    I bet you they don't sound very good with Insignia and Cerwin Vega components. They are also not that big as those are only duel 12" woofers. I guess to each his own, but definitly not for $400...

    Those are nothing compared to the plans I've been working on. ;)

    Having those speakers in the foreground of the picture, with the blinds as a backdrop, definitely gives the impression that they're much bigger.

    Yeah, from the looks of it you would have to be seated at or near the ceiling to get the sweet spot. If it actually has one, that is....

    I'm sure Bens blow those away in every aspect. Hmmm, that statement doesn't seem nearly strong enough.

    I believe the sweet spot is everywhere those things aren't.

    Bolting drivers in box with a generic pre-built crossover is a recipe for garbage. The box itself is as much a part of the system as any other piece. I bet those things will bounce across the floor nicely.

    The reflections of those HF drivers near the ceiling have to be ridiculous. Seriously I wouldn't even want to hear them. Not even out of curiosity.
