I had a few sets years ago. They're a "fun" and in my opinion, good looking speaker when on their matching stands, especially the chrome ones. (I'm a mid-century modern fan). They must be used with the equalizer, if not, they sound worse than a cat fight at 3am. No, they don't image or have excellent detail, but I could see having a set in a large, open space like a large, living room where people congregate during parties or in a cool garage setup where you need tunes while out there tinkering on projects. They have their place for some people and needs, and that's fine.
