Although not quite as loud as expected the sound quality superb and well worth the $. super crisp music - and Im a professional musician so I need good speakers! Just be aware - ONLY bluetooth so cant do speaker groups . Id say way better than bose at a comparable price point

OMG! I just bought this bad boys today, on Boxing Day.
Now, when I know how they sound I would had paid the full price without thinking twice. If they are still available at your store just grab them and you will not regret it.
By the way, I don't know what happened to the other people with the remote control but mine works flawlessly.

Amazing

As an audiophile, I was skeptical. But in short, these things are amazing, and the bass they produce is astonishing from such a small size driver.
I agree the controls are not the best, I would prefer knobs on the side. The remote does work, just not as good when the grills are on due to loss of "Line of sight". And if you switch the grills the remote will not work at all since only one grill has a cut out for the IR pickup.
At the boxing week price you simply can't go wrong. Heck I didn't even need them and I'm happy. LOL

Easy set up and high quality sound, especially in a smaller home.

Very good speakers for the price. Would definitely buy this brand again over some of the overpriced brands. Sadly my product came with a European 240v power cord in the box so had to go out and buy the correct one. Customer service was good with helping to solve the problem.
Thumbs up for Thonet & Vander

Great sounding speakers. You get a lot of bang for your buck. My only hesitation in giving five stars has to do with the way the treble, bass and volume is controlled: with the buttons you can see what level you have set the speakers to.

Excellent sound, works well as a stand-alone pair

Liked:
Sound quality with some bass and treble added, EQ is built in to speakers. Easily the best sounding of all of bookshelf speakers I auditioned at Best Buy. Self contained, built in amplifier. Good looking, cones are probably Kevlar if you want to rock with the covers off. Bluetooth input is cool, RCA is what I used with the included 3.5mm to RCA cable. Volume is loud, loud enough that I’m not listening to them at max longer than one song. Price is reasonable for what you get. I was willing to pay the same for passive speakers I’d need to amp myself.

Didn’t like:
Volume, input and EQ settings are lost if you power off, so I keep them on all the time. They need EQ and incremental volume to play well and at the volume you want. I’m getting some induction noise when no music is playing. I can’t identify the source but it wasn’t there in the store, so I am assuming it’s something in my house. Cables stick
Straight out the back so you won’t get them less than about 3” from the wall. A tad on the big side, but I’m sure the enclosure helps their sound quality. Technical support is useless. The store display made it look like these had native support for Spotify and other services, but they don’t. It’s via Bluetooth they can play whatever your phone does. If they had native app support i would have given five stars despite the other shortcomings.

No regrets buying these, a good music pair for the office.
