I had these speakers back in 2008. They survived many moves, but by the summer of 2010, the audio input jack shorted out (I had to bend the wire a special way for the sound to work), AND the left speaker burnt out :(
Seriously, despite knowing that the parts ware out, I am thinking about getting these speakers again because, for the money, NOTHING COMPARES. I currently have a Logitech surround system, but I only use the two front speakers and the woofer overpowers the music sometimes. Being that I cant afford a Bose system now, I am thinking about returning my current system and buying these again...they are THAT GREAT. The sound quality/balance is awesome and it gets SOOO LOUD :D
I will be sure to ask about an extended warranty through BB (longer that 1 year).
What's great about it: Great Sound
What's not so great: hardware wares out/ warrantly is short
