I had a pair of these for a while -- they were part of a package deal, but the whole package turned out to be crap. They started out in the living room (my wife liked their looks), then were moved to the family room where I had a chance to really listen to them. Bass was marginally adequate but mids were muddy with any more than one or two instruments and highs were incredibly shrill and screechy. Ultimately, I just wanted them out of the house (and I couldn't in good faith promote them as worth buying), so I just dumped them at the local thrift store. A lesson learned.
