- Though not easy to set up, these speakers are worth the effort. We started these out with some music (Hendrix, Chopin, Brubeck), and were immediately struck by the generous and detailed sound stage. At the same, the midrange didn't sound nearly as clean as you'd expect from speakers in this price range. Within the first 30-40 minutes, though, the speakers had opened up to an extent that had to be heard to be believed, resulting in greatly improved overall sound quality. Later we tried HT, and found, for example, that softer tones were rendered with exceptional delicacy, while ample "slam" was delivered when needed. In a smaller room, you can definitely get by without a sub. The only thing I'd add is that the overall sound is a little on the bright side, so you'll probably want to steer clear of brighter-sounding receivers/amps. Also, we were using the satellite floor stands for the L/R and the small center stand, all of which I recommend.
