Review Summary
2025-01-01T07:23:04
These bookshelf speakers are the first home audio speakers that I have bought in decades years and how the technology has improved. The audio quality and quantity that comes out of these speakers is amazing. Also, the amount of bass and the low bass they can create with such a small sized driver and enclosure is amazing. I watched many video reviews and they were accurate. They are currently on sale for $299 but, I bought mine on sale for a little more than half that price so I couldn't pass. Also, it doesn't require a tremendous amount of power to drive them. I bought a used Yamaha RS202 receiver to use with them and they can get very loud.

Replaced a pair of t15's with the xt20. Didn't realize how much more I was getting with these, but the addition of these rounded out the sound quality I was missing with the t15's as front left and right surround.
