I am listening to the speakers now. These speakers are just what the doctor ordered. I wake up in the morning listening to them , in the evening until I get ready for bed.If you want speakers with no problems just pleasure buy these.By the way , they are space savers that fill your ears with excitment.

After reading about the damages others experienced with the delivery of these speakers, I was pleasantly surpised when mine arrived with only a screw missing from one of the woofers. I found the scew in the box and replaced it, otherwise there was no damage at all. I am pleased with this purchase. The sound quality is very good and has enhanced the surround sound system on big screen HD set. The apearance of the speakers is not bad either. But what really makes this such a good purchase is the price...it can't be beat.

I just got these speakers only 5 days after ordering. Once again O/S has treated me with respect. Something I have not seen with internet purchasing. I'm really a non internet buyer because lately I've taken some serious and expensive beatings. O/S has always been great. My Speakers came with NO problems. Not even a scratch! The sound is fantastic. I've owned so many sets of speakers, advent, polk audio, JVC.... These are great speakers and the price is unbelieveable. Some modern stuff is great, these remind me of my polks. I listen to so much live music, Grateful Dead, Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros.... and finally a true and unmuffled sound. Clean crisp highs, symbols splash, and bass that's responsive but not overbearing. I put them on my surround sound and partied until 4:00 this morning. Dead and Margaritaville channels. Honestly that good. My brother just spent $1800.00 for great speakers but I'd rather have 4 of these for a fraction of the cost. After all the ear can only hear so much. I am a part time musician and can honestly say buy these, they're worth every cent. You can get better, but I do wonder if needed. You get more than what you paid for and that says it all. Keep on keepin' on..........

I did not expect these speakers to sound as good as my 15 inch woofer, 3-way speakers I purchased in 1980. I was surprised however at their power handling capability. Although they don't have great frequency range, they can be played loudly. Don't expect deep, rich bass or super crisp highs. However, for the price, you can't go wrong. I'm using mine as a back pair of speakers hooked to a sub-woofer. I'll buy another pair for a work shop stereo system.

I added a sub woofer and the speakers sound great. Other than being weak on bass, I would have no complaints.

I love them, i may not be an audiophile but they work for me. They look awesome. Even my roommate who is an audiophile said that he might pick up a pair. I have had for about a month and now and just love them. plus what 2.95 shipping, not 80$ so that's worth it right there

Speakers arrived in good shape. Sexy looking. Audio quality is pretty good for the money. I'm not blown away by any means, but satisfied.

The speakers sound fine but even with double boxing, which didn't seem to be the culprit, the speakers looked as though they had been strapped down or something at one time. The corner edge had some veneer pushed up, Otherwise nice set of speakers..

Wow! I am very pleased with these speakers. They sound great with my older JVC surround sound receiver in the bedroom for watching movies.. I plan on purchasing a 7:1 system, so the SDat's will be placed in the living room for listening to music. The price was excellent and the shipping was free and fast. There was only one hardly noticeable nic even with the speakers packed double boxed. I would suggest not carrying the speaker with the string protrusion on the front as it came loose. I pushed it back on. Very pleased with the purchase.

When the speakers arrived one was damaged, but Overstock took care of the issue very quickly and effectively. Part of the reason that happened was because the speakers are made from cheap materials, and although they don't look it, they feel like it. Still considering the price and the sound this is a small issue. If you don't plan to keep them for 20 years then they are a great investment. As some others noted in their reviews the speakers do not look like the photo on the site. They are much closer to black with dark brown streaks and the speakers cones are silver. I am impressed with the sound; the bass response is tight and punchy without being overwhelming or non-existent. And they look like they cost a lot more than they did. For the price they are awesome.

This item was shiped to me with the wire inside of the case dislogged. I had to physical unsrew the spreakers and mount the wires inside myself. The cheap quality of manfacturing was well noted. They did not fasten the screws inside the case. Quality of this item is not all that great. I feel the other reviews were mis-leading.

