Good Speakers for Price [Posted on 2005-01-17]
Im running these speakers with an integrated sound card, which is 5.1. It was easy to setup, and great sound. The remote makes it easy to use. The sound goes up to level 8, but you really dont hear much at levels 1-2. Although they are great. Also, if you have a cell phone near by, it makes noises, but thats just a technicality. Highly recommended for the price. Enjoy!
A Great System.. for any price range [Posted on 2005-03-20]
I just recently bought this speaker speaker system and have not a single bad thing to say about it. I tend to believe many of the problems reported are software problems that reviewers don't know about. As, once I bought this, I found some settings I didn't even know about and had to change them for the best listening. Anyway, about the speakers themselves, they rock. I'm a huge music lover. After reading some reviews, I read these speakers only sound good on true 5.1 such as DVDs. Simply not true. These speakers play normal music perfectly. After fine tuning my software settings, I found the sweet spot and it sounds great. The subwoofer has great bass. I'm a bass fanatic and this fills all my needs. However, for certain songs, when bass isn't required, for example, I listen to Bach. The bass can be also turned off for very clear listening. However, when listening to bass tests with the bass maxed out the woofer kicks like you wouldn't believe. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!

Defective by design [Posted on 2007-03-24]
Make sure you're happy with the volume setting on the control, then never touch it again if possible. I've had issues with the volume fading to near silence if I have to turn down the volume with the hardware control. Tapping on the knob brings the volume back.
After looking up solutions to this problem, it turns out that there is a floating ground issue with the volume control. This is a manufacturing flaw that has hit more than a few users.
When they work, they're great. If you're struggling to get your sound back, not so much. If not for the volume issue, I'd keep 'em. Instead, I just bought a set of Logitech X-540 speakers.
Solid performer for 4+ years [Posted on 2007-05-21]
I actually purchased the 6.1 version, which is no longer sold, but exactly the same except for a rear center channel speaker. In early 2003, when I bought it, it was definitely one of the least expensive speaker setups out there. When I took it home, though, I was surprised at how much sound these things can put out. Impressively, I can't perceive much distortion AT ALL at loud volumes, and the sound is very clean. The software package with the EAX environment options and speaker settings is excellent, and my only complaint is that it is tricky to find a balance between rear and front channel volume if your rear speakers are placed far away. I have not experienced the volume fading problem that has been mentioned in a couple other reviews. Bass can be overwhelming, but that is a capability of the subwoofer, not a problem - it is easily adjusted via the controller. This package is pretty simple - I would have liked to see other connection options, but hey, it's over four years old and was very inexpensive. Overall, how can I complain about these speakers? They sound perfect to my ears (though I'm not particularly an audiophile) and I listen to mp3 music constantly. Sure, I could afford to purchase a "better" speaker system, but I have yet to find a reason to.
