Audiophile my foot. Audiophiles are people who listen to floor speakers.
or for use with a computer, good bookshelf speakers + a sub. I can imagine someone who wants form over function choosing these though, the pedestal for and the compact size of the drivers create a look more than a sound a few people might strive for. Price seems kind of high to me for what it is but it always does on the midrange and higher computer speaker sets.
I just wonder how they kept a straight face when they dreamed up the retail list price of over $400 for 'em.
