I bought these about 2 years ago for about $70 and never regretted it for a second. They're not as good as my 100w/channel reciever and monitors, but for the price they're outstanding. They take up very little space and I'm surprised at the amount of clean base that comes out of such a small sub. These really are better at music than any sub-$100 powered speaker that I've heard. I've also cranked them and they get very loud before there's any distortion. These may not sound the "best" for some FPS games, but I end up going on alot of long business trips and these come with me and are great for movies, music and games from my laptop. Two sets of these would be great for a 4 speaker surround setup. Just my opinion.
