I thought I really scored, when I saw the horns and big woofers, but at $5, what the heck, they definitely can get loud, though a little shrill, harsh sounding, when pushed, tried some jazz,blues, big band, blue grass, zeppelin, skynyrd, etc, anyway seem to do best with the bluesy, jazzy stuff. I'm feeding them with a Kenwood vr305 and a pioneer cld-s201 cd/ laser disc player.
