This is somewhat of a moot point now that Eosone is going out of business as of 1/1/99, but just in case you still find them price slashed. I bought the bookshelf Eosone 200s last year. Paired with a sub, they sounded great. I went and bought the 600's with the price drop. When I got them home and did an A/B comparison with the 200's, I was incredibly disappointed. The 200's sounded better on 9 out of 10 discs of varying music. The midrange was virtually absent and the bass was boomy and muffled. I took them back immediately. Maybe that's why they're going OOB. Polk will be servicing their speakers for warranty work I hear.

It is sad, but the Eosone is going Out Of Business. Sad for them. I work at Best Buy and I can get a set of 600's for about $300 for the pair. Wow. Make no assumptions, these are high-end speakers. I am not an audiophile, but I know what sounds good, and the 600's sound great. I am not interestested in spending $1000's for speakers, and bad mouthing the 600's is a mistake, they are a great compromise between price and quality. Most of us call that a vaule, other more errogent call it unacceptable. Fine, but Mr. Nudell knows his speakers and did a fantasic job with them. There are a bit on the bassy side on the mid lows, but overall, my untrained ear rates them a high four.

I am back to tell everyone after spending countless hours searching for a new receiver I have settled on a Nakamichi AV10. This reveiver makes the Eosone speakers sound incredible. This is a match made in heaven. I highly recommend this receiver to anyone. I now hear music from my CDs which I never heard before.

I got a wonderfull deal on my eosone rsf600's. For those of you that have a pair, you will never believe me. I first saw them at Best Buy. I always wanted them, because they are great speakers. I got 2 speakers for $289. The only other speakers that sound better are the rsf1000's.

Strength:

sounds great , cranks up really loud , looks impressive , well built.

Weakness:

does not sound good on certain music ( prince , most 80's pop)

Paid about $700 for the pair With a 9 year warranty. The Infinity and Paradigm speakers I own don't sound as good. In home theatre useage they can't be beat. Stereo placement was somewhat critical. I run these as my main pair ( with the small speaker setting selected on my Yamaha rx 973 ) with a Paradigm pdr-12 sub. I listen to a lot of metal and the only speaker that would be better is Klipch. I know everyone knocks mass market but sometimes there are good products out there ( the Eosones are the only mass market product in my system. the rest is all from a local high end audio dealer)so if you can find a pair , try them and see for yourself.

Similar Products Used:

paradigm and infinity

Strength:

Clean & bright home-theatre presence. Di-polar configuration adds ambience.

Weakness:

Low-end bass reproduction, crank-it-up oomph.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with these speakers. The cabinet is constructed of extremely high-quality materials, and still looks new, despite being moved several times. These speakers sound very good with acoustic guitar, classical, and vocal music. They disappoint me when I want to crank up some good old rock and roll, although a good subwoofer goes a long way to complement them.

These speakers are generally quite good. They provide a deep, rich bass and a crisp treble. The mid-range however is somewhat lacking -- it's too overpowered by the highs and lows. Additionally, the speakers tend to be a bit brighter than I might like. For $1000, there are better speakers on the market. For a mass-market brand (the Eosones are only available at Best Buy), though, these are quite good.

Strength:

Very deep and clean bass, great for those of us who
don't wish to make enemies out of neighbors by using
a powered sub

Weakness:

Very heavy... But the same could be said of any good quality speaker

The best or rather most usefull reviews in my
opinion are those posted by people who have long
since silenced the rush of excitement experienced
when a product is first given life. With that
said, let it be known that I've owened my Eosone
towers for over three years.

Many types of sound sources have made their way
to these speakers; Everything from video games,
to audio cassettes, to Dolby Digital sources such
as DVD and digital cable TV (yes, my neighborhood
is one of the lucky few to receive it). Even
DTS encoded DVD has been auditioned on these.
None ever gave me reason to wish I had not
purchased these speakers.

Most important of all, the speakers have never
failed in all the time I've owned them. If you're
wondering if I ever push them hard, "Jurasic Park",
on LaserDisc sent my cat out the open front door,
and he not been seen since. I share the blame for
that with the ability these speakers have to
reproduce sound with such dramatic realism, no
subwoofer needed.

It is a dreadful shame Eosone has gone under.

Strength:

great looks and sound quality

Weakness:

none

I purshased these speakers at closeout for $539/Best Buy. I also have the matching center and surrounds. I first wanted to buy speakers for first and foremost sound quality and reproduction but also a little flair in the appearance that stood apart from others. Not only these look great but sound excellant. I use these for all sources:dvd, pro logic, straight stereo. Matching these up with my Yamaha 1103 was perfect. I live in a middle townhome, and though the builder said that I wouldn't be able to bother the neighbors, I wanted to purchase towers that will satisfy my bass but not having the need to purchase a separate sub. It is a shame that Eosone went out of business, I think that marketing them in Best Buy/Crutchfield may have been a mistake...who knows. Anyway, thest blow away most infinity, jbl, ar, nht's out there.
