Replace an older non-managed 10/100/1000 switch and the impact has been tremendous. Hadn't anticipated a real change in the download speeds but was presently surprised to see how much throughput I wasn't getting. The additional investment of this "managed" switch was well worth the price. Being able to aggregate ports and prioritize ports was also a nice feature at the switch level.

After 3 months of daily use and being subjected to a variety of musical styles, no change in my original opinion or decision to buy these speakers. Still disappointed that the display in the store showcased a puck volume controller with headphone input jacks on that puck but this is a minor item given the overall build and performance quality of this item.
