When I purchased this speaker system I was sceptical about how they would sound . Several reviewers complained that they were too bassy or tubby sounding. I tested the speakers on two different computers. One had integrated sound (on the motherboard) and the other had a Creative Sound X-fy sound card. On the computer with the integrated sound, the speakers were very bassy, even after turning the bass volume all the way down. On the other hand, the speakers sounded awesome on the computer with the Creative sound card! In conclusion, if the speakers sound bad, upgrade your sound card and you will be astonished by how great they really sound. The only con is that they are pricey. I guess you get what you pay for.
What's great about it: Good looking speakers with a bass unit tthat is not too large. Awesome sound!
