At first, I was skeptical about ordering these speakers because of the mixed reviews it's received. I decided to order them because they were on sale. I tested my preferred genres (classical, house, lo-fi, lounge, trance) and it sounds beautiful, but there are several things that could be improved.
Cons: - The unit is always on - The speaker wires are thin - The satellites are not balanced at low levels - The right satellite overpowers the left until past 7 o'clock on the Main Volume dial
Overall, it's a decent 2.1 system for the price (94.99). I am slightly upset that the satellites aren't balanced and hope the system does not turn out to be defective. I am debating whether or not to return this system.
