I finally decided on these speakers after deciding I wanted a decent 2.1 system to hook up to my new Mac laptop. The speakers sound great and the little 6.5" sub actually puts out some decent bass. My only complaint would be the lack of a power on/off switch which I felt was quite odd. You just have to plug these guys into a surge protector and use that for your switch. There are not many choices for decent computer speakers, it was basically between these Klipsch 2.1 setup for $150 and the BOSE companion 3 (Bose's 2.1 setup) for $250. The Bose may look sexier but not worth the extra $100. If you've got the money I would step up to the Bose Companion 5.1 setup.
