5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing........These are the best Value-for-money-speakers, February 19, 2001

I got this set of Speakers with my new system, opting for the "Cheaper" compared to the "Cambridge system". But believe you me. Compared to a similar product by creative, this is worth its weight in gold.

Clear rich bass, with distinct treble and higher tones. Great for games, mp3's, or even a small gathering that wants to rock to some music. The output is good. The two cubes are 6+6=12 watts. The sub-woofer is a great 20 watts with a 6.5 inch long throw woofer. If you dont want to go for the more expensive and bigger 5-piece systems, this is the best 3-piece alternative.

On the downside though...there is no treble control, and the subwoofer bass control is on the back of the woofer. So as in my case, if it is tucked in the corner somewhere, then it can be rather cumbersome to turn it up and down. However, I've found that setting it at medium works, cause with my SB!live card, i control the bass and treble from the taskbar "Play control" properties by going into the advanced properties.

Use it with a good card (SB!live..my suggestion) and it will be your best friend....YOur music system will have to file for redundancy.

These speakers sound excellent. They don't look like much but the sound speaks for itself. Enjoyed for a year until the speakers bunked out on me, otherwise it would have gotten ***** instead of ****.

This set of speakers are the greatest for the price. They deliver high quality sound and the woofer hits very hard. For [price] you couldnt find a better set of speakers. I have knocked pictures off of the wall downstairs with the volume maxed out. I took this set and wired them into my TV and use them as surround sound. If you are thinking about buying them, go on its a good buy.
