I have them, and they sound larger than they look. Soundstage can be very encompassing and enveloping. Details are rich, vocals are almost in-your-face. Bass is as accurate as can be without the need for a separate sub. I use a Nakamichi AV-10 avr with them, and i honestly can say that you will never want for more power and volume in your listening area with this combination. At present, i would be hard put to find a better pair in this price range, so for now, they stay where they are. =)
