Hey everyone, I saw a pair of these listed for sale locally and I couldn't find many reviews about them when I looked them up.

Thanks in advance

It means they were designed to work in a larger space, and may not sound awesome plopped in a living room. Eq will very likely be necessary. Ymmv.

But it doesn't mean they won't sound fantastic either. Plenty of us have auditorium-worthy setups in inappropriately small spaces. Welcome to the club.
