5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Little Speakers!, May 4, 2001

This review is from: Boston Acoustics BA635 3-Piece Multimedia Computer Speakers (Personal Computers)

I originally purchased these speakers... about 1 year ago. They were on sale.... Being an avid Boston Acoustics fan, I was not disappointed with the sound of these little giants. The little subwoofer (with 4" driver) really pounds out some bass! This setup could easily out perform most home stereo systems. Hook up to anything with a 1/8" stereo line or headphone output (or other with adapter). Below I will list pros and cons:

PROS:

-Big sound from small speakers

-Very realistic sounds, from highest highs to rumbling bass

-Volume control on speaker (some MM systems have a wired remote)

-Easy connection with color-labeled wires

-At this price, A [good deal]!

CONS:

-Factory set length between L&R speakers

-Not "portable use" friendly (like some CSW models with battery)

-Large power supply "brick" which is external from speakers

HINT:

To get the best sound with the subwoofer, place on the floor, near a wall or the corner of the room. This will accentuate the output and leave you wondering how such a small speaker can deliver so much bass. Just don't expect TOO much from the subwoofer, a 4" driver can only do so much. If you still have those [inexpensive] speakers that came with your computer, do yourself a favor and upgrade to some REAL speakers. Trust me, one listen and you will become a Boston Acoustics fan for life!

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Pretty Well, August 7, 2002

These work pretty well. For our house, I have crafted together an excellent stereo system comprised of these speakers, and a pordable MP3-CD player. This allows mw to put together literally hours of music (converted from our cd collection) on each disk and create "party soundtracks", which differ by disk depending on the age and tastes of guests we are entertaining. Guests always comment on what a great sounding system we have, and are shocked when I tell them the whole package (mp3 player and these speakers) cost so little! ! !

I recently purchased these little monsters and I am extremely pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend these speakers to anyone who wants great sound for gaming, MP3's or just about any application without spending to much money.
