I should preface this with the fact that I have only had the speakers for a couple days. I replaced a set of pioneer bookshelf speakers with these. Unfortunately, these speakers do not come close to replicating the sound of the less expensive pioneer bookshelves. They lack depth, they lack a clear, mid range at higher volumes and the detail that I was hoping to pick up in my playback is not there.

Keeping in mind that they are relatively inexpensive, I should say that the build quality Is very good. I just think McIntosh has lost their way as it relates to sound replication. The base is muddy, the mid range is harsh at higher levels, and maybe the tweeter just needs to be broken in.

I was very hopeful of giving this product a great review, but I can’t. All in all I’m very disappointed with these speakers.
