The speakers were a breeze to set up. Don't let the sound demo in the store fool you. Next to the Bose these speakers did not sound as good in the demo, but it;s a demo with specially formulated mixes set up to impress you. Whereas the demo for these was just plain music coming from a CD/radio.
The sound is unreal, it reproduces beautiful, full range 3d sound to the point where you can close your eyes and 'see' the position of the instruments relative to your sitting position.
I got these on a cyber Monday deal at under $100 so the value is fantastic. The only complaint so far is the speakers are ugly, not as pretty as Bose speakers.
