Author's Review
I have had these for about a week or two and like how they have performed so far. It is a really great deal for cheap surround that still sounds good. They are easy to setup, take up very little room, can go into 5.1 surround sound even on 2 channel with Matrix mode on, and you can hook it up about to anything.
When my speakers arrived they were in a small box smaller than my old subwoofer. They were neatly packed, the speakers were seperate from the sub and everything was easily removed. The setup was easy all it was, was place the speakers to where I wanted them, then get the sub out hook everything up to it and plug the sub in, and finally hook it into whatever you need sound for.
I tested them on my xbox 360 and they sounded good for how much they costed, (about $100 after delivery and taxes) which is very reasonable for how good they are. They can do regular stereo setup and surround setup in 5.1. If your using a 2-channel audio source you can go into Matrix mode to make it 5.1 at the cost of some quaility, which is not very noticeable. I personally prefer the Matrix mode, some may rather not have it, but if you have a 5.1 sound card for your pc you can get by the Matrix mode for surround sound.
You can hook these up to anything pc, xbox, playstation, wii, dvd players, cd players, mp3 players, and heck even a N64 if you wanted.
Now to the cons.
While there are cons to this system they are small and are easy to get around. One is the cord length for the rear speakers which is easily taken care of with some RCA audio cables. And yes the bottom part of the woofer is exposed so be careful when handling it.
