While these speakers are highly regarded, I cannot share that opinion. A few weeks later (right after Revain's returns window closed, of course) the sound from one of the speakers stopped and my Sony receiver went into PROTECT mode as soon as I turned the volume up past a whisper. Sony is often criticized for its PROTECT mode. In this case it worked correctly as the receiver received almost all of the power reflected back into it from the blown speaker. I've never driven these speakers too hard; You've always played at an average level. I replaced these speakers with well known brands and all problems with my receiver went away. In retrospect, I should have spent $40-50 more for a brand I'm familiar with.
