I made a search and could not find too much related to the Atriums; I have a pair of 55's powered through an Adcom 535 and my tube pre (second output) ant they sound awesome. Today I was in my backyard (thanks to this WEIRD winter that gave us a January with an average around 45) listening to the Brothers in Arms CD, and was really impressed on how those small speakers performed.

Anyone else has a pair of these? What are your thoughts??

    I recently bought some 55s to put out back but just have not got around to it yet. Hope to by next weekend. I was impressed with just the quick listen inside when I first got them.

    I have had the 55's for a few years. When I first unboxed these I connected them to my main system (Krell showcase pre/pro & amp) with the Atriums sitting on bar stools as temp speaker stands. I was real pleased with their performance. My wife arrived home during the demo and said that she thought they sounded really good for a speaker that small. I have since used them in my garage in winter and outside in the summer, powered by a Denon 3802. They sound pretty good outdoors. I could recommend the Atruim 55.

    I have a pair of 55's out on the back patio.
    When I first hooked them up....they sounded very tight and constrained, not pleasant at all.
    But within a few weeks, they mellowed and now sound pretty damn smooth considering their size.
