Any Comments on the Athena AS-R1 Surround Speakers?

[dm_4u]

Has anyone used these?

I am considering using these as "Presense" front effects speakers and would like some input.

Currently I am using Athena SCT speakers all around.

Anyone have experience with both lines, (SCT and Audition)?

Not sure if di-poles are ideal for forward position speakers. The pricing almost looks like overkill for the amount of sound they will be required to produce. Look like decent side surround speakers but as presence? Not sure.

I use them as rear surrounds and they do a great job of diffusing sound. Got them for a sond at BestBuy so it was a low cost gamble that paid off.

I would not think thata these would be good front speakers though
