I needed to create an inexpensive surround system for a room that we don't use very often. I bought three pairs of these speakers. I used two of them to create the center channel, and then used the other four for the front R/L and the rear R/L. I'm really surprised how nicely the sound worked out. Even though this room is kind of big, these basic speakers create a nice sound and fill it up just fine. I used a decent subwoofer and was afraid that the difference between the cheap speakers and the rich sub would create an uneven tone, but the highs and lows blend just fine.For the price, I'm happy with these speakers.
