Small Chinese company, don't give them a bad rap for that. I actually really like these. They're the first speakers I've bought new, but I feel surprisingly as though I haven't been gypped. Considering their size, (a little bit smaller than Linn Tukan's) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these. You can tell that they're small by the sounds they produce, but it's still quite a large and realistic sound. The bass is tight and surprisingly strong, the mid range is phenomenal, the treble is very good, but maybe less so than the rest of the frequency range. I'm a treble head, and can live with it. Listening to these makes me want to check out the other variants of the LS3/5A's.
