So I bought these speaker being a long time Kilpsch owner, having had a few products of theirs in the past. Great quality speakers, awesome subwoofer. Definitely worth the price, however, I did notice sum static when playing a few game WoW being one of them. Dont know whether to blame it on the server or the speakers. But then again on Bad company 2 I felt like I was in the warzone with the subwoofer on the floor and a grenade blowing up... you feel it. turning the vlume up too high will make the subwoofer pop a bit, but its truely beyond the listening comfort level anyway so not a big deal. And one other minor complaint, the satelite's stand does look a little goofy on a $500 computer desk with one satelite not having the volume controls, there is a big gap underneath the speaker itself. But over all a great choice especially for the price, either these or Bose, Bose being the supurior brand but not offering the same power, had to go with the ones that were $250 cheaper. Buy these definitely, but keep it low, the neghbors might call the police..... ; )
What's great about it: The bass really give more emphasis on the BOOM effect in action movies and games.
What's not so great: Subwoofer starts popping when you turn the volume up too loud.
