I have this set of speakers at home and the are just extroidinary. Don't just hear the music feel it. This set of speakers has the most bang for its buck around, and coming from a company like altec you kow its dependable. So I say if you want to upgrade your sound system this is the way to go.

I just bought these speakers set and plugged it to my Aureal Vortex2 SuperQuad sound card.! I WAS STUNNED! Yes..! They sound great for gaming, mp3's or cd's....The surround sound makes you feel in the game....Powerfull 40 WATT sound can fill your room with good quality music! Great subwoofer delivers a stable, strong bass, and the 4 satelite speakers sound great as well I can say! Go for this one, a GOOD BUY... !!!!

This is a great speaker system! I bought it a year ago and is still going great (Speakers are very durible and cords too! - perfect for a dorm). There are few times when I can even play it loud enough to be distorted. If you don't want to spend over $100 get this system and save your money.

A few low points of concern -Cords should be longer for speaker (only 6 of 7 ft) -Sub could be louder at times -If you can spend $130 - $150 you will get a system that blows this away (Altec Lansing ADA305 PowerCube Speaker System) -It does have a bit of hiss when VERY loud

This system has the best value I believe, hey do really want to play music loud enough to start getting complaints anyway? If so, get the Altec Lansing ADA305 PowerCube Speaker System - an amazing system!
