Awesome! Had a set of Bose Acoustimass, never realized we were missing so much until we set these up. Great Sound! Check out Video Only stores in Bay Area about half the price on the Web.

Ease of huge dynamic transients, low end is everywhere you want to be
Clean non-fatigue high end and very acceptable mids

For the price THERE ARE NO WEAKNESSES!

Okay, you out there without the megabucks take heart.
Let's just say I've done the worrying for you and
have awoken longing for the right pair for the money for you
as well. We all know terms like holistic, decay, gestalten,
and even gossamer. Terms designed to whet your appetite
about audio. Hmmm....Audio nervousa...been there,
done that and sure, everyone must do their share.
Enter the Sound Dynamics P100: And yes, I admit it, like
most people I read the grand reviews and decided to
try them on that merit. Of course this tact has failed before and I have found the EMPORER'S NEW CLOTHES syndrome out there. Perfectly natural though, the masses are sheep-like. The Sound Dynamics P100 is not a product of
sheep. It is a product of wolves, not the ragged type that some may envision but the markless almost innocent beautiful
ones; the kind that betray not a hint that they could rip
off your leg. During Saving Private Ryan the sound was
of such visceral impact that if I were to lose my leg in a war then surely this couldn't be far off the sound I would be hearing. I have felt my greatful tears during Bach's violin concertos and during Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. It is about time that a product for a thousand satisfies in the LONG TERM. And yes I paid that much without a moment of regret. I consider it a gift to
audiophiles. This Emperor is really wearing new clothes and
royalty never sounded so good. Well, Bach is beckoning and who am I to tarry? Many goosebumps in your listening! Oh, ignore this product at your soon to be chagrin!

Could be the best value in speakers. Paid $660 for the light birch RTS P100.Huge soundstage, clear highs, built in subs with 100 watt amps. Fit and finish is a little weak but the sound is terrific. Auditioned Def Tech pro 400, Infiniti ovr 1 & 2, Klipsch 10.5 & KSP 300, paradign monitor 7 & 9. Each speaker had their pluses and minuses, but the p100s had the most to offer at the best price plus no need for an external sub!!. There are better speakers, (go spend $1500+) but not at this price and features. Check out home theater magazine Jan 99 for review. A true bargin.

Paid $600 for a pair of these from Video Only. They replace some B&W towers that I got for $800 ONLY because they were floor demos. The SoundDynamics are CLEARLY superior: smoother highs and lows, a LOT more bottom end (with 2 100-watt subwoofers that would be expected) better imaging and detail. I'm astonished at the amount of musical detail at low volume. As has been mentioned, these speakers will never be confused with fine furniture, but they are tasteful and unassuming. They were the best speakers I heard at under $1,000 a pair. At $600 a pair, I don't think there is a better value.
You owe it to yourself to audition these.

Incredible detail, Punchy bass, Value

None so far

Just got these speakers a couple of days ago and I cannot say enough good things about them. The speakers looked even better than I had expected and the fit and finish was great. I thought I would mention that since a lot of people were complaining about the build quality. I got them in black since the light birch was no longer available. Once set up I was totally blown away from their sound. I put some Tracy Chapman in and the extreme detail of her voice and music gave me goosebumps. I have been burning them in for 2 days now and they sound better everytime I listen to them. No need for an external subwoofer when listening to music, the basss is extremley fast and tight and you have to keep the gain down quite low so as to not rattle items on your wall. I can't say for sure how all the other speakers above would have sounded in my room, but I can't imagine there is a speaker that sounds any better than these at this price range. Read reviews and articles and try to find a negative on their sound.


I'm running them as large fronts through my yamaha 2095 with the LFE out going to my Paradigm servo 15,which I only use for DVD. My room is about 350sf with hard wood floors and vauted ceilings. Call Mike at amsound if you're looking for a pair

I have been a big fan of Sound Dynamics for some time. I previously owned a pair of Vandersteens 3A, but I had to sell them when I moved into a smaller place. I heard so much about the 300ti that I decided to purchase a pair. I was driving the 300ti with a pair of Cary 70watt tube monoblocs. Combined with a B&W sub, I really loved this combination and felt like I didn't loose much from my Vandersteens. However, my Cary tube amps were not able to drive the 300ti as loud as I sometimes like to listen. Therefore, when I heard Sound Dynamics were putting out tower speakers with a 100 watt powered subwoofer and a sesitivity rating of 93, I jumped all over these--and I have not been dissapointed.
These speakers sound a lot like the 300ti, yet with a deeper soundstage and more dynamics. These speakers are a perfect match for tube enthusiasts. They will play very loud without needing a lot of power. They are very clear, open and transparnt. Of course, their not of the same build quality of most high end speakers, and their not extremely good looking, but their far from being ugly or poorly built. Given their price, I would rate them a five. You get a lot of value for the dollar and terrific sound that can match well with most high end gear and dramatically improve the middle road stuff.
