I have (3) 100' (2) 200' (2) sub' (2) 150' Monster Speakers/System. Connected to Onkyo TX-SR 806. It sound real awesome!!! Clear sound that can hardly be matched!!! Can't find any more out there for sell. But I've got the best for a great, great deal! Later! E. Vargas - California

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.

They're honestly not "good" for any usage, but they'll be functional for both of those. Better choice would be the micca mb42x or pioneer Andrew Jones speakers. They're smaller, but are farrrr better designed and, surprisingly, even have better bass response.

I think they sound real good and look real good. The jack is kind of loose though so you have to twist it around sometimes to get both speakers working. I don't know if that's just mine, though.

well, it's really hard to say. i never heard of these speakers until now. i reviewed them on youtube and i'm ipressed. how they will sound with this amp is a mistery to me. but, try to find info on-line of people who use these speakers for music. sorry i can't help anymore than that. happy hunting. but, if these speakers are amplified i would'nt recommended it. you'll probably blow them. thanks...aj..

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony. My primary speakers are Athena 125 watts per speaker, each containing a woofer, subwoofer & tweeter. I have had these Cerwin Vega VE5M speakers for about six months now, and am very pleased with the quality & sound. Although they sound great alone, I use them in conjunction with my Athenas & the increase in sound range is incredible. Although I'd highly recommend the Cerwins alone, with systems like ours, they are designed to increase the sound range, and they do the job! your system will sound twice as good if you add these to your existing speakers (although you might find they out-class your Yamahas!) -Good listening-Will I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony.

I'm certainly not an expert and I've only owned the 12" models. I'd say they're plenty loud for me. Just need to find an amplifier that will give them enough power (they occupy a weird spot that's too high for most home amps, but don't need as much power as most pro amps put out). One piece of advise I was given though is that if you listen to a lot of rap or hip hop with heavy bass you'll want bigger speakers for more noise, but if you listen to rock or dance music with faster bass then you want smaller speakers because they respond quicker.

This seems well within the specs of the speakers. And they sound great. I mean blow your mind great. You can't go wrong with this mid-level Klipcsh, high end consumer/low end audiophile speakers, for bang for the buck .This Sony amp looks pretty good, however, you could probably do better. Consider a Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Marantz.

Hi Peter, I work for a home cinema company and have these on a Marantz 8801. They are the most under rated speaker on the market, they can be a little bass heavy (it is controlled bass mind you) this is easily adjusted anyway in a nutshell Amazing speakers and massively under priced :)

I think that would be pushing it. They sound great, but that's in a relatively closed environment. Take a look at a speaker brand called energy take. They are Inexpensive, and an incredible bargain. You would need an amp, but you could try finding a cheap used one. Have fun!

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

I really don't recommend them - I used to have the Creature II and they were awesome, high quality speakers - after 8 years of great usage they finally gave, and I switched to Creature III thinking they would be similar - to my disappointment they were so cheap, the sound was low quality, the membranes gave after 2 months of medium utilization - I now have Logitechs and I am very happy with them, very deep base sound, have had them for a bout 1 year now and no problems, sound is beautiful -

They're good speakers. They don't have any bass. For an in-wall/ceiling speaker, I live them. But I also have other speakers that fill out the sound spectrum.
