    Yea, I've had a few pairs of them over the years. The 52 is an average speaker at best.
    The s-62 they made was a huge jump in sound but still an average speaker.
    Pass on them unless you're just wanting to throw away money or need target stands.

    Synergistics was more or less a house brand; Stereo Discounters (HQ in Timonium, MD, back in the olden days) sold 'em, e.g. They tended to use CTS cone drivers (and some, Motorola piezos) and they actually sounded better than they looked like they should.

    Yeah... that driver arrangement looks like something a 3 year old would throw together. :D
