I'm using a set of these in my kitchen connected to my server PC and softsqueeze. Before anyone else splashes the cash whilst they're undeniably impressive (especially for the money - <�100 now) they have a number of weaknesses. Actually, i'd say that they probably dont sound as good as a �150 conventional amp and speaker system but then you lose the convenience. Midrange is 'iffy' (neither speaker is optimal for mid reproduction) and the bass can thump with some music, even switched to minimum. Listener positioning is crucial - too close to either the sub or sat's and sound changes radically. From the sweet spot they do sound good however, and they go impressively loud. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
