Ive had these speakers about a year now. I used to have them running Windows XP and had real quality when playing music on media player. Since I got Vista I can only get 2.1 sound on windows media player even though I have got all settings correct and all speakers work when testing in control panel. Quite annoying.

I also pick up french radio from time to time (live in north west of england! lol) this can get quite annoying sometimes especially when the volume is on min.

Overall though, if you dont have any problems there great value.

I have seen some reviews complaining about the rear speakers being too quiet, the most common reason for this is that the onboard sound cards can't 5.1 off very well. My friend had this problem with his surround speakers on his onboard soundmax sound device which was on a dell computer. He solved the problem of the quiet back speakers by buying a new sound card(Soundblaster audigy 4) and then they worked perfectly.

I am a sound lover it has to be said, music is my love and my career. The sound from these speakers is beyond good value, it is perfection...not a hint of distortion even at almost inaudible levels (anybody with problems should check their mountings or computer volume levels). The bass is just right as ive seen a few reviews saying it is far too powerful, and provides warmth to even the most industrial of soundtracks. The ONLY criticism i have for this set-up is exactly how to wall mount them. The rotating stands dont provide much flexiblilty (your walls will need to be angled toward you if you want the sound directed at you) however if you have a flat surface to mount these on you wont have this problem. Also i have only a tiny box room and yet i needed to buy some extra phono/coaxial cabling to get the speakers to stretch to the back of the room (if anybody has a large room they will need to look into doing the same)

The speakers are fantastic, delivery was incredible (just 12 hours from dispatch) but i wasn't taken by the wall mount design or cabling length. If you can look past that then these spekers are perfect.

AMAZING! I have never spent so little on speakers and had such fantastic results! It outdoes my sony 5.1 system, and the subwoofer has amazing bass. The packaging is nice, and above all it works! I LOVE IT!! EVERYONE SHOULD BUY IT, AND AT AMAZONS PRICE, YOU'D BE STUPID AND AN IDIOT NOT TO! THANK YOU AMAZON! Oh and it looks wicked. Yo.

Amazing value for money. The best computer speaker I have heard in this category. Surprisingly quick delivery. The only downside is that the surround speakers aren't loud enough, no matter what you do to compensate.
