Strength:
Price,Price,Price! Value for money. Did I say price? Good looking speaker if you have the patience and time to paint them to fit your listening area
Weakness:
Wish they came in black For the price you cannot go wrong. I snagged 4 of these for $100 at UBID and I haven't regretted it at all. I painted them to match my living room (even the grilles) and use them as my rear and side surrounds in a 7.1 system. They sound awesome for DTS-ES movies and listening to Norah Jones in 7-channel stereo is incredible to say the least. I'm not an audio fanatic by any means, but I really do think you would be hard pressed to find anything at 2-3 times the price that compares to these. To those who say they can't handle bsaa-hat's what a sub is for, duh! Similar Products Used: cheap sony and rca surrounds |

Strength:
• power handling • low distortion • bi-polar • price
Weakness:
appears that they scratch easily I cannot believe my ears, I'm on tight budget and wanted to spend as little as possible (for now) to add rear channels to my system. Great bang for the buck, these puppies sound great on 6ch stereo on my reciever. Similar Products Used: psb, paradigm, altec lansing |

Strength:
Compact size, decent sound and price.
Weakness:
None for what I use them for These are great speakers for the price. I am using them as rear surround speakers in a 7.1 setup. They do exactly what they are supposed to do...fill in rear sound. For the price you cannot go wrong. I do not know how they would do as surround speakers in a 5.1 setup. Easy installation, and nice look.

Strength:
Clean and clear, Nice looking, Wall mountable, well made, very nice connectors and a clear value!
Weakness:
Not much bass Four simple words BANG FOR THE BUCK! I was looking for some wall mountable bipole or dipole surrounds. I run across these for 101 dollars including shipping. Bam I got wall mountable surrounds. About a quarter as much as my Paradigms. How do they sound? Great for surrounds. I listned to Star Wars EP1 and was blown away. I couldnt believe these cost as little as they did. No they arnt as good as my Paradigm ADP 350's. But compare the MULAH spent. If yo want low cost surrounds. Buy these.

Strength:
well built, HuGE magnets on drivers, great looking design
Weakness:
none to be found yet I too could not pass these up on ubid for 39.00 a piece. I kind of was going on a limb getting Kenwood speakers because quite honestly, they dont make the best speakers period. I was very please when I took these out of the package beacuse I figured they would be made out of cheaper material and boy was I wrong. Hopefully my main Klipsch speakers and center will not overpower these surrounds, but then again for 100.00 who cares. These sound far from the matching surround for my mains rs-3 but they cost 365.00 a pair. I will be sending 100 watts a piece to them and see how they hold up.

Strength:
Nicely built,modern design, clear sound does the job of surrounds very well
Weakness:
none Picked these up from Ubid for 36$ a piece and am very pleased with them. I was going to go for the polk for nearly ten time as much but when I saw these had a very similar design and were 39$ I could pass them up. These are very well made speakers, very solid but not to heavy, the speaker posts are nice also which was a surprise from being so in expensive. Overall very well built the drivers are not cheap feeling either. Similar Products Used: Bose (bleh) KLH |
