Nice Speakers
I have these installed in my 7.1 surround system and do not use them for anything more than surround but I am happy with the output I've heard from them.

OK, but not much base
Bought and then returned these for larger speakers that could produce lower bass. OK clarity, midrange was fine but as the only speakers in the room they didn't produce enough lows for my taste.

You get more than what you pay for
Others have provided bad reviews for these speakers based on poor frequency response. We are only talking about a speaker capable of handling 60 Watts but when you hook them up to a bookshelf stereo you are going to get bookshelf stereo sound.
I bought 5 pairs of these speakers for my whole house audio (WHA) based on nothing more than reviews and price. Now mind you, I have these hooked up to a very high quality Denon receiver with 2x110 Watts driving all of the WHA speakers. I am MORE than satisfied with the sound of these little marvels. Come on, under 30 bucks a pair when the closest comparable in-ceiling speaker from Best Buy or similiar would be 150 bucks a pair.
I am extremely happy with my purchase, the speakers look beautiful in my ceilings and I feel the sound is more than adequate for WHA speakers. They will never be played at high volume levels and should not be expected to. While installing these I had them playing music and you could easily hear the boost in bass level once installed in the ceiling (acoustic baffle is the attic).
Don't expect these to be your main speakers for your home theater, that is not what they are designed for. But if you want some speakers perfect for background music for a VERY good price ... these are for you!

Great speakers for the price
I bought these speakers to go with other Audiosource speakers I bought last year. The model is slightly different, but I thought they are a great value for the money. I have not been disappointed.

Good bang for the buck!
I used these for my whole house audio. They sound very good for the price. I would order these again if I needed inexpensive speakers that seem to have good quality. I don't know what these would be like in a home theater setup, but they are great for getting quality sound into all areas of your home.
