A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I have them on the rears, my system: System Audio Mantra 30 fronts, System Audio Mantra 10 AV center, Onkyo TX-NR 609 receiver The room is about 20 meters, but the bass is enough for those that the front speakers give out Has some pros A huge number of installation options, excellent sound, despite the fact that the case is made of plastic. Excellent value for money With its cons. Very conditional - low frequencies are not as rich as we would like, but you should not demand bass from satellite

Great sound, easy installation and beautiful appearance.

Apartment life has many limitations when it comes to building a good surround sound system, but it's amazing. I bought four, two for use as front height speakers and two for surround sound. They're paired with a Polk CS10 center speaker, a pair of Infinity P153 bookshelves, and a 10-inch subwoofer. Started with Onkyo HTIB three years ago and the sound difference is like night and day. I told myself I'd wait until I got everything hooked up next bank holiday weekend, but once I had them Iโ€ฆ

Used these slanted front 2 speakers for ATMOS - works great!

This rating is based on the fact that they are only used for surround sound (ATMOS front speakers in particular). I get a definite improvement with atmospheric blur over the previous one. I feel the scenes above my head, not from my speakers. For $100, you can't beat them as spontaneous atmospheric speakers. give them a chance Read on for more details. My system is a 5.1.2 system where I used a Level 3 HTD for the fronts and an Infinity primus p163 for 2 rears, a Rythmik LV12R for the sub and a

Very surprised by the best speakers

Well, let me start by saying that I'm a fan of home theater. Over the past 20 years I've upgraded and upgraded enough that I still have all of Polk's quality floorstanding speakers. We recently moved and I wanted to do a cleaner install with rear speakers in my basement. I wanted in-wall speakers that were indiscreet and space efficient, but I was afraid of losing the sound quality and fidelity of my floor-standing speakers. I bought 2 of these and tried them, I thought worst case I wouldn'tโ€ฆ

They are taller than I thought and wider! I'm glad I didn't buy the

I did a lot of research before purchasing these speakers and I was on the border between these speakers, OWM5, The Boston Acoustic Soundware 5.5 inch and Polk Atrium 5. I am currently using them as left and surround direct in a 7.1 setup. Advantages 1. Multi-directional mounting. The speakers definitely did the job and I mounted mine at a 45 degree angle and pressed it against the ceiling and wall. You don't need any special mounting hardware for this, just a few screws and a few drywallโ€ฆ

Pros
  • from OWM5. Everything is great!
Cons
  • Weight

Maybe I expected too much - piercing highs and almost no lows

Let's start with the good - it's a unique design that's really quite versatile in terms of mounting options. I had no color issues at all, mine look just like the picture. The stands are well made and easy to attach, but inexplicably difficult to remove. Also, these are dynamics - there's nothing further to dig in the physical realm. The problem here is the sound - maybe the reviewers here are being very generous, or maybe they've never had a pair of speakers for more than $50, but either way -

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Interchangeable
