First, I am well aware of the saying you get what you pay for but, in this case, I think I could have got better sound for cheaper. Or at the very least the same quality for cheaper. After reading all the rave reviews about the sound of these speakers I really had my hopes up. I really want to love these speakers, I do. But truth be told, my 10 year old Altec Lansing ACS 340's sound better than these. Unfortunately, based on reviews alone, I took a chance buying them without trying them first.because the display model was not working at the store.
With the exception of the base which is surprisingly nice for the size, rich with no busing or popping, everything sounds hollow and flat, no dimension at all. I plan to take these back.
