Great low volume system. Crisp highs, loud mids, and rich deep bass when volumes are low. However, crank it up and subwoofer is easily overpowered. Satellites sound great under 50% volume. Crank up the volume and you will immediately be headed back to the store to return these junk speakers.
If you listen primarily to rock music, you wont be disappointed. good rock style bass, perfect mids/highs (really, awesome). But if you like rap music, techno, dub step, etc. or music that requires lots of deep bass, this system is not for you.
If you listen at low volumes, then you will LOVE these speakers. They have clear, crisp highs, loud mids, and rich lows (at low volume). Far superior to any other speaker system. But... Try to blast the volume and forget it - bass is distorted, lots of rattle and the mid/highs become raspy. THD spec is 5% - noticeable right away...
If you like LOUD, house filing sound, like I do, then you should be looking elsewhere for speakers. These speakers DO NOT fit the bill.
What's great about it: crisp, clear, rich sound at low volumes
What's not so great: don't try to blast it. you'll be sorry..
