for the BP2X

I have used these for years in my main HT setup, and I have always found them more than adequate. The sound is sufficiently neutral, the bipolar arrangement works well. They even have 1/2 decent bass, within their size parameters. Decent build quality and reasonable quality drivers, it seems.
If you can pick up a pair used cheap enough, you should be happy with them unless you are looking to really get full range outta the surrounds, in which case, these ain't fer you.

Product Weakness: Not particularly efficient, not capable of deep bass.
Product Strengths: Reliablity, reasonably neutral, good dispersion for their intended use.
