Don't know them, but all the octagonal Philips units like that seemed to me to be pretty good. Not much of a risk at that price.

Philips speakers tend to be good, although that hard dome tweeter was not one of their best efforts. It works, but is a bit 'sizzly'. The speakers should be OK as a whole though.

I didn't mention the possibly slightly sizzly tweeter, as at this price, not really important. Might have tamed a bit after all these years!

You may like them and at the 'buy it now' price you can't really go wrong, but the Pageants will be superior.

So are many. Not usually a problem, especially with more modern amps.
