Great Speakers

I use good quality speaker wires, everyone says it makes a difference, kind of pricey for wires but it sounds crystal clear.

These are the best speakers I have ever had, I thought my days of blasting music was over till I got these, now I just can't resist to crank up the volume

Awesome

I have these bi-wired with an Onkyo 606, a CS20 center, a 8" polk sub, and RM7 surrounds (left from the original system). Everything sounds great but I am looking to upgrade the receiver in the near future. Then the sub and surrounds. These towers are...

For what I paid, these speakers are, hands-down, unbeatable. Great range and crystal clear. I watched a movie that began with the THX sound preview and was blown away with being able to hear every little detail. They are still breaking in, so I've got...

So far I am totally satisified with the performance to cost ratio ; The packaging was beat up and one speaker was opened and obviuosly barely taped back up...I assume NewEgg shipped it in good condition, I just wish that the shipper (UPS, FEDEX, USPS,...

Elegant Crystal-Clear Full Range Speakers

Newegg had a great price! Extra fast delivery. Relax and order from the comfort of your home.

i was replacing deteriorating (foam surrounds) Sterling Infinity speakers in my home theater with these and boy was I totally blown away! A perfect balance of high, mids, and lows. Great size with relatively small footprint compared to bookshelf...

Boxes were in bad shape, but the speakers were free of blemishes. Be careful with the grills as they are flimsy and don't seems like you could take them on and off a lot

Look Nice, sound pretty good, replacement of the M70's

The port is in the bottom of the speakers and the carpet spikes keeps them just high enough for air to pass through.

Running them off an Onkyo 805 and they can take a lot more power. They sounds really good and i think they will sound better after they are broke in. at the price i bought them for and free shipping i was losing money if i didnt buy them from newegg.

not a huge fan of piano black. - Still look great.

Great speaker - reasonable investment!

I have a pair of the TSI400's as my primary loudspeakers that I am very pleased with. I originally started out with the TSI300's but upgraded. The TSI400's perform very well when listening to 2 channel music but will also blow you away when watching...

Great Sound Quality, Good Power Output, Attractive Design
