Pros & Cons
Pros
The super tweeter really enhances the sound quality of the highs without being too high and overly distorted. It keeps the regular tweeter unburdened and singing sweetly.
Great speakers with wide range and clean sound. It sounds amazing. No, but for the money, it sounds spectacular.

At least amazon is willing to pay the repackaging price. I have to go to kohl's to return the sub. This is shady to sell it as new. Save your money and get something else.
