FWIW, I listened to this set (or a very similar one) at BJ's wholesale club, where it was matched with a Kenwood sub and receiver and being sold as an all-in-one system. I was not terribly impressed by the sound as the highs seemed very subdued, almost non-existent; reminded me of cheap compact systems from the 1970s. However, part of this could have been due to the signal source; all that was available for listening was FM radio.

I was going to mention that. Still, people should know what they're getting.

 

[TheKub]

Ug. $50 ground shipping for me.

 

[yhelothar]

hmmm i thought this was a crazy deal until i saw receiver and subwoofer is not included.

 

[fleshconsumed]

Yep, receiver and woofer not included, otherwise I would have already bought one

Why would you try to gauge a speaker's performance in a HUGE open space like a wholesale club, either?

The accoustics are not exactly optimal, to say the least.

good god...
shipping is the same price as the speakers themselves.
