i have to say these speakers really surprised me.i dont understand some of the negative comments on these speakers.they are solid performers.well built.and for the price,cant be beat.if you can pick one up,buy buy.

i bought these because i was broke and wanted speakers. the only thing good about these speakers is the cabinet design. they are quite efficient. They are better for a low powered system. good speakers (for 100 bucks)

Not to criticize the previous-review, however I have to wonder if Your speakers wern't wired out-of-phase, or if Your amp was not capable of driving them. I have had just the opposite-experience with My C-5's. Tight, startingly-deep bass..as evidenced...

These things are pretty bad. No bass to speak of, too much highs and even though they said they were 8 ohm, on the speaker was stamped 5 ohm, which gave my amp fits since it can't handle anything below 8 ohms. Way to go, people. You get what you pay...
