is a perfect combination of incredible sound, easy home installation and affordable price.The satellite speakers, which are suitable for rooms up to 50 sqm, are even smaller than DIN A4 format when viewed from the front yet sound phenomenally good in either stereo or home cinema mode. All satellite speakers were endowed with new drivers, which were assigned a custom crossover point based on their respective functions. The cover grille was also redesigned for additional frequency response linearisation.With the new M 5500 SW subwoofer we managed to fulfil the strict requirements of THX Select while also reducing the enclosure volume. This was no easy task since a large enclosure volume is still the best way of achieving a high sound volume level. The compact housing has enough space for a hefty 300 mm neodym woofer with an amplifier that has 600 watt peak power and 350 watt nominal power. The class D amplifier generates very little waste heat and hence requires less electricity for the same power output, while the DPU reflex system keeps the bass powerful and free of distortion.Extremely high speech intelligibility, excellent traceability and amazing volume control guarantee pure and unadulterated listening enjoyment. The set is a perfect addition to all THX Select receivers and can be used with any conventional AV receiver. With the THX Select certified System 5, you have a product with watertight audio quality.Note: The speaker stands and cables are optional and must be ordered separately.

Advantages: Easy setup, simple controls Disadvantages: Very low output volume on 5.1 setup, completely unbalanced audio
The speaker look very nice but looks mean very little on a speaker system.
The system is relatively easy to setup with the usual 3 jack plugs used on most PC analogue 5.1 surround sound systems. You have the usual routing of the five speaker cables to take care of which plug into the rear of the control unit. The rear speakers have plenty of cable length to use when positioning the where desired. There is also a large, unique lead that connects the sub to the control unit which is also easily attached. The system comes with a rather bulky power supply that could have been neatly tucked away in the sub box, therefore only requiring a figure 8 power cable to do the powering up side of things but this is, after all, a budget system.
The Controls on the front of the control unit are very basic and easy to get your head around but are ...
Advantages: Quality sound for a low price Disadvantages: Short rear speaker cables
are too short, you can buy extension leads but it would have be nice if Creative just made them only a meter or two longer, this is a common problem in all surround systems I've encountered, everything else is perfect. A sound card or onboard audio with 5.1 sound option is required to take full advantage of the system but thats becoming a standard now on most devices. I use my PC for everything from movies, music, and games and I'm completely satisfied and have been for the past three years, when or if they break down then I'll upgrade.
The system can be bought for about £35, they seem pretty rare now, looks like they've been replaced by newer versions. Best bet is to keep an eye out for them on ebay. ...
Advantages: Small and compact. Nice setup for the first time venture into Home Cinema. Disadvantages: Not very stylish. Lacks a "punch" from the Subwoofer.
This is a small set of Home Cinema speakers that are OK for a small living room or bedroom, come Man-Room.
Not the most stylish of speakers I must say, however hooked up to a decent Amplifier ( I have the Onkyo 605), these little babies shine. They are more suited to Movies than Music, but you can get a good sound for Music if you tweak the settings on the rear of the Subwoofer. They also bring your Games console to life as well, utilizing the full range of ingame sounds that are available.
If there is one gripe I have with these is the lack of depth to the subwoofer, however you cannot expect miracles from what is essentially a budget speaker system.
In summary, well worth the modest asking price, albeit not very stylish. Recommended for anyone looking for their first venture into Home Cinema. ...
