yes, better than the kenwoods. though i still say the kenwoods weren't all bad. bookshelves had 7 inch woofers so they gave out good bass...anyhoo they're being donated to my father now. poor old man thought he got a deal on some nice speakers from a van that happened to be white... so. listened to Dark side of the moon 5.1 mix and all i can say is putty...putty in the hands or ports of my axioms. it was amazing, was good with my old speakers but with these ones wow and i think it got better as it went on (break in?) anyways DSOTM 5.1 has sold me on my speaker investment. if you've never listened to the DSOTM 5.1 mix do yourself a favour and get it
