Product Review (submitted on February 17, 2022):

Broke these in as mains, and they imaged well and sounded great as "small" speakers in my home theater. As surrounds they blend well with my Canton GLE series fronts. The drivers used are ok; nothing special. The enclose is almost a work of art. Very good looking and solid construction. I personally like the mounting mechanism; they just require some skill to get the screws at the right distance apart as there is only a millimeter or two of wiggle room. My only negative experience is there is a slight lack of midbass when not wall mounted, but you do not get that in a speaker designed for wall mounting as wall mounting emphasizes the bass due to boundary reinforcement. The crossover in a wall mounted speaker should adjust for the boundary reinforcement by shelving the bass output. This one definitely seems to, so no putting these on a stand in the middle of the room (exactly what I was doing while breaking them in).
