Some of the speakers I listened to were my existing bookshelf Seas (8 of them), Boston Acoustics, Paradigm (bookshelf and tower)and B&W. I have also owned a Pair of Snells. I am convinced that the Outlaw bookshelves compare favorably to any of these. FYI, I plan to order the Outlaw Center Channel as soon as I can. I am now thinking about adding Outlaw Bookshelves in my Great Room. About the only draw back I can think of is that I would like to mount the speakers on the wall above the listening area. To do that I would probably have to drill holes in the speakers and mount them to something that I would hang on the wall. The cabinetry is so beautiful on these speakers that I am afraid that I wouldn't want to drill holes in them! If you have any mounting suggestions, please let me know!
