- Conclusion -

For a sealed 6" two-way design, these speakers are amazingly compact and aesthetically very robust. Even in their larger, vented form, they are still very compact in size and manageable for most rooms. The sealed enclosure version is great when used with a subwoofer, and is very good at providing a "big" sound in a small package. The vented enclosure version holds its own over the entire range, including the bass department.

Tonally, these speakers met my initial goals of having a somewhat laid-back sound that works well with many types of music. They are very accurate, yet not harsh or overly revealing. When used properly, these speakers can handle a healthy amount of power and produce SPLs that will fill any reasonably sized room. Overall, these are great all-around compact speakers that will excel in a myriad of applications.
