Acoustic Research Status S 40

Decent AR sound. Decent resolution in the highs. Decent bass extension

Lacking detail. Imaging is almost non-existant. Mid-frequencies sound pretty bad. Bland Tone. Sloppy bass, not tight. Distorted Bass

Exeptional midrange and highs excellant esound stage very good bass. Video shielded. High power handling. (They get very loud at 60 watts) I use a Pioneer Elite VSX-24 (90 watts and I really dont need any more watts)

Only a (3)6.5 inch woofers so you definitely need a sub for the ground shaking home theater experience. Musically not necessary. They are 46 inches tall so if youre not putting them in corners or next to a big screen they may look out of place. (some...
