If you want the house-shaking, window-rattling theater experience, better get something a little bigger. In my mid-size living room (20x14), they begin to destort at VERY modest levels. The center channel is very good for the package price; produces more than adequate vocals. Rear surround's sound great too.until you want to pump the volume up on that favorite action scene.
The speakers are driven by a Sony STR-DG910; 7.1. To complete this set up I plan to up the speaker wire size from 18ga to something 14ga or larger.
That should improve things. Also plan to add a sub-woofer and maybe some different fronts.
I think I was a little naive prior to this purchase on what I was actually buying. The overall volume is not as loud as I thought it would be.
Any other ideas. I have since connected the speakers and find they do enhance the overall sound quality of DVD's and TV.
I am running some JBL book shelf speakers for the fronts for now.
Overall, a good deal. Not monster cable, but it'll do for the time being). There probably are better surround-sound speakers out there, but for 100 bucks, what's not to like. The center channel speaker works very well and the surround speakers hang nicely on the wall (speaker wire included, too.
They may be small, but they pack one hell of a punch in terms of sound quality. They have amazing clarity and sound awesome for both movies and music. For $100 it is well worth it. If you are looking for a set of great sounding speakers and you don't want to spend a lot of money, look no further. I bought this set to replace my Jensen floorstanding speakers and man was I impressed.
The rear speakers add great depth to movies. I've never experienced that kind of sound before.EDIT: I just upgraded my receiver to the STR-DG720, even more amazing. I have this set paired with the SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers. I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean 2 to test things out, it's like you're in the movie. These speakers are a match with other Sony products. These speakers sound amazing compared to my old speakers. The center channel is crisp and clear.
