I wanted a new set of speakers for under £100 for university, and after doing a lot of research into it, these were apparently the best.
When I first opened the box I was shocked at the size of the satellites, they are tiny! The sub on the other hand is sizeable, but not too large. I was even more shocked when I got the speakers plugged in!
The sound quality really is excellent, especially when you consider the price range they're in, I think they are better quality than a Phillips 600W surround system I used to put music through. The bass is very good, but not overdone and the trebles are crisp. The mids are perhaps not quite there, but having said that I generally scoop the mids on my EQ anyway. Note that I am saying all this with a Creative X-Fi X-mod soundcard, you really need a soundcard (not integrated!) to get the most of these speakers, and the card was £30-40 well spent.
For the size they are very loud. I could shake the entire block at university with them; people 2 floors up were saying they could hear when I got a new MSN message! They were shocked when they came in at the size of the things that had been impeding their studies.
The build quality is superb, the satellites are heavy for their size, and have a metal casing. The sub is wooden as you'd expect but the volume knob and surround is metal, giving it a nice feel.
It has a front input for music if you don't play music from your computer, and will actually mix the front and rear together, having the front slightly lower in the mix. This is a nice touch, not that I use it myself as I play all my music from the computer. On the rear it has an option for a centre speaker, although I don't know where one of these can be purchased from, and has an on off switch for it. The sub has 3 levels too, so if your housemates are sleeping you can crank it up to full :P.Anyway there's only so much you can say about a set of computer speakers, so I'll stop, but these really are very good value for money, and I'm more than impressed with them
