How good are these speakers really? could they be good for audio editing for short films as well as provide a nice kick to small home parties?

They are great little speakers for the money. They are relatively small so they can only carry so much base. I think they are great little speakers. Rick

These are surprisingly good speakers. Not audiophile grade, but just a couple of notches below. They only have 4" woofers, so they can't produce chest pounding bass. But they do produce the low mids nicely. Add a sub, and they will rock a medium sized room so long as you have enough amp power (50 watts or more).

Using these currently in a medium sized conference room, about 16x12. Even without the sub they do fairly well (I've watched a movie or two on them). With the sub I think they would do nicely if you want a small speaker solution. However, if I really wanted the movie theater feel and I had room I'd maybe go with bigger speakers (especially if the room was any bigger).

The speakers are exactly as you described. However, very few monitors (if any), including high end monitors such as this one have decent speakers. You'll need to buy a dedicated speakers in order to achieve any level of bearable sound quality.

Depending on how big your house is. But they do have a really good sound along with volume but you might want to look into something bigger and better if you are having a big party.

I mainly use them for music on a iMac 27" I also use the app boom, the speakers have seperate bass and treble controls, but I do watch movie trailers and creativeLIVE and they perform excellent, don't max the volume though, this is when they tend to go south at that point... Over all way better sound then the stock speakers...

They will work fine, but they were built for traveling from gig to gig and are not cosmetically desirable for a living room. They are a great value with better than average sound.

Depends on what you are using them for- as a PA for speech only, they would handle it without difficulty. For a church setup, they are probably also adequate- you might push them hard occasionally- make sure you have adequate, CLEAN power. If you are looking to use these as a DJ/ club scene, you will want a sub. Peavey makes one that goes with these (PV118, I believe).

Plenty of sound for average sized room party (I would say up to 300 sq ft with a dozen people) . No idea what other two speakers you mention are capable of.

I would say it depends on what you expect to do with them, if it was to mic up a presenter, I would say yes. Background music likely ok, To deliver DJ music, or loud live performance I would say no. I have used them out in the open for weddings and they work just fine for a quite environment to carry spoken word.I have four of them and four of PV118 and that is what I use for rooms that large, I run the subs with a pair of crown xls800 and the tops with a pair of xls600.

They're good speakers. They don't have any bass. For an in-wall/ceiling speaker, I live them. But I also have other speakers that fill out the sound spectrum.

I'm completely satisfied with mine. Good sound for the money. The "aux in" feature is a nice touch also.In regard to whether they're for audiophiles, I'm definitely not an audiophile, so no clue. I think they sound good. They don't distort my music and have adequate base considering how small they are.These are little computer speakers, not stereo speakers. They are vastly better than the speakersthat came with my Dell computer. They aren't as good as the ones attached to my receiver (which costabout 7 times more).

These are very nice small speakers, but they are small speakers and they are limited as such. If you're using them in a home theater application you will need a subwoofer to produce the very low frequencies. You will want to cross them at 80-100 hz. Myself...I prefer to use larger speakers for the main left and right speakers, along with a subwoofer. This will give you much better imaging. However, these would make excellent surround speakers.

These aren't "monitors" in that sense. These are meant specifically for the truest sound possible.Of course, Rokit6G3's aren't perfect, but for the price tag, it's not bad.In other words, I wouldn't recommend such a speaker if you aren't using it for high-end production, like music production or video editing.If all you want is a simple speaker that the artist can hear him or herself, you don't need to spend so much money.At the same time, if you want to LOOK and SOUND extra professional to the artist, you still might consider getting these (look more professional at the expensive of half a grand).

I'm not an audiophile, but to me it sounds great... No distortion. It sends all that my small set of "Creative" computer speakers can handle. It's certainly worth a shot for the price, yes?

For their size they have good bass. Keep in mind you will never have window rattling lows from any speaker this size. I am very content with them. Get yourself a subwoofer if you really seek thump.

we use speakers intended for a PC and they are work fine for us. We have a relatively small conference room though.

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.
