I think you may very well have just gotten a bunk pair, or something, because the reviews have been stellar for speakers in this price range.NEVERMIND THE BELOW. The ones I purchased were the BS21. But look exactly the same.
I bought these last time they came around. In fact, I bought 2 pair to use as mids and rears or fronts and rears depending on my final setup.
Horrible speakers. I'm not sure if I just got a bunk pair or what but absolutely no highs. It was as if the tweaters did nothing. I thought maybe one speaker, but they both sounded equally as bad.
I left the other box unopened and it is sitting in my garage.
