i have been lookingfor a good set of computer speakers for some time. most of the speakers i listen to simply sound like trash. the $80 speakers sound no better than the $20 models. i know the klipsch name from years ago, but didn't know if it carried the same quality. the bose sound good, but the price is too high for computer speakers. i read alot of reviews here on line and went to my best buy to check them out. i was dissappointed to find they were not hooked up (along with several others) but decided to take a chance and buy them anyway. (if i wasn't happy i would have marched right back with them) got them home, hooked them up and WOW! the sound is clear and the bass from the subwoofer is very clean. the sound is balanced for the most part, a little bass heavy. this will change depending where you place the sub woofer. i brought up the graphic eq and tapered down the lowest frequency and now its perfect. these speakers can get quite loud, so turn the volume control down before you play something for the first time. purchased on sale $130.
What's great about it: great sound, great price
What's not so great: bass can be a little "boomy" easy to correct at the source
