Excellent, clear, clean sound. Easy setup. Aestheically pleasing.


Bad Points

Not cheap. Subwoofer was difficult to find a home for because it's HUGE!


General Comments

After a year and a half of using these speakers, I am convinced they are one of the best computer "investments" I have made in 20 years of chasing computer technology with money. These speakers are nearly perfect for what they are intended to do.

The sound quality is clear and clean at all frequencies. I hear subtleties in familiar music that I have never heard before. They have excellent separation and sound imaging, and enough power to shake the walls in my 9 x 12 office. (I find them to be most comfortable with the volume set at 45-ish out of 80 on the volume scale, and anything over 60 borders on painful). The speakers really shine with THX DVDs, but are also excellent with standard DVDs, CDs and the Windows Media Player.

One minor "issue" is the mini-tower fader, center speaker and subwoofer controls that are not very intuitive, but are learnable. Additionally the volume display skips digits occasionally when rotated, but that does not affect sound quality at all.

If you are happy with so-so sound quality, these speakers don't warrant the pricetag. If you appreciate clean, clear sound, these speakers are excellent!
