2 out of 5 stars Misleading Advertising & Poor Customer Service   July 23, 2008
I bought these Athena Speakers based on a net based review. When I ordered them they clearly advertised that they were wall mountable with brackets included. Upon receipt...no brackets and an email to Athena got a response that wall mount was not an option and that Amazon made the mistake. I inquired about getting brackets as an option and was sent from customer service to technical suppport. To date I have received no response from "technical support" regarding returning these speakers and am greatly frustrated by the whole experience. I would not recommend doing business with Athena!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome slimline speakers!   January 12, 2008

These Athena speakers are great as front speakers in a surround system. I am using them with a Harmon Kardon surround system, similar to the Bose Acoustimass, which utilitzes subwoofer and small surround speakers. Compared to larger speakers, these look great and perform wonderfully.


4 out of 5 stars Good Sound and Clean Lines   December 9, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I've had these for a couple years now and use them for my livingroom stereo. They are clean and bright with great sound, although the mid sound is a little flat. Definately need a sub to extend these to lower sounds.

Overall I like these although they lack warm sound in the mid and low end. If you like clear music without heavy resonation they are fine. I find them most lacking when listening to full bodied classical music. I find that instruments like the cello, obo and french horns aren't as rich as they should be. My sub makes up the double base and kettle drums.
