No Better Sound for This Price

I love cheap speakers. Remember the KLH line Best Buy carried years ago? I bought plenty when they sold PAIRS for $20. I've owned the little Sony bookshelf B1000s as well, and was happy with them. When I went looking for a couple of bookshelf speakers to mate with a SMSL amp for use with a small turntable setup, lots of inexpensive options were found. I chose these over Dayton, Micca, Monoprice, and others because if I didn't like them, returning to the local Best Buy wouldn't be a problem. Hooked up the IPod and auditioned them over the last few days, and they are keepers! First of all, they are great-looking without the grills (be careful removing them, as I broke a peg off each), something that can't be said about the comparable Polks. Well-produced stuff like Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' sounds lush and room filling. Acoustic music is fine, too. The Pretty Reckless' 'Going to H*ll' was slightly brittle, less impressive, which is probably due to recording technique. Adding a sub or eq should fix that. For $50 I'm thrilled. I can't imagine you'll be disappointed. I may order another set for the garage. Get them before they're gone!
My Best Buy number: 2358610764
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice, Low Profile Speaker

I have a Bic America 5.0 system, with a Polk sub. For the money, heck, for anything under $100, considering the size, you won't beat this center. I purchased an Energy RC Micro system last week, and promptly returned it. Why? The weak center channel speaker. Vocals sounded small, and that's a pet peeve of mine. That's what makes this little guy stand out. Handles vocals as well as some full-sized brands. Deep male voices, like Christopher Lee's in 'Lord of the Rings', sound the way they are supposed to. Only occasionally do I hear it strain, and that's usually due to the way the vocals were recorded from the source, not necessarily the speaker's fault. When I upgrade to a bigger center -with wife approval...still working on her- it will probably be within the Bic America family. You can't beat it for value. Very well-made, solid, as well. For $40, you simply can't go wrong Try it out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
What's great about it: Good sound for a small box
What's not so great: For this price? Nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can you use these speakers to connect to a desktop computer? If not, how are these speakers ideally used?
A small amp will be necessary, since these are passive.
