Sorry, that's where you're wrong. I have had ADA880, ADA885, sold them for Klipsch ProMedia. The 880 and 885's rear does NOTHING!. It's weak and nothing comes out. As for sound quality, their sound is nice when you stack them up (ie take the speaker from the base in the back <fyi, that's why it sounds so weak> and stick it in the front). Even though it had a remote, and lCD Display. Get the ProMedias, it sounds VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD. Much better then the ADA (excuse me) crap. But if you're trying to save money, you wouldn't get the 100$ speaker in the first place
