How is the balance on these speakers? Does the lows muffle the highs at all? I'm looking for something with clear vibrant highs with balanced lows.

I own two sets of these speakers. I use them for the rear surround 5.1 systems. I think they sound good high and low end maybe a little more on the low end but they are still clear on the high end. I don't know of any set of speakers that can match them for the price. Mow to figure out how to get them without UPS damaging them in shipping? Both sets had shipping damage by the time they got to me.DNS

I found these speakers to be well balanced with good seperation of lows,mids and highs....good response throughout.l use these on a tube amp and turntable in true stereo

These speakers are incredible the 8" woofers make all the difference and don't muffle out the mid or highs at all, in my opinion these are the best speakers I've purchased in a long time. WOULD RECOMMEND

I am no expert or audiophile but I think they have really great sound. No distortion, great highs and lows. I have usd them with my pc to my smartphone.

That really depends on your taste. The speakers give off a great mid rage, descent highs... Not much for lows though. I have a sub and the system sounds awesome.

These speakers have a great sound, but it is a balanced sound with all sound be equaled out, and the bass is there but not thunderous. The speakers are small less than an inch across not loud or booming nor in metal sense. So being that you are into metal maybe Metallica or hard rock like maybe AC/DC (one of my personal favorites) I cannot in good conscious recommend these speakers, for though they do have a fabulous sound for the likes of kitaro and the more mellow music, they are not thunderous in bass etc. I bought them for my wife and for her music they are perfect with beautiful sounding music for such little speakers. But for the more raucous and loud booming music I cannot honestly recommend these speakers.

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.

Yes they are balanced and no sound interference. My musician friend was surprised I got this for far less than the $80 he paid for his at a local music store here.

A lot is kinda subjective. I'd say the sound is balanced. They provide a full range from highs to lows. It's not a sub woofer, but not a tin can.

These speakers have a well rounded mid range and crisp highs. They should fill in good if you have the low bass covered.

These would be great. They are a well balanced speaker for their size. They even work good for mains teamed up with a sub. For the price you can't go wrong. They sound better than speakers twice the price.

Not screechy at all. I don't pretend to be a sound equipment connoisseur, just an avid music listener, all different types, for my whole life. To my ear these sound superb in the bass, mid and triple range with my device equalizers set to "OFF". That's my opinion.

No static or buzzing...but not completely happy with them. Kind of dull...I also bought a pair of Creative speakers and felt them a little bassy at first, but definitely the best sound quality.

hello, yes, these speakers are very powerful, the downside is that they bring much static noise, so you must make a good EQ and use a maximaizer, that's my recommendation, I have one of these speakers to sell, what I used twice, if you're interested. I hope my answer will help.

Blow them out of the water in every regard IMO, less bass in these though (not an issue for me as I would rather controlled bass than more bass) also depending on what you are used to they are relatively bright as far as lower mid range headphones go. They are unweildy to take out in public if you aren't using them at home though (the M50's do a good job outside) I would recommend going for the A900X's over the A700X's if you can afford the difference though, the Aluminum housing makes a rather large difference imo.

I'm really not sure...I've had my pair for some time now...I've had mine for some time now that I'm honestly not sure. but I am satisfied with them though..i'm glad you asked because I want to purchase another set...I'm confident though they will live up to your expectations... I believe though if you have a weak system they will appear louder than your other speakers, that's how strong they are AND I push mine.....

Just my 02 since I have them. Mine are hooked up to a low power amp. 45wpc if I remember right. That sound good but do not produce a lot of bass. I'm thinking without an amp they would produce even less bass. Hopefully someone has tried them without an amp. The good point on these is I'm hearing far more detail in the music than I ever heard from 2 way and 3 way all in one speakers. I would recommend them even without an amp for that reason. I have the tweeters mounted on the plastic cover behind the side mirrors. It's easier when you keep the wiring within the doors.

If you want "thumpin bass" then yes, get a sub. Overall balance is good but not bass heavy. They are not tweeters only, they have a 6.5" speaker cone too. They probably would come to life with an amp pushing them.

Depends ..how you place them is important I found out.Any place I tried sounded bad until I put em 8" from the floor.They have good mids if set a 8o hz crossover. Lower they sound good but a lil less so .The 153s are better and have a airy quality that is great , their off axis much better also. But I don't like using a sub for music and at full range these excel .Decent bass and all ,that is if you turn up the volume.At low volume..um no .Always some trade off,no speaker is perfect .For movies and the sub on they are great.I cross over at 70 for that.
