Item condition: ThisVT-12 package includes four 6-inch-tall satellites, a 17-inch-wide centerspeaker, and a 6-inch-tall rear-center speaker. Note: The grills for two of thesatellite speakers are not included. The center channel grill is cracked on theinside but it fits perfectly and the cracks are not visible when mounted on thespeakers. I never used the grills because the speakers sound noticeably betterwithout them, IMO.

Expert Comments (CNET)

THE GOOD:Rich-sounding (mostly) mini 6.1-channel speaker package; innovativecenter-channel speaker; rear-center speaker works with 5.1- or 6.1-channelreceivers.

THE BAD:Large center speaker; unique wiring configuration, may pose aesthetic issuesfor some.

THE BOTTOM LINE Hsu Research\'s mini speaker package serves up a big, even, lushsound.
