I bought these speakers a few months ago and I have been VERY pleased. They replaced some cheap off brand towers I had purchased a few years back, and I couldn't believe the difference in quality of sound for only a few hundred dollars more. Music is very natural sounding and full, and has decent bass with out a sub. Movies are awesome!! These speakers can shake your house. They seem to get better the harder you push them. I would recomend these speakers to anyone looking for a tower speaker in the $500.00 range.
