Buy it!

(5 out of 5) by Silly Asian Man on Jan 4, 2002 (San Francisco Gay Area, CA)
These speakers are simply amazing. Besides having superb sound quality and kickass bass, the wireless remote control is ineffably convenient. I can lay in bed and adjust the master volume any which way I wish, or, if I want, adjust just the front or rear volumes. The remote control, to me, is the star of the show. No other speaker system out there offers one like it. There are also 3 input options to choose from, which means that you can plug in your home theatre, cd player, computer, or anything else into the speaker system and choose which input to use. In other words, the speakers can be used for more than just your pc. Installation is so easy it's not even worth mentioning.

The only bad thing I can think of: if you lose the remote control, you're screwed. There is no other way of turning the speakers on or off without the remote.

Excellent product for low price..

(5 out of 5) by Alejandro Moreno on Sep 10, 2001 (Bogota, Colombia)
I order this product for you low price. The sound is clearly perfect with a sound blaster live. The new system WOOX for the bass is extraordinay. The design is new, flat and looking good.
The remote control have wide range. (from my bed to my computer about 7 or 8 mts :) They include for bases to mounting on wall or other site, excellent for surround experience.
I liked very much. obviusly they are many products but the price is to high. This product satisfied many thigs, price, quality, design and good sound.

These speakers RULE ...

(5 out of 5) by yuri on Sep 1, 2001 (Vancouver, Canada)
... Especially considering the medium price this speaker system is no better than any 200 dollar speakers. If you are looking for a 5 set speaker system than this is your best choice. I have one and when I turn it up it sounds better than my RCA hometheater!

good choice

(5 out of 5) by alby on Feb 20, 2003 (belleview, florida)
I find this system to be a good choice because of the price and the way it was built. I have listened to the bass in my bedroom and i love bass, so i enjoyed this setup. Dont expect the walls to fall down, well they do shake some, but for a computer speaker, it rocks. and clarity surprised me, most of the time you get either good bass or good highs, but never both the same time, this is as close as it gets without spending 250 to 300. so a good choice. but dont loose the remote! the bass did in fact make me smile. and i listen to music for a living.

Flimsy stands, good sound

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 17, 2004 (Philadelphia, PA)
I ordered this and as soon as I got it, the stands for the flat speakers started breaking. The speakers sound great, but the plastic stands are real flimsy. 3 out of 4 have broken. But if you are careful with them ahead of time, knowing they are kinda flimy, im sure you'll be fine. The sound is really good. Bass and otherwise.
