I own several larger versions of Klipsch speakers and I don't think you can beat them for music and HT combinations. I have also thought about buying the 15s as surround speakers but the wife would kill me if I bring any more speakers into the house. For $99 I don't think you can go wrong. They are less efficient than most of the Klipsch line at 90 db@1W. Bear in mind that since they use a horn for the tweeter they are somewhat directional. The square tractix horn solved some of the issue. It was a minor issue to start with so I wouldn't be concerned.
