I purchased these after giving countless demonstrations and these are the best all around computer speakers I have heard. As a Saleperson at Best Buy that should say something. The sound quality outperforms the Bose Companion 2 ($100) and the Bose Companion 20 ($250) hands down! The Klipsch also boasts 200 Watts total system power AND holds the THX Certification which the Bose does not. THX Certification is meant to ensure that the sound produced by an audio system is heard in EXACTLY the manner that the audio engineer intended, thus making the standard an important feature. Low Frequecy sound produced by Subwoofers accounts for 30% of the sound we hear and while Bose mimics some of the lows well, it's no match for the Sub included with this speaker system. Many computer speakers can be comfortably turned all the way up, but at half volume with my doors and windows closed I can hear this system at my mailbox. Turn it all the way up if you wish but I would rather my ears not bleed! This is by far my favorite purchase from Best Buy to date and would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone wanting to hear their music the way it was intended!
What's great about it: Sound quality, Volume availability, Price for this Quality, THX Certified

This one device let's me integrate everything to my home theatre. I can stream any of my purchased movies or music from iTunes, pull and play music and digital movies from my PC, or stream movies or music from any of my idevices. There's nothing like being in control of what music is playing from my iPhone or iPod over the home theatre from anywhere in the house while doing chores or controlling playlists for a party without being tied to one place. It's "mirror" ability allows me to show anything from the screen of my iPhone 4s or iPad on my big screen tv. It also has access to other apps like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and even a few sports stations. Worth every penny!
What's great about it: Easy to set up, easy to use, multifunctionality, price.
What's not so great: Haven't found anything bad yet.
