(More customer reviews)Replaced my 30 yr old Polk Audio Model 10's with these. I listened to Bose 201/301, B&W 685/686, and various Polk Audio models. Nothing could touch these guys for the price Amazon had at the time ($112 each). The B&W 685's were definitely better, but at about 4x the cost. The 685's might have had an edge in vocal reproduction, but at 2x the cost. Excellent, crystal clear highs and midrange vocals, and stereo imaging. Off axis dispersion is very, very good. The bass is good for a speaker this size, but they should be accompanied by a sub for serious music play or home theater. These are great music speakers, and IMO great music speakers make great home theater speakers. You will be surprised by the sound for the $ with these. A big plus for me is the classic styling.
I have 4 CS26's with a CS225 center, driven by an Onkyo SR806 receiver and a 15" 750 watt Velodyne sub. The CS26's, driven with 130W/Ch, can keep up with the sub. I can feel like I'm at a concert, be it rock, country, jazz, classical, with this equipment. As long as you have a good sub, you don't need big speakers to make big sound. I wall mounted the CS26's, and freed up significant floor space vs. my old Polks, with a significant improvement in sound quality. Bigger isn't always better!!
