Strength:
Price! I think they sound at least as good as some speakers I heard in the $200-$300 dollar range. Nice clean sound at lower volume levels.
Weakness:
Not a huge amount of base, but much better in my opinion than some of the higher priced competitors I listened to (Polk for example) Surprisingly good for the money. I listened to several different brands of speakers available locally, and then decided to take a risk and buy these "unheard". Installation was easy and the sound is very good at even moderate volume. Great for background/whole house sound. |

Strength:
Sound as good as competing speakers which cost $300-700/pair.
Weakness:
Don't come with back boxes (although most inwalls do not), not made for playing at lease-breaking loud volume levels. For the money, these blew me away! Of course, they're not quite up to the level of high-end speakers from Paradigm, Triad, or Speakercraft. But they're darn close--for $100 a pair versus $1000 a pair! Great clarity with CD sources, sound very good with FM radio as well. Surprisingly good bass, even with the 6 1/2" models. My only caveat is to not crank them to ridiculous levels, they'll distort a bit if you push them too much. But they can go to very reasonably loud levels effortlessly. Similar Products Used: Niles, Speakercraft. |

Strength:
Easy to install, look nice, swivel tweeter, sound good, price is right.
Weakness:
Have probems handling a lot of base. I bought 1 pair of these to try. They sound good. They have a problem handling music that has a lot of bass in it. I find I have to lower the base setting on my Denon AVR-1802 by -2 db some times. They are perfect though for whole house audio which is what I am using them for. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
Quality of sound and looks.
Weakness:
None I was shocked when I finally got these in the house. I put eight of them throughout the house and didn't want to spend a ton of money at first. My plan was to put somthing in that could be replaced later. Needless to say I won't be replacing these anytime soon. I'm sure that if I spent a couple hundred dollars on each set I would hear a difference but it wouldn't be worth it these are great and you cant beat the price. Trust me, they are great. |
