They were good in there day but the science has moved on. My needs in speakers are fairly basic, I do not need real LOUD, but I like real CLEAR and accurate, which the Sierra-1's give me. My side surrounds are HTM-200 SE
and they blend in fine with the Sierra-1 for a nice HT experience. My room is about 20' x 20' and open to a kitchen on one side. The music sounds good even in the kitchen and in other areas in the house. My hat is off to Ascend for putting together an affordable set of products this good.
