Woah, where to start.. First off if you are having doubts about purchasing this hardware, or think your better off saving a couple of pounds going for a cheaper model then you must be CRAZY. This sound system is beyond amazing compared to what I used prior.. The sound quality is like no other and don't even get me started on the bass (im a DnB freak). My advice to you is BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!!

P.S Great delivery time, I was actually waiting in my room any moment for the doorbell to ring around 1pm. I went downstairs for a drink and what did I find in the hallway! I musta been sleep earlier.

P.S.S Its also very easy to install! and worth it!

After my very expensive pair of 2.1 speakers died out on me I started to lose hope on ever finding a decent system to play my music on. I play very demanding music, which requires the best of the best to handle it's heavy bass, treble and ambience. I needed a system that could handle this kind of power without blowing up or simply breaking. I decided to step up a notch to these 5.1 surround sound BEASTS! Packing with a decent 160 WATTS! Of power I can tell you now I was not disappointed when I first set up these babies! Ever since playing music has been more than a pleasure and I get it coming to me in all different directions! The bass on the amp is not even turned up a quarter way and it vibrates the room like MAD! The only bother is that these speakers require an external surround sound card or an internal card to play them but I'm telling you it's worth getting one because you really and I mean REALLY don't want to miss out on these roaring BEASTS!

When wired up to a PC these speakers are excellent for music and films: fantastic quality with truly volcanic bass! Yes it has to be wired through a 5.1 soundcard but the iTrust card that I bought further enhances the capabilities of the speakers themselves.
The only problem with these is that without a 5.1 soundcard (i.e connected to an xbox etc), nothing is directed to the subwoofer so the satellites have to do everything.
I have the Logitech X-530 system at uni and while the sub isnt so punchy, the satellites are more capable and its a much better all round system.
To conclude: Excellent speakers provided they are being run through a soundcard!

Where to start? These speakers are loud without loosing any quality. if your looking for quality bass these are perfect, at 1/3volume the sub vibrates my room etc..! They are small and stylish with easy connections. The bass can be adjusted seperatly making playing music at night less annoying for neighbours.

Some bad points, The blue LED on the centre sub is BRIGHT but can be coverd by tape and is fine in the light. You do need a true 5.1 sound card (3 seperate sockets instead of the standard headphone socket (same type)).

Please stop looking and buy these you will not regret it!

Hello,

I really like the look of these speakers going on the review and the Specification but I would like to be told "What is the signal-to-noise ratio of these speakers?". Once I know this then i will know whether to buy them because I know it is quite an important spec to be high for the sound quality.

Thanks
