Rated 5 out of 5

Great speakers at a great price

These are great speakers. The built-in amp means they can really pump out the volume, and they still sound really crisp and clear. The only thing I wish they would have maintained from the smaller versions of the speakers is the USB input, but otherwise they?re solid with my record player and bluetooth inputs.
