YOU CANNOT PASS THESE UP!!!!!!

First off, I am a home theatre buff. Second, I am not an audiophile, that is, I am no audio expert. What I can tell you is that if you have any kind of "run of the mill speakers", you will notice a vast improvement with these babies! If I had to describe it without using any technical jargon, which I could not anyway, I would say that these very rich and full sounding. I did not quite realize what the benefits of "wide range" other reviewers were talking about. I knew what it was, but had a hard time putting my finger on what difference it would make. It only takes one listening session to learn how much better speakers with good range sound. You can spot it immediately, especially if you are upgrading from those run of the mill speakers.
I did hear the "tinnyness" right out of the box other reviewers mentioned. However, after about a 30 hour break in period so far,they are really starting to "smooth out" and sound better and better as each hour passes. So it is important to follow the break in proceedure.
These are not typical satellite micro speakers, however I prefer the added dynamics only possible in a larger speaker. Also, Athena wants you to set all of the speakers to LARGE on your receiver. I also find the mirror black to be very attractive. These are also pretty heavy. With my other, smaller speakers, I just put the two front speakers on my speaker stands with velcro. However with these, I suggest you get some 3M double sided tape(this is great stuff). This is the kind used for automotive emblems and can be found in the automotive section of almost any store.
It looks like Amazon is out of these now. They had them for $189.00 for a few days. I also got $30.00 off for signing up for an Amazon card and putting them on that, which I have months same as cash to pay for them. So I really feel like I got a good deal on these at $159.00 shipped! I also got free second day shipping for signing up Amazon prime trial. Amazon ran out of these one other time not so long ago, but they got some more in. I am not sure if they plan on getting any more in or not this time.

I whole heartedly agree with all the positive feedback on these awesome speakers. I have owned these for almost a year now and love them. I mated these to a Panasonic SA-XR55S digital receiver. (Which BTW is also the cats meow.) This setup is AWESOME.. (but remember you do need an active sub)

So if you can find them buy them.

Great speakers!

I could write the same things as the other reviewers -- man it is really true. I upgraded from my dry-rotted 20-year-old speakers/system to a 5.1 system. My old school of thought was somewhat skeptical -- how could I get full sound out of these tiny things?

The results are amazing. I've had these since November '05 and they sound just great. I paired this up with an Audiosource PSW-100 subwoofer and a Sony STR DE-898 receiver.

You will need a subwoofer!

There is no way for a speaker system of this price that I could possibly feel justified in offering any criticism here. It is really big sound from some really smallish speakers but you can shake the walls with these babies.

WOW! wow! WWWWOOOOWWW!!

I'd spent nearly 3 months searching for an affordable home theater solution before stumbling upon these little gems of a speaker called Athenas at my local best buy. I was immediately blown away by the amazing sound quality of the tiny Micras so naturally, I began researching the company and their products. After 2 months of homework and browsing AVSFORUM.com, I decided to purchase the point5s from onecall.com. The speakers are definitely bigger than you think, but are actually quite small for the sound they reproduce.

I CANNOT, cannot---C-A-N-N-O-T say enough great things about these speakers. Paired with the Athena 10 inch sub and an Onkyo 7.1 channel receiver, these speakers allowed me to watch all 3 Star Wars DVDs like I've NEVER been able to watch before - EVER. They produce such amazingly accurate HIGHS and lows that just make you want to make EVERY damn night a blockbuster (or netflix) night.

BUT be warned, you will want to watch EVERYTHING over and over again. You will turn down the X3 premier just so you can watch it at home when it comes out on DVD. You will make fun of your friend who spent more than 2 paychecks on their awesome BOSE (read, crap) Lifestyle system and laugh in their face when they'd rather watch T2 and Lord of the Rings at YOUR place instead. Your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, financial advisor, mailman will use every damn excuse on this planet to accidentally "drop by" whenever you happen to have another movie night. You may NEVER step foot outside of your house again. Ever. My apt measures 22x18 (with 11' ceilings) and these speakers fill the ENTIRE room with such beautiful, melodic, accurate, extraordinary, amazingly, incredibly, tremendously, pure and intoxicating AWESOME sound. Can you tell that I absolutely love these things? If these speakers do no blow you away, NOTHING WILL.

You wont regret this purchase.

These speakers are awesome. I was waiting for my speakers to break-in before I write this review. I had a pair of Sony SS-MF650H for my mains and a Sony SS-CN550H for my center and SONY surrond speakers ( I dont remember the model no). I was unhappy with my SONY purchase as it sounded OK but not great.
I knew ATHENA makes great speakers but was very doubtfull if these bookshelfs can replace my floor standing. But I was clearly amazed to see these speakers shine. These are way better than my SONY speakers.You need a subwoofer for these speakers.
This will be the best 200 dollars you have ever spent.

The new POINT 5 MK II System from Athena Technologies combines style, technology, and sound quality all in a small sized yet powerful entertainment system for your home.This award winning system comes complete with four identical S.5 speakers, and a C.5 center channel speaker. It's recommended to use a subwoofer with the Point 5 MK II (not included), either the AS-P300, or AS-P400. Both are designed to perfectly complement the Point 5 MK II, choose the one that's right for your room size. The black high gloss finish and silver baffles give the speakers a deceptively small appearance.The true power of Athena TECHNOLOGIES shines through with the SCT control on the AS-P300 or AS-P400 subwoofer. Simply adjust the SCT control and the front speakers are perfectly "blended" with the active subwoofer. This is the most difficult part of setting up subwoofer-satellite systems from competitor's models. Its difficult to know where to set the frequency control on the subwoofer, the Athena TECHNOLOGIES engineers has optimized the system for you. This ensures that whether you listen to music or movies the sound will be seamless from subwoofer to speaker, sounding like a full sized tower speaker at a fraction of the cost, and space in your room.For a complete compatibility list please refer to the original manufacturer's web site.
