i like my athena's quite a bit. i hope you do to.

whats the amp you have them running with. ?

thats not a bad price at all to let you know. the asf2's sound similar to the asf1's but when it comes down to bass performance the asf2's murder the 1's "and the 1's are pretty dam good themselves.

I have a Kenwood vr-507. I bought it a few years ago. At the time it was one of the few lower priced s that had DTS. I have been happy with it. I am very happy with it now that I can hear what I have been missing.

Funniest thing about this whole deal is, I was expecting to take a huge verbal beating from the wife for coming home with these. (Silly woman wants new furniture in the living room, you know the room in the front of the house where nobody sits unless all the family is over.)

But all she said was, good I was always worried those bookshelf speakers on the stands were going to fall off and hit one of the kids some day. She's playing it cool, but I still think these speakers are going to cost me couch or a love seat and a chair. I'll probably come home next week and see the furniture van in the driveway!

so do you have it all wired up now? how does it sound?

and to let you know if you read the intructions it says there is a break in time, and this is one of the few rare speakers that actually sound better after the break in time, usually it does nothing on speakers.

you'll notice that as the days and weeks go on they will sound better and better.

so whats your whole set up, im interested in knowing, "tv, cd, dvd, rear speakers subwoofer" i can get a feel of what it sounds like, ive heard kenwoods, they sound good and loud with athenas,

I have a 36 inch RCA tv I bought about 10 years ago. cd/dvd player is a Toshiba SE-R0090 that I got last year, and the Kenwood theater in a box that came with the reciever and I am using the bookshelf speakers that came with that for the rears.

I am also using the sub that came with the HT box kit. It's actually not bad. I had to turn it down a little lastnight while we were watching the Return of the King, because with these new speakers the floor and walls were shaking so much that the wine glasses in the next room were rattling together.
