I've been wanting a home theater audio setup in my basement for a while now so when these speakers went on sale in June I snagged them. I paired them with an Onkyo receiver I got used from a friend, and after a couple hours of mucking around in my ceiling we got everything set up and calibrated.
Before I talk about the audio, I'd like to describe the speakers themselves, which are quite good looking. The fabric coverings are quite high quality, the plastic cases are unobtrusive and nice looking, and the sub will vanish surprisingly well with good placement. The speakers hang by two screw slots, and are light enough to put almost anywhere. I put my front speakers directly on the wall and my back speakers on shelves so they could be turned into the room.
There are only two issues when mounting the speakers, and in fact these are the only issues in general. First, while the spring clips you connect your speaker wire to are big and easy to use, there is no channel for the wire in the back of the speaker housing. In other words, if you want the speakers mounted directly to the wall (which looks great, by the way) you'd better run your wire through the wall too because the wire needs to come out DIRECTLY behind the speaker. Second, the speakers can only wall-mount facing straight out, so if you don't have walls on both sides of your viewing area, you will need shelves like I got. I am not dinging the item any stars for this as these are both common issues in surround sound speakers, and I don't want to gripe too much about 80 dollar speakers...
...Especially when they sound so good! In spite of their size, there is not a trace of tinniness to these speakers, and properly calibrated via your receiver, they will provide SEAMLESS surround sound. I just let a movie play the other night and walked between them; except when a sound was meant to come from a certain direction it was almost impossible to tell that what I was hearing was coming from any one speaker. Even when you listen to a basic stereo or mono video, the audio will fill a small space very effectively. And when you do watch something in 5.1, the quality is really excellent. It may sound like an odd choice, but when I showed my son one of the Thomas the Tank Engine films last night (yes there are Thomas MOVIES, and yes they are in 5.1) the distribution and depth of audio was really spot on.
If you have a small to midsized room, I would not hesitate to buy these speakers, even at full price. They are an outstanding value. Just be aware that you will need a receiver to use them (or any device with 5.1 output, I suppose).

Love the sound of the speaker. I'm getting some interference sound with the mics. Have to figure out how to have it not cut out in bluetooth mode while using the mics. The speaker itself though is powerful not even at full capacity. The mics themselves have great volume and not at full capacity. So far so good.
