<< I am a noob with stereo stuff
Are these any good? >>
Well, the snobs will say it's "middle of the road". I've owned all kinds of CV speakers (home and car) and love them all. Their woofers are boomy, although the center channel looks kinda small in this kit. I have the CV center that has 2 6.5" woofers in it and is LOUD. But, IMO CV is good stuff.
