Great idea, flawed execution
The good:
-Excellent sound quality and low-end for the size, particularly well suited to people with limited space and low listening volumes like myself
-Very sturdy build, would easily handle moving between multiple locations
-The phantom center. Simply phenomenal.
The bad:
-Quality control is inadequate. Both speakers I received had a very audible coil whine coming from the power supply unit, at a rather fatiguing frequency that could even be heard over quiet tracks. This has led me to returning the speakers unfortunately.
-The built-in automatic calibration has a tendency to overcompensate. It did successfully fix some issues I have in my room, however during the process some frequencies had been cut too much, especially the midrange.
Conclusion:
Great choice if you have limited space and don't need high SPL, perhaps the best price/performance on the market for that use case at the point of writing this review.
But you need to be lucky enough to get units with good QC, as well as be prepared for the built-in room correction not working for your room in particular, so it helps not to plan to rely on that exclusively.
