They can also be placed on a book shelf because of their front ported design. There were no dealers in my area so IMG shipped them at no cost with a 15 day money back guarantee. This is a no brainer decision. My friend is sampling the Diamond 8.2 speakers on the strength of these speakers which I will post soon.
