I bought the surround speakers around 3 months ago and could not be happier! I have had the sound bar and sub for around 1 year, which give an amazing sound on their own, however when adding the surround it gives a completely immersive movie theater sound. Honestly makes a night and day difference from only the sound bar and sub. I love this system for both movies and music. There is so much 3 dimensional movement in the sound, clarity, brightness, and solid base. I think to the consumers stating that the surround speakers are underwhelming are not understanding the purpose of surround speakers. These speakers do an excellent job with 5.1 audio, and serve the purpose of "surrounding" the listener in the audio experience. They are not intended to have the vocals or primary audio. Slowly adding to my Citation collection. Hopefully the 300 will come back in stock!
