Pros: Superb sound, especially given their size. Bass/Treble controls if you need them (I don't)
Cons: Dark glasses needed until you fix the LED. Makes near everything else sound poor.

I was going to upgrade my soundcard, then at the last moment I decided to upgrade my speakers first.

This ranks as one of my better decisions; these speakers are truly wonderful, and I don't need a new soundcard. The sound quality is comparable with my HiFi system, which only cost about 100 times more (QUAD/Kef).

Along with everyone else, I was blinded by the blue LED power indicator, so scribbled over it with a black CD marker.

I'm a little concerned about the open bass ports on the tops; I'm sure to drop something in! I plan to cover them with speaker gauze.
