I'm no audiophile but wow

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small footprint, clean, excellent range - good for systems not cranking the watts
Cons could be a little cheaper list price, say 50-100 bucks
Recommended it? Yes

I have two digital pro audio 210T floor speakers that
I gave up to keep using my slim profile Onkyo receiver (no other fits in my cabinet). The receiver doesn't support

Pros Good value for money Small towers, compact space Faithful sound reproduction Excellent...
Cons Silvery ugly plastic feet Packaging excessive
Recommended it? Yes

I have been pretty surprised by these low cost tower speakers. The bass isn't as low as many people say; and the reproduction of music (especially jazz and instrumental) is shockingly good. I'm hearing more detail than had previously with my Infinity RS speakers. Read full review »

Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I just installed these on my deck and am very happy with the sound they produce. I'm using them on zone 3 of a denon AVR-4311ci.

It's really quite surprising how good these sound on my deck outdoors. Most outdoor speakers produce a weak range but somehow these are really sharp at both highs... Read full review »

Pros they sound awesome!
Cons none..... maybe they're pricey?
Recommended it? Yes

Been listening to these for about a month now and I must admit I'm impressed! Very nice highs and mids... and I'm impressed with the amount of bass these things put out! I've got 2 aw5500's mounted on the house for the deck area and I just ordered another 2 aw6500's for the pool area to replace... Read full review »
