I also appreciate the review. My parents bought my bro the ASB1's for Christmas $90 (friend's employee discount). I haven't done extensive listening yet but from initial music and video game playback the sound is promising. Right off the bat I could tell they don't perform quite as well as my M22's but they are very impressive for $90 a pair of speakers. It is also paired with my old cheap ass Sony reciever. I may add to this post in the near future. Hopefully over the summer I can compare the B1's to my dad's PSB Image 2b's. I already know they can't hold a candle to my M22's
