How do these compare to the Acoustimass 3 speakers with the subwoofer?

I have the Acoustimass 3 speakers as well and in my opinion there is no comparing! The Bose 161 are wired into my shop walls. I have 4 speakers that were installed and wired in during building construction. They are average mid-range. The superior sound is with the acoustimass 3 and they are part of my surround sound in my living room. Great sound!

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great

Hello Matthew, I am not using the subwoofer that come with the speakers. I have a Polk Audio sub and it is still working great. The speakers, on the other hand, are great. I have a hearing problem and I am hearing sounds I never heard from movies before so I have been rewatching a lot of them to hear the richness of the sounds I have been missing.As far as getting a cable, you get what you pay for. You don't have to buy the best but don't get the cheap one.

No, these are amazing! I bought a pair B stock for $230 off of Ebay (after $20 Bing cashback), and I love them! I have had them for several weeks now with no issues. The only minor expected problem is a tiny rattle in the left speaker when playing LOW bass, as in below 40 Hz. But it's very slight, and as I said, expected. For $230, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the speakers on eBay (sorry it's so long): http://cgi.ebay.com/Audioengine-5-Speakers-White-B-Stock-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ260493630912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca6a15dc0 The black pairs are all out unfortunately.

Well I have a set of aperion verus forte speakers. I love how they sound with my 818. Crystal clear. I have them in a large bedroom. I didn't have the cash for the grands. They're pretty back ordered though. They also have an awesome return/upgrade policy. Aperionaudio.com. Can't say for other brands though since I haven't heard others.

Tough question. It depends on your point-of-reference. This is a very inexpensive system so no, the subwoofer is not audiophile-quality. I recommend going for a stand-alone powered subwoofer for the same money (for example, http://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-Audio-CS-PS65-C-Powered-Subwoofer/dp/B00IGDRRU4/ref=sr_1_24?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1399656708&sr=1-24&keywords=subwoofer).

They woould be very bright, crisp and clear and would diffently need a subwoofer. I've always been a Klipsch fan and would recommend something larger for the main speakers if you have the room and the budget but overall these would work really well.

The sound quality is a nice clear crisp sound through both speakers. The sub produces an abnormal sound it's not like most subs to where the bass is somewhat dragged instead its more smooth and clear. Now, the Genius is apparently the better set statistically having 6 more watts, but unfortunately I have never owned a pair of those speakers myself. I guess it comes down to what you are using them for. My best guess would be to review the MOST recent 5,4,3,3,1 star comments of the Genius to determine if there are any problems.

My experience has been that they change very little. Remember these are not really high end audiophile speakers but near field monitors. The bass is clean but you really need a sub to improve the low end. I used the Emotiva XSP-1 preamp with the XLR connection to the Stealth 6 monitors.

They are in my opinion the exact same. I use the TSI 400's with a CS 10 center and a Polk 10" sub, and Polk in the back, and an Onkyo head unit. The TSI's have a great mid and highs and are said to have great bass(I keep my sub at tolerable levels). The bass coming from the TSI's and sub is incredible!! Movies or music, they rock!!The specs are basically the same but the TSI's are "newer" with piano finish and such. I am very happy with them!!!

A2+ is a better setup, but it is a little bass light due to the small size.They sound good alone, but a sub really fills them out and makes them that much better.Personally, I would not like to run them without a sub; I run mine with a Polk PSW10.

I cannot compare the two sets, but I can tell you this: the Definitive Technology AW 6500 has a 10" woofer that reflects back off the mounted wall and gives incredible bass presence to the sound, plus a 6.5 mid-speaker as well as the 1" tweeter. The speakers you want to compare with these has a 5.5 inch woofer and a 1" tweeter. I don't see how the Klipsch can possible compare in fidelity.

Well, they are pretty close spec wise, I can't speak to how they sound in comparison but the audiopipe are 750 RMS 1500 peak, theses are 1200 RMS 2400 peak, these are 95db efficiency where audiopipe is 92db these have a 3" voice coil where the others are 2.5" (which IIRC means it would be capable of slightly more excursion).

These speakers are pretty good. They definitely will fill the room and the sub is pretty decent. My buddy had the logitech and they are just as good if not better. The logitech id have to say honestly sounds a bit better but either way you really cant go wrong. I have the cyber acoustics and i'm satisfied with my purchase.

For speakers in this price point, they would do quite well as surround speakers. I brought my pair of AW150s in for the winter and am using them in the home office. They come with a base plate to be free standing as well as wall mounted. With a Pinnacle sub-woofer providing low bass, they sound quite nice. Do they sound as great as the Klipsch RS-41s used for the home theatre? No. But the Klipsch cost 5 time as much.

Yes they are better. I have 800 watts rms pushing them and its just one speaker.

Sup Chris? I was very satisfied with the sound and physical quality of these speakers. They produce great mids and highs, plus pretty moderate in car bass. if you have subs your life will change:)

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!
