These are excellent for their size and price. Engaging midrange (a must for me), forgiving highs, and surprisingly deep and taught bass for their size.

I've used them for roughly one month in my home theater as I waited for the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s to become available to match and complete my system.

Original box, packing, and manual.

These sell new for $249 a pair at several e-tailers.

$205 shipped to the conus.

    These are best in class contending speakers, in near-mint condition -- bottoms may have slight imperfections due to sitting atop spiked stands. Definitely a speaker to consider if you're looking for a relatively small bookshelf speaker in this price range. Very musical.
