Great Old Time Speakers
By Ambergris
I have owned a pair of these Bics for over 5 years now and still continue to be in awe of them for the price I paid, ($90 a piece at the time). These speakers are a throwback to a time when the quality of a speaker was measured in how big and impressive it was in reproducing sound as close to a level of real life as possible. No downsizing going on here folks. These babies are open for business when placed in your room and need the space to do it. I refer to these speakers as old time for they have not been suckered in by the new fangled dwarfism that is prevalent in speaker systems these days. Somewhere in the late 80s most speaker manufacturers decided that people were more interested in speakers being heard than seen. So they greatly reduced their dimensions by separating the woofer by frequency and gave you two smaller ones and calling it better. The true audio enthusiast was never fooled. One 12" woofer can beat the time of two 6" imitations any time. And there has never been anything before or since that matches the pure earth shaking bass power of a 15" woofer. (To my knowledge the largest woofer ever offered in home speakers at any time). These bics have a 15" monster woofer that will leave your jaw agape. Though it is true that at times the protection system can kick in a little unexpectedly and cut your bass off, in all honesty it takes one hell of a walloping amount of volume versus bass to do them in. And be thankful for that in any event. In the old days when speakers this size and power were prevalent, protection circuits were something offered up in only very high end equipment, or not at all. Your woofer just sizzled and went silent during some heavy use and that was all she wrote 'till you installed a new one. Turning off your music even for a couple of seconds is enough to have you back in business with these bad boys. Appearance wise these speakers are very attractive for something that will take up so much of your floor, and very quality built. The grill material is very thick, and the cabinet is not some kind of ugly resin like a pair of Kerwin Vegas I owned, but 100% hard wood. Stained black to match anything.Overall these speakers sound as crisp and clean from the treble all the way down below as any I have ever heard. And trust me, I have been around this stuff for a long time. Don't be fooled by the book shelf systems and such that are small and expensive but promise big sound. If you are one to demand big sound over being stylish, these speakers are made for you...

By G. Moore
I have had these for 4 months and they are excellent in sound reproduction, the 15 inch bass woofer, produces nice bass, and most the time i dont even have to use my subwoofer at all. Very well constructed. Be sure to uderstand that the price is for only one speaker, Amazon shows a pair, but that price is for each one, not a pair, but still its a excellant buy, compared to higher name brands. Only con is that try to find a online store that uses Fed Ex, I had one speaker shipped by UPS and the carton was tore,and the top of the speaker had lite damage. The other speaker I bought to match I had shipped by Fed EX with no damage.Trick is to find a closer vender to you with less freight handling from mulitple trucks. Happy listening. You will be very happy.

By Monty Smith
I have an older amplifier that doesn't have a subwoofer output. I couldn't find any speakers locally that had 15" woofers like my orginal sonys (and sony doesn't make them any more). I did find some speakers with 12" woofers but they were cheap and I blew the midranges in 2 days.Took a chance on these and have no regrets. The midranges and the tweeters are crisp and clear and the bass rocks the house. I love them so much that I have 4 of them for my right and left front channels. There is also protection built in to prevent damage when I get too wild.
