Perfect compliments to the AT 270 5 speaker surround package I bought at the same time.  Kick-ass movie system, and with the support of the 272 the 271L and 271R front speaker pair outperform my old Infinity floor-standing speakers when playing stereo music.  It is a rare speaker package that really does both movies and music well, and this AT set (with the 272) is one of the few I've heard that do so.
