Rave: GtPrOjEcTX- I ordered mine on Fri and got them today...reg. shipping. OK...sorry.

I foudn the perfect place to put the volume I attached the volume knob thing underneath the desk, right below my mouse pad, so I can be controlling my mouse and switch to the volume turner in less then a second. I love this thing

mine was actually happy that I got these instead of the $130 Altec Lansing 2100s I was looking at. These better be good.

Rant: Ordered these on Friday using Airborn Express overnight...still not here on Monday.

I set mine up on Friday too, but I put my volume switch under my desk on the opposite side of my mouse so that I can keep mousin' while I adjust the volume Also attached the speakers to the part of my desk that goes above my monitor, so now I don't have speakers cluttering my desktop... I'm still amazed at the frequency response of these flat panels - I did find one frequency that they don't handle well, but I eq'd that out and they're working awesome!

Thank you SOOO much for this post! Got my speakers today, and I love them! Incredible sound for only $30. Not sure where I am going to put the volume control yet, but that is the least of my worries at this point. For those of you that are still considering this purchase, it is FLAMING HOT! Well worth the $30 you will spend!

No problem. I've been a huge Cambridge Soundworks fan for years. Their products are extremely well made, sound great, cut the hype, and are 1/4-1/2 the price of their competetors (Bose). My computer has had CS speakers for years, and my home theater currently has their Movieworks 308 package (which sounds incredible). I just like spreading the word

BTW- Check out their other speaker offerings at HiFi.com

"Can you turn the bass up a little, I can barely hear myself think" - a nice quote from my boss this morning as I set it up and barely had it cranked up at all! Imagine these beauties to some real bass tunes and upped a little!? These things ROCK!!! Only complaint is that they don't have a headphones jack, but I just went to BB and got a Y adapter and hooked up both my headphones and my new speakers to my sound card. Works great since also have a volume control on my headphones themselves! Sweet!
