 Has anybody got these and actually got them up and running? I am so curious, because as we all know; this is one of those deals that seems too good to be true...and we know how most of those turn out. I hope for those that bought that it's working out well, but sure would like to hear an unbiased opinion...or from somebody who put out their hard earned bucks for a set.
Thanks and cheers,

Hey, I joined this forum just so I could respond to your post
I actually have the 7.0 speaker set from Yambeka, and they are pretty good (especially for the money). The review that this guy made is pretty much spot on. The towers do have a reasonable amount of bass to them, obviously not as deep as a subwoofer, but then again, that is what subwoofers are designed for
The highs are fairly clean, and the mids are pretty good as well. I am not an expert when it comes to home audio (consider myself more well-versed in home video) but I still do know my way around a decent setup. I have my Yambeka's being powered by my Onkyo 605, and I couldn't be happier. Like the OP, I too took the grilles off the front of my speakers, as I like the high mirror black shine to them. It matches my TV
.
bottom line is this...... if you are looking for a good 5.0 or 7.0 speaker set on a budget, the Yambeka's are VERY tough to beat (I might even go out on a limb and say they are the best 7.0 set for the money). Obviously they are basically a no-name brand, but we all know that name brand doesn't guarantee performance when it comes to speakers..... Look at Bose for example
Hopefully my "review" helped you a little bit. they don't come much more un-biased than me
