Clear, open sound
I bought these speakers for bedroom use. I listen to classical music mostly. The speakers produce clear, open sound, emphasizing the high end and giving the impression of an acoustically "live" room. I find this efffect pleasant although realistically this not exactly what you would hear in a typical concert hall. On the other hand, deep base is deemphasized. Other reviewers have said they have obtained satisfactory results by adding a sub-woofer.Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase. It will be difficult to improve on this without spending considerably more money.
