5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Audio for PC, or anything else for that matter!!, December 24, 2003

This review is from: Telex EV SONICXJR Multimedia Speaker System (Personal Computers)

I don't think there are too many other speakers out there that pack this much power and clarity. We are talking 245 watts total power! (125 watt sub and 60 watt each L and R mains). These things are outrageously loud and clear. Punchy bass and clear highs (not tinny). You could use them for just about anything really. They have RCA L and R channel inputs so they can be hooked up to a portable CD player, MP3 player, MiniDisc, or TV, just to name a few. There are also some convenient mic and aux inputs on the right main cabinet. They are larger than most PC speakers but the amount of sound is well worth the extra space.

I listened to every speaker system I could find at any of the major stores and this was by far the best sound comparing them to most I found. The only other speakers that come close are the Klipsch ProMedia line speakers which are fantastic also (but also very expensive). I wanted Klipsch speakers bad, but I bought these at an outrageously good price so that's what made me decide to purchase them instead of the Klipsch. I saved $130 off the normal price on these believe it or not, so it was impossible to pass up!

The Sonic XS line is made by Electro-Voice (EV) who is one of the top manufacturers of professional sound systems found in night clubs and concert halls so they have definitely done their homework. Horn tweeters allow for louder highs without distoring and the long throw sub speaker has killer bass that absolutely thumps. I have the Sonic XS 2.1's hooked up to my PC which has an Audigy 2 Platinum soundcard in it. I have my computer volume set at 60% with the sub level set at about 25% of the volume level and the main is only at around 20%. Any louder and you will have to leave the room! You will hear stuff from your computer games and digital music that you were never able to hear before, that I guarantee. You will think you are at a live rock concert. Unbelieveable!!

This review is from: Telex EV SONICXJR Multimedia Speaker System (Personal Computers)

I purchased this system for use as an enhancement to my TV speakers. For a table top TV with audio outputs, these powered speakers do wonders for the sound. A ... table top TV sounds like a million with these puppies hooked up. It doesn't hurt to have digital satellite tv audio either (sounds great off the dish). The sub woofer is gutsy with a level control and the other speakers have a horn tweeter as well as a woofer. There's an on/off and bass/treble control. There's also a mike jack, input for a portable device (such as a portable CD player) and a headphone jack (all on the right side speaker). For the money you can't beat them in my opinion. Amazon had the best price also. ... Great product!!
