[BC] The actual quality

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Yes.

Athena is affiliated with Mirage I believe.

Paul Barton (PSB) makes great speakers. I would consider them a step up from
the Athenas. They cost a bit more, but if you have the $$ are well worth the
money.

The Athenas are the low price bargains. Why buy Sony or Pioneer when for about
the same price you can have a speaker 10 times better?

PSB Alphas are pretty amazing for their price as well. Recently, affordable 
speaker engineering has taken some remarkable steps forward, particularly 
in Canada, where the CRC ran a loudspeaker evaluation lab for many years. 
This spawned companies like PSB, Mirage, and several others.
