I paired these speakers to a Marantz stereo receiver and it sounds very nice for music. IMO these are probably not the best to play real loud music, but for soft listening, I find that these speakers really do well. In other words, these are not "party' speakers

. If you add a subwoofer, they should perform well for HT (again not for a real loud, thunderous sound).
