I demo'd these with a HD-CD "Galactic - Crazy Horse Mongoose" The guy at the store was so impressed with that CD that he ordered it immediatly for a store demo copy. I still have to get a decent AVR, currently ussing a stereo Yamaha RX595 with 60w channel, but movies & music still sound great, and I know when I get my bid accepted on eBay for the denon AVR 4802 these speakers will rock even better. These speakers have great dimension (musical range), and they look real perty too, so you will have no problem with the Spousal Approval Factor. And if you are going to get one sub, make it 2 and *really* feel the power ! (Of course, the sub is what gets you in trouble with neighbors more than any other part of the system)īut I digress. Not to say they don't handle bass, but when you want to feel it in your bones, as much as hear it you need a sub with almost any speaker.
Yes, you will *want* a sub to compliment them.
Like most everyone else here says, these things are great sounding, great looking.
