How are these for use as front speakers for music CDs ?

I use them as front speakers in my theatre system. They are great. The sub reproduces below 150 Hz. CD's sound crisp and clear.

These speakers are not designed to be used as front speakers; you could look instead at the JBL ES30BK 3-Way, 6" Bookshelf Speakers... (pair for $200.00)

I use mine for surrounds, where the work fine. But for a front set of speakers, I'd suggest the larger ones. The es10 has only a 4 inch woofer.

We use them just like any indoor outdoor speakers. They work just fine with CD and Ipod music.

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.

Yes, it will power them fine, and the speakers put out great, clear sound so they should work very good as front speakers

They are on the back of the TV, which doesn't seem like a very good design. So I plugged in some speakers (which I had on-hand from an old computer) and it sounds much better. It was easy to do. I have heard that other TV's, including Vizio (which were in my price range) have their speakers on the front, which makes a lot more sense to me. I wish I had researched this more myself before my purchase....good question!

PS. To connect them to a cd player you need to be able to adjust the volume in the player. The speakers don't have volume control. I use either a sound card (echo audio fire 4) or a headphones amp. Or u can rip your music and play as flac from your pc.

Same here, I have them as front speakers. Rear will probably do great as well.

They require a AV -Receiver or a separate power Amp. I used these for rear surrounds for years and they were the bang for the buck for sure. Good sound too!

Yeah, I use them for burning lossless, both from CD's, LP's and online digital sources. Don't know if they're an advantage over other CD-R's, but VERBATIM is my CD-R of choice. I sometimes use MAXELL, but not SONY ( alot of "propritory" problems with my equipment.). And, yes, you could call it a "hipster" thing......I'm a product of the '50's~'60's generation!!!

I'm using these as fronts in a 5.1 set up. They are powered by a Harmon Kardon 1510 AVR, rated to oush 75w per. Believe m when I tell you that you will abslutely NOT be disappointed with these speakers as fronts. They will handle bass (tight and solid), midrange and highs (clarity and detail). They have a zobel crossover configuration in them so you can't go wrong. These are very good speakers, and will stand up to speakers costing more then twice as much. If you doubt, just youtube it for a user review.

I use them as front speakers with a bottom line Yamaha home threatre and they are easy to drive. The rear speakers we use are high end polks-- which provide the bass and high quality mid and high range. These bright Bic's can provide for a better listening experience on some vocals and movie tracks. But I dont consider them as stand alone .. due to the distortion at the high end and very limited bass output except if you drive them to ear crushing bone breaking levels. they are an entry level spkr -- for those on a tight budget-- so they do have a nitch.. but dont expect miracles and then you wont be disappointed. I'm not sorry I picked them up --- due I like the brightness they add on certain piano music as well.

This is a Pro CD Player, it holds 1 CD ... as for speakers they are required, and yes that would be a sep purchase along with a seperate amp, this player would then be hooked directly to a board and or preamp. Otherwise the only way you would hear anything is to plug some headphones into the headphone jack.

they will work, but they won't sound as good used as main ... intended as surrounds

I was just wondering if these speakers would be compatible with a RCA Pearl 512 MB MP3 player, and Walkman CD players

I wouldn't recommend it, they are excellent computer speakers and you'd probably blow them up. You could get a headphone jack converter and run them out of there.

If you are using them for your rear speakers, they will be just fine with your system. We have about same set up and they work very nice.
