I wonder if they're any good?

It's certianly hard to argue with the price, but the drivers are cheap stuff - the woofers are nothing special, and the tweeters are likely in the same range as the $5 Dayton neo tweeters or $9 hi-vi K1's. (For my $100, I'd rather go with the ZaphAudio silver flute/vifa combos.)

That said, it's the crossover that makes the speaker, and you can do a lot with a little if you're good at it.
 
These are the same thing as the R30's they've been selling for years! :thumbsdn:

The R50's are the ones to get if you can find them. :thmbsp:

Otherwise, the Insignias or Radiience still reign supreme.........:yes:
