great value

Pros Value, build quality, tweeter, aluminum enclosure
Cons Honestly, there is nothing "wrong" with them
Recommended it? Yes
You won't find a better speaker for this price ($89USD). For reference, my other speakers are bookshelfs: Monitor Audio Silver 2 ($600/pair), and an old set of Thiel 02's ($700/pair in 1984).

The WS-15's are satellite speakers, but unusual in that they play down to 100 Hz. This makes them easy to combine with a subwoofer.

They have excellent upper frequency response. The tweeter is quite nice. The mids are good, and the bass is surprisingly present.

My first reaction upon hooking them up: wow! Highs! And lows too!

They don't have a "beautiful" or "smooth" sound, but they work very well and are VERY listenable - not harsh or fatiguing.

I'm using them in a small room with a 10 watt amp. A subwoofer is a good idea to fill out the sound.

They are very easy to install on the wall. The aluminum enclosure is very unique! The build quality is EXCELLENT.
