about the speakers, i can't say anything as i still can't wipe the smile off my face. i can't believe that these are multimedia speakers and not proper home theater setup. the system just doesn't run out of breath. it got loud enough to back off but the speakers kept going on as it was nothing. highly recommended for pure music pleasure. just take the plunge like all of us and go for them....... all these reviews can't be wrong.
In a nutshell everything is well thought out and quality is written all over so why give it 4 stars rather than 5? The subwoofer isn't magnetically shielded, I assumed because the speakers were the subwoofer would be too, doesn't make a difference to monitors unless it's within about 6 inches but still, it looses a star for that. Otherwise top notch sound quality, performance, design and creativity, NOT dissapointed.
The good: deceptively small satellite speakers,amazingly clear music,powerful bass, neat little remote, simple modern design, audio inputs for other musical devices....excellent value for moneyThe bad: the subwoofer is enormous, plenty of wire clutter even though its a 2.1 speaker system
also note that i would highly recommend using the speakers in conjunction with sound blaster series cards to make the most out of the speakers. in conclusion , the cambridge soundworks megaworks THX 250D is the undisputed king of 2.1 speaker systems!
