Are these speakers the best, no. But for the money I think they are. I own two 2.1's (11 yrs and new, the 4.1's (20 yrs). They all sound like brand new.
It has made being on my computer and listening to music fun again. Listening to music had become putting on my pods and/or listening in my car. The system is worth every penny!!
By far the best sound I've ever had out of my desktop. Makes it fun practicing with musical accompaniment so I can get my timing right. Great speaker setup.
