Yes these are great speakers for £200 or £230. The money has been spent well on quality drivers and a good crossover for a smooth full sound, imaging is good detail is excellent and driver intergration is superb. The bass has a real kick for such a compact design and goes low with ease.
It does lack a touch of bite but in reality this makes them non fatiguing to listen to for extended periods. Compared to somewhat more expensive speakers they have a slight nasal quality to the midrange and the bass end can be a touch lumpy if not positioned correctly. Otherwise they are superb speakers.
Mine are even better now i have ripped out the rather cheap foam from inside and placed 6mm bitumen damping on all the inside walls and then filled the entire space with lambs wool. The bass is now better defined and the midrange has lost its slight honk. Detail has improved too. All for £40 and a few spare hours. Couldn't be happier!

This is certainly a fantastic pair of speakers, and for the price quoted, DIRT CHEAP! It is remarkable how these speakers can sound good even with components that are thrice it's price. I had a pair of these hooked up to various combinations of amp/cd, the cheapest being a Rotel RA-02, and in any combination, it sounded great. The bass/treble is very balanced. I would recommend it very highly without any reservation whatsoever. A fantastic pair of speakers!
Superb performers for the money, and our current favourites at this price level
These have long been the best loudspeaker under £200, and the Diamonds still sparkle
