Havent used them for a long while so got them out of the cabinet and tested them: sounds fantastic! No issues at all, surrounds fine, no holes in grills, etc.Review a.o. at http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-04-17/entertainment/9202040272_1_speakers-signet-surround The SL250 speakers weigh 12 pounds a pair and are about the size of a full book pack. There`s nothing particularly high-tech inside the 12 1/2x7x10- inch vented enclosures. A 5 1/2-inch paper cone woofer and a 3/4-inch metallized polycarbonate dome tweeter produce the sound. No matter what type of music you prefer, the SL250 does it justice. Stereo imaging, the illusion of a natural soundstage, is excellent. Small speakers often image better than large speakers. Usually the smaller the sound source the better the image. On a good jazz or rock disc, the drums sound centered and to the rear. On a classical choral recording the vocal soloists line up smartly along the front of the stage, but never sound like they`re floating in the audience. Signet claims a wide frequency response for such a small speaker, but fails to specify how much softer the sound becomes at the ends of the spectrum. In listening tests the SL250s sounded very natural. The treble was clear and crisp, but without offensive sizzle. The bass was surprisingly good. You won`t miss the bass runs of a string bass (electric or acoustic), and drums retain impact. Voices truly test a speaker, and the SL250 sings with the best of them. Male and female vocalists sound uncolored with just the right amount of presence. These Signet speakers fill rooms much larger than dorm rooms with sound
