 works great! Mar 22, 2010
Bought this to use as part of a home theater setup.
Works great! It will make the house shake if you
want it to. The satellites are larger than many,
and I think they provide excellent sound.
Sound is impressive, very clear and loud....my friends want them too. Dec 30, 2009
Very high quality of sound, the subwoofer makes no distortion at all. I never thought this set of speakers were so good.

 Subwoofer the weakest link in this system Dec 01, 2009
If I had paid more than I did, 300 euros, I would've been sorely disappointed.
The satellites do sound great, not as warm as my old Infinity bookshelves, but very full. They are a little flat, not dynamic and they don't fill my little 6 X 15 ft. room, but still, their range is good and pure.
However!
The subwoofer, no matter what settings I've used on my very nice Marantz SR5002 AVR, and no matter where I put the ugly beast, doesn't hold up. I'm going to put it on the market and look for another sub. It's boomy, and while it :may: fill in the lost lower frequencies, it's hit and miss. Plus, did I say it's boomy?
Sorry, but for me, "house shaking" does not equal a good sub.
Better heard and not felt, is my feeling. I feel this thing, but just hear "whoomp whoomp whoomp." Is that music, or a jack-hammer?!
My old subs, a passive set by Cambridge Soundworks did a great job for their 15-year life. I heard all the rich sounds, but never got jolted mid-song by a misplaced "bra-ooomp!!"
Another :little: problem is the transformer in the sub hums. I had to take it out and re-screw it on the outside of the panal on the sub; no biggie if you've got a soldering iron, but we shouldn'be be hearing the sub humming during quieter parts of movies, right?
My opinion? If you can get this for under 300, take it, keep the sats, and try and sell the sub for a few bucks to a starving student.

Amazing System Jan 13, 2009
I recently purchased this speaker system for my family room to use with my Onkyo TXSR706 Silver . It looks and sounds amazing. I have tower speakers in my theater room and get just as much enjoyment out of this small system. I think it is the best possible speaker system for under $800.00.

Superior speaker system Dec 07, 2008
These speakers are top of the line. Superior in every way. These are
not every day surround sound theater speakers. They are heavily made
and excellent quality. The sound is terrific. These are upper end
speakers and with an excellent receiver should give you a wonderful
listening experience for music or your surround theater. I am very
pleased by them, could not ask for better speakers.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
