Good Value, No Treble control
Good price, good sound, but no hi frequency volume control. It has a base volume control, but no other frequency. The high frequency sounds come in too strong for my taste. I was a bit frustrated until I turned the speakers away from me toward the wall. That helped a lot. Still, it needs a full range equalizer. Then, tops!!
Outstanding sound
If you are looking for a great surround sound system buy this fast it is one of the best sound system I have ever owned. THX certified need i say more.....
Great Sound
This system sounds great. I can't believe the sound output for the size of the speakers. Great product for the money.
Outstanding; can hang speakers and rewire for distance placement
I will not reiterate everything that has already been said about this outstanding system, but will add two things. Do not be put off from buying because the speakers do not come ready to hang or that the cords to the speakers are not long enough. With a little ingenuity you can remedy both. You can open the speakers (the screws are behind the rubber gaskets that hold the screen cover on the front) and splice in copper speaker wire bought by the roll, put the speakers back together, and then splice the plug that connects to the subwoofer to the end of the length of cord you added. Then screw into the back at the top of each speaker a D-ring like those that come on the back of large/heavy mirrors or pictures; and you now have wall-mountable ... Read More
OK for the price but add stuffing to the sub
I enjoy good audio and have Paradigm and B&W speakers with Rotel equipment. This 2.1 setup is OK but the subwoofer booms badly. I removed the amplifier plate and put in about a gallon of speaker dampening, Acust-Stuf Polyfill. I left space around the transformer and the amplifier for cooling. Slightly packed the Polyfill around the speaker and loosley around the port tube opening, huge improvement. The 2 other speakers do lack midrange so I replaced them with some small paradigm speakers. Oh yes they sound great now. Do you really think you can get a good 2.1 for $100? well you can not, but with a few changs you will get great sound with the stuffed sub and 2 pretty good regular speakers. The described setup is prety darn good.