After reading the reviews ( all 56 of them) I ordered the speakers. I received them in fine condition. The packaging could use some more styrofoam padding. I hooked them up to my old Sansui a/v receiver and wham!! .What awesome sound. For the money you can't go wrong. And the styling is so high end looking. Anyone looking at these speakers would think you'd pay twice the price. They've got some serious bass too. I don't turn them up too high because they are loud. If you're looking for some really good looking speakers that sound really good. these are them. I love them. If I had the room I would order another pair. Maybe in one of the other color or model.

Speakers arrived well packaged but one speaker had minor body damage which I chose to fix myself. . Since the packaging looked perfect, and taking all the other reviews into consideration, I assume many of these units may have prexisting imperfections or dings which are reflected in the pricing. Aside from this, the speakers function perfectly. However, these bad boys need high octane to drive them. They sound great at high volumes but they are lacking at low volume levels. I tried them out as bedroom speakers with my two channel 80Wx2 Harmon Kardon receiver and wasnt impressed. Had to turn the treble way up to make them sound decent at low volume. I then tried them out as front mains on my 100W per channel 5.1 JVC set up in my family room and the fit was much better. My center channel, rear surrounds and a little experimenting with my receivers customization features made up for what was lacking. Bottom line, if you like to crank it up, these speakers are not a bad choice. Otherwise, they will only work well as part of a home theatre set up. They will make good replacements for many of those little cube speakers.

had to scramble when my speakers died...had a party coming up...so I went to the local big box stores and was appalled at what they had. Either the speakers sounded great but cost a fortune or were a buy but sounded awful or they were too small (more suitable to a shelf system) or too big. I went through the reviews here and decided these would be worth a try. I figured if they weren't what I wanted I would just return them. They are SENSATIONAL. I'm not a techno-geek so I can't give you a full rundown of WHY they sound so good...but they do! The sound is warm and full and there's zip distortion when played really loud or very soft...and I still can't get over the price. One additional note pertinent more to Overstock.com than the speakers themselves. SDAT's packaging is dismal so when I got the speakers one was broken. I called immediately, got a replacement set at no charge by second day air and a shipping label to send the orginal box (47 pounds) back. Now THAT was sweet! Despite the momentary glich, a great shopping experience and great speakers.

Speakers were double boxed, no damage at all. They look like very high end expensive speakers. They sound very good and are well worth the price!!!! My friends think I paid a lot more for them then I did. I am using them as the side surround speakers in a 7.1 setup with 90 watts each. You cant go wrong for the money AAAA++++ deal.

Great Speakers. Just arrived today with quick shipping. No damage to speakers on arrival and for the past 3 days have been using them with home theater & music. Hits both the highs & lows. Good quality for the price. They are darker than the picture makes them appear.

Rating

I know from past experience, especially with A/V equipment, you usually get what you pay for.... and I've read some horror stories about Overstock in a few other reviews, but for the ridiculously low price of these speakers I figured I'd take a chance. I'm very glad I did! I bought these speakers for my teenage son's bedroom about a month ago. He plays guitar along with his music so he BLASTS them all the time. They are loud and clear - even across the house and downstairs. He loves them. Packaging was a little weak, but they arrived as promised and in good condition. They look good and sound great. What an unbelievable value!!!

Rating

Great value for the price. I was impressed by the low end and bass response. These replaced cabinets that had 15 inch woofers. A total of 5 speakers per cabinet. I found the sound comparison to be similar. The shipping was fast and the speakers were packaged well and arrived in flawless condition.

Rating

The speakers are very nice sounding. However I share the same complaint as many others have. The packaging is terrible! I do not use the word lightly either, I had a couple of scuffs and had to re-insert 2 of the screws that fell out of the speaker box. All of the protective foam was broken, just poorly, poorly packaged. So all in all....nice speakers for the price, but be careful..you take a chance with the shipping.

These speakers are beaming from a onkyo tx-8522 receiver and a onkyo dv-cp702 6 disc dvd/cd/etc player. The sound is crisp, clear and makes the experience exciting. I use them everyday and enjoy every minute. The price was so right. Delivery was quick.
