   I bought it a couple of months ago after reading all the good reviews. My expectation was probably too high for the price. Just so so sound quality that you can get from auto speakers. Again, not terribly bad considering money, but if you want nice home theater quality, I recommend investing a little bit more and go to other speaker sets.

   The speakers came well packaged. They sound great. Later I will be adding their sub since these speakers have turned out so good.

   All I can say is wow. They arrived in two separate boxes each double boxed with lots of styro inside. Everything about them is high end (heavy, tight, brass fittings, nice grills). They sound fantastic and made a great 7.1 set up for my new Pioneer system. They are not as pale as they look in the picture and they are way better than all the “home-theater-in-a-box” plastic trash that I looked at.

   Couldn’t believe the sound right out of the box. I read in other reviews the speakers needed about 10 hours to break in, maybe but I couldn’t tell the difference. I put the speakers through a series of tests, my own. Music was incredible, Supertramp, Telivision movies,OnDemand Fios,new Terminator movie and several DVDs both regular and Blu Ray. I have had many spears systems AR’s, Bose, Panisonic, Marantz. I don’t believe any other speakers sounded this good. I did buy a seperate Dayton 12″ sub to fill in the bass. Now everything is smooth. I recieved the set in 2 days after ordering, of courde I only lve across the border, the speakers were double boxed and everything was in tip top shape when it arrived. by the way I’m running the speakers through a563 Yamaha Receiver.

   To begin, these speakers are better-built than a lot of “fine furniture”. The joints are solid, and the laminate is well-nigh perfect. I’m not overly
   
   fond of the color, but that’s subjective. The weight alone indicates some-
   
   thing more than cheap crap. Sound-wise, the big towers are very pleasing -
   
   maybe a tinge of brightness, but for home-theater I find that to be a plus.
   
   The midrange is clean & detailed. What surprised me the most was the bass-
   
   it’s actually quite satisfying. The bottom octave is missing,but above
   
   that, everything comes through just fine. The center channel does a good job on dialogue, certainly better than some others I’ve heard that cost more than this whole system. The same can be said for the rears. All told, I consider this to be one of my better purchases. Now I’m curious
   
   to try Fluance’s separate center-channel & bipolar rears. We’ll see.
