Purchased speakers for a 5.1 surround system nine years ago. Had a strange room setup. Sent them a diagram and they helped me configure the system and pick out appropriate speakers. Great communications during the buying and shipping process. When the speakers arrived we were stunned. Packed extremely well and they were beautiful, gorgeous actually. Installation was a breeze. I called tech support a couple times with some nit pick questions. Got almost immediate responses. The sound is incredible. I tested them out on the Mahler Symphony No. 1. Fantastic. Clear highs, amazing presence. Needless to say, they did just fine in surround mode. Be careful with the sub woofer. There is enough power there to move the walls back and forth. Talk to my wife when I play Led Zeppelin. That said the bass is clean and not boomy. Of course they sent a follow up message -- not a survey. How do you like you speakers? anything we can do? kind of message. Told them about my experience and the president of the company wrote back thanking me for my purchase and input. He then asked which version of the Mahler I was listening to (Chcago Symphony - Abbado). Nine years later they still sound as good as the day I got them. Movies, classical music, rock n roll all sound great. And they still look stunning.
