I think you posted this thread somewhere else, and I answered. Yes, they are worth it, but audition them against Paradigm Cinema 330, same price range. They are completely different sounding, but both are pleasing. R225 is more musical, and 330 more dynamic, IMO better for HT. As on-wall designs, both will need a good sub to complete them. I auditioned Energy, DT, Klipsch, Vienna, and other on-walls. The Vienna were by far the best, along with some DT models, but price was twice or more of the R225 and 330. So, in their price range I consider them the best options.
