Product Description
The BP8B is an extraordinary full-range bipolar loudspeaker which offers award-winning sonic performance superior to competitors' systems selling for twice its price or more. The BP8B's taller cabinet and cast basket drivers deliver even more extended bass response than the BP6B. Its sleek, ultra-compact design takes up only 0.5 sq. ft. of floor space.

The BEST. Period. March 18, 2010
M. Gottwalt (Mpls, MN)
I've owned these speakers for over 10 years and have loved every second of their performance. I have them running with an older Yamaha receiver. I've had them set up in two different homes. These are the best sounding speakers I've ever heard. They have excellent bass extension, imaging, sound field, and placement flexibility. They sound great for movies and spectacular for music. They're not too bright like a Klipsch or Martin Logan and not too soft like a JBL or Infinity. I can not say enough good things about these. These never really go on sale and you get what you pay for. They are worth the investment. Couple these with a subwoofer (though you could do without), the center channel CLR2002 and the surrounds BPX2s and you've got a totally kickin' system.
A nice surprise for the SET and Tri-path crowd May 24, 2010

I've had these speakers for about a month. Other speakers owned are Fostex (Tekton),Aerial, Zigamahornets (Merrill drivers) Magnepan's (1.6's). I Like these speakers quite a bit. I can use them on my 2.5 watt SET or my Virtue ONE t-amp and get startling sound. You can drive them without a sub and get satisfying bottom end. With a quality amp, they sound nearly as good as my $4,500 speakers. With their 91 db efficiency, my SIM Moon rarely leaves Class A and it's a real sonic treat.
I believe because they stay with a smaller driver, it helps them get the midrange right. When I bought mine (used) the dealer said, "But they're TV speakers" when I unpacked my SET amp to try them out. By the time my little tube amp had warmed up, the guys in the store were dragging out CD's they wanted to hear on the rig. The bi-polar design doesn't hurt either. I believe, it is one of the reasons they are able to get so much base and efficiency out of them.
On the downside, they are the plainest things I have ever owned. For looks, they are boring. I hate having to turn them upside down to change cables. I am considering rebuilding them, throwing away the socks, sanding the enclosures and re-finishing them with some kind of glossy automotive finish. Of course, I'll move the darn speaker lugs to the back "?" where they belong. That is if I don't reverse them to make them a front port.
Overall, one of my favorite play speakers.
