content: I won't over hype these speakers as the greatest, but for what I paid for them they handle what I need. First lets talk about what is good. The price of this set will get any home theater going under 80 dollars, which is almost amazing. The sound is modestly good. The bad on the other hand can be over looked because of the price. The wire that does come with the speakers is so thin I wouldn't trust it as a pro for buying the speakers. These speakers offer virtually no bass response. I wouldn't recommend using them without a powered sub. When compared to higher priced speakers using the same equipment these speakers show there limitaions. The sound is almost harsh when compared to more expensive set of speakers. But you will probably only notice it if you hook up another set of speakers. For anyone who is building a home theater and it looking for a cheap way to get off the ground I can't imagine a better set of speakers for the price.
