I wanted some speakers to use for my computer, my LCD TV, and my ipod. I read the good reviews and at over $100 less than the bose, I decided to go for it. I have my TV and a spare stereo wire connected to the aux input via a y-adapter.
They get insanely loud for their size, and they still sound perfect at the high volumes. Great lows and mids...almost drowns out the highs, but you can adjust the bass with the knob. Sounds about right with the subwoofer near the minimum adjustment.
Everything looks very high quality. No cheap, light plastic stuff here.
Cons: The power switch is on the back of the subwoofer. Therefore, I have to unplug the thing or crawl under my desk to turn them off. The back of the subwoofer stays really warm even when off, so I would like to turn it off.
I had to drive 40 miles to a BB that had them in stock...
What's great about it: Awesome Sound, High quality speakers
What's not so great: Power switch on back of subwoofer
