incredible speakers for the size and price.
these little speakers are Wonderful the sound stage is wide and encompassing in a small room, the sound is also very good for a small speaker, require a small amount of power and has a good amount of low midrange and high bass. very impressive.

They are speakers
Nice little speakers. Comparable in size and sound to the micca mb42x. Own their big brothers as well. The b65s had some build quality issues but these b40s were pretty good. Overall nice, cheap, attractive, speakers for the price. Not gonna blow anyone away with bass. Would be best suited for a nearfield setup like a PC desk or maybe some height channels in a ht.

Quite functional and good value in the right application. Decent imaging.
Good high frequency response and imaging. For the price it's a solid selection compared to other similar options. Trying to get low end out of them is a fools errand and what is there is muddy so temper your expectations in that regard. These can function decently in a passive multi-speaker setup that includes a sub or other full range speakers, but I would not recommend them as a dedicated pair of monitors by themselves. There are better powered options for just a little more like the Eris ones. They also take a bit of power, which was a little surprising to me. If you don't have individual speaker pair volume control then these may not be as loud as you think they ought to be - likely an advantage if you are just buying these as inexpensive surrounds or rears - that's a good application for these.

Quality product, a little lacking in Bass in my opinion.
Quality speakers, well built, no construction flaws, attractive look to them, very well designed connectivity options. A good amount of weight to them. I couldn't get the Bass I was seeking out of them, so they're on a smaller stereo system now. But they are capable of handling some high wattages nonetheless. Minimal distortion if any.

Amazing Little Speakers
These speakers are very clear and have decent bass for the size. I like big bass, so I use them with a subwoofer. But without the subwoofer, I could hear the bass guitar in the music. They are well worth the price. They are also easy to set up. I really like the connectors on the back because I could use the banana plugs that were on my speaker wires.
