Can get a pair of these from NewEgg for 299 shipped. Anyone had or heard these speakers?

    Seems so cheap.. I want to try them as well.

    I think it's funny how they're 4ohms, but it says "Compatible with 4, 6, or 8 Ohm rated amplifiers."

    funny.

    They are worth $299 I will say that but if you can swing it for the 12's you will enjoy them more with the dipole midrange that the 10's dont have

    To determine the worth of the 10 you really have to ask what you need them for ? If its your goal to build a complete HT system then I would stay away because the only good center is the C2 and thats like $800 and the dipole surrounds are $400 each

    The 12s are 399 EACH. Big money to step up. You can always buy another 10 for a center if you have the space....

    yeah, I don't get that either. They don't need a lot of power and are efficient, so I don't think it's too much of an issue. The issue is that my wife will straight up murder my a$$.

    They may be efficient but you will need alot of juice to get them going good. This is because the folded motion is small and hard to drive. The new 2nd generation of folded motion tweeters are redesigned and are twice as large so they can get out alot more sound with fewer watts

    i've been tracking the 12's for like 6 weeks now. They are not 399 at all, more like 300, and i saw them twice for 270 with a $50 discount code.
    The cabinets look cheap tho..

    Never heard them, but I assume they are a nice sounding speaker by the design; especially for the price.
