These speakers are simply fantastic. The bass really does shake the house. Extremely clear mids and highs. I don't see the need for any other speakers if you have a pair of these bad mothers. If you want sheer, raw power then this is the speaker for you. For the price, it's phenomenal.

Just one tiny con. The cut-off protection sometimes kicks in before I can reach the ultimate level of sound. It's just a hair too senstive in my opinion. The good side to this is you could never blow out the elements, but I wish I could override it somehow.

I recieved mine for Xmas 2003 and they still sound as good as the day I hooked them up. I was thinking of geting another pair to hook up to my receiver but I wasn't sure if they were still being made. Low and behold here they are. I guess you make a fantastic product and it will stick around.

I have an older amplifier that doesn't have a subwoofer output. I couldn't find any speakers locally that had 15" woofers like my orginal sonys (and sony doesn't make them any more). I did find some speakers with 12" woofers but they were cheap and I blew the midranges in 2 days.
Took a chance on these and have no regrets. The midranges and the tweeters are crisp and clear and the bass rocks the house. I love them so much that I have 4 of them for my right and left front channels. There is also protection built in to prevent damage when I get too wild.

I have had these for 4 months and they are excellent in sound reproduction, the 15 inch bass woofer, produces nice bass, and most the time i dont even have to use my subwoofer at all. Very well constructed. Be sure to uderstand that the price is for only one speaker, Amazon shows a pair, but that price is for each one, not a pair, but still its a excellant buy, compared to higher name brands. Only con is that try to find a online store that uses Fed Ex, I had one speaker shipped by UPS and the carton was tore,and the top of the speaker had lite damage. The other speaker I bought to match I had shipped by Fed EX with no damage.Trick is to find a closer vender to you with less freight handling from mulitple trucks. Happy listening. You will be very happy.
