Can these be used as music speakers on there own as opposed to enhancing a home theatre system? Do they give the full sound of a floor standing?

In addition to the other responses, these speakers are designed to be used with a subwoofer, and do not produce low frequencies.

Bear, These do not send sound straight at you so they normally would not be the best choice as your front speakers.Eric C

I would not. They will disperse the sound instead of directing it at the listening position.

They are the best possibility in a price-performance relation. They were not intended as a part of a surround system of any kind, just a pair of fair stereo speakers, but they perform excellent and their sound is superb. I would strongly recommend them for your TV sound system.

Yes you can but it would sound better if using an amp. They will still work however. =)

Yes you can. They sound very good! You don't want them to be overpowered by anything bigger than a Klipsch F-30 in the front tho in my opinion.

You CAN, but that's probably not the best idea. These are passive speakers which require an amplifier vs active speakers which don't.

I agree with Ron they are meant for a studio setting which means the sounds are deep and rich but don't carry very far. I would suggest looking for speakers that don't have "monitor" in the name.

They are louder than you standard PC speakers and they are very rich sounding for such small speakers, but they are not a substitute for your home stereo system. I have bought 2 sets of these and am very pleased with them. BTW, you don't need an AC outlet for these!

I use them for dj work and have a great sound at a higher setting. For home you may want a sub woofer for lower volume. I love them! Great eye appeal!

I would recommend you mount them on the wall rather than using stands. They are fairly light and easy to hang and sound great on the wall behind your listening area as they radiate sound in all directions. I'm very happy with mine.

If they are being used as surround speakers, they should be fine. If they are to be used as main speakers you will not have good bass response or volume without a sub woofer.

These are not floorstanding speakers, they need to be at ear level. Otherwise, you will not properly hear the mids and highs

These are in wall and not free standing speakers, unless you have wiring in wall already these won't work for you. I love mine! Since they are in wall, they work excellent for my application. They rock with good mid tones and base and for the price you can't beat them.

no they don,t nor do they come with floor stands. They are bookshelf speakers.

yes they do, i love them, in fact i run them with a DC300 which will find any flaws in any speakers and they sound spectacular. they are all you need for a residence as they will certainly shake stuff off the wall and respond extremely low. for a PA system you will want some dedicated bass drivers etc. there isnt really anything out there that can touch them fir the price as a full range speaker

They aren't long enough for you to put them at the edges of your room, but you will be able to get them far enough apart to give a good atmospheric sound. These are pretty darned good for the price, but if you are looking to have a home theater sound quality, you'll probably want to go with a more expensive set up.

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?
