Scandyna Pod Speakers

[DeadDog]

I saw these speakers is someone's HT gallery and thought they looked really nice. Although I'm not in the market right now for new speakers (need to wait a bit), I really like the idea of having nice looking speakers with some good sound when I finally get to purchasing. I would like to combine them with an Onkyo or equally compatible HD capable receiver eventually.

I know little about speakers and quality, and I know lot's of you here are pretty educated on it all. So my question is how do these speakers compare to other well-known, highly regarded speakers such as Polk Monitor 40's etc?

I know one can't base opinions on specs alone, so if anyone has experience with these then your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts would be to use a 5.1 setup with the Minipods as front and rear surrounds with the Cinepod as the center. Or maybe even the Bigpods for the front L/R and the Minipods as the rears.

Like I said I'm not looking to purchase now, but I wonder if this is even worth considering down the road. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Anyone?

i've never heard them before but have seen them around, couldn't tell you how they sound but i'll look around for some answers.

From what i read they are a good speaker for small to medium rooms, you will need a sub. I would say if you could find them for a good deal it would be a great addition to your home theatre but if you are looking at full price i would shop around and listen to some other brands.

here are a couple of articles i grabbed for you

Thanks twitch!

I tried to look for some reviews but didn't come up with much. You seemed to find a few with no problems though .

I'm definitely going to consider these, but only if I find a good deal. I suppose if I start looking now I might actually find some. Thanks again.
