General Comments
I've been into hi-fi for more years than I care to remember, and the only way to see how good a speaker is, is to listen to it!
I never get tired of listening to the Harman Multimedia Soundsticks II speakers. The highs are crystal clear, the mids are spectacular and the bass, when set correctly, is very good too. Not only do these speakers look good, they are. Take a look at photos of them, they're gorgeous, and wait until you hear them. One possible niggle is that they could do with a bit more power than the 20w rms they come with, but even on full volume there is no distortion.
A friend of mine has just purchased the acoustic energy AE's, and the sound quality is not as good as the Soundsticks.
