Huge upgrade from my TV speakers (Samsung). Definitely not the best speakers I've ever heard, but for the price ($200 each) I think they sound really good. High and mid ranges sound great. Bass is good but if you really want a full/punchy bass you'll need a sub. I have them in a 900 sq-ft apartment (living room is roughly 400 sq-ft) and they fill the space quite easily. I'm using them with a Pioneer Elite VSX‑LX102.
