Poor quality, not suitable for use.

In the cinema, they play at 100, even without a subwoofer due to the low bass, very clear highs and mids. The average bass can only compensate for the "singing" subwoofer, 8".
For music, I advise you to take into account the size of the speakers and their number, take outdoor speakers. If the small room is 15 m2, for good mid-bass it is best to take with 8" speakers or with a lot of 6.5" speakers. For completely different money there are exceptions. And of course, do not forget that for 8 inch speakers you need a low-impedance amplifier, or a very good receiver. Happy shopping everyone!

Pros

After almost a month of "warming up", the sound is very clear at the top and middle, the detail is normal. There is a lower bass and it is also not bad. Excellent build quality and components, extremely reliable in use. Excellent positioning, just perfect for movies and games, determine exactly where the projectile will fly at you and feel its shock wave on yourself.

Cons

The middle bass is almost completely absent at any distance, on the receiver it has to be twisted with an equalizer to the edge (the receiver is 5 times more expensive than the speakers, I think there is enough amplifier there). For music, these speakers are contraindicated. The price is too high, for plastic speakers, with plastic tweeters. They play worse than Magnat 200, which are much cheaper. Setting the Japanese did not save them, I will sell.
