Great Choice for High Quality  Reasonably priced speakers

We have an old-school, excellent sound system with CD/tape/turntable/receiver and wanted to make it bluetooth compatable.  We purchased the Lantoo blue tooth transmitter/receiver and these speakers so that we can listen to our system outside.  They connected perfectly - but with A LOT of perseverance! I initially couldn't get them to pair.  I tried every audio out option on our stereo receiver and, after lots of research, ended up getting a headphone jack adapter at Radio Shack so that I could connect the Lantoo through the jack.  This was the actual solution that worked the best.  The speakers sound awesome and are perfect for our backyard parties.  They can be heard easily over the party noises.  The quality of the sound is totally acceptable considering the price AND that they are bluetooth with the sound coming through the headphone jack!!

My wife bought me these as an early Christmas gift. Initially, I was looking at similarly priced Polk Audio RTI A3 Bookshelf Speakers, but I got the sense that Polks were too "bright, clean, and loud". This is not necessarily bad, but I don't want speakers to color my music so much. Ultimately, I opted to pair English designed speakers with my English designed amp. So far, they're sounding very warm and balanced. The boom is in the bass and the high notes are clear with plenty of spaciousness. I use these primarily for vinyl but have tested out CDs and MP3 of Big Band, Afro-Cuban, and Rock. The 3 formats vary greatly so be patient if the sound isn't as perfect as you expect - some sources are poorly produced and these Wharfedales will show the flaws. The iPod sounds the worst, by the way. I do not stream or do the home theatre thing so I can't comment on that, but you can certainly add a subwoofer to the mix if needed.

It seems the speakers like to be in the open, so I have them in a 12' x 14' room with 3 feet from any wall. Once you get you the listening "sweet spot" in their placement, you will enjoy lots of detail and depth at moderate volume. They also perform well at higher volumes, although I have not really blasted them full tilt. Having them at high volumes seems to indicate that they're not made for that anyway.

Overall: I think they're great - especially at the discounted price. If I ever win the lottery, I would have a set of floor standing Wharfedale Airedales and big fat McIntosh amps, but these speakers fit the space, are easy to move around, and maintain a low profile in the living room.

Equipment:
Cambridge Audio Azur 651A Integrated amp @ 75 watts per channel
25 foot Blue Jeans Cable custom cut 12 AWG with compression banana plugs
Sand-filled API Steel stands

PROs:

-high quality sound

I really like these speakers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great sound for a OEM replacement or full custom install.

Highs and mids sound crisp and clear. Not much low end so adding a sub is a must. Looks beautiful and feels nice and sturdy. These speakers cannot be beat...I got these to replace some Maudio AV40. These sound alot fuller, better midrange and bass. I have it hooked up to Harmon Kardon receiver and use it to listen to music at my computer. Also have Polk RTi8, Rti12, CSI3. Overall polks do not dissapoint they are great value speakers. Highly recommended. (listen to mostly R&B, Rap/hip hop, 80s, pop and techno)

I bought these because a consumer magazine rated the performance of this model's predecessor a "best buy" in floor standing speakers.  They even beat out some very expensive Polks for sonic accuracy.  After getting them installed, they didn't disappoint.  Excellent highs and more than adequate bass especially considering the price paid.

I have owned these speakers for about a year.  I got the pair with apple wood finish for about $1650.  These are very well built heavy speakers. Each speaker weighs about 34 kg unpacked.  I am using them with single wires (not bi-wired) on a Naim Uniti 2 all in one amp.  The Uniti 2 is driving them with extreme ease, and I never needed to go above 50% of the volume. Generally speaking these speakers have a good sound stage, and the treble and midrange are well controlled.  Those who love tight bass need to pay attention to proximity to walls, and to furniture between the speakers, otherwise, bass can get muddy, in which case you may consider closing one or both ports using foam.

These speakers have plenty of good sounds on offer for a reasonable price.  However, they are physically big, and if your space is limited, or do not need weighty bass, or you have a smaller budget, you may want to consider stand mounted speakers like Polk Audio LSiM 703, Dynaudio Excite x14, or Martin Logan 35XT.  Happy listening :)

After months of searching and browsing the web, I finally decided to purchase the Monitor Audio R250s. I just received my new pair of speakers, which I bought for an amazing price on Amazon - $100 per speaker, a savings of $400 per speaker.

I highly recommend that you buy any model of Monitor Audio speakers. You will simply not find speakers that sound and look so good for such low price. The quality of the sound is just incredible from the lows to the mids to the highs you will enjoy every note coming out of these speakers. The design is very slim, modern and elegant and the materials used are of high quality and they will adorn your home.

I was considering buying the Bose or Polk speakers, but you really have tho give Monitor Audio a try. They are a very well know brand in Europe but not as well known in the U.S. The price of these speakers changes on Amazon - depending on demand and supply - so just be patient until you get your dream system for bargain.

