excellent pc/walkman/ipod speakers
after reading the various raves and complaints about these speakers, i ended up buying a set anyway. ok, i'll admit that the "hip" factor played a role. i found these to be great speakers for both my walkman and the pc. unlike the other reviewers who had problems with volume, once i figured out that the volume controls are the discreetly placed silver buttons on the stick itself (not the large button on the sub-woofer), i managed to pump up the volume quite loud, neighbours notstillstanding.granted the fidelity isn't in the range of "audiophile" but i'm not intending to hook them up to a vacuum tube analog amplifier either. more than adequate for pc or walkman and huge improvement over some of the satellites i've owned in the past. i would recommend these to others.although my daughters like the blue nite lite effect of the always on illumination, i still deducted one star for the lack of a power switch.
