the satellite speaker sound fantastic and be easy to place throughout you room . the subwoofer drive low and hard and shake my entire house , even at time I swear I can not hear it . Center be not too large and yet sound better than the one it replace which be huge . the only realy criticical review here on Amazon regard these speaker be one idiot that give it one star because the one he get be defective . these be , by far , the best speaker available under $ 800 - $ 1000 . check the stereo review on they for absolute detail . I can only really tell you how they sound to I . they bring life back to my five year old receiver .