These speakers sound great and look really good, too. I can tell they are made of quality materials, as they feel very solid. The speakers are very clear and I love watching movies even more now. They provide adequate bass, and are very clear in the higher frequencies. Even my wife said that these sound much better than the JBL satellite speakers I was using. Polk Audio made a great, affordable product.

I bought this speaker along with 4 others Miccas for my 5.1 home theater system. The speakers arrived on time and well packaged. When I got around to installing them, they were a breeze to install using the included template. I am powering them with an Onkyo TX-SR313 receiver and the sound is crisp, clear and full. I would highly recommend this brand as quality speakers at a reasonable price.

These JBL 2.4G Speakers were almost exactly what I was looking for.  I wanted wirless speakers to play my digital music from my computer out by the pool.  Although they are wireless from the computer, you still have to plug one speaker into a three-pronged outlet.  The second speaker is connected via speaker wire to the primary speaker making them not truly wireless.
However, I have an outlet outside and have set up the speakers on opposite sides and the sound quality is excellent.  Great high notes and superb bass power coming from the speakers.  I thoroughly enjoy them and recommend them.
I previewed them at Frye's electronics and they were retailing for $300.  As I walked around the store, I checked Amazon.com on my phone and saw the same speaker set selling for $160.  As I placed my order online, I thanked the salesman for his time and awaited delivery of my speakers and received them 4 days later.

After reading previous posted reviews, I decided to purchase these JBL speakers to replace 2 larger Infinity speakers that I didn't have the floor space for anymore.  It's still amazing to me that speakers this size can produce such an outstanding sound quality.  I hardly notice the difference in quality (though I'll admit the Infinity speakers are about 15 years old) and these fit perfectly in my entertainment center. My great room is not huge and these are more than enough powered for great coverage.  If you have space problems or a small- to mid-sized room, these are an excellent choice and you cannot beat the price for what you are getting in return.

These are super high quality speakers for the price - connect them to your laptop, set them on either side of you, and enjoy surround sound for less than $20. Shipped quickly, great product.

I'm very pleased with this speaker system. Very reasonable price and non-obtrusive design. This is my first set of speakers purchased for a home theater. I relied on a great many reviews across the web to select the speakers, as I am unable to audition audio equipment in person. This set of speakers comes highly recommended as a great deal on a reasonable starter. I am happy with the purchase.

Excellent speakers at a very reasonable cost. They re-produce the true sound of what ever you listen to. Some people have complained they sound tinny. I just adjusted the settings on my amplifier and they sound great. They re-produce all the highs and lows with no problem. I am very happy with my set up for home theatre and with a few more tweaks down the road these speakers will sound like high end speakers but without the cost. Do your research first and if you come up with a better choice good for you but I am totally happy I went with Yamaha, a trusted name in sound technology for decades!

I purchased these SR-WOD5 Shaker high performance speakers and they really Live up to their name. They are high performance. I was pleased with the quality of the speakers for the price VM Innovations did a great job designing these speakers. The output has optimal power with full range audio output from the deep bass sound, to the high excursion woofer. The sound is awesome and carries very well. I am installing them outside on my covered patio and am very pleased with the quality of these speakers for the price.  The design of ease on the installation and hookup was quite easy, I would recommend attaching them to a stud. I love that they are weather resistant. Love them!

So far, so good!  I've had these for just a few short days but I'm loving them so far. I followed some other reviewers' advice and made sure not to put the volume to the max on my computer. The speakers look really nice, pretty solid construction, and in terms of sound, I've tested both movies and different genres of music, and I feel the clarity is quite good. There is a nice thump of bass in there too, but not very heavy for those of you that like big bass. For a brand I had not previously heard of before, these Genius speakers are an amazing purchase. High quality, without the high price. I'd recommend these over any Logitech models out there, and even Creative speakers.

At first I was hesitant to spend $250 on computer speakers, however, over the past few years my laptop has become my primary source anything and everything media related.  I've actually reached the point where I don't even turn on my TV or stereo anymore.  So I asked myself, "If I was willing to invest in a $250 sound bar for my TV, why have I not upgraded the speakers for a device I use daily?"  I'm happy to say that I made the right choice with these speakers.

Pros:
-Sound quality!
-Excellent build quality
-Compact form factor, but feels substantial
-Looks sleek and stylish in black
-Built-in DAC
-High quality packaging - the speakers, wires, etc, all came bundled in individual soft bags

Cons:
-Rear volume knob (it keeps the front looking clean, but a front knob would have been more user friendly)
-The speakers stands are sold separately for $30.  I'd still recommended them but there's no denying they're overpriced.
-The built-in DAC is only 48 kHz (would have preferred 96 kHz)

Overall:
-If you're in the market for high quality, compact speakers and you're willing to spend a few extra dollars then these are absolutely the way to go.
