These speakers are great. Although they are small in size but they can be really loud and still produce a clear and smooth sound. For $37 each at Ubid, you can't go wrong. Great for main speaker in a small room or as surround speaker. Better than many higher priced speaker i have heard, and definitely better than Infinity RS series. Highly recomended.

After replacing my tower pioneers with these due to baby reasons I must admit I was not expecting much, especially considering I bought them for 149.00 a pair. However, I am flat out stunned by the sound quality. Easily the same or better than the more expensive RS3's. Mounted on my wall, the home theater springs to life. Thank God for Infinity! |

I bought two pairs of these speakers to be used in home theater. Along with an smvideo center speaker and a Bu-2 sub, I think they sound great. I was surprised by how much sound could come from such a small speaker. They have the ability to 4 or 8 ohm and have a sensitivity of 95db. Mine were purchased mail order for about $115 a pair. For the quaility of sound you can get at such a small price, I feel they are a terrific value.. |

Strength:
For the money they are more then I would expect from bookshelf speakers. They can handle 100W no problem and sound great when volumes are turned up loud.
Weakness:
There are no complaints considering that these should not be used as main speakers. These speakers are everything you'd want in a bookshelf speaker. I use them for surround speakers with my Dolby Digital and DTS home theater. I'm also using the SM Video center speaker and closely matched EPI main speakers for great rap-around sound. Sound is clear and precise with no distortion mostly due to a well powered receiver. They sound great for music listening and can handle high volumes. Similar Products Used: Advent, EPI |

Strength:
price,clear sound
Weakness:
needs a 4-5 inch midrange in terms of the price( 149.00 a pair from crutchfield) these speakers deliver nice bass and fairly good highs, blows the RS-3's away in terms of price and sounds basically the same. I have two pairs of these speakers, good for main speakers in a small room, but in a large room they need to be as rears because of the lack of a midrange.fairly good frequency response( 78- 20kHz), I recommend these speakers for home theater, but not really for music because, once again,the lack of a midrange.
