When I finished the TriTrix, I was surprised how good $160 worth of drivers and crossover parts could sound. I'd recommend them for home theater use or for music reproduction on a budget. The speakers' bass output is sufficient for most users to consider them "full range" for music applications. At a modeled max SPL of 104 dB, they can play quite loudly without obvious distortion setting in. They are just a bit forward when the listener is on-axis, due to the diffraction bump at around 2 kHz. This helps bring out the dialog for home theater work, but for music I prefer to listen to them slightly off-axis, which minimizes the effect.
